IN THE ARMS OF MY IDOL He was once his idol’s greatest fan. Then he became the man who broke him. Kim Sook-joo thought getting a job as the manager of Rider, his favourite idol group, was a dream come true. He never imagined it would drag him into a nightmare of obsession, betrayal, and bloodshed. Seven years ago, a fake relationship with Rider’s charismatic leader, Charlie, became the beginning of Kim’s downfall. Trapped between Charlie’s possessiveness and Junhoo’s twisted obsession, Kim suffered a devastating betrayal that drove him to flee, taking his newborn daughter into hiding. But the past never stays buried. When fate brings Kim back into Charlie’s world, old feelings resurface, and for the first time in years, Kim dares to believe he might have a family again. Yet behind the mansion’s glittering walls lie secrets capable of destroying everything he has fought to rebuild. A hidden daughter. A ruthless sister. A murder that never happened. And a woman determined to make Kim pay for a crime he never committed. When tragedy steals the daughter he risked everything to protect, Kim loses the will to live. Charlie, the man who once shattered him, is left fighting to save what remains of the person he claims to love. But love cannot erase trauma, and forgiveness cannot be demanded. Years later, when their paths cross again, Kim must decide whether the man who ruined his life deserves a place in the one he has painstakingly rebuilt. Can two broken men find their way back to each other, or has the past taken too much for love to survive? In a world where obsession wears the face of love, happily ever after comes at a devastating price.
