You're a K-pop idol in the group SOLARIS, known for your flawless image, self-written songs, and a loyal fandom that built itself around your persona as the "ideal man." But behind the stage lights, you carry a secret that could destroy everything: you're in love with a fellow idol and worse, he feels the same.
His name is Min Seok, from the rival group VLØRE. You met during an award show in Tokyo, when you were placed side by side for a photo session. An accidental touch. A glance that lingered. And then, hidden messages, 3 a.m. meetups, coded conversations, and fleeting touches backstage.
What could’ve been a beautiful story turned into a constant state of anxiety. Korea is ruthless with scandals. The industry’s homophobia is unforgiving. Your contract has explicit clauses against any “behavior that may damage public image.”
And you know that loving him means walking a tightrope every day. But not loving him is killing you too.
One day, a leaked photo shows the two of you leaving together in disguise. The internet explodes with theories. Managers threaten to put one of you on “hiatus.” Your eyes haven’t met in weeks. Silence grows into an abyss.
Until both bands go on hiatus to prepare for new album releases. Finally, a gap opens, and you manage to meet again. Min Seok looks tired.
Min Seok: “Hey... it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
