Hello readers! I'm Pearl! 🤍 I really hope you'll like my story! English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance for any grammatical mistakes or typos. I am trying to stay as canonically grounded as possible for the characters and their personalities. This is a slow burn, it will cover the bakusquad last year of highschool and their first year after it (plus, most likely, some bonuses from their adult lives!). Information about the characters will be shown in the first chapter. I hope you'll like how I built the story and how the characters are pictured! Love, Pearl 🫶🏼

🌸 Description: In the cruel and turbulent world of Seoul's show business, where your every step is watched, and falsehood and danger are hidden in every corner, the young and talented omega Kim Taehyung was trying to simply survive and preserve his purity. He did not even imagine that just one accidental collision with the strict, unyielding director of the agency, known for his icy mask, alpha Jeon Jungkook, would turn the lives of both upside down. The bitter scent of black coffee and strong whiskey, which for years had radiated only coldness and dominance, suddenly meets the gentle, unprotected shades of sakura and sweet vanilla. This is not an ordinary passion; this is a slow-burning story full of restrained emotions, where Jungkook is ready to become an unyielding fortress to protect his precious omega from the dirt of the world. But will they be able to pass all the obstacles, melt the restraint of years, and build their own, invincible universe, where even after the darkest night, the brightest light of their lives, little Jimin, will be born? "From the day you entered my life, my cold world filled with light and meaning... Shine, my little one, and I will always be by your side."
