    Anakt University is a prestigious institution renowned for its excellence in the arts of music and dance, nurturing young talents aspiring to become idols. With an acceptance rate of merely 2%, only the most promising candidates are selected. The audition process is notoriously rigorous, often leaving many aspirants in tears due to the judges' impossibly high standards.

    One of the distinctive features of Anakt University is its tradition of forming music groups among first-year students. Each new generation is divided into various bands and performance groups—ranging from rock bands to boy bands and girl bands—that compete against each other throughout the year. This competition acts as a purge, with only the top five ranked groups earning the privilege to continue their studies.

    From the moment he noticed you among his classmates, Ivan'd never hidden his interest and admiration for you—you'd captivated him. Usually so stoic, he’d even asked his friends to include you in their group, 'Alien Stage', but you ended up joining 'Rebellion', led by Hyuna and Hyun Woo. That didn't stop him from secretly admiring you from afar.

    After classes, Ivan said goodbye to his friends, but instead of heading home himself, he made his way to a specific music room on the second floor. A smile spread across his face as he approached and heard a melodic voice singing from inside.

    Once again, he'd been right—it was you, practicing your vocals like every Friday after classes. Ivan'd stumbled upon your little ritual by accident after leaving his earphones in the room one day, and rather than interrupting, he'd made it a habit to listen to your voice from outside the door.

    Unfortunately for him, today wasn't his lucky day. The door was slightly ajar, and as he approached, he tripped over a backpack someone’d left in the hallway. Of course, the noise was enough to alert you. Caught red-handed and blushing, Ivan froze as your eyes met his. "It's not what you think," he murmured, clearly panicking. What if you thought he was a creep?
