Not Your Fan

He didn't mean to fall and spill coffee because of a global popstar. But fate has a twisted sense of humor.

Edwin Seo lives quietly between bookstore shelves and espresso machines, far from the glittering chaos of idol life. He knows what VXON is-everyone does-but he's not interested in screaming fans, sold-out concerts, or swooning over pretty boys with perfect smiles.

Until he collides with one.

Literally.

One clumsy moment, one unexpected bump that sends a tray of drinks flying, and Edwin finds himself face-to-face with River Kwon-the untouchable, devastatingly gorgeous lead vocalist of the world's biggest boyband.

Strict. Arrogant. Smirking like he owns the universe.

River's not used to people standing their ground, let alone someone, utterly unaware of his fame, bursting into a furious rant at him. But something about Edwin's raw, unrecognizing defiance feels like oxygen-unfiltered, unbothered, and dangerously addictive.

What starts as a messy first meeting turns into unexpected run-ins, cryptic conversations, and a teasing dance between two people who were never supposed to orbit each other.

But in River's world, falling in love is the most forbidden song of all.
And Edwin? He might just be the only person who makes him want to sing it anyway.
