Against the Clock

In a world where everyone is born with a countdown to meeting their soulmate, Y/N's timer hits zero during a music show and she locks eyes with none other than ATEEZ's Yunho. The moment freezes them both... literally. Their timers stop, time halts, and everything changes.

But there's a cruel catch: after meeting, the bond demands time. Real, physical presence. The more time they spend together, the more time they earn apart-but the buffer is short. Just hours. If they're separated too long, the sickness begins. And in the cutthroat world of idols, being constantly together isn't just difficult-it's forbidden.

Y/N is just a trainee, weeks away from debut. But the agency sees her as a liability now, a threat to Yunho's rising success. When she's asked to step back from her dream to "protect" his career, she's faced with a brutal choice: sacrifice everything she's worked for, or risk the health of the one person fate has bound her to.

But Yunho? He's not giving up without a fight.
