She's always been the other girl - not the pretty one, not the charming one. Just the one who blends in.

With a boyish laugh, oversized shirts, and a personality that made her "one of the boys," she's used to being everyone's buddy - never the girl they fall for. Especially not him, the close friend who made her believe their bond might mean something more. She thought their late-night talks, their shared playlists, and quiet comfort were hints of a deeper connection.

But she was wrong.
He didn't see her that way.
And he never really had to say it - the way he drifted away was answer enough.

What hurt wasn't just the heartbreak.
It was the reminder that maybe she'd never be the girl someone would choose.

While she was stuck on what could've been, someone else had already been noticing her - not in classrooms or group projects, but in little, forgotten places: a quiet café corner, a campus bench after hours, a hallway she thought no one looked twice at.

He wasn't part of her routine. But somehow, he saw her better than anyone else had.

He noticed how she bit her lip when she was overthinking.
How she walked faster when she was nervous.
How she gave too much of herself without asking for anything back.

He didn't flirt. He didn't promise.
He just stayed.

Slowly, she stopped shrinking. Stopped apologizing for who she was.
And started realizing: love didn't have to be loud or perfect or planned.

Sometimes, it was just... there. Quiet. Consistent. Real.

She thought she had already lost her chance at something true.
She didn't expect it was just him, after all.All Rights Reserved

Still, She Hoped by just_yvette

She's a girl with a hopelessly romantic heart-someone who's always believed in soulmates, late-night talks, and love that feels like home. But reality hasn't been kind. Time after time, she's been cheated on, left to pick up the pieces of promises broken and dreams torn apart. Still, she holds onto hope, even when it hurts. Then, just when she's about to give up on love entirely, someone new enters her life. Unexpected. Gentle. Different. For the first time in a long while, she dares to believe again. She lets herself fall. And just when her heart begins to feel safe, he breaks it too-leaving her more lost than ever. She's a hopeless romantic-someone who's always dreamed of deep, lasting love, the kind that feels like fate and fills every quiet space in her heart. But life hasn't followed the script she imagined. She's been cheated on more times than she can count, each betrayal carving a deeper wound, each lie dimming the light inside her. Still, she keeps hoping. Her mind is a storm-racing thoughts, endless questions, memories she can't escape. Why wasn't she enough? Will anyone ever stay? She tries to make sense of the chaos, holding onto that small, fragile thread of belief that love is still out there. Then someone new arrives-unexpected and warm, just different enough to make her believe that maybe, just maybe, things will be different this time. She opens her heart again. She lets herself feel. But the pattern repeats. He leaves. And the pain hits harder, because this time she truly thought it would last. Now, with too much on her mind and a heart full of silent screams, she stands at the edge of hope and heartbreak, still wishing-against all odds-that real love will find her. "She believed in love, even after being broken again and again. With a mind full of storms and a heart full of cracks, she still hoped someone would choose to stay."

The unreachable mountain by Growened

"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.

The Tale of Your Ordinary Girl by KallieAndrews16

She's just your ordinary girl. She has silk brown waves. Big chocolate brown eyes. She's really no one special. An average girl. With beyond extraordinary grades. So naturally it's where she's bound to turn when things get tough. She'll bury her nose in her books. Surround herself with schoolwork and block out anyone or anything that would destroy her. She would spend a Saturday night with her textbooks rather than out on the town with her so called friends. She's friendly when she has to be, but also incredibly shy around new people. She's exactly who she wants to be. He's every girls dream superstar. The ideal boyfriend. The one that any girl would take home to mom and dad. He'll stand below her window and serenade her with beautiful melodies. He'll hold her hand walking to class. He'll smile when he calls her. He'll score the game winning point in any sport. But what happens when the girl he wants can't seem to understand she's more than just your ordinary girl. She's extraordinary.

