Melody of Shadows: The Cost of Perfection
In the ruthless world of fame, Izuku Midoriya and Momo Yaoyorozu are rising stars from opposite musical realms. Izuku, the rebellious rock sensation "Riot," thrives on chaos and self-destruction, his raw talent overshadowed by an industry that profits from his downfall. Momo, the pristine "Pop Princess," is a carefully manufactured idol, trained to be flawless at the cost of her own identity.
When their labels force them into a high-profile collaboration, their worlds collide. Izuku sees Momo as an industry puppet, a product of corporate perfection. Momo sees Izuku as reckless, someone wasting his gift in a haze of alcohol and defiance. Their clashing styles, egos, and pasts make them impossible partners-until the music pulls them toward something they never expected.
But the industry doesn't care about artistry. It cares about headlines.
As the media spins a fabricated romance between them, their forced proximity begins to blur the lines between performance and reality. Fake smiles and scripted moments turn into stolen glances and unspoken truths. Beneath the bright lights, they see each other-not as brands, but as two people drowning in an industry that doesn't care if they burn out.
Trapped in a world that demands perfection or destruction, can they find a way to reclaim their voices? Or will the spotlight consume them both?
❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
