About This Place is Home:

In this sequel to the critically acclaimed This Place is Magic, holding on to one another might mean letting go of dreams old and new.

One missed flight was enough to change everything for Eunjae. After almost a decade in the K-pop industry, he's won the chance to pursue happiness and chart a different course. Unfortunately, it won't be easy. At every turn, he's reminded that idols are supposed to belong to their fans, their agency, their fellow members. Hiding his relationship with Jiyeon feels nonnegotiable. And with Apollo on the verge of signing a new contract, Eunjae's hard-won choice carries more weight than ever.

Jiyeon has been focused on the same goal since she was only eight years old: opening her own salon. Falling for Eunjae isn't the first detour she's ever taken along the way; she didn't expect to be back at Wanna Waffle full time, either. Being with him could drag her back into the harsh glare of the spotlight, threatening the quieter life she's chosen and the dream she's been chasing for so long. Still, she’s determined to make it work.

There's no question that what they have is worth the risk. But when an unexpected development shoves Eunjae and Jiyeon in front of the cameras, past traumas collide with the uncertainties of the future. Pretending they're not in love becomes a performance played out for a global audience. And as paths begin to diverge, Apollo must decide which direction to take, together and apart.

Step through the orange door one more time as award-winning author Irene Te brings this duology to a close, examining the price of fame, the complexities of family, and the resilience of love. Luminous and heartfelt, it's the perfect read for K-pop fans, K-drama enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever longed for a place that feels like home.
