Between Spotlight and Shadows (NewJeans x M!Reader/OC)

First Story, so bear with me a little bit lol
-----------
For Kang Taejin, dance is everything-his path, his dream, his escape. But when the girl he thought he'd spend forever with leaves him without warning, Taejin's passion for dance is the first casualty. Struggling to perform under the weight of heartbreak, he finds himself caught between the demands of an unforgiving industry and the pain that shadows his every step.

In a world where weakness isn't an option, Taejin's fragile composure starts to crack. His instructor's growing frustration mirrors his own, and his once-bright future in the spotlight now seems distant and blurred. Just as he's at his breaking point, a surprising offer arrives: a chance to start fresh in a place he never expected.

Torn between what he's lost and what he still hopes to achieve, Taejin must decide-will he let go of his past, or will he let it consume him?
