In a city that never noticed broken people, Eli had already decided to disappear.But the night he tried to give up on life, a stranger pulled him back from the edge.That stranger was Kai Vale - the nation's most untouchable idol. Beautiful. Perfect. Loved by millions. A person who seemed too bright to ever understand darkness.Yet behind Kai's flawless smile hid a soul just as shattered.While the world worshipped Kai, Eli became the only one who saw the pain buried beneath the fame, the exhaustion behind every performance, and the silent cries no one else noticed. What began as gratitude slowly twisted into devotion... then obsession.Because once Kai became Eli's only reason to live, letting go was no longer an option.And for Kai - drowning in a life he could no longer endure - Eli's dangerous love began to feel like the only place he could breathe.But when two broken souls start depending on each other too much, love stops being salvation.It becomes destruction.Will Eli become Kai's safe haven in a cruel world... or will their obsession drag them both into a ruin neither of them can escape?
