A nostalgic and heartwarming journey through the eyes of Aeri (Giselle), exploring the deeply personal bond between a global icon and the person who has been her silent anchor.

A boy with a hidden talent for singing suddenly finds himself chasing the dream of becoming an idol. Fame, success, and endless opportunities await him-but none of them compare to the day he meets Huh Yunjin. As their paths intertwine, he begins to realize that sometimes destiny has a voice of its own. After all, everything changed... Till I Met You.

A girl, blinded at a young age, and a man ostracized by the public. Will the two be able to kindle a bond? Or will they be pushed further into the depths of loneliness. Based on the movie, Waiting in the Dark.

A twenty two year old that wasn't born but raised in South Korea from young has earned his first call up for the national team and its to the world cup...can he help them get far into the tournament.

Some threats are meant to scare people. Others are meant to send a message. After a series of anonymous bomb threats begin targeting major K-pop events across South Korea, the government quietly launches a covert operation to prevent public panic before the industry collapses into fear. Y/N, a bomb disposal specialist known for his cold precision and silence under pressure, is assigned undercover inside SM Entertainment as a technical risk consultant. His mission is simple: protect aespa, identify the source of the threats, and stop the next attack before thousands die. But inside the exhausting cycle of rehearsals, sold-out arenas, flashing cameras, and sleepless nights, the operation becomes far more complicated than expected. Especially when Karina starts noticing things no one else does. The way he memorizes exits before entering rooms. The way he watches crowds instead of performances. The way he never looks relieved after surviving. And somewhere between near-misses, late-night rehearsals, and the quiet moments neither of them were supposed to keep, the distance between protector and protected slowly begins to disappear. As the threats grow closer to becoming real attacks, the line between duty and attachment begins to blur. And while Seoul prepares for its biggest year-end festival, someone behind the scenes seems determined to turn every step of the investigation into a countdown. In a world built on performance, survival might be the most dangerous role of all.

Y/N: A talented idol and producer/lyricist, striving to make a name for himself in the grueling world of K-pop. When a chance encounter with aespa's leader, Karina, sparks an unexpected connection, his heart-and career-are set on a whirlwind of emotions. Karina: The epitome of perfection-the "it girl" and AI goddess of SM and aespa. Driven, ambitious, and always at the top of her game, she never lets anyone see her vulnerabilities... until Y/N enters her life, turning her world upside down. Two stars from different worlds. Two hearts on a collision course. Will their connection survive the chaos of the idol industry, or will the pressures of fame tear them apart? New to writing but please give me constructive criticism! Thank you!

After losing his dream in heartbreaking fashion, he gets one more chance to fulfill a different one. On the way he meets someone, who will give him peace, solidarity, and support in ways that don't go unnoticed.

He hasn't made music in years. She's a former idol trying to find her place in the world. Both of them are lost in their own ways, until they meet. Between late-night songs, long texts, and walks along the Han River, they start to rediscover themselves through each other. But as their paths forward begin to take shape, they realize that navigating the pressures of their careers, and growing up along the way, might be harder than either of them expected. ! Hi this is my first story ever. It'll be a fluff story about a male reader (but I try to keep it as gender neutral as possible so hypothetically it could be a female reader!) and a blooming romance with Kim Chaewon. It will probably be a slow burn ish story without too much drama. More slice of life style :) Hope you enjoy! - - - - - Peaks: #1 Chaewon #1 KimChaewon #47 sliceoflife #55 lesserafim #121 kpop

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***
