"We are coworkers now, Jungkook-ssi. Let's keep it that way."
Two years ago, Moon Hyemin had everything. She was the brilliant maknae, composer, and powerhouse of the top-tier girl group Diamond. She was also one half of K-pop's golden couple, sharing a fiercely loved, public relationship with BTS's Jeon Jungkook.
Then came the night of his military discharge. The night Hyemin walked into his apartment with welcome-back flowers, only to catch him in the arms of another woman.
What followed was a brutal cascade of betrayal, a leaked video, and a venomous feud between BTS and Diamond. To save the industry from tearing itself apart and protect the people she loved, Hyemin did the unthinkable: she took the blame for the scandal, branded herself the villain of the nation, and forced Diamond into an indefinite hiatus before vanishing into thin air.
Now, it's 2026. BTS is still reigning supreme, having buried the guilt of the past.
But at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), the lights go down for a highly anticipated, top-secret duet. Jungkook stands center stage, forced to perform with an anonymous, masked female idol. The choreography demands they unmask each other at the climax of the song.
When the velvet mask comes off, Jungkook's world shatters all over again.
Looking back at him with cold, detached eyes is a beautifully restored Moon Hyemin. Diamond is back to reclaim their crown, and Hyemin isn't the fragile girl Jungkook broke anymore. She has rebuilt her own throne from the ashes-and this time, there is absolutely no room on it for him.
