Duet in Bloom

(Book Four of The Bleeding heart of an Idol Series)

They stepped into love under the brightest lights in the world. Now, Han Jisung and Nari must learn how to stay in love when the spotlight never fades.

Fresh off the high of their viral on-stage kiss, Han and Nari are navigating a brand-new reality - one where they are no longer just close friends, collaborators, or labelmates. They're a couple. And the world knows it.

From whispered conversations behind dressing room doors to soft smiles exchanged on variety show sets, the once-hidden pieces of their relationship begin to take root in public. While Stray Kids and the Blossoms rally behind them, their managers walk the fine line between support and strategy. But just as they begin settling into the delicate rhythm of balancing careers and companionship, a daring idea throws them into uncharted territory:

What if Han and Nari debuted as a duo unit?

An experimental project, bold and unexpected, born from the raw energy between them - not just as performers, but as people. Music producers scramble to capture their chemistry. Stylists craft a concept that blurs the line between romantic and revolutionary. And the final product? A music video that sets the internet on fire.

When the first teaser drops - just the two of them, eyes locked, voices layered in harmony - the fan response is instant, explosive, and deeply divided.

Some call it the most honest K-pop concept in years. Others question if love and art can coexist without consequences.

As media scrutiny sharpens, and their relationship is dissected note by note, Nari and Han must decide:
Was the kiss just the beginning, or was it the crescendo?
