Slowbutn Stories

A struggling actress. A ruthless billionaire. A contract that was never supposed to feel real. Elena Carter is one audition away from giving up on her dreams-drowning in bills, eating cold ramen on her apartment floor, and questioning every choice that led her here. When Adrian Blackwood, the icy billionaire heir, offers her a deal she can't refuse-a fake relationship to fix his reputation-she knows it's dangerous. But so is starving. The rules are simple: No emotions. No scandals. And absolutely no falling in love. But between red carpet appearances, whispered threats from his ex-fiancée, and lingering gazes that last too long, the lines blur. Elena never expected to enjoy sparring with Adrian. She never expected the possessiveness in his eyes when another man gets too close. And she definitely never expected to want something real in a relationship built on lies. As the contract nears its expiration, one question remains-when the cameras stop flashing, will they still be pretending?

Emma Carter was never meant to stay in one place. At twenty years old, she's already lived a lifetime-former barrel racer, single mother, and a woman running from a past that refuses to let go. With her two-year-old daughter Sunny in her arms and nothing but determination in her heart, Emma moves halfway across the world to Seoul to start over. Working as behind-the-scenes staff for idols means long nights, exhausting schedules, and staying invisible. But that becomes impossible the moment Sunny wanders into the practice room of Stray Kids. Eight chaotic idols quickly grow attached to the tiny girl with endless giggles and the quiet, strong mother who refuses to let anyone help her. What starts as accidental babysitting slowly turns into something deeper-late night dinners, shared laughter, and a family Emma never expected to find. And somewhere between stage lights, music, and Sunny's tiny hand wrapped around his finger, Changbin realizes something dangerous: Emma Carter might be the one person he can't let walk away. But Emma has spent her whole life running. The real question is... when she finally finds a place that feels like home, will she stay? -or will her wild heart run again?
