Ryu Hyejin — known to the industry as Anna James — has spent three years living out of a suitcase, building her career entirely on her own merit and keeping her famous family name hidden. When she takes up her new role at MBM Entertainment in Busan, she expects it to be just another posting: quiet, professional, and temporary. But she didn’t count on meeting Ace — Jeon Woo-jin — the quiet, guarded member of K-pop group HYPE, who sees past her carefully built walls and treats her like someone worth knowing, not someone worth using. Two people who’ve learned to keep everyone at arm’s length suddenly find themselves neighbours, colleagues, and something much more. As they navigate the pressures of the spotlight, the expectations of an industry that wants to define them, and the secrets they’ve both worked so hard to protect, they must learn that opening their hearts doesn’t mean losing themselves. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is let someone stay.
