Synopsis

I reunited with Ryu Dohyuk, the ex-boyfriend I had dumped, on an idol survival show.

I was a struggling trainee, and he was the host.

"Why are you living like this? You threw away our relationship to debut, so why are you still at rock bottom?"

"...We're not together anymore. Do I really need to answer that question?"

Despite his earlier glare, Ryu Dohyuk was now being needlessly professional, keeping his personal and professional lives strictly separate.

The confusion was entirely Seha's burden.

"Does that friend of yours know about us? Or is he just sticking around to mess with me?"

"He's just a former colleague from my old agency..."

Dohyuk pretended to be indifferent, yet he was clearly concerned about Seha's interactions with other contestants.

The moment Seha saw the bloodshot veins in Ryu Dohyuk's eyes, he knew.

"Do you know why I've clung so desperately to this industry?"

"......"

"So that I can at least see the face of hyung, who debuted without fear."

The young beast he had cruelly released...

"But seeing you in someone else's arms right in front of me... that's just wrong."

It felt like that beast had returned as a fully grown predator, ready to sink its teeth into his neck.
