Yuna spent her entire life being invisible. Adopted only to protect her family's perfect image, she grew up in a house that never truly accepted her. While her sister, Sera, was loved and admired, Yuna learned to stay quiet, hide her pain, and survive the cruelty behind closed doors. Everything changes the night Jake and his family arrive with a marriage proposal. Jake is cold, powerful, and impossible to read - the young CEO of his father's company who never lets emotions control him. Though the marriage was never his decision, the more he notices the quiet girl hidden beneath the perfect family, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth behind her silence. In a world built on status, secrets, and appearances, Yuna is chosen for the first time in her life. But being chosen comes with a price.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 - they've been enemies since high school, but fate has collided their worlds again. She's a top model: ambitious, untouchable, ruthless. He's an F1 star: unbeatable on the track, but haunted by panic attacks and past mistakes. One month. One deal. He'll be her fake boyfriend to protect her image. She'll help him survive the panic that has ruled his life. A dangerous attraction ignites-one that could destroy their carefully built careers, their reputations, and everything they've fought for. ✦ "𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚?"she hissed, throwing her hands up."𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆?" His jaw tightened, eyes dark and unreadable. Then, almost violently, he closed the space between them. "𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰 𝒅𝒐! 𝑰 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐! 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒊𝒕!

Rage, desire, and something darker twisted inside her. She should have pushed him away. She should have left. But she didn't. He leaned dangerously close, voice low and fierce.

The familiar voice, the steady presence, a part of ENHYPEN that seemed impossible to separate from the group itself. Until everything changed. What follows is not a story about one goodbye. It is about the six who were left behind, the questions that never received answers, the things left unsaid, and the memories that refuse to become memories. Because sometimes, losing someone doesn't mean their story ends. Sometimes, their absence becomes the loudest thing in the room. "Six members. One missing piece. And an echo that refuses to fade." --- **DISCLAIMER** This story is a work of imagination. The only real-life event referenced in this story is Heeseung's departure from ENHYPEN. Everything else - including the events, circumstances, beliefs, interpretations, relationships, conversations, and storyline surrounding his departure and what follows after it - is entirely fictional and should not be taken as a representation of reality. This story is written with no intention of disrespecting Heeseung, ENHYPEN, their members, BELIFT LABS, HYBE Labels, or anyone involved. (BELIFT LABS and HYBE Labels, however, are respectfully excluded from the "no disrespect" part. The disrespect is, in fact, intentional.) It is dedicated to all the ENGENEs who are devastated by Heeseung leaving ENHYPEN. For everyone who is still trying to process the goodbye.
