Y/N thought he was finally getting the life he always wanted when he met Yu Jimin-the girl behind aespa's Karina. What begins as an unexpected friendship slowly becomes a love filled with quiet moments, promises, and dreams of tomorrow. But some memories are more fragile than others. And Y/N is about to remember why.

Y/N had once been the kind of person who filled every room he walked into. Energetic, competitive, loud when he was comfortable, and always moving, he seemed almost impossible to slow down. But life in the entertainment industry changed him. After years of criticism, hate, and having every little part of his personality judged, Y/N learned to become quieter. More careful. More mature than anyone his age expected him to be. Now, at twenty-one, he is one of the newest members of SM Entertainment's rising boy group, NOVA9. On camera, he's confident, handsome, and effortlessly charismatic. Off camera, he keeps most of himself behind a carefully built wall. Then there's Giselle. To the world, she's the charismatic member of aespa. To the people closest to her, she's Aeri. When aespa and NOVA9 begin crossing paths, Aeri finds herself drawn to the quiet rookie who seems completely different from the person his members describe from years ago. She doesn't try to change him. She doesn't try to bring back who he used to be. But somehow, every once in a while, she makes him laugh a little harder, smile a little more genuinely, or forget for a moment that he's supposed to be guarded. As their friendship grows through late-night conversations, shared meals, rehearsals, music, and the chaos of idol life, Y/N and Aeri slowly become the people each other can be when the cameras finally turn away. Because everyone knows Giselle. Everyone knows Y/N. But only a few people ever get to know Aeri and the person behind his smile.

You appeared out of nowhere and make me feel like I am the happiest. You made me fall, I let you.... But that was the stupidest thing I've ever done because now that I am under your spell, I can't stay away from you. I can't let you go. I'm going crazy because..... I am already married And you are.... My mistress. (Top NINGNING)

I have always dreamed of experiencing a passionate and intense love, the kind of love that only happens in movies. And, to be honest, I started to become disillusioned with love. I began to doubt its existence, thinking that maybe this romantic notion is nothing more than fiction. But then, just when everything seemed empty and meaningless, someone comes into your life who fills every space, every corner of your heart and soul... student / teacher- relationship This is an adapted story and the original writer is @dcfanfic21 So all rights reserved to the rightful owner

Wang Ningning has it all-beauty, fame, and a promising career as one of the industry's rising stars. But behind the flashing lights lies a truth she hides from the world: she's trapped in a toxic relationship, longing for freedom she can't seem to reach. When she lands a lead role in a drama backed by Park Sunghoon-now a powerful CEO and the quiet high school senior she used to cling to despite his cold indifference-their lives collide in ways neither expected. He's colder than she remembers, guarded and emotionally distant. She's wounded but hiding it behind her dazzling smile. As the cameras roll, their pasts begin to resurface, forcing them to confront old memories, buried pain, and feelings that never truly disappeared. But taking a chance means risking everything. Will Ningning find the courage to rewrite her story? And can Sunghoon open his heart before it's too late?

Yu Karina has everything the world believes she should want-power, wealth, and a flawless image as the daughter of YY Entertainment's ruthless CEO. But behind closed doors, she lives with scars carved by the man who calls himself her father, and a hollow engagement to a man she can never love. Lee Heeseung has nothing but endless jobs and a small house he shares with his family. He works, he endures, and he survives-until one rainy night, a small act of kindness places him under the gaze of a woman whose world is nothing like his. To Karina, he is warmth in a life of coldness. To Heeseung, she is danger wrapped in beauty. And when craving turns to obsession, desire becomes deadly.

Heeseung raced across Europe before he was even twenty. He was fast, free and untouchable. Karina was a trauma surgeon in Seoul. She was cold, composed, and unreachable. Bound by a marriage they never wanted, they lived on separate tracks. No love, no questions and absolutely no expectations. They were never meant to collide. But fate didn't ask. This is a story about two people who were tamed, hopes dashed, and the reality that they weren't lovers, just names tied together by something deeper than affection.

Every morning for eleven years, Ninomae Y/N waited outside the same house. Every morning, Aeri was late. They walked to school together, shared dreams about the future, and promised that no matter where life took them, they would never forget each other. Then she left Japan to become a trainee in Korea. Seven years later, Aeri is known around the world as Giselle, a member of aespa. Y/N has built a completely different life of his own. By day, he is an automotive engineer. By night, he is Phantom-the undefeated driver behind Japan's most legendary white Mazda RX-7. During aespa's world tour, an unexpected stop at one of Japan's largest car meets brings their worlds crashing together. She recognizes him immediately. He only sees one of the world's biggest idols. After all... How could Giselle possibly be the same girl who used to walk beside him every morning? Some promises don't fade with time. They simply wait for the right road to bring two people home.

Eight years ago, two children made a promise on the rooftop of a quiet apartment building. If we ever get separated... we'll become friends again. Life had other plans. After moving overseas as a child, Y/N returns to Seoul with a university degree, empty savings, and no luck finding work. Every rejection makes him wonder if coming back was the right decision. One evening, while walking home beneath the city lights, he glances up at a massive billboard featuring aespa's leader, Karina. For just a moment... Her face feels familiar. A forgotten rooftop. A child's laughter. A promise he can't remember making. He dismisses it as déjà vu. Karina never forgot him. The only problem is... He no longer remembers her. As fate slowly brings their lives together again, long-buried memories begin to surface, revealing a childhood neither of them truly left behind. Sometimes the heart remembers long before the mind does.

"We'll always be together... right?"
