nursing school was supposed to be hard.
y/n knew that.
what she didn't expect were the sleepness nights, failed exams, endless clinical hours, and the constant feeling that she wasn't good enough.
between studying, hospital shifts, and trying to keep herself together, she finds comfort in one thing: stray kids.
more specifically, han jisung.
his music becomes the soundtrack to her late-night study sessions and the voice that reminds her to keep going when she feels like giving up.
after years of supporting him from afar, y/n finally gets the chance to meet him at a fansign. during their brief conversation, she talks about nursing school, her dream of helping others, and the exam she's convinced she's going to fail.
to her, it's just a few minutes she'll never forget.
to han, it's a conversation that stays with him.
months later, their paths unexpectedly cross again during a children's hospital charity event. while everyone around her is excited about stray kids' visit, y/n is focused on her patients, her responsibilities, and surviving another exhausting day.
she assumes han won't remember her.
she's wrong.
han immediately recognizes the exhausted nursing student who spoke so passionately about caring for others despite struggling herself.
as their paths continue to cross in unexpected ways, han begins noticing the girl who always seems to be carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
what starts as concern turns into friendship.
friendship turns into trust.
and trust slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore.
but when one person lives under stage lights and the other is still trying to find her place in the world, can they really have a future together?
or are some stories meant to remain dreams?
a slow-burn fan-to-friends-to-lovers story about healing, perseverance, friendship, and finding someone who sees you when you feel invisible--even beyond the stage lights.
