    Summary

    I’m such an idiot.

    But then again, we’ve both been idiots in love.

    Standing in front of JYPE HQ, I secretly hoped to run into Chris after two months of silence. Part of me wanted to scream at him for hurting me, the other part wanted to make sure he is okay. I wasn’t prepared for the way it would feel, hearing him say my name with such desperation and then watching him run toward me on the streets of Seoul. How do you piece something back together that's been so spectacularly wrecked by lies and heartbreak?

    After the dramatic ending of The Side Effect Is You, Nuna finds herself in Seoul, South Korea, after accepting a once-in-a-lifetime work opportunity. A chance encounter with Christopher outside of JYPE thrusts Nuna back into his orbit. As they learn to talk, trust, and love again, we follow Chris and Nuna on the journey that marks the beginning of the rest of their lives.
