Sori

The dressing room smelled like hairspray, nervous sweat, and the faint ghost of a thousand ramen cups.

I stared at my reflection. The idol staring back had flawless skin (thanks to a two-step serum and a prayer), gradient lips, and stage lashes that could catch the wind. But inside, my heart was a clenched fist.

"Five minutes to stage call, Sori-ssi!" a production assistant yelled through the door.

I was a member of the biggest K-pop girl group in the world. And tonight, I was about to ruin everything.

Not on stage. I could dance blindfolded and sing backwards. The ruin would happen after. In the parking garage. Where my ex-boyfriend—the one the entire internet thought I’d never dated—was waiting to give me a ride home.

This is fine, I lied to myself.

I adjusted my cropped blazer. The music show’s fluorescent lights hummed like a warning.

Sun

The van was idling when my phone buzzed.

Unknown Number: She said yes. She’ll meet you at Gate 3 after the broadcast.

I should have felt relieved. Instead, my palms were slick against my jeans.

Three years ago, I let her walk away because I was too young, too scared, and too famous to fight for her. Now I was twenty-one, still too famous, but no longer too scared.

The problem? She still thought I hated her.

I glanced at the bouquet on the passenger seat—baby’s breath and peonies, her favorite. If she threw them in my face, at least I’d have a good story for my therapist.

Or, I thought as the stadium lights flickered on, I’ll just fall in love with her all over again.

Following the massive success of her fantasy romance XOXO, Axie Oh returns to the world of K-Pop with ASAP. However, unlike the lighthearted fangirl-falls-for-idol trope of her previous work, ASAP offers a more somber, mature, and emotionally resonant narrative.

The novel introduces us to Sori, a former K-Pop trainee who has left the industry behind after the tragic death of her mother. She is living a "normal" life, trying to navigate her grief and the crushing weight of expectation from her father. Meanwhile, the world is captivated by Miro, the nation’s "It Boy" and the most famous member of the idol group ASAP.

When Sori’s father pressures her to audition for a chance to debut in an upcoming girl group, she is thrust back into the high-stakes world she tried to escape. But there is a twist: Sori and Miro share a past. As they reconnect, the narrative shifts between the cutthroat reality of the training system and a tender, secret romance that challenges the strict rules of the K-Pop industry.
