To the world, they are SM Entertainment's golden duo. Y/n is a globally renowned solo artist and Hollywood actor, a charismatic superstar who conquered the industry at a young age. Yoo Jimin-known to millions as Karina, the untouchable center of aespa-is his ultimate grounding force. Since their grueling days as trainees in 2016, they have been inseparable. To the fans, the executives, and the media, their bond is the ultimate, unbreakable platonic friendship. But for eight years, Jimin has carried a devastating secret. She has been entirely, hopelessly in love with him since she was sixteen years old. Trapped in the agonizing role of the "reliable best friend," Jimin has spent her entire youth standing in his shadow. She smiles for the cameras when he is linked to beautiful actresses, offers her shoulder when the pressures of fame become too heavy, and silently bleeds out in the background, terrified that confessing her true feelings will destroy the most important relationship in her life. She is perfectly resolved to suffer in silence if it means she gets to keep him. To Y/n, completely oblivious to the war being fought right beside him, Jimin is simply his anchor. She is his safe harbor in an industry designed to tear people apart. He relies on her with a fierce, protective devotion that he fundamentally misunderstands, entirely blind to the fact that his casual affection is slowly breaking her heart. But the middle ground is a dangerous place to live. When a high-profile Hollywood PR stunt pushes Jimin to her absolute breaking point, she makes the desperate decision to pull away and save herself. As the distance between them grows and the foundation of his life begins to crack, the oblivious golden boy is finally forced to open his eyes. And when he does, a decade of carefully constructed lies threatens to unravel completely. ***THIS STORY IS PROOFREAD AND GRAMMARLY CORRECTED BY AI*** ***BUT ALL IDEAS AND BASE TEXT IS MADE BY HUMAN BRAINS LOL***

A billionaire that had fallen for an idol TWICE SANA

At seventeen, the system decided he wasn't good enough. After three brutal years as a trainee at JYP Entertainment, Y/N packed his bags, flew back to Chicago, and spent the next decade pretending Seoul never happened. He rebuilt his life from the ground up, becoming one of the industry's most respected vocal producers. He made his peace with the past. He just never went back to the company that broke his heart. Until now. Hired as a vocal consultant for TWICE's highly anticipated new album, Y/N returns to a brand-new JYP headquarters. He prepares himself for the ghosts of his past, only to find the old building where he suffered has been demolished. The cramped hallways, the terrifying evaluations, the midnight piano sessions-all gone. The only thing that remains from his trainee days is the woman standing on the other side of the vocal booth glass: Park Jihyo. For ten years, they have lived on opposite sides of an ocean. She is the titan who survived the machine to lead the nation's biggest girl group; he is the boy who left without saying goodbye. But as professional boundaries begin to blur in the quiet intimacy of the recording studio, Y/N is forced to confront the gap between the girl he left behind and the woman she has become. Refrain is a slow-burn story about the weight of lost time, the silence we leave behind, and what happens when two people who survived the exact same system finally stop running.

Who would've thought that the second option man would come face to face with Korea's #1 idol group? All his life, Y/N L/N had always been second best. Not only was he an option and back-up, he always had the short end of the straw. Having lost a lot in his life, he clings to nothing but his passion for live on... But even that passion is fading slowly as life continues to leave him in the dust. But after engaging in a fateful accident, Y/N's life would change. The question remains: For better? or for worse?

After a successful four-year college football career, Y/N has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make his childhood dream come true: playing in the NFL. But that all changes fast when physical tests reveal a severe blood clot issue in one of his legs, ultimately forcing Y/N into medically retiring right before the NFL draft. With his childhood dream gone, he now has to rely on his business degree, something he honestly never thought he'd use. Little does he know, that degree will take him further than he ever imagined-both literally and figuratively.
