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.

Ryujin wanted honesty. Ben made the mistake of giving it to her. Somewhere between expensive liquor, emotional oversharing, unresolved attraction, and one catastrophically irresponsible weekend, the line between emotional attachment and desire finally disappears completely. And somehow? Returning to the Top Floor afterward ends up being the most dangerous part.

Ryujin is given a glimpse into a different life — one where she chose herself over the stage. But as fragments of her real memories begin resurfacing, the line between reality and desire slowly begins to break apart. And the more she falls in love with this life… the harder it becomes to leave it behind.
