He was chaos. She was sarcasm. Neither of them expected to care.
Fréya "Réya" Thompson is a sharp-tongued music journalist with a grunge aesthetic and zero patience for fame-chasing artists. Joost Klein is a Dutch musician who thrives on chaos and controversy. When her latest article about him goes unexpectedly viral, Joost slides into her DMs - and refuses to leave.
What starts as a hate-fueled professional exchange slowly spirals into something dangerously personal.
Long-distance. Late-night messages. Too much honesty.
This wasn't supposed to feel real.
Written from Réya's POV.
Slow burn. Enemies-ish to something else.

Throughout her life, she has perfected the skill of manipulating others. As an agent, betrayal comes naturally, and falling for the enemy is a mistake she cannot afford to make.

For years, she has remained focused, cold, and untouchable-until she encounters him. Jeon Jungkook. The Mafia leader- feared by many, respected by all, and trusted by none.

Her lies are flawless, her gaze defiant, and her presence intoxicating. As they engage in a perilous dance of power and passion, their worlds start to unravel. She was sent to betray him, but his touch ignites a fire that threatens to dismantle her carefully constructed facade. He vowed never to trust anyone, yet the spark in her eyes tempts him to break all his rules. When the truth is revealed, betrayal cuts deeper than any bullet. Enemies close in, and their fragile connection is tested as they are forced to choose between love and survival. In the end, will they destroy each other-or the enemies who threaten to tear them apart?

To him, she's just the new girl who looks like she's carrying secrets too heavy for someone her age. Freya is used to people loving the idea of her, not the real her. But with Malachi-and his friends, protective Kamri, hilarious MK, fangirl Dara, artistic Malia, stylish Kylie, and theatrical Joshua-she finds something she's never had before: a chance at being normal. A chance to laugh without cameras watching. A chance to be herself. But the past doesn't stay buried for long. Between paparazzi headlines, whispers at school, and the shadow of her ex, Freya has to decide if letting someone in is worth the risk. And Malachi must face what it means to fall for a girl whose world could pull him into the spotlight whether he wants it or not.

ALONE [JJK]
"Your eyes are like smoke: gray and full of heat." His own eyes dipped into yours, his arms only slightly loosening. "Hate to break it to you, Shakespeare, but smoke isn't full of heat, it's an effect of heat." You corrected, yet it was hard to take your bitter tone seriously after what had just happened. "That works too." Jungkook's crooked smirk switched to a small smile. "They always get darker and grayer when you're angry." "Like you would notice." "Like I wouldn't." . Y/N has always known when people lie. It's not a guess, a hunch, or intuition-it's certainty. Every word, every half-truth, every deception reveals itself to her instantly. In a world where everyone hides something, Y/N has never been fooled. Until she meets him. Jungkook is the only person she can't read. No signals. No certainty. No truth, no lies-just silence where her ability should be. For the first time in her life, Y/N is blind. Drawn to the mystery surrounding him, Y/N finds herself stepping into a dangerous game of secrets, where every answer leads to more questions. Who is Jungkook, really? And why is he the only one her power can't touch? Because if Y/N has learned anything, it's this: When the truth disappears, something far more dangerous is hiding in its placeComplete![𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝘆 [ 𝙅𝙤𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙙𝙪𝙣𝙠 ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/392878701-256-k239517.jpg)

I Dunk, have a theory. Life takes a full 360 from the moment you meet your soulmate in a good way or in a bad way..... But I never thought I was going to be the first experiment to prove my own theory right. I Call it the Chaos Theory. I never planned to stand out- Until I topped Thailand's toughest entrance... at sixteen. That's when I met him-Joong Archen Wattanachaiyakul Rojanaprasert who has it all. The kind of guy who walks into a room like he owns it. So not me ... Right ? We met by accident-simple, forgettable. But it wasn't random. It was the start of something we never saw coming. Different lives. Different worlds. But fate doesn't ask. Some things are meant to happen-no matter what.
The love he rented
Joong has two problems. One: His ex-boyfriend is marrying his cousin. Two: His grandma will hand the family empire to said cousin unless Joong proves he's in a serious relationship. Naturally, the solution is to hire a fake boyfriend. Enter Dunk: barista, blunt-tongued, gorgeous, and alarmingly good at kissing like he means it. Joong expected this to be business-only. A few hand-holds, some couple selfies, pretend-giggling. No feelings. No... moaning in expensive bathrooms. But Dunk is too calm, too honest, too firm with those hands and that voice. And Joong? Joong's forgetting this is fake. Especially when Dunk says things like: "If we're going to sell it, we better kiss again. Practice, right?" A fake relationship. A nosy family. One wedding, endless sexual tension, and a hundred chances to fall stupidly in love. Warning: May contain intense hand-holding, emotionally blunt tops, closet makeouts, surprise orgasms, and one (1) very betrayed cat.Complete
