Park Da Yi debuted with such astonishing beauty that she was crowned the most beautiful face of the fifth generation. The youngest and most delicate flower in the garden, Park Da Yi was adored by the public from the moment she debuted.
"She's so ridiculously adorable, I can't stand it."
"It's not that easy to steal my heart... Oh no, it's Da Yi!"
"Trying to trick me into having your babies with that move won't work. TT"
Not only did her four older groupmates dote on her and indulge her every whim, but the older girls in other groups adored her too. One call of "Unnie" and every female idol in the company would turn around.
Everyone marveled at the beautiful bond between the female idols, but nobody noticed how the male idols in the company were beginning to look at Park Da Yi strangely.
The male idols at Hat Company had recently been cursed. A voice in their heads kept ordering them to complete all kinds of bizarre tasks, and failure meant punishment.
[Get Park Da Yi to say "I love you" aloud within half an hour, or your voice will crack.]
[Receive one hundred love messages from Park Da Yi within a day, or you'll go bankrupt.]
[Get a kiss from Park Da Yi within a week, or you'll keep coughing up blood.]
[Become Park Da Yi's boyfriend within half a month, or your hair will keep falling out.]
This is an otome game. Every male lead player has to win over the world's only heroine. Park Da Yi, the heroine, knows nothing about any of it. She just thinks the male seniors at her company are getting stranger and stranger.
The top idol she considers a big brother suddenly starts acting like his brotherly affection has turned into something else. A famous male-male couple in the industry both pursue her at once. A distant senior who calls her nothing but a colleague drops to his knees and begs her for a kiss. Even her usually gentle and considerate boyfriend suddenly asks if she'd be willing to date someone else too.
As more and more male idols gather around Park Da Yi, fans can't help shouting, "What the hell are you men trying to do?"
The male idols: We want our lives, and we want Da Yi too.
