Color Symbolism:
Past 🟦 (Blue): Represented the Liberté of the French Tricolore—natural serenity intertwined with a deep, artistic melancholy.
Present ⬛ (Black): Embraced in the wake of heartbreak to mirror his surname. Symbolizes sophistication, power, emotional isolation, and the quiet death of his former self.

Role: A reckless street dancer who later finds explosive fame as a singer and dancer in New York City —after abruptly abandoning Hugo.

Color Symbolism:

Present ⬜ (White): Adopted post-breakup to align with his surname. While it touches upon the Égalité of the Tricolore and the sacred Fleur-de-lis, it carries a darker double meaning of absolute emptiness, cold isolation, and a pristine facade masking his immense guilt.
Their story is woven with the vivid threads of the French flag—Bleu, Blanc, Rouge—and the sacred symbolism of the fleur-de-lis. What began as an era of absolute freedom and burning passion slowly fractured into bitter melancholy and hollow emptiness, until fate pulled them back together under the very same Parisian sky.

PROLOGUE
They say Paris does not change, but it does. It bleeds, it fractures, and it re-writes its own melodies in the dark.
Six years ago, the city was painted in a wild, lawless spectrum of blue and red. Back then, Choi Soobin was just Hugo Black, a young café pianist whose fingers coaxed raw, untamed liberté from the ivory keys. His soul was a deep, artistic blue—a serene sky touched by a heavy, beautiful melancholy.
And back then, Choi Yeonjun was just Alexis White, a reckless street dancer spinning across the cobblestones, wrapped in the fierce, burning red of absolute passion. To any spectator, they were celestial opposites destined to collide: a son of Apollo commanding the keys, and a daughter of Artemis manipulating the gravity of the streets. Two missing puzzle pieces mapping out a beautiful beat under a kind, spring sky, growing their heat under a warm summer sky.
They were too young, too brilliant, and entirely too reckless.
When their world shattered that autumn, the vibrant blue and fierce red did not just fade—they tore apart. Alexis vanished into the blinding neon haze of New York City, leaving behind a trail of cutting, cruel lies that shattered Hugo's devotion in a single afternoon. In his wake, Hugo’s serene blue turned into an absolute, unyielding black. He traded his café apron for the tailored armor of a high-end music executive, burying his heartbreak beneath a facade of sophisticated power, ruthless authority, and silent emotional isolation.
Across the ocean, Alexis built his own pristine fortress. Plastered on towering billboards as a global superstar, he wrapped himself in a cold, sterile white. It was the color of a white flag of surrender; a pristine facade masking an ocean of immense guilt, deep sorrow, and invisible scars. The magical purple world they had created together was gone, reduced to a numbing, monochromatic gray.
Now, the universe is shifting.
Six years of aching silence have passed, but the strings of fate refuse to snap. As the bitter winter chill settles over the city, the phantom scent of fleur-de-lis begins to bleed back into the air. A strange, heavy sense of déjà vu is settling over them both, dragging their heels back toward the very same Parisian sky.
The trap is set. The music is waiting. But as their paths cross once more, only one question remains: will they finally heal each other's broken hearts, or will they destroy whatever is left?
