(ON HOLD) ❝stop looking at me like that.❞ ❝like what?❞ park hyerin is a girl who seeks refuge in imperfection. messy notes, lyrics sprawled across pages, songs with no pattern. she thrives in spaces where her creativity is allowed to run loose. she spends her days scribbling words in margins, fingers pressing into the fretboard until they ache, until the numbness makes it easier to forget the weight of expectation. because even when she strums her battered guitar, there are always prying eyes, always someone watching with a disappointed stare. james is similar in his own way, though he leans on logic to keep himself steady. his carefree, overly friendly nature makes him seem like a complete idiot to most people, but it hides something quieter. he sits on beaches, hills, and rooftops, capturing the world with worn cameras, dressed in fashionable layers, lonelier than hyerin ever thought him to be. in the end, they share one thing above all else: their big dreams. ─────────────────────── ; high school au ୨ৎ james x oc © keiraiskira 2025

-----"𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 - 𝐢'𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮!" When Dream Academy aired, the world fell in love with Hiyori Kaneko- the quiet girl from Tokyo with a voice that felt like a promise. But behind the bright lights and cameras, there was someone the show never focused on: Zhao Yufan, better known as James, a Thai-Hong Kongese trainee from HYBE whose calm smile she could never quite forget. They were seventeen and eighteen - caught between dreams and reality - when friendship blurred into something softer, something they weren't supposed to feel. Two years later, Hiyori shines in KATSEYE. James stands on stage with CORTIS. Different continents. Different worlds. Because while the world speculates, Hiyori and James have been quietly keeping a secret written in every song, every glance, every late-night call across the ocean. james (CORTIS) x fem!idol!oc translations available - @njjrozz - spanish started - 26.10.25 finished - not yet jeez
