When BTS begins preparations for their worldwide Arirang Tour, the company hires a new translator to travel with them overseas. YN was only supposed to translate interviews, backstage meetings, and fan events. Nothing more. But somewhere between late-night rehearsals, airport chaos, hidden glances, and words spoken too softly to translate... Jungkook starts looking at her differently. And in a world where every move becomes headlines, falling for the group's translator might be the one thing neither of them can survive.

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.

Rankings 1st in Min Yoongi 1st in Kim Taehyung 3rd in BTS 2nd in Soulmate Ever since Taehyung found his soulmate, Meera, Yoongi sometimes wondered what it would be like to have a soulmate. When Jae bumps into him in the lift, all his assumptions of how he thought it would be are shattered. It is entirely different, far from what he imagined and too intense. For someone as introverted, shy and laid back as him, Jae is his polar opposite. She is energetic, extroverted to the core and has the ability to talk non-stop. She is Yin to his yang, his soulmate for life, bound to him by the red string of fate. Let's read to find out how they make the journey from complete strangers to lovers while navigating twists and turns like stalkers, threats, and the chaotically extraordinary life that BTS has. Though this is the second story in the series of 'Soulmates' you can read it as a standalone. If you are interested in the first one, "Bound by touch' which is Taehyung and Meera's story, you can find it on my profile. The concept of Red string of fate is insprired from the Chinese myth of Red string that ties destined lovers. The concept of soulmates needing skin contact to heal/ recharge is inspired from fanfiction by author fallencairns on AO3. The writer in turn was inspired and used the concept of skin contact recharge/healing from some other author. So I acknowledge and credit the idea/ concept to the original creator. Other than that, the story and characters are my work and I hope no one steals it. If you get inspired by this story or want to write something similar, please ask and give credits where they are due.
