When Soo-a Lim walks into the studio, she isn't looking to make friends-she's looking to make music. As the new vocal director tapped to refine NCT DREAM's comeback sound, her reputation precedes her: bold, brilliant, and brutally honest.
Haechan isn't impressed.
Known for his genius instincts and quick wit, he's not used to being challenged-especially not by someone who critiques his demos without blinking. From their very first session, sparks fly...and not the romantic kind.
But the more they clash, the deeper the pull. Beneath Sora's fire is a quiet hurt she keeps well-hidden, and beneath Haechan's sarcasm is a softness reserved for those he truly lets in. Between late-night studio sessions, passive-aggressive notes, and accidental harmony, the line between rivalry and something more begins to blur.
In a world ruled by timing, tone, and trust, can two artists stop talking past each other long enough to hear what their hearts have been trying to say?
Or will mixed signals drown out their chance at something real?
