Case of Eighty8

Aria Choi never expected a simple act of kindness to change her life.

One rainy night, a tired stranger walked into her café just before closing. A warm coffee, a shared conversation, and a walk home later, she discovered the stranger was none other than Ni-ki of the world-famous group Eighty8.
After rumors of their brief encounter spread online, both are forced to stay away from each other. A year passes. Aria graduates, becomes an attorney, and moves on with her life.
Until tragedy strikes.
When Eighty8 member Sunghoon is left fighting for his life after a brutal attack, Aria is unexpectedly assigned to the biggest case of her career, representing the very group she once shared a secret connection with.
As she searches for the truth behind the attack, old memories resurface, hidden feelings begin to return, and Aria finds herself pulled back into Ni-ki's world.

In a story of healing, mystery, friendship, and slow-burn romance, one rainy night may have changed more than either of them ever realized.

"A cup of coffee. A shared umbrella. A year of silence. And a reunion neither of them saw coming." ☔✨
