With their fame surging alongside Stray Kids, the company devised a plan to capitalize on the buzz. The strategy? To stage a fake relationship between Aera and Minho.

They don't meet on a stage. They don't meet under spotlights or flashing cameras. They meet somewhere quiet-a place built for discretion, where names don't carry weight and the world feels far away. One is globally known, recognizable wherever she goes. The other is celebrated closer to home, careful, grounded, and unprepared for how loud the world can become. This is not a coming out story. Their families love them. Their friends stand by them. The conflict lives elsewhere-in distance, in culture, in public scrutiny, and in the expectations placed on women who are never truly allowed to belong to themselves. This is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance about finding intimacy in private moments, choosing each other without spectacle, and learning what love looks like when it exists quietly-even when the world refuses to be.

(This book features original music composed specifically for the story) At the birth of a star, nothing begins the way you expect. Following difficult times at home, Ae Rin finds herself suddenly uprooted from everything she knows and sent across the world-to South Korea, a place that feels as distant as her own future. She doesn't arrive with big dreams or ambitions. Music, for her, has always been a refuge, not a destination. But as Ae Rin steps into the unforgiving world of idol training, everything starts to change. Behind closed doors and bright practice rooms, she discovers a reality filled with competition, hidden betrayals, fragile friendships, and emotions she never planned to feel. Trust becomes dangerous. Love feels impossible. And the line between surviving and shining grows thinner every day. As she navigates auditions, survival shows, and the weight of expectations, she must decide who she is willing to become-and what parts of herself she refuses to lose. This story includes original music woven into the narrative, following Ae Rin's growth from quiet nights and handwritten lyrics to the stage lights waiting ahead. A journey about resilience, identity, and the sound you make when the world is finally listening.
