Yoon Harin has spent years learning to catch the second before-the breath before an actor breaks, the glance before someone looks away, the tiny unguarded moment before performance takes over. It's what makes her a brilliant director. It's also why she should have noticed sooner. She has known Lee Seokmin since they were teenagers, back when he was simply one of her brother's members and she was simply Jeonghan's little sister. Somewhere between growing up, building separate careers, and years of almost-nothings, familiarity begins to shift into something neither of them knows how to name. But in an industry where every look can become a headline, falling in love is only the beginning. Because sometimes the most important moment isn't the kiss, the confession, or the choice that changes everything. It's the second before-when you still have time to look away.

"I hope you're ready to share the crown with me, Mr. Choi." Y/n met his gaze, a subtle smile playing on her lips. Seungcheol's gaze held hers with a heated intensity. "I'm more than ready.

Status- COMPLETED Everyone knows Lee Seokmin. The smile. The laughter. The idol loved by millions. Kang Aerum knows a different version of him. One she has hated for eight years. When an award-winning documentary producer is assigned to film Seventeen's biggest project yet, walking away isn't an option. Neither is avoiding the one member she swore she'd never stand in the same room with again. He greets everyone with the same warm smile. She never smiles back. As cameras begin to capture the lives hidden behind sold-out concerts and perfect smiles, the line between truth and perception begins to blur. Some stories are far more dangerous than the rumors that started them, and not every villain is guilty. After all... How do you forgive someone who doesn't even know they hurt you?

After leaving behind the life that hurt her, she starts over alone. Balancing freelance work with late shifts at a quiet cafe, keeping her world small and manageable. Then she meets him, a man as gentle as he is difficult to understand. What begins as coincidence slowly becomes comfort, and before she realizes it, he has slipped into every lonely corner of her life. But when two lonely people begin finding a home in each other, what happens when love arrives at the wrong time? a jeon wonwoo x reader ff ❗️DISCLAIMER❗️ I fully wrote this on my own and did not take any inspiration or copied anyone else's work therefore if you do spot any similarities with other stories then it was not my intention.

Amira, a twenty three year old introvert and a doctor, takes a trip oversees to watch her favourite boy group Seventeen perform live. An unfortunately turn of events at the concert force her to extend her trip a little more than a week. P.S The names I've used are not based on the real idols. It's all just fiction and I don't mean to harm anybody's feelings. All of the characters playing a role in this story are all my favourites and I've only used their names for fictional purposes. No part of this novel is based on real events.
