Proximity changes people. What begins as emotional support during ITZY’s comeback preparations slowly evolves into something much harder to define. Between exhaustion, comfort, growing attachment, and the dangerous intimacy of being understood too well, Ben realizes too late that the closer everyone becomes to each other.

Late at night, when ITZY’s Chaeryeong hums her favourite indie track on a Han River bench, the last thing she expects is for the handsome stranger lying on the other side to sing the next line — because it’s his song. Now she’s convinced that this self‑taught producer with a second‑hand studio and a habit of buying hazelnut chocolate “just in case” is exactly what her solo debut needs… but the real missing piece might be her own scaredy‑cat heart.
