More Than A Stage Name (K/DA x MaleReader)
11 parts Ongoing MatureY/N never thought loving an idol could feel so lonely.
To everyone else, Ahri's a dream...
K-pop's rising star, their golden child. Flawless in every headline, flawless on every stage. But the real her? That's the girl who left ramen bowls in Y/N's sink, who stole Y/N's hoodies, who whispered that none of this fame shit mattered if she had Y/N.
But that was before the agency decided she'd look better on someone else's arm. Before the fake dates. Before Y/N became nothing but a name on her phone and a secret she couldn't afford to keep.
Now, Y/N watches her smile for cameras and wonders if there's anything real left behind that perfect mask. Maybe she'll come back. Maybe Y/N's just fooling themselves. But loving a version of her that's only for the spotlight can't last forever.
Because at the end of the day, she's so much more than a stage name.
And Y/N just has to figure out if there's any room in that story for him at all.
