    Summary

    For as long as he can remember, Mingi has wanted to perform. Get up on stage and catch every person’s eye, make them unable to look away.

    The irony of his current position isn’t lost on Mingi, as screeches and hoots roll over him at a particularly sharp thrust of his hips. While not quite the Tokyo Dome, slowly taking his clothes off while dancing on the main stage at the Treasure Club is no less daunting on ladies’ night.

    Or in which Mingi dances exotically to make ends meet. As a favour to his boss, he starts working the private nights at underground bar Eden, hosting its wealthiest and most crooked patrons. There, he meets a tall drink of water who changes the trajectory of his life.

    Summary

    Mingis life wasn't terrible, but it really wasn't anything special besides existing. He worked mostly graveyard and closing shifts making it hard for him to make any friends since he basically operated in a different timezone than anyone else in the city. He lived in a kind of shitty area but the apartment was cheap and only one of his neighbors was really annoying, so he couldn't complain. That was until a certain Jeong Yunho starts showing up at his job more often, bringing sunlit days and soft eyes to Mingis midnight shifts. But Yunho also brought bloodied knuckles and danger, bringing old memories of a life Mingi thought he would never live again with him.

    Yunho was so lucky that Mingis favorite color was red.

    Summary

    "Yunho didn’t need to close his eyes to remember it. He’d lived through it enough times, replaying every scene in the theater of his mind until the edges of his memories blurred into something too close to the present.”

    Song Mingi has always been by Yunho’s side, first as a friend, then as a dream, and now, painfully, as something just out of reach. From sleepless trainee nights to stardom under the same spotlight, Yunho’s heart has been quietly unraveling in the shadows of what he cannot say.

    Loving Mingi feels like both a miracle and a curse, especially when that love feels wrong inside him, too big, too consuming, too shameful to ever be voiced. So Yunho pulls away, silently, carefully, convinced it's better this way. Better to protect Mingi, better to guard the group, better to suffer alone.

    But distance breeds questions. Jealousy simmers. Tension builds. And as the line between longing and breaking thins, Yunho has to decide how long he can stay silent before everything falls apart.

    Summary

    Three years ago, Mingi disappeared.

    Captured. Brainwashed. Reprogrammed into the very weapon the rebellion swore to fight against. Yunho has spent every day since searching the ruins of their city for a glimpse of the boy who once whispered freedom songs into his skin.

    Now, Mingi is the government’s sharpest blade: efficient, merciless, and nearly unrecognizable. Except for the way he hesitates. The way his eyes flicker when Yunho says his name. The way Yunho still believes.

    Trapped in a world where music is contraband and memory is currency, the rebellion fights with rhythm, color, and sound - broadcasting resistance through cracked speakers and coded frequencies, even hope has a price.

    Yunho has risked everything: his role in the resistance, the lives of those who follow him, and the trust of the men he calls family. All for the chance to reach the part of Mingi that still remembers what it means to love and be loved.

    "He remembered my name this time."

    And that might be enough to end a war.
