Yoo Ji-hoon is the main vocalist of Nova , the biggest boy band in Asia. Perfect smile, choreographed humility, and a dating ban that expires in three years. Han So-yul is an award-winning actress known for her icy elegance and refusal to do variety shows. She’s never dated anyone famous.
So-yul watches him pace. “What do you want, Ji-hoon? Not your agency. Not the fans. You.”
He laughs bitterly. “I’ve never been in love. Not real love. Just fans’ love.”
A blurred photo surfaces on a gossip site: Ji-hoon and So-yul entering the same apartment building at 2 AM. Hashtags explode: #JiYul, #DatingScandal, #ProtectNova.
He stops. “You. I want you. But I’m not brave enough yet.”
