First Story, so bear with me a little bit lol
-----------
The spotlight. Blinding, it reveals only what's in front of it.
The shadows. Where truth and fear hide from that unforgiving light.
For years, Kang Taejin had yearned to be in the spotlight. First in to training, last one out. But when the girl he loves leaves without a word, his world collapses. Motivation lost, he's cut from his company-until a second chance appears where he least expects it.
He seizes the opportunity with a new family, SOLANIS, finally stepping into the glow he once craved. Yet just as the stage lights embrace him, a lingering ghost from his past emerges in the form of a single message:
"Good job with your debut!"
Will the words from the shadows unravel everything Taejin has rebuilt, or lead him toward a truth he's never stopped seeking?

The Day I Stopped Loving You
Kim YN had always been the kind of person who wore her heart on her sleeve-bright, cheerful, and unafraid to chase after what she wanted. And what she wanted was Myung Jaehyun. From the moment she laid eyes on him during freshman orientation, she knew her heart had found its match. But Jaehyun never saw her the same way. To him, she was just a persistent senior, a fleeting nuisance in his otherwise simple life. No matter how many times he rejected her, YN never wavered. She laughed off his cold words, smiled through his indifference, and continued to believe that one day, he would finally see her. But love has its limits. And one day, with a single cruel remark, Jaehyun shattered the last piece of hope she held onto. The bright and joyful YN disappeared that day. As Jaehyun continued on with his life, something felt off-something was missing. The girl who once followed him everywhere, who smiled just by looking at him, was suddenly gone. And it was only then that he realized... he had been wrong all along. But what happens when you realize your feelings too late? When the one who loved you with everything they had... has already stopped? ____ π₯No 1 #jaehyun out of 11.5k π No 2 #boynextdoor out of 4.76k π No 1 #kpopimagines out of 13.9k π No 6 #kpopgroup out of 5.57k π No 11 #hybe out of 3.29k ~Check on my profile for more stories ~Complete
Hollow
A Stray Kids fanfiction "You don't even text me," Hyunjin whispered. Jisung paused for half a second, processing the words, and finally answered, voice low and neutral. "I didn't think about it." Hyunjin laughed-not amused, but breathlessly disbelieving. "You never do." Jisung tilted his head slightly, brushing his mouth against Hyunjin's in a quiet, instinctive reply. His hand slid to the back of Hyunjin's neck, pulling him back into the kiss. That was all the answer Hyunjin got. Hyunjin's voice came out low against his skin. "You act like you don't care at all." Jisung keeps his world small with quiet streets, late-night walks, and strangers in fleeting encounters. He drifts, observing more than feeling, never letting anyone too close. Hyunjin lives differently in bright lights, constant attention, and a life full of people waiting for him to be seen and to be admired. And yet, behind the smiles, there are cracks no one notices. When their paths cross, boundaries blur. Desire, secrets, and unspoken rules twist their days and nights. Some connections leave marks, some leave nothing, but both are about to learn just how hollow their worlds really are. Ongoing β Please remember it's a fiction.Complete
