❝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 (now @keonsire) 2025

꩜｡ ────୨ৎ──── 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ❝ Seonwoo Aera never planned on colliding with the leader of the world's fastest-rising boy group (CORTIS). She's just a 16-year-old arts student - awkward, quiet, and desperate to stay invisible in a city that moves too fast for her. But fate (and maybe some bad timing) throws her straight into the orbit of Martin Edwards, the perfectionist leader of CORTIS, a Canadian-Korean idol who hides his restless ambition behind flawless performances. To Martin, Aera is a distraction he shouldn't want but can't seem to let go of. To Aera, Martin is a hurricane-dangerous, dazzling, impossible to ignore. As rehearsals, scandals, and stolen late-night moments pull them closer, they discover that they're each other's mirror: his impatience against her hesitation, his hunger for respect against her fear of being seen. But being tied to an idol isn't just romance - it's survival. Secrets slip through cracks, fans speculate, and the spotlight burns brighter every day. Between loyalty to his members, her fragile sense of belonging, and the unforgiving world of the industry, Martin and Aera will have to ask themselves: how much of themselves are they willing to risk - for each other, and for the truth? And perhaps, it's a "high risk, high reward" of holding onto one another, even if it means broken hearts. ❞ ⋆˙⟡. . . ✏️ ᯓ ! <★ ◟♯ . / iDol x ArtiSt . ! © Riarchives 2025
