1988. During the BAD World Tour, Michael Jackson and rising singer Y/N become increasingly inseparable backstage. To the public, they’re just close friends. The media catches lingering touches, private conversations, and looks that seem a little too intimate, but neither of them ever confirms the rumors. The problem is that nothing has actually happened between them. Not yet. Somewhere between rehearsals, sleepless nights, growing jealousy, emotional dependence, and months of unresolved tension, their friendship slowly becomes something far more dangerous than either of them knows how to handle.
