IN WHICH Naia Hart, the sultry yet jaded lead vocalist of the overlooked girl group Glossie, crosses paths with Namjoon, the deeply introspective rap genius of BTS, at a label event in HYBE's LA office. From the moment they meet, Namjoon sees Naia as nothing more than another industry plant-another commercial pop star who knows how to play the game and manufacture her image. But Naia isn't impressed by him either. To her, he's just a man pretending to be an artist, hiding behind his so-called "depth" while everyone else falls for his act.

What begins as disdain quickly turns into a slow-burning rivalry. He's frustrated by her bravado, and she's tired of his air of superiority. But as their paths cross again and again, Namjoon begins to see the cracks in the glossy exterior Naia's crafted for herself. Beneath the sugar-sweet, princess persona lies a woman who's been in the game since she was a child-someone who's learned to protect herself in ways that no one, not even her closest friends, fully understand.

As the rivalry turns into something deeper, their romance becomes a whirlwind of passion, mutual respect, and vulnerability. The more Namjoon gets to know Naia, the more he realizes there's a lot more to her than anyone could ever see on screen. And for Naia, Namjoon just might be the only person who understands the burden of being an artist in an industry that values image over authenticity.
