[On hiatus for revisions] Sam is a music blogger with a passion for metal. After a bad break up with a high-profile frontman, she decides to call it quits on love and focus on her blog and herself. All at once, life seems to turn upside down when her work with a major label is put in jeopardy around the same time she meets a world-famous KPop idol. At first, she wants nothing to do with him, but when life and the label insist on throwing them together, she has to choose between her commitment to single life and the metal genre and her growing attraction and feelings for the driven KPop idol.
Jae is one of five members for the KPop group, Apollo5. When they come to the USA to sign with an American label, his busy life is interrupted by a surly metal blogger who makes his heart race. Right away Jae feels the attraction, but is instantly rebuffed by her nasty attitude and sharp tongue. Soon, he's consumed by thoughts of her and feelings he has no time for, but he's determined to win her over because if there's one thing being an idol has taught him it's that the harder something is, the more worth it it is in the end.

✔️Love Me Like It's a War | Hyunlix
"You broke me once, Hyunjin. Don't you dare make me love you again." Felix and Hyunjin were inseparable-until their families tore them apart. Forced to break up under the weight of parental disapproval and idol image pressure, they walked away with broken hearts and words left unsaid. Now, years later, fate (and a cruel PR stunt) brings them back together for a month-long variety show. Sharing a house with the other Stray Kids members and living under the camera's glare, the walls they built begin to crumble. Hyunjin's jealousy is impossible to hide when Felix laughs with someone else. Felix, in turn, can't ignore the fire in Hyunjin's gaze that says, I never stopped loving you. But love isn't simple when the past still cuts deep-and when parents, careers, and unspoken feelings are waiting to tear them apart all over again. Will they keep pretending they're fine for the cameras? Or will this forced proximity be the final push that either destroys them... or sets them free? ⸻ Content Warnings • Heavy angst (emotional breakdowns, heartbreak) • Family conflict and disapproval themes • Jealousy and possessiveness • Idol industry pressure (public image, scandals) • Medium-detail smut (romantic + emotional context, teasing, implied/soft scenes) • Emotional whiplash (angst mixed with comedic chaos) • Strong language (arguments, heated fights)Complete
✔️ Stay Until Morning | Hyunlix
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. The story contains mature themes, emotional situations, and fictional portrayals of pregnancy and parenting in a same-gender relationship. All characters are fictional and not reflective of real-life events or individuals. This is a fan-written story for entertainment purposes only. One night. No names. No promises. Felix and Hyunjin were never meant to be anything more than strangers passing through a moment-tangled in quiet desperation at a friend's going-away party. But hours before Hyunjin left for Paris, they shared something raw and unspoken. And by morning, he was gone. Six weeks later, Felix found out he was pregnant. With no way to reach Hyunjin and no desire to beg for a place in someone else's life, he chose to raise the baby alone. Now, nearly two years later, Hyunjin is back in Seoul. Cold, successful, and unreadable. The last person he expects to see again in Felix-let alone holding a baby girl with eyes just like his. As secrets unravel and old wounds resurface, the two must navigate co-parenting, jealousy, and the quiet ache of love that never had the chance to begin. But some mornings don't end with goodbyes. Some are just the beginning.Complete![Irresistible [KTH+JJK]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/192924221-256-k712456.jpg)
