He lives in the spotlight. She only feels safe behind the lens. "But sometimes, the clearest pictures are the ones no one was meant to capture." Jungkook has spent years smiling for cameras, singing for sold-out crowds, and burying a heartbreak no one else can see. Behind the flashbulbs and headlines, he's still haunted by the woman he never truly let go of. Y/N was never meant to be part of his world. A quiet photographer with her own invisible bruises, she's there to dog-sit, stay out of the way, and keep her heart in check. But it's impossible to stay invisible when he looks at her like she's the first honest thing he's seen in years. And it's even harder not to fall - for a man who has no heart left to give. She fights the pull because she knows this love can only end in heartbreak. She tries to protect what's left of herself, even as her own defenses crumble. But when he looks at her with desperate need - in ways no one else ever sees - she knows there's no turning back. Not now. Because sometimes, the hardest thing isn't to let go - but to hold on, even when it means risking a heartbreak she's certain will come. "Because sometimes, the sharpest focus comes from broken lenses - and the most honest pictures are taken through tears." *** Book 2 of the True Love series ***

Step into a world of power, silence and longing-where destiny writes its own story.
