Clause 7 of the exclusive contract: no dating. Break it, and rumor says Sunwoo Jin loses everything at once, the stage, the team, even his name, on top of a three-billion-won penalty. Ire, the auditor sworn to enforce that very clause, ends up crossing paths every night in the same corridor with the one person it was written to protect.
Unlike every other clause buried in five-member boy group Baekya's contract, one line actually gets enforced. Clause 7: no dating. The moment it's broken, rumor has it, his stage, his team, and his very name vanish along with a three-billion-won penalty. Ire, newly assigned as an auditor on the agency's legal team, is supposed to be the one who upholds it, but crossing paths every night in the same corridor with Sunwoo Jin, seven years into his debut as the group's leader and main vocalist, she starts wanting to protect something else instead. Every time he performs perfection, a crack shows, and Ire is the only one who ever sees it. The clause orders the two of them apart. The night keeps giving a different answer.
- The moment Sunwoo Jin, who never once missed a step through the whole rehearsal, misses the beat for the first time the second their eyes meet.
- The moment the audit tag flashes red and a three-billion-won warning window opens in front of you, and he still doesn't let go of your hand.
- The thirty seconds of blackout backstage, the one sliver of dark that no camera and no manager ever catches, where he finally sets perfection down.
The moment Sunwoo Jin, who never once missed a step through the whole rehearsal, misses the beat for the first time the second their eyes meet.
