Between Distance and Desire

Y/N has one rule: do not fall in love with someone who can afford to leave you.

After her mother survives a cardiac arrest, the bills arrive like a second emergency. When a job offer materializes-one month, generous pay, a private driver for an actress she's never met-Y/N tells herself it's temporary. A transaction. The kind of arrangement that doesn't ask anything personal of you if you don't let it.

Kim Jisoo is everything Y/N expected: famous, wealthy, and surrounded by people who want things from her. What Y/N didn't expect was the quiet. The way Jisoo asks questions and then actually listens to the answers. The way she laughs-startled, unguarded-in the back of a moving car. The way Y/N finds herself counting minutes until the next shift.

Jisoo has her own arithmetic: she has learned to calculate her worth in her parents' approval, and the number is always coming up short. She is being steered toward an arranged marriage she doesn't want, a life built for an audience she's grown to despise. And then there is Y/N-who sees her without a camera, without an angle, without wanting anything back.

"Between Distance and Desire" is a slow-burn love story about two women who are afraid of different things, circling the same truth: that love doesn't promise safety. It just makes you brave enough not to need it.
