As Santa gains more solo fame, tensions grow within his group. Despite the pressure, a quiet romance starts to develop between him and Perth.

Est, who secretly has feelings for Perth, is paired with William from the popular boy group LYKN. William appears carefree, but Est soon realizes that William is hiding many struggles. The pressure of constant performances, band issues, and the weight of fame are taking a toll on him.

When William suddenly collapses on set, Est learns more about William's personal battles. As their bond grows stronger, they find themselves caught in a world where career and personal feelings mix.

Will they be able to stay true to themselves, or will fame tear them apart? The road ahead is uncertain, and each must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for love and peace.
