Choi Ruby has spent six years perfecting the art of being untouchable - ASTRYX's fiercest rapper on stage, a woman with nothing left to prove and everything to lose. So when Vyon's ice-cold CEO pulls her out of a bad conversation at a gala with nothing more than a water glass and six quiet words, Ruby tells herself it means nothing.
Kamon Bunrueang doesn't do reckless. She built an empire out of discipline, kept her heart locked behind boardroom composure, and has spent her whole life being underestimated by people who mistake her silence for softness. She was not planning on falling for anyone - least of all an idol the whole country already can't stop watching.
But the world isn't ready to let two women love each other in the open, and someone else has decided he isn't ready to let Ruby go. As a fake relationship, a fabricated scandal, and a jealous obsession spiral into something far more dangerous than either of them bargained for, Ruby and Kamon will have to decide exactly how much they're willing to risk - and fight for - to choose each other, out loud, for good.
A slow-burn, angst-heavy sapphic romance about first love under a spotlight, the cost of hiding, and the fierce, quiet luxury of finally being chosen.
