When SM pairs Karina and Winter for a duo showcase during aespa's hiatus, two women who were once each other's closest person are forced to rebuild a working relationship across the wreckage of one they never properly ended. A story about the love we take for granted until it is lost, and the struggle to fight for it back. *More on AO3

Winter Kim has everything. Money, freedom, and a life with no rules. Parties, late nights, and reckless choices are all she knows, especially when it comes to avoiding the one person she hates most, her father. Karina Yu is nothing like her. Calm. Smart. Perfect. Raised to take over her family's empire, Karina has always lived with control and discipline. When she is sent to Beverly Hills to help the Kim family, the last person she expects to meet is Winter. The same chaotic girl she once knew as a child is now completely out of control. They clash instantly. Different worlds. Different minds. Different everything. As arguments grow, secrets unfold, and emotions run high, the line between hate and something else begins to blur. In a world of luxury, rebellion, and broken relationships, what happens when two opposites are forced into each other's lives?

Kim Minjeong's world is falling apart: her father's company is on the brink of bankruptcy, and the only way to save it is an arranged marriage to Yu Jimin - her childhood friend she hasn't seen in years. There's just one problem: Minjeong already has a boyfriend, Jeon Jungkook, and the idea of tying her life to someone she barely remembers makes her stomach twist. But Jimin? She's never forgotten Minjeong. In fact, she's spent every moment since they were kids obsessing over her - hoarding old photos, tracking her life from afar, and waiting for the day they'd be together. Now that the marriage is set, Jimin sees her chance to finally claim the woman she's loved in secret for so long... but will Minjeong ever be able to let go of her past, or will Jimin's obsession drive her away for good?

Kim Minjeong x Yu Jimin Kim Minjeong has everything people dream . A luxury penthouse. A billionaire wife. A black card with no spending limit. So why does she feel so damn lonely? Yu Jimin never looks at her. Never waits for her. Never asks if she's eaten. Never notices when she's gone. The problem? She married a woman who doesn't love her. She knows this. She stays anyway, because she loves her...
