Some hearts never stop singing the same song.
Audrey doesn’t believe in fairytales—especially not the kind where a long-lost pen pal grows up to become a rockstar... and forgets her.

Years later, she’s grounded, thriving in a promising career, and guarding a heart that’s learned not to hope. But when fate throws Drew—now a global sensation and the ghost of her teenage years—back into her life as her new neighbor, everything she thought she'd buried begins to rise.

He’s still magnetic. Still infuriating.
Still the boy who used to call her after every show.

And he remembers everything.

What begins as a cautious reconnection spirals into a slow-burning storm of music, memories, and feelings they never quite had the courage to explore. But Drew’s past is darker than she imagined, and Audrey’s walls are higher than ever.

Can a rockstar with a broken rhythm and a girl who learned to dance alone find harmony again?

Or is it all just… make believe?

Make-believe with my Rockstar

The days were flying by too fast. I was soaking in every second — just not fully present. My time was swallowed up by long calls to the embassy, emails lost in translation, and the endless back-and-forth over Ian’s paperwork. The stress had woven itself into my spine. 


Drew, meanwhile, kept my parents busy — taking them out, showing them around, wining and dining them. He even brought them to the studio, wanting them to see his world up close. I think he believed they’d feel more at ease if they understood the rhythm of our lives here. And maybe he was right.
