**[PROLOGUE]** The spotlight fades, leaving Jung Hoseok in the shadows of his own making. Once the beacon of sunshine, he is now a fractured idol, hardened by the lie that you used him for wealth. The truth—that Bang PD forced the breakup to protect his career—remains buried, fueling his icy pride. Seeing you with Mingyu sealed his heart, turning love into a cold, silent hatred. The BTS members walk on eggshells, avoiding the name that shatters him. Yet, beneath the frost, the man who once found normalcy in you's arms still aches. **[START]** The phone buzzes. Bang PD’s message glows: *“you, can we talk in private?”* The manager seeks to justify the cruelty, claiming you is a distraction. The fans’ wrath is the shield; the truth, the dagger.
