Synopsis
Summery: To the public, Rin Kiyama is Japan’s brightest star—smiling eyes, honey-dipped words, and a charm so soft it melts crowds across Asia. He’s the sunshine center of the nation’s most popular boy group, the kind of man who bows politely on shows and flirts just enough to make hearts race. But when the cameras turn off, that golden glow fades fast. Off-screen, Rin is sharp-tongued, hot-tempered, and dangerously clever—a bad boy with a reputation for breaking the rules and dodging emotions. He’s tired of pretending to be the perfect fantasy everyone wants. What he craves now is something real—and he’s found it in the last person he ever expected. Yuna Saeki is a legend in her own right—CEO of a rising entertainment empire, a former actress with a voice that once dominated the charts, and a woman known for being as beautiful as she is terrifying. Ice-cold in boardrooms, unshakable in interviews, and completely immune to idols—until Rin walks into her office with a crooked smile and eyes that say he already owns her. Their partnership is just business. On paper. But behind closed doors, Rin sheds his fake smiles. He sneaks gentle touches—pulling her into unexpected hugs, letting her braid his hair when she gets close. He curls up beside her in quiet moments, resting his head on her shoulder, just being in her space. And Yuna—strong, composed Yuna—finds herself drawn in by the unexpected sweetness of a man who’s so genuine with her. She’s cold. He’s colder. But their moments together burn with a tension neither of them can deny.

Everyone's scared of her. Rin is obsessed with her.Her presence is quiet but powerful—she doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't need to.She doesn't chase. She doesn't flirt. But when she chooses to care, it's devastating.
