The Anti-Fan and the Idol, an all-new spicy, must-read My Summer In Seoul novella from New York Times best selling author Rachel Van Dyken 1,001 Dark Nights, is available now!
Make it or break it…
Or maybe just break them?
Ai-Ri has been training under YK Management in Korea for two years without any results. She doesn’t fit the typical mold for a successful K-POP idol image, literally down to her blood type. She has six more months before college entrance exams which means she only has six months to make it as an idol before her dreams are crushed.
Things take a turn when two of the most famous male idols break away from their group and decide to form their own co-ed group, a rarity.
And wonder of all wonders, they need one more girl.
It would be the perfect opportunity, except she hates them.
They are arrogant, entitled, rich little snobs who want the world to worship the ground they walk on. To make matters worse, the only reason they came to her was because they are desperate, which means she needs to prove herself even more.
Tempers and personalities collide when she’s forced to either accept the position or give up on her dream.
But what happens when you suddenly go from anti-fan and enemy number one to stuck in a love triangle between two boys you were born to hate but are somehow falling in love with? And will the group survive the heartbreak that follows when she finally makes her choice?
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

We both start to sing the chorus, and then she breaks apart from me and takes the higher harmony. It sounds how I imagined it would, and I want to keep going because it feels good being in here with her, so I motion for her to keep singing her part. She does it flawlessly. We hit the chorus again before it goes into my rap line. I get lost in the words. Music always has a way of distracting me. The chorus pops up again. Ah-Ri joins in and starts to dance a bit next to me. I smile and keep singing. We do four more takes, all of them perfect yet slightly different. By the time we finish the last one, I have so much adrenaline pumping through my system that I could record all day. She pulls off her headphones and holds up her hand. I make a fist and punch it lightly. Ah-Ri throws her head back and laughs. “I guess I deserved that.” “You really did.” I smirk, then hold up my other hand. “One last chance?” She sets her headphones on the stand, moves in front of me, and then slowly presses her palm against mine. Instinct takes over. My fingers slide into hers. Her smile falters as she stares at our joined hands. “Looks like our palms like a seriously long kiss.” “A lingering kiss,” I tease, licking my lips. “Lingering, huh?” Her eyes focus on my mouth. This is a bad idea, my brain screams. Do not fall for your bandmate, the very one you could hate later or have to see on tour every day. In the history of bad ideas, this would be the worst. Slowly, I pull my hand away from hers. It falls empty at my side. It doesn’t hurt, but it doesn’t feel good, either. It feels like she’s missing when she’s standing right in front of me. She stares down at her hand, then over at mine before slowly grabbing it again and pressing a kiss to my palm. Her lips burn a hole through my skin. They create a memory with zero effort, one I’ll never escape from unless someone chops off my hand. “You guys alive in there?” Haneul’s voice comes through the sound system. I jerk away from Ah-Ri, look through the glass, and leave the booth. It was a moment of temporary insanity, brought on by high emotions, close proximity, and touching. No more high-fives. No more palm kissing. Am I a toddler or something? I wipe my hands on my black sweats and casually run a hand through my hair as I walk toward Haneul. Jisoo is in the corner on her phone. Haneul smirks like he caught me making out. It was just our hands.
