Standing Next to Her Valeria Reyes has spent years making sure the world never knows who she is. By day, she's one of Chicago's most respected motorcycle mechanics-a tattooed Afro-Latina with grease-stained hands, a love for vintage bikes, and a 4 a.m. gym routine that keeps her grounded. Her body tells her story: a full Harry Potter leg sleeve, celestial tattoos, tributes to BTS, and the heartbeat of her late father inked beneath a lyric that reminds her to keep moving forward. By night, she's Luna Nova-the anonymous producer and songwriter behind some of the music industry's biggest hits. No cameras. No interviews. No face. Just music. When Jungkook reaches out after hearing her work, asking for help on what will become his next album, she agrees to collaborate under one condition: they will never meet. But fate has other plans. A motorcycle accident, a sunrise gym overlooking Lake Michigan, midnight rides through Chicago, handwritten songs, and secrets too heavy to keep begin to blur the line between professional partners and something much more. As two worlds collide, Valeria must decide whether risking her carefully guarded anonymity is worth the possibility of finding a love she never believed was meant for her. Because sometimes... The person you've been searching for has been standing next to you all along.

Kim Seokjin comes back from the military ready to make ARMY smile, have fun, and live his best Worldwide Handsome life. Funny enough, not even full 48 hours passed yet one clumsy, dangerously pretty woman wrecks all his plans. Unfortunately for him (and funny for us), every rejection only makes him worse, and somehow even the other six idiots end up obsessed with her too. Don't worry though-this is still very much a Seokjin problem. 💀 Disclaimer: I do not own BTS or any real public figures, brands, or referenced media. I only own the original plot, scenes, and fictional characterization of this story. Thank you pinterest for the pictures.😌 Made this for fun and for me to read, if you guys like it then you can suggest scenes. If you dont then leave me be. I use gpt to polish my draft but the scenes, the dialougues, the events, basically the content in general? I researched, thought of it, and basically wrote it down. I just had paid gpt to fix grammar errors, spelling and to help write things down more visually, so if you dont mind that I paid to make my life easy? Then feel free to read, but if thats an issue for you? Then walk away bro.
