GOLDEN - Eng. Version

Lilith doesn't come to Seoul looking for someone to love. She comes to find herself again.

After years spent learning just how dangerous it can be to let someone get too close, she rebuilds her life around the things she can control: her work, dancing, Nyx, her motorcycle, and the nights when the city feels like it belongs to her alone.

Then he appears.

First as the neighbor she was never supposed to know. Then as the man she keeps seeing far too often-in rehearsal rooms, onstage, on tour, in all the moments when she starts forgetting the promise she made to herself: never let anyone close enough to hurt her again.

Jungkook is used to being looked at.

Lilith is one of the few people who actually sees him.

Nothing between them happens quickly. It happens in glances held a second too long, hands brushing by accident, motorcycles stopping side by side at red lights, rehearsals that become far too personal, and nights when they both begin to forget where friendship ends and something neither of them can control begins.

But love doesn't automatically mend everything that was broken before it.

And when Jungkook's world strikes at the very places where Lilith is most vulnerable, he will have to decide what protecting her truly means.

Except Lilith has fought too hard to reclaim her own voice to let anyone-even the man she loves-choose for her.

Because sometimes the most painful thing isn't being unloved.

It's being loved so deeply that the other person decides losing you is the only way to save you.
