Stardust Stories

From the creator of the Lovesick Monster Universe comes a collection of stories over drinks.

Tucked away in the heart of Namdaemun, Stardust is no ordinary bar-it's a sanctuary where K-pop idols escape the spotlight, trading stage lights for the warm glow of whiskey and conversation. At the helm is Rachel Mizu, a sharp-witted bartender who knows how to mix the perfect drink-and uncover the stories behind every sip.

Alongside her eccentric yet lovable crew-her shy but extremely well-endowed brother Mizu Tsuki, Twice's Myoui Mina, the owner of the neighboring SevenRings gaming café, the delightfully bizarre Kim Hana, and the ever-reliable Kwon Changhoon-Rachel serves up more than just cocktails. Every glass is filled with laughter, longing, secrets, and serendipity.

From late-night confessions over whiskey to unexpected reunions over sangria, each chapter follows a different drink, a different idol, and a different emotion-served shaken, stirred, or straight-up neat. With regulars like Itzy's Ryujin and Yuna, Le Sserafim's Kazuha, and rising stars like H1-Key's Yel and Kiss of Life's Julie, Stardust is more than just a bar-it's a meeting place for lives, love, and everything in between.

A warm, intoxicating blend of humor, romance, and the bittersweet truths hidden at the bottom of every glass, Stardust Stories is the perfect read for anyone who believes that the best conversations-and the most unforgettable moments-happen over a drink.
