Your crush... but he already belongs to someone else.

In a school where popularity, talent, and reputation decide everything, Lee Heesung sits at the very top—lead singer of Midnight Echo, effortlessly loved, effortlessly watched, and completely out of reach in a way everyone understands but no one questions.

At the annual music festival, the entire school gathers under blinding stage lights as he steps forward, guitar in hand, and calls out his girlfriend’s name in front of everyone. The crowd reacts like it’s a scene they’ve been waiting for—perfect, expected, untouchable.

Except you’re not part of that scene.

You’re standing just outside the spotlight, close enough to see everything, far enough that no one thinks to look your way.

You were never supposed to matter in his world. Not the music, not the attention, not the version of him everyone falls for so easily. But somewhere between stolen glances and quiet admiration, it stopped feeling harmless.

Now every performance feels louder. Every smile he gives her feels sharper. And every moment you witness from the edges starts to feel like something you should’ve looked away from long ago.

Because in a world where some people are chosen and others only watch from the sidelines, falling for the wrong person doesn’t feel like a choice.

It feels like gravity.
