For the past two years, Lena and Jungkook have been living a love story that was never supposed to exist. Lena is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable young actresses and models. Jungkook is a global superstar whose every move is watched by millions. Together, they’re untouchable—but only as long as no one knows they’re together. Their relationship has always been complicated. Secret dates, stolen moments between schedules, late-night phone calls, and constantly pretending they’re nothing more than friends. They’ve sacrificed normalcy, privacy, and even parts of their relationship to protect the careers they worked so hard to build. But Lena has always believed that, despite everything, Jungkook chooses her. So when she unexpectedly flies to Los Angeles to surprise him at one of his biggest concerts, she’s excited to finally see him after weeks apart. She never expects to hear what he says when she walks backstage. Hidden just out of sight, Lena overhears Jungkook talking with the boys. He tells them that he and Lena aren’t dating. Then comes the part that shatters her. He’s been talking to another girl. Suddenly, the two years Lena thought they shared feel like a lie. Was Jungkook trying to protect their secret—or has there been another woman all along? And why would he risk everything they built together? Lena came to Los Angeles planning to surprise the man she loved. Instead, she may have just discovered the secret he never intended for her to hear.
