EMERALD HOURSome loves are meant to stay hidden. Until the world finds them.Mia Han has spent her entire life being noticed for one thing: her unmistakable green eyes.But in Seoul, she’s determined to be noticed for something else.At twenty-two, Mia finally lands the opportunity she’s been working toward—a coveted internship at Wave Entertainment, one of South Korea’s biggest entertainment companies. Her job is simple: keep her head down, work hard, and never cross the invisible line between staff and artist.Then she meets Jaewon.Leader and lead vocalist of VANTA, the biggest boy group in the country, Jaewon has spent years perfecting the version of himself the world wants to see. He’s disciplined, private, and untouchable.Until Mia.What begins with a five-minute encounter in a cramped fitting room slowly becomes stolen conversations, late-night messages, secret meetings, and moments neither of them can explain away.But Jaewon’s world comes with rules Mia never knew existed.Dating could violate his contract.Being discovered could threaten VANTA’s future.And being associated with him could destroy Mia’s career.They know they should walk away.Instead, they keep finding their way back to each other.For a while, they manage to build something that belongs only to them—hidden between schedules, locked doors, midnight streets, and the few precious hours when nobody is watching.Until someone starts noticing.And in an industry where one photograph can become a headline, a rumor can become a weapon, and millions of strangers think they own a piece of your life, keeping a secret may be impossible.Because loving Jaewon was never supposed to be easy.It was never supposed to be public.And it was never supposed to change everything.But sometimes the most dangerous love is the one that finally feels real.
