The dispatch photo broke the internet.
"NEON’s Sori and Solo Artist Sun Spotted Holding Hands in Jeju Island – Agency Confirms 'They Are Getting to Know Each Other'"
I laughed at my phone while Sun made breakfast in our shared apartment—the one no one knew about except our managers and the delivery drivers.
"Ten million likes on the confirmation post," I announced.
"Only ten million?" He slid a plate of omelet rice toward me. "I must be losing my touch."
"You never had a touch."
He kissed my forehead. "Liar."
Outside, the Seoul skyline glowed. Inside, a playlist shuffled to the first song I ever wrote about him—back when we were just two kids who didn't know any better.
Now we did. And we chose each other anyway. ASAP by Axie Oh EPUB PDF
THE END
Before you search for the download link, let’s talk about why this book is worth the hard drive space.
Title: ASAP Author: Axie Oh Series: XOXO #2 (Companion)
Official Synopsis: Sori, the "It Girl" of Korea’s most famous K-pop group, has worked her whole life to be perfect. But when a scandal threatens to ruin her career, she needs a fake boyfriend—and fast. Enter Nathaniel: a former fellow trainee, a stoic and incredibly hot rookie. He agrees to the arrangement, but only if Sori helps him reconnect with the trainee life he left behind.
The catch? Sori broke Nathaniel’s heart two years ago. Now, pretending to be in love might just be the realest thing they’ve ever done.
Readers expecting a fluffy rom-com might be surprised by the depth of ASAP. While the romance is a driving force, the heart of the novel is Sori’s journey through grief.
Oh masterfully contrasts the artificial brightness of the K-Pop world—the makeup, the cameras, the choreography—with Sori’s internal darkness. The industry demands perfection and happiness, but Sori is struggling to simply feel okay. The book poses a compelling question: Can you manufacture a perfect pop star persona while your inner self is falling apart?
The "training" sections are particularly gripping. Oh, who is Korean-American, writes with an authenticity that highlights the grueling nature of the idol system. It is not glamorous; it is a survival of the fittest involving starvation diets, sleepless nights, and constant scrutiny. Sori’s struggle isn't just about winning Miro’s heart; it is about surviving a system that tries to strip away her individuality.

Sun drove with one hand on the wheel, the other gripping the bouquet like a lifeline. I sat in the passenger seat because sitting in the back would have been too obvious.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Somewhere private."
"Kidnapping. Great."
He glanced at me. "You always did have a flair for the dramatic."
"You always did have a flair for disappearing."
The words hung between us, sharp and hot. He pulled into a lot overlooking the Han River. The city sparkled like a spilled jewelry box.
"I didn't disappear," he said quietly. "My company sent me to Japan for two years. No phone. No contact. When I came back, you were debuting. And you..." He exhaled. "You told the press we never dated."
"Because we couldn't have dated. We were idols. Trainees. There are contracts, Sun. NDAs. You know that." Before you search for the download link, let’s
"Yeah." He turned off the engine. "I also know you cried during our goodbye. I was standing behind a pillar. I saw everything."
My chest caved.
"Why didn't you say something?"
"Because I was a coward." He finally looked at me—really looked. "But I'm not anymore. So I'm going to ask you once. Do you want to try again? No secrets. No hiding. Just us."
The river reflected the moon. My heart reflected a thousand songs I’d never released.
"Drive," I whispered.
"Where?"
"Anywhere. Just... drive."
He smiled. And for the first time in three years, I let myself believe in encores.
