Oh My Dearest Manager

### **Story Summary**

Tina Park has never believed in happily-ever-afters.

In her world, success is calculated in minutes, scandals erase years, and emotions are liabilities no professional can afford. As the ruthless senior manager behind rising K-pop group **NØCTURN**, she controls chaos for a living - contracts, schedules, damage control. The boys shine under the lights because she stands in the shadows.

She keeps them safe.
She keeps them relevant.
She keeps them distant.

What she never planned for... was becoming important to them.

One by one, the members begin to notice her - not the manager the industry fears, but the woman who skips meals to make sure they eat, who remembers birthdays no one else tracks, who quietly shields them from pressures they never see. What starts as respect turns into attachment, attachment into reliance, and reliance into something far more dangerous.

None of them confess.

They don't need to.

Because love grows in the spaces between rehearsals, late-night studio sessions, airport waits, and silent understanding - until five hearts begin orbiting the same person.

Tina refuses to see it.
She refuses to feel it.
And she absolutely refuses to risk everything they've built.

But love doesn't care about professionalism.
And it definitely doesn't follow rules.

As fame rises and scrutiny tightens, the line between career and emotion collapses - forcing Tina to confront the impossible:

Not choosing between five men...
but choosing whether she's brave enough to love them at all.

In an industry that destroys weakness and feeds on scandal, can one woman risk everything - reputation, future, and the group she protected - for a love the world will never understand?

Or will she walk away before her heart rewrites every rule she's lived by?
