hate you like I should

Kairo and Elysia hate each other.

Not in the petty idol-PR-rivalry way.
They genuinely can't stand each other.

He thinks she's loud, overrated, and always playing victim for the cameras.
She thinks he's arrogant, robotic, and too scared to show who he really is.

The only thing they agree on? They've got no business breathing the same air - let alone recording a duet together.

But when a top global brand signs NOVA and SYREN as joint ambassadors for a year-long, heavily promoted, "unity" campaign... everything changes. That means shared events. Shared rehearsals. Shared interviews. And-worse-shared living quarters in a private artist dorm to "build chemistry."

It was supposed to be professional.
It was supposed to fix their public feud.
It was never supposed to feel like this.

But the longer they're forced to orbit each other, the more dangerous the tension becomes. Because hate this sharp doesn't stay hate for long-and K-pop's biggest scandal might not be a fight.

It might be a kiss.
