Summary

"Just give me ten minutes. In ten minutes, you'll be mine." In the neon-drenched, flip-phone era of 2003 Seoul, Cha Yerin is the reigning solo queen of K-pop—bold, flirty, and fiercely commanding on stage. But behind her signature red lipstick, she is suffocating under a predatory contract and a career-destroying media scandal engineered by her toxic ex. Enter Jang Rayeon. A cynical underground producer who despises manufactured idols, he dismisses Yerin as a shallow industry puppet. To survive the press, they strike a desperate deal: a fake-dating contract. She needs his gritty credibility to save her reputation; he needs her star power to save his independent label. They only have to fool the paparazzi and millions of obsessive fans. But as secret, late-night studio sessions bleed into rain-slicked alleyways, the lines between performance and reality blur. Rayeon discovers the raw, vulnerable woman behind the flawless mask, and Yerin finds the only man immune to her pop-star persona. The countdown is on. It only takes ten minutes to sell an illusion to the world—but can a manufactured lie survive the terrifying gravity of a real, slow-burning love?

🌸 Author’s Note 🌸

🌸 Author’s Note 🌸

Hey everyone, welcome to Just 10 Minutes! 🎧✨

I am incredibly excited to share this story with you.

This novel is a massive love letter to the early 2000s—the vibrant, nostalgic era of flip phones, cassette tapes, internet cafés, oversized baggy denim, and the thrilling, raw energy of first-generation K-pop.


Inspired by the bold, confident, and flirty vibe of Lee Hyori's legendary anthem "10 Minutes," this story dives deep into the contrast between the blinding, manufactured lights of the mainstream idol world and the gritty, uncompromising pulse of the underground music scene.


Get ready for a slow-burning, fake-dating romance filled with mutual pining, heavy romantic tension, and characters who will fiercely protect each other when the world turns its back on them.


I promise you lots of heart-fluttering moments, deep emotional growth, a strong found-family dynamic, and a hard-earned happy ending!
