Three years ago, Katie Wu disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. Just… gone. Now the pop singer’s back in Seoul with a tell-all memoir. Rapper Park Jae-sung thought he was over Katie Wu. He was wrong. When he runs into her at his label, all his fury, hurt, and unanswered questions come roaring back. Was he a monster? Where did she go? Why did she ghost him? Katie knows she owes Jae-sung answers. She owes everyone answers. But all she wants is to move on—reconnect with her DOYEN friends, pursue acting, and build a life that doesn’t revolve around music. Then there’s Park Dae-jung. He’s watched his bandmate Jae-sung fall for Katie and picked up the pieces after she left. When Dae-jung is cast opposite Katie in a movie, sparks fly between them. He’s wracked with guilt, and the line between acting and reality has never been thinner. As all three navigate shame and forgiveness, they must decide if love can survive what they’ve done to each other.
