In the heart of Seoul's most prestigious law firm, a bold new trainee steps into the courtroom-and into the line of fire. **YN**, sharp-witted and unafraid to speak her mind, is determined to prove herself in a world ruled by rules, reputation, and relentless pressure.

Assigned to shadow the firm's top litigator, **Yoon Seok Hoon**, she quickly learns that brilliance doesn't always come with warmth. Known for his icy precision and quiet authority, Seok Hoon is a master of legal strategy-but YN's presence begins to challenge the rhythm of his carefully controlled world.

As she navigates high-stakes cases, office politics, and her own self-doubt, YN discovers that admiration can be just as powerful as ambition-and that sometimes, the most unexpected partnerships are forged in silence.

This is a story of growth, grit, and the quiet fire that burns beneath the surface. No romance. Just respect, resilience, and the pursuit of justice.

Dear Lawyer | Jikook ff by mycosmo44
18 parts Ongoing
At the law school graduation ceremony, the young and devastatingly elegant Dean Park Jimin stood under the lights like the universe's prettiest trap. With a smile soft enough to fool an entire courtroom, he teased: "Let's review what you've learned these four years. If I were your student now... what would you teach me?" The students blushed, panicked, and started writing heartfelt essays about ethics, justice, and other noble nonsense. Meanwhile, Jeon Jungkook-eternally stoic, allergic to theatrics, and hopelessly immune to Jimin's charm-calmly wrote seven words: "I don't take in scammers. Recommend immediate expulsion." Jimin found that answer instantly. Of course he did. He always finds Jungkook, even when he isn't looking. With dramatic flourish (and secretly fond exasperation), he scribbled back: "Please... did you take this seriously?" He should've known better than to challenge fate. Because years later, after one explosion neither of them asked for, Jimin ends up in the exact ridiculous scenario he once joked about- and Jungkook becomes the one person he can't outrun. Now they're stuck in each other's orbit, colliding like two idiots who pretend to hate gravity. Jimin: "...Why is this happening again?" Jungkook: "Maybe the world ships us." Jimin: "The world needs to mind its business." Jungkook: "Too late."

Seoul never sleeps, and neither do its crimes. A rookie cop walks into the Major Crimes Unit with nothing but a scarred past, a half-buttoned silk shirt, and three years of secrets buried under smoke and blood. Beside him, a senior detective... cold, relentless, carrying wounds that never healed... doesn't believe in charm, only discipline. Their collision is instant. Cases burn fast: bodies in Itaewon clubs, whispers in back alleys, fires that hide more than they destroy. Each step forward uncovers another layer of corruption, another hidden bond, another betrayal buried where no badge can reach. The department isn't just chasing criminals; it's haunted by them. Behind courtroom walls, arguments cut sharper than knives. At home, roommates become unlikely allies, informants turn into lifelines, and friendships bend dangerously close to breaking. Trust is tested in the smallest moments... in a glance across crime scene tape, in a smile that hides a weapon, in the silence between two men who both refuse to fall first. And when the past finally resurfaces, it's not just the city on trial. It's them. Because in Seoul... truth is never clean, loyalty is never free, and every badge comes with a cost.

YN and Yoongi were inseparable as children-best friends who believed nothing could ever pull them apart. But life had other plans. A sudden move tore them away from each other, and with time, all contact faded. Yoongi, once bright and full of laughter, grew silent in her absence, while YN carried scars of a past she never spoke of. Ten years later, fate brings them back together at university. But instead of a joyous reunion, Yoongi is cold and distant, anger simmering at being forgotten by the one person who once meant the world to him. YN, confused by his hostility yet strangely drawn to him, struggles to understand why he feels so painfully familiar. As secrets unravel and hidden wounds come to light, their paths intertwine once more. Surrounded by the warmth of BTS, who become both friends and family, YN and Yoongi are forced to face their past-and decide whether love, once broken, can truly be healed. A heart-wrenching story of friendship, loss, healing, and love that lingers even after years of silence. A story of broken friendships, hidden wounds, and the love that refuses to fade. The story will be updated every day
