Novel
Teaching the Idol to Kiss
A Steamy K-Pop Romance
He's the most wanted man in K-Pop. He's never been kissed. And she's been hired to teach him.
Seo Da-in has played a zombie thirty-seven times. Ten years in the business, a hundred and twenty bit parts, not one NG on her record — and her best credit is Design Team Employee 3.
Lee Tae-on is the center of ZENITH, the face on every billboard in Seoul, and the lead of HBN's next big drama. At the first table read, the script says he kisses her. In front of the whole cast and crew, he freezes.
He has never kissed anyone. On camera or off.
So his agency hires him an acting coach. One practice room. Five clauses: physical contact only as the script requires, no private contact, no personal feelings. Da-in signs and adds a sixth in pen: when she says cut, it's over.
Grab her wrist. Share the umbrella. The back hug. The wall pin. The kiss. Every scene has an excuse — it's in the script. And every rehearsal makes the excuse a little harder to believe.
Because the idol who can't fake a single feeling has started looking at her like he isn't acting.
And because he asked for her by name. He has a reason. She has no idea what it is.
One practice room. One contract. One kiss that was never in the script.
