Author's Note
Dear Reader,
This is a story born from the quiet heartbreaks we rarely talk about — the kind of love that blooms in silence, suffers under harsh lights, and sometimes ends before it ever has the chance to begin.
In the bright world of fame, where every smile is judged and every step is watched, how do two fragile souls find each other?
And how do they survive a world that doesn't believe they deserve happiness?
This novel is for anyone who has ever loved deeply but lost to the world's noise.
For those who know that sometimes, love alone isn't enough to save a heart already breaking.
I hope you feel Hana and Minjae's story in your own heart.
Thank you for reading, and walking this journey with me.
— With love,
Ella Noe
