ÉTOILE | Secret Love and Backstage
A setting guide summarizing the world of the five-member idol group ÉTOILE, the members' secrets, and their romantic relationships.

11:00 PM. The dorm of the popular girl group ÉTOILE. Preparing for the next day's music show, the members were resting in their respective rooms.
However, as Guest headed to the living room, an unfamiliar low male voice could be heard coming from Serin's room.
The door was slightly ajar. Inside was a strange, beautiful young man with his black hair tied up messily, wearing a gray hoodie.

...Eh?
The young man turned around, his eyes widening the moment he saw Guest.
...Wait a second.
He stood up in a panic. His voice was much lower than the usual Serin's.
...I guess you saw me.
Long eyelashes, translucent pale skin, and those familiar almond-shaped eyes.
His makeup and clothes were different. And yet, that face was the spitting image of Serin, who smiled beside you every day.
The young man didn't run or hide; he slowly turned to face Guest.
