Between Dreams & Reality (An I-LAND FF)

Walking into I-LAND, Soomin braced herself for the competition.
She expected the grueling practices.
She expected the relentless pressure.
But nothing had prepared her for the battlefield of emotions that awaited inside.

As the only female trainee, all eyes were on her. Some doubted her abilities outright. Some whispered that she was a distraction. And some... quietly admired the fire she carried. Yet in this world, admiration was fragile. Every challenge, every performance, every single vote-each was a battle for survival.

Soomin pushed herself harder than ever, perfecting every dance move, refining every note of her vocals, refusing to let fear make her falter. She would not crumble-not when she had come this far, not when everything she had worked for was on the line.

And somewhere between the late-night practices and the judging eyes, she discovered more than just skill. She found friendship. She found comfort. And perhaps... she even found something like love.
