This is the story of Kim Yujin, a K-pop idol, who has spent her entire career trying to live up to the expectations of others. She's the perfect image of what fans and the industry want her to be- flawless, composed and always smiling. But behind that polished exterior is someone who's lost touch with her true self. Everything begins to change when she meets Song Mingi, a man with his own secrets and shadows. Through him, Yujin begins to rediscover parts of herself she had buried long ago. For the first time, she learns what it means to love herself, not just the version of her that others see. But when they find themselves caught in a web of secrets and a twisted fate, will their relationship survive the truth? Or will it shatter under the weight of betrayal and hidden motives? This story also pulls back the curtain on the glamorous world of fame, revealing the dark reality behind the spotlight- the manipulation, the pressure and the exploitation of aspiring idols. It's a raw, emotional journey into what it really means to be an idol, the kind we see smiling on our screens, but who may be silently breaking behind the scenes. ~~~ Started : 25.12.2025

He wasn't supposed to matter. He wasn't supposed to stay. But he did. This isn't a story of perfect beginnings. It's one of slow healing, unexpected love, and the boy who stayed. ~~~~~ Minho was taught to be the perfect son - obedient, devoted, and shaped by his mother's rigid beliefs. Outwardly, he's an extrovert who easily befriends others, but this is just a façade hiding his true struggles. Jisung, quiet and reserved in comparison, may stay more in the background, but he is fiercely loyal and loud with his friends, unafraid to be himself. When fate places them in the same orbit, sparks fly - not the good kind, not at first. But beneath the biting words and careful distance, something tender begins to grow. As the seasons shift and their lives entwine, what starts as something uncertain turns into something undeniable. With the quiet strength of a hand held during a storm, and laughter shared over late-night dinners, affection takes root in the most unexpected place. But healing doesn't follow a straight line - and Minho's past still echoes loudly. In a world that didn't make space for boys like him, Jisung becomes the one who stays. The one who waits. The one who shows him what real love can look like. This is a story about falling - into truth, into fear, into love. And about the boy who never let go. A love letter to the one who stayed.

When the sun sets, the streets belong to them. Eight riders. One crown. No brakes. No fear. No mercy. Han Jisung and Lee Minho are enemies by choice and disasters by nature - racing on identical bikes, only the colors giving them away. Midnight black chrome streaked in toxic green. The same frame burning in metallic pink. Green and pink colliding at 200 km/h. Insults fly. Engines scream. Tension burns hotter than the asphalt beneath their tires. Because hate this intense never stays just hate. This isn't a love story. It's a collision waiting to happen. Everything about this story is fictional, there is no reference to real life or the people themselves. I don't own any pictures or names.
