XOXO

Jenny has always chosen discipline over distraction. Years of relentless practice have made her a gifted, classically trained cellist, and left little room for anything else. But everything changes the night she meets Jaewoo: magnetic, guarded, and impossible to forget. What begins as a fleeting adventure through Los Angeles turns into a connection she can’t quite shake, even after he returns to South Korea.

When life unexpectedly takes Jenny to Seoul—where she enrolls in a prestigious arts academy and helps care for her grandmother—she’s stunned to find Jaewoo again, no longer just a memory but part of her everyday world. Only now there’s a complication: he’s not just a fellow student, but a member of one of the world’s biggest K-pop groups, bound by strict rules that forbid dating.

As their bond deepens, the stakes become impossible to ignore. For Jenny, love could threaten her future at the school she’s worked so hard to reach. For Jaewoo, it could put his entire career at risk. Caught between ambition and emotion, Jenny must decide how far she’s willing to go and what she’s willing to lose for a chance at something real.

XOXO by Axie Oh is a heartfelt story about passion, sacrifice, and the delicate balance between chasing dreams and following your heart.
