An elusive global actress, fashion darling, box-office monster, and certified "Digital Ghost," she appears online once every few months, attends a few public events a year, and leaves the entertainment industry guessing whether she is being mysterious on purpose or simply forgot Instagram exists. Kim Seokjin, meanwhile, has survived military service, global fame, BTS chaos, and his own dramatic tendencies. What he has not survived is Mingyue accidentally walking into the wrong lounge, running into glass doors, forgetting her phone in impossible places, and looking at him with those calm, devastating eyes like she has no idea she is ruining his life. Between secret dinners, luxury apartments, missing phones, family holidays, jealous misunderstandings, and a growing problem called "Kim Seokjin is down catastrophically bad," two people with impossible schedules try to figure out if love can work when the whole world is waiting to watch. Or worse- when BTS finds out first. --- Genre: BTS Fanfiction, Romantic Comedy, Celebrity Romance, Idol x Actress, Slow Burn-ish, Chaotic Domestic Fluff Main Pairing: Kim Seokjin x Hwang Mingyue / OC Vibe: "he fell first and fell loud," emotionally sincere menace x dramatic husband material --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction written for entertainment purposes only.
