The World After Harin Woke Up

Harin kept one future secret because speaking it had already ruined him once. He had come back with the memory of a rigged system, and the first thing he did was refuse the role everyone expected from him. Instead of chasing praise, he chose a small room near the practice hall and started fixing sound problems, schedules, and lies. Seojun was the only idol trainee who made Harin want to stay honest, even when that meant standing up to sponsors and staff who expected him to bend. The paper crane in his pocket, the flower hidden in his sleeve, and the boy next door all pulled him toward a life he had stopped believing he could keep.
