The cutthroat world of White House journalism breeds eternal competition. No one knows that better than you, and you've got the bruises (and bylines) to prove it. Every question at a press briefing, every exclusive interview, every single headline is a battle. And there's only one person standing in your way. Jungkook Jeon. Your college rival. Your biggest headache. The man who lost valedictorian to you by a fraction of a point and has apparently held a grudge ever since. Now, years later, he's just as infuriatingly charming as he was back then, only now he has network backing, a primetime slot, and an unfairly good jawline. You both work for rival organizations, racing to break stories first, stealing sources, and outmaneuvering each other at every turn. Professionalism in public, absolute warfare behind the scenes. When a political scandal erupts in Washington, forcing you to work together for the first time, the game changes. The truth is, maybe the rivalry was never really about the work. Maybe it was just your way of keeping him at arm's length. And now that he's closer than ever... you're starting to realize: you've spent all these years fighting him off. Now, off the record-you're not sure you want to anymore. © intersteIIar/dreamersparacosm. 2025. 𝜗ৎ cover by @matchastwb

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

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 ***
