The encore stage was chaos in the best way. ASAP by Axie Oh EPUB PDF
Confetti cannons exploded. The crowd’s light sticks moved like a synchronized galaxy. My group, NEON, just won our seventh trophy for "Heartbeat," and our leader, Mina, was crying glittery tears into her microphone.
I should have been celebrating. Instead, I was calculating the exact route from the stage door to Gate 3.
Seventeen minutes if I ran. Twelve if I bribed a security guard.
"Yah, Sori." Jihyun, our main dancer, elbowed me. "You’re smiling like a serial killer. What’s your deal?"
"Nothing. Post-win adrenaline."
She squinted. "You only get that face when you’re lying or when you’re about to do something stupid."
Both, I thought.
The song ended. We bowed. I grabbed my in-ear monitors and bolted. She’s a K-pop idol
By the time I hit the parking garage, my heels were murder weapons. Gate 3 was empty except for a black van with tinted windows and a boy leaning against the hood.
Sun.
He looked the same, but different. Taller. Broader. The soft curve of his jaw had sharpened into something dangerous. His hair was no longer the bleached-blond of our trainee days—it was dark now, falling over his eyes like a secret.
In his hands: peonies.
"You’re late," he said.
"You’re blocking my exit." I crossed my arms. "Move."
"I will. In a second." He stepped closer. The scent of his cologne—cedar and something electric—made my throat tight. "First, I need you to hear me out."
"I don’t owe you a single second."
"No." His voice dropped. "But I owe you three years of apologies. So get in the van, Sori. Or I’ll stand here and yell them until security drags us both to YouTube."
I looked at his face. The boy who broke my heart. The boy I never stopped writing songs about.
"Fine," I said. "But if this is a prank, I’m keying your van."
He smiled. And just like that, I was seventeen again—falling for him in a practice room at 2 a.m., both of us too tired to remember why we were supposed to be rivals.
Readers expecting a fluffy rom-com might be surprised by the depth of ASAP. While the romance is a driving force, the heart of the novel is Sori’s journey through grief.
Oh masterfully contrasts the artificial brightness of the K-Pop world—the makeup, the cameras, the choreography—with Sori’s internal darkness. The industry demands perfection and happiness, but Sori is struggling to simply feel okay. The book poses a compelling question: Can you manufacture a perfect pop star persona while your inner self is falling apart?
The "training" sections are particularly gripping. Oh, who is Korean-American, writes with an authenticity that highlights the grueling nature of the idol system. It is not glamorous; it is a survival of the fittest involving starvation diets, sleepless nights, and constant scrutiny. Sori’s struggle isn't just about winning Miro’s heart; it is about surviving a system that tries to strip away her individuality.