2/7 Through His Lens - (Jeon Jungkook x Y/N) - Completed ✔️ by Hazel_Rose_Grace

He lives in the spotlight. She only feels safe behind the lens. "But sometimes, the clearest pictures are the ones no one was meant to capture." Jungkook has spent years smiling for cameras, singing for sold-out crowds, and burying a heartbreak no one else can see. Behind the flashbulbs and headlines, he's still haunted by the woman he never truly let go of. Y/N was never meant to be part of his world. A quiet photographer with her own invisible bruises, she's there to dog-sit, stay out of the way, and keep her heart in check. But it's impossible to stay invisible when he looks at her like she's the first honest thing he's seen in years. And it's even harder not to fall - for a man who has no heart left to give. She fights the pull because she knows this love can only end in heartbreak. She tries to protect what's left of herself, even as her own defenses crumble. But when he looks at her with desperate need - in ways no one else ever sees - she knows there's no turning back. Not now. Because sometimes, the hardest thing isn't to let go - but to hold on, even when it means risking a heartbreak she's certain will come. "Because sometimes, the sharpest focus comes from broken lenses - and the most honest pictures are taken through tears." *** Book 2 of the True Love series ***

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

MENACE - Forced Marriage With A Mafia ✅ by thvfiqz

Your gaze met his dark orbs already looking down, into your eyes. Your lips parted while his gaze traveled onto your lips and then back in your orbs as you scrutinized his petals with the metal lip piercing decorated it a way further, gravitating you but you immediately cut through your gaze at him. He took steps towards you as you retreated, your back hitting the shelf. Your eyes level over his chest, while you again looked up at him stepping nigh, observing his Adam's apple bulging as he gulped down a lump in his throat while he placed the book back on the shelf. "Careful." He said in his low tone as your gaze trailed over his jawline so sharp while he spoke before looking down at you. ------------------------------------------------- "You are a criminal. You killed someone. You are a killer. The Jungkook I knew can't even harm an insect and you killed a human being. I hate you. I HATE YOU. YOU KILLED MY LOVE. Neil..." This was abundant for Jungkook. Jungkook howled on top of his lungs as he increased the speed, "Don't you dare take his name out of your mouth." You also shouted, "I will. I love him." You didn't know from where you got this much endurance but you just witnessed the love of your life getting killed in front of your eyes. -------------------------------------- "The marriage papers will be ready by tomorrow." Your head whipped in his direction but before you could say anything he made it loud and clear, "Before objecting anything, remember the promise Mr. Lee took from you. It was his last heart set on and I won't let you go lavishly. It's my first priority and don't make it hard for me to bring off his dying wish.'' You heard his words clearly and he was stern with his words, there was no way you could turn a deaf ear to his sayings. # 1 - bookcovers # 44 - jungkook # 15 - challenge # 20 - stories # 14 - writer # 76 - book # 77 - btsboys # 2 - covers

❝𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗪 ━━ 𝗝.𝗝𝗞 ✓ by JIMTAEFIQZS

He was her stalker. But not the kind that lurked in the shadows with sinister intent. No, he was simply a man in love-too afraid to step forward, too hesitant to risk rejection. A silent observer, hopelessly drawn to the woman who had unknowingly become his entire world. To everyone else, he was intimidating. A towering figure wrapped in ink and muscle, exuding an unapproachable presence that made people steer clear. They never looked deeper. Never saw the quiet soul beneath the hardened exterior. Judgments were made the moment he entered a room, long before he even had the chance to speak. But she was different. She saw him. And more importantly-she liked being seen by him. If he thought he was going unnoticed, he was sorely mistaken. He wasn't a very good stalker-not by a long shot. She recognised his face, the way he lingered just far enough away to watch but never close enough to act. His clumsy attempts at remaining unseen were anything but stealthy, and truth be told, she found them utterly endearing. He wasn't frightening. He wasn't menacing. He was just a man, staring at her from the edges of his own fear, caught between longing and hesitation. But she wasn't going to make it easy for him. She wanted him to make the first move. She wanted him to prove to himself that he was brave enough to stand before her, to reach for what he so clearly desired. So, with a knowing glint in her eyes, she played along-her actions deliberate, her teasing methodical. She became a puzzle for him to solve, a challenge he couldn't ignore. And with each passing day, she felt the tension coil tighter between them, the invisible string drawing them closer. And really, if he ever wanted to harm her-which was laughable-he wouldn't stand a chance. The only thing he was a danger to was his own fear of losing her before he ever had the chance to claim her.
