The Yu family built an empire on power, wealth, and perfectly calculated deals. Yu Karina is no exception-sharp, relentless, and always in control. To secure their inheritance, all she needs is one final piece to fall into place: Kim Duho's firstborn daughter agreeing to marry her brother. Winter, the ever-elusive heiress, is anything but easy to persuade. She sees through Karina's every move, meets her sharp wit with an even sharper tongue, and makes it painfully clear-she has no interest in being part of the Yu family's schemes. But Karina doesn't accept losses. She negotiates. Manipulates. Wins. And Winter is just another deal waiting to be closed. At least, that's what she tells herself. As secrets surface and time runs out, Karina finds herself caught in a dangerous game-one where the lines between manipulation and genuine desire begin to blur, and falling for Winter might cost her more than she's willing to give.

Karina is a superstar who thrives on control, precision, and a flawless routine. But when her carefully curated world is flipped upside down after a last-minute cancellation, she's forced into a situation she swore she'd never tolerate-a partnership. Winter is everything Karina isn't: loud, unpredictable, and a constant source of irritation. From the moment they collide outside the CEO's office, it's clear Winter's sunshine personality is about to make Karina's life a living hell. With the biggest performance of the year on the line, Karina has no choice but to work with the chaos personified that is Winter. Sparks fly-on stage and behind the scenes-but are they sparks of passion or the first sign of disaster? 💔 Grumpy x Sunshine dynamic 🎤 K-pop stardom, tension, and unexpected chemistry ✨ A slow-burn romance set against the glitz of fame #1 - Winter #1- stage #2- My

FIRST BOOK ***(CONVERTED)*** Karina Yu hated Winter Kim, plain and simple. Of course, who could blame her? Winter had been the one who read her private texts in front of the whole cafeteria, forcing her out of the closet. Karina left for New York with her three best friends the day she graduated, thinking she had escaped Winter. The only problem is, Winter is back. And different. Completely different. Not the kind of 'different' you'd expect, either.

"I need you to be my girlfriend." Internet noob Minjeong unexpectedly finds herself dating the nation's biggest pride, singer-songwriter Yu Jimin. It's funny how all you need to craft a love story is a convenience store, a non-fan and a loser. Rated M for vulgar language. © vertebraespa , 2024 .

Minjeong liked quiet. She wasn't one to start conversations with people she didn't know, generally on the reserved side. However, when the barista of a café she frequented started a conversation with her, it struck her as odd how she was so willing to continue that conversation. Minjeong had no idea how her life was about to completely turn upside down as she struggles to understand why the barista could never leave her mind.

Chaos ensues when Minjeong offers to manage Karina's social media to win her father's approval. Karina wants no part of it, but Minjeong is determined to succeed. Can two opposites fit together to create something whole in a world of fame, rebellion, and fractured dreams? #1- SM #2- Trending #1- My
