In a world where everyone is born with a countdown to meeting their soulmate, Y/N's timer hits zero during a music show and she locks eyes with none other than ATEEZ's Yunho. The moment freezes them both... literally. Their timers stop, time halts, and everything changes.
But there's a cruel catch: after meeting, the bond demands time. Real, physical presence. The more time they spend together, the more time they earn apart-but the buffer is short. Just hours. If they're separated too long, the sickness begins. And in the cutthroat world of idols, being constantly together isn't just difficult-it's forbidden.
Y/N is just a trainee, weeks away from debut. But the agency sees her as a liability now, a threat to Yunho's rising success. When she's asked to step back from her dream to "protect" his career, she's faced with a brutal choice: sacrifice everything she's worked for, or risk the health of the one person fate has bound her to.
But Yunho? He's not giving up without a fight.

Almost Always [EmiBonnie]
It was supposed to be just a job. A gig. Two actresses playing a couple on screen, selling a story, doing the whole 'promo smile, red carpet pose, rinse and repeat' routine. Not the headlines, not the hashtags, and definitely not the feelings. But then, there was that kiss... What followed wasn't part of the plan. And definitely not in the script. But when two people spend enough time pretending to be in love, sometimes the acting starts to feel a little too real. What begins as fanservice turns into something harder to fake. The teasing stops being for the cameras. The tension stops being just good acting. And somewhere between interviews, rehearsals, and stolen glances, the line between "real" and "acting" blurs. It's slow and it's messy. It's full of feelings they tried to ignore. Something they can't name. Almost love. Almost honest. Almost Always. If you're into slow burns, accidental closeness, and that feeling when two people are clearly falling for each other but refuse to admit it... this one is for you... 📌✦ Author's Rights Notice ✦ This story is an original work.

Fuck Me Juvenile | WOOSAN
San Choi was never supposed to make it out alive. The prison was his grave, and the sadistic scientist who ran it made sure of that. Tortured, drugged, and turned into something barely human, he finally did the impossible-he escaped. Now, he's a wanted man, and the only thing keeping him going is revenge. But first, he needs a place to hide. That's how he ends up breaking into Wooyoung Jung's apartment at 2 AM, dripping blood onto the cheap carpet, a gun in one hand and the other wrapped around the university student's throat. Wooyoung should be scared out of his mind. He is scared. But he's also an idiot-because instead of crying for help, he lifts an eyebrow. San blinks. For the first time in days, he's caught off guard. He should have left. He should have killed the little brat and disappeared. But instead, he finds himself crashing on Wooyoung's couch, using his shower, eating the instant ramen Wooyoung throws at him with a sigh. San clenches his jaw. He should have just killed him. But as the days pass, Wooyoung stops being just a scared kid who stumbled into the wrong nightmare. He's something else. Annoying. Shameless. Fearless. And worst of all? Unshakably loyal. And San... San is getting too used to him. But there's no time for distractions. His old friend Yunho is feeding him information-tracking the doctor who turned him into a monster, the man who thinks San is still his little experiment. The closer he gets to revenge, the more dangerous it becomes. And Wooyoung? He's not supposed to be part of this world. But then again, Wooyoung was never good at listening. |Been No:1 on #ateez|Complete
If I were you (Ateez Fanfiction)
"'How about Wooyoung?', I asked as casual as possible, 'He does like hanging out with people.' 'That's true but a simple stroll around the park is lacking a bit of excitement for him, you know?', Yunho shrugged. I nodded thoughtfully. 'You see, he's more of a person who loves having people around and do something full of action together. Which is cool, but it sometimes can be a bit much too handle. If he ever finds a girlfriend, she most likely has to be similar to this.' 'You think so? Couldn't somebody more calm balance him out?', I asked back. 'Oh, that is possible. I just think someone like that would face way greater struggles.'" After being lucky enough to get teamed up with her crush for a project, Minjee suddenly finds herself adopted into his friend group. Happy about that opportunity, she uses the time given to get to know him better. Naturally so, she happens to befriend the others as well, one in particular...Complete![Sunrise [Yungi FF]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/243041922-256-k577183.jpg)

Wooyoung was unlike anyone he'd ever met, and it was becoming increasingly obvious to San that he wasn't sure where the hell this was going. What Wooyoung was supposed to be to him, because his heart was telling him there was something there, something promising, maybe even something good, but the way Wooyoung hugged him outside the restaurant- brief, friendly, with laughter pressed into his eardrum- told San a much different story. Friends. They were supposed to be friends. Or, San falls in love with Wooyoung who was supposed to be nothing more than a fuck buddy, and gets damn good at hiding his feelings.Complete
