The girl Who Tried

For years, Hong Eunchae was the center of their world. No matter where life took them, she was always there beside Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, and Jeon Jungkook. What started as friendship eventually became something deeper. The eight of them built a relationship founded on trust, loyalty, and years of shared memories. They were happiest when they were together, and Eunchae truly believed she had found the people she would spend the rest of her life with. But people become comfortable. And comfort can sometimes turn into carelessness. As schedules grew busier and life became more demanding, the seven boys slowly stopped noticing all the little things Eunchae did for them. They assumed she’d always understand. Always forgive them. Always wait for them. When plans were canceled, she understood. When birthdays were forgotten, she smiled through it. When she needed them and they weren’t there, she told herself it wasn’t a big deal. Until one day she realized she was giving everything to people who no longer seemed to notice how much she was hurting. So she left. No dramatic argument. No final ultimatum. Just distance. For the first time in years, Eunchae chose herself. And that’s when she found unexpected friendships with the members of BOYNEXTDOOR. They welcomed her with open arms, included her in their adventures, checked on her when she seemed quiet, and reminded her what it felt like to be appreciated. Slowly, Eunchae began smiling again. Slowly, she began healing. Meanwhile, the seven boys were left with something they had never experienced before: A life without Eunchae. The group chats felt emptier. The celebrations felt incomplete. The laughter didn’t sound the same. And when they saw Eunchae happy without them, they were finally forced to face the truth. They had never stopped loving her. They had simply stopped showing it. Now the seven

Seoul Arts Academy

Getting accepted into Seoul Arts Academy is nearly impossible. Getting through your first year without embarrassing yourself? Even harder. For twenty-year-old Hong Eunchae, everything changes when she’s unexpectedly admitted to Seoul’s most prestigious performing arts academy, a school where singers, dancers, actors, musicians, and aspiring entertainers train to chase their dreams. It’s exciting. It’s terrifying. And it’s nothing like she expected. On her very first day, Eunchae meets seven students who seem to run the entire campus: Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, and Jeon Jungkook. They’re the school’s most talented—and most chaotic—friend group. Between dance battles in the hallways, impromptu rooftop concerts, late-night study sessions, and elaborate pranks, they’re always finding a way to turn ordinary days into unforgettable memories. Eunchae quickly becomes part of their circle. What starts as friendship soon turns into something none of the boys expected. One by one, they realize they’ve fallen for her. The problem? They’re all best friends. Not wanting to risk destroying the bond they’ve built over the years, they make one ridiculous, heartfelt agreement: Either all of them get the chance to confess their feelings… or none of them do. No sneaking around. No competing. No jealousy. No going behind each other’s backs. Their friendship comes first. So they keep their feelings a secret, convincing themselves that being Eunchae’s friend is enough. It isn’t. As semesters pass, rehearsals turn into late-night conversations, group projects become adventures across Seoul, and every shared laugh makes hiding their feelings a little more difficult. Meanwhile, Eunchae remains completely unaware that the seven boys closest to her are all trying very hard not to fall even harder. But secrets have a way of coming out. Especially in a school where everyone knows eve
