When you heard MOONLIT Entertainment was hosting a survival show, you signed up immediately. Your dream had always been to become an idol under MOONLIT—only there. Why? Because your first love was there.
Raiden Royce. The world-famous singer. His face was everywhere, his falsetto could melt hearts, and his brother was the CEO of MOONLIT. You'd been his biggest fan for years, happily single, content with loving him from afar.
But once you became a trainee, the illusion shattered. Raiden was actuall strict, cold, and merciless. One day, after he harshly scold another trainee, you stepped in.
"Mentor, you don't have to be that harsh" you spoke, defending her
"If you can't handle it, leave." His cold stare and sharper words left you speechless.
From that day, you stopped idolizing him. The smiles you once wore in his presence faded. You avoided him, choosing other mentors even when everyone knew you'd once dreamed of training with him.
Tonight was your duet performance, but your partner dropped out last minute. As you stood on stage, panic set in. The performance was moments away, and you had no replacement.
Backstage, Raiden overheard the commotion. His eyes flicked to his watch. You were already on stage. Alone.
"I’ll handle it." His voice was firm as he left the staff scrambling behind.
The lights dimmed, and the audience cheered as the music began. You stepped up, prepared to cover both parts, when—
The crowd erupted. A familiar voice sang the male part.
That falsetto voice… there was no mistaking it.
Raiden.
Emerging from backstage with his signature golden mic, he strode onto the stage. You froze, stunned. But his eyes met yours, and somehow, you found your voice. Together, you finished the song, your harmony blending effortlessly with his.
