When two small-scale dance studios in the heart of Seoul are threatened to be shut down, the owners and their dancers are forced to collaborate and produce a desperate, last-minute showcase in hopes to raise funds and let their voices of opposition be heard to the public. The demolition of the two studios is set for June, six months from now. The entire get up seems possible, almost likely, to succeed, but… unfortunately, there’s just one problem, a tad issue that interferes with the probability for success. The dancers do not, under any circumstances, like each other; in fact, they practically detest the others’ existence (or at least it seems like they do). Ten people that prefer the upbeat style of hip hop, krump, and RnB and ten others that prefer the elegant style of contemporary, ballet, and even… pole dancing. The hip hoppers are extremely rude, and the ballerinas are annoyingly uptight. Will the two groups be able to put aside their differences and work together in order to save their homes? Or will their differences blind them, consequently causing the destruction of their dance studios as well their dreams?

Read on to see how bright their passions shine in the city lights.

This is the first book of my In The City Lights series. Each book will have the same, overall characters, but with different stories in each.

This is the story of Im Jinah & Kim Hanbin.
