pt 3

Minju's family was loving and supportive, always encouraging her to pursue her passions.

Her mother, Soo-jin, was a kind-hearted homemaker who always put others before herself. She was the glue that held the family together.

Minju's father, Jae-hwan, was a hardworking businessman who provided for the family. He was a bit strict, but he had a soft spot for his daughter's dreams.

Minju's younger brother, Joon-oh, was a mischievous middle schooler who loved teasing his sister. Despite his antics, he looked up to Minju and admired her dedication to her fans.

As Minju navigated her complicated feelings for Taeoh, her family noticed a change in her.

"Minju, what's wrong?" Soo-jin asked, concern etched on her face. "You've been distant lately."

Minju sighed, unsure how to share her emotions. "It's just...Taeoh, mom. I don't know what's happening."

Jae-hwan frowned. "Taeoh? The idol? Minju, be careful. He's not someone you can trust."

Joon-oh chimed in, "Yeah, sis! Don't get too close to him! He's got a bad reputation!"

Minju smiled wryly. "I know, I know. But there's something about him...I can't explain it."

Soo-jin placed a gentle hand on Minju's shoulder. "We trust you, dear. Just be careful and don't forget what's important.

As Minju struggled to make sense of her feelings, Taeoh's world was turned upside down. Aquarius's manager, Mr. Lee, had just announced a shocking new project - a collaboration with a popular American artist, and Taeoh was chosen to lead the project.

But there was a catch - the American artist, none other than the infamous bad boy, Ryder, had a reputation for being difficult to work with. And to make matters worse, Ryder had a history with Hana, Aquarius's main vocalist.

Taeoh was torn. On one hand, this project could catapult Aquarius to global stardom. On the other hand, he risked losing his already-fragile grip on his emotions, especially with Minju still lingering in his mind.

As tensions rose, Minju received an unexpected call from Taeoh. "Meet me at the studio tonight," he said, his voice low and urgent. "I need to see you."

Minju's heart skipped a beat. What did Taeoh want from her now?

That night, Minju arrived at the studio to find Taeoh pacing back and forth, his eyes blazing with intensity. "I need your help, Minju," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I need you to help me get through this project without losing myself."

Minju's heart went out to him. She knew exactly what he meant. "I'll do it, Taeoh," she said, her voice firm. "I'll be there for you."

And with that, Minju found herself entangled in a web of secrets, lies, and scandals that threatened to destroy everything she held dear. Would she be able to keep Taeoh from falling apart, or would the pressures of the K-pop world tear them apart forever?
