Two dancers. One stage. A rhythm they can't escape. Winter and Karina have always moved in sync-on stage, in practice, in the quiet moments no one sees. But beneath the flawless routines lies a tension neither dares to name: jealousy, longing, and feelings that grow with every shared step. Late-night rehearsals stretch into early mornings, every glance lingers a little too long, and every touch leaves them both breathless. They try to ignore it, to focus on perfection, but the bond between them is undeniable. Every misstep, every heartbeat, brings them closer to a truth they've been too afraid to speak. Can they find the courage to cross the line from friends and partners to something more or will the unspoken pull between them tear their rhythm apart ?

A Winrina AU wherein Karina Yu, the fierce and headstrong heiress of the Serenity Hotel, is forced into a marriage of convenience with Winter Kim - a composed, enigmatic woman sent by Karina's grandmother to save their crumbling empire. Cold glances and sharp words begin to melt into unspoken glimmers of understanding as Winter teaches Karina how to manage the business... and slowly, how to feel again. But secrets from the past linger in every corridor - from jealous suitors to buried scars - and when betrayal and danger strike, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. In a world where love is the last thing allowed, will they find a way to choose each other? This AU is inspired by the manhwa Serena by Ina. Disclaimer: This is a creative fusion of my imagination, the manhwa's themes, and the help of AI to refine grammar, wording, and flow. It's written purely for fun. If anything feels off or problematic, I'll either revise or move it to drafts. Also this story will only contain 10 chapters and an Epilogue:)

Because sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories aren't about surviving the storm... but about choosing to stay when it finally ends.

I hope you guys enjoy reading this 'bizzare' story and I apologize in advance if I had disrespected anyone. If you have anything in mind, feel free to voice it out. Thanks. Happy reading. -yours sincerely, 𝘡𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴.

Karina Yoo has everything the world says she should want-fame, beauty, wealth, and the crown of being New York's most sought-after model. Yet beneath the lights and flawless magazine covers, she is suffocating in loneliness, her life reduced to a brand rather than a heart. On a business trip to Paris, fate introduces her to Winter Kim, a 21-year-old photographer with eyes that see past the gloss, past the perfection, and straight into the truth Karina hides. What begins as a contract-Winter hired as her personal photographer-ignites into something deeper, something dangerous: a love too powerful to stay in the shadows. From Parisian dawns at the Seine to rain-soaked nights in Milan, from the "almost kiss" at the Trevi Fountain to Karina's unforgettable public confession on stage, their story unfolds against the backdrop of fashion runways, flashing cameras, and a world divided by love and scandal. But beneath the chaos, there is intimacy: Quiet mornings over coffee, laughter spilling through their tiny apartment. Stolen dates in Seoul, subway rides that feel more luxurious than limousines. Nights spent building dreams side by side, until Winter's name shines across galleries, her photographs no longer just of Karina, but of a love that refuses to be hidden. When the world reacts-sometimes with venom, sometimes with hope-Karina must decide what matters more: the career she built from perfection or the imperfect, undeniable love she found through Winter's lens. Together, they defy the storm. Together, they inspire others-like Ningning and Giselle, a fan couple who find their own courage in Karina and Winter's love. And in the end, when Winter's photographs fill the walls of her first global exhibition, Karina sees herself not as the world's icon, but as one woman's truth. A love story that begins with a glance, survives scandal, and blossoms into forever. Tender, dramatic, intimate-Through Her Lens is not just about being seen, but about being known.
