Chaewon thought love was supposed to feel safe.
With Jungkook, it did - quiet, steady, expected. The kind of love people envy from afar.
But everything changes the day Karina walks into her life.
Confident. Unapologetic. Beautiful in a way that makes Chaewon's world stop spinning.
The more time they spend together, the more Chaewon's perfect life begins to crack. Her laughter sounds different. Jungkook's touch feels heavier. And Karina's smile? It feels like freedom - and danger - all at once.
She never planned to fall for a girl.
But sometimes, the person who breaks everything you know...
is the one who makes you finally see yourself.

whenever he bent down a little for her to colour his lips with the chapstick, she wouldn't ever dare to look in his eyes. for she knew had she done that, she would've blundered. but today, while the younger was doing the typical for his noona, he deliberately stared at her chocolate brown depths, compelling her to stare at his own pair, that held an unusual universe with a familiar feeling. something she had never noticed before. and somehow that damned chapstick was exchanged with a delightful surprise for him, and just like two magnets their lips were attracted in a strange enchantment. hers fit like a puzzle piece with his, sending her into an immediate state of euphoria she never thought she could personally experience. the little amount of guilt and fear that she might lose him in the next moment was certainly there, but she could hardly focus on that. her stomach performed gymnastics, her heart pounded at a speed that it felt it would break open the barrier and her eyes shut close, too anxious to meet his. he's gonna hate me. but her hand resting on his chest said otherwise, for she could feel his thundering heartbeat through the fabric he wore. her eyes opened to see her reflection in his dark orbs and she was left breathless again, unable to comprehend his reaction. and a gasp left her mouth when he bent a little lower. ❦ lowercase intended. -won first place in nyctophylia awards 2021 🏆 -won third place in the trivia awards 2020 🏅 a jeon jungkook short story all rights reserved✓ DiamondMaknae © 2021Complete
Half of the Same Song || Winrina
Yu Jimin has always felt safer hiding behind lyrics - lines she scribbles in notebooks, meant for no one but herself. Kim Minjeong finds comfort in melodies, in humming softly to herself when words are too hard to say out loud. On a quiet campus filled with noise, they somehow find each other-in shared classes, sleepy cafés, and the spaces between songs. What starts as quiet company slowly blossoms into something warmer: late-night laughter, tentative trust, and a growing closeness neither of them saw coming. Through music, they begin to open up-piece by piece, note by note-until they realize the most beautiful songs are the ones you don't have to sing alone. Half of the Same Song is a soft, slow-burn story about healing, first love, and finding someone who feels like home - even before you know their whole story.Complete![𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 [ᴊᴋ ꜰꜰ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/263135910-256-k482592.jpg)

"In one of the stars, we'll be living one day. In one of them, we'll be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can smile." The teen guy said, smiling, as he stared into the eyes of the love of his life. The girl just smiled back, a beautiful blush on her cheeks. But... Everything changed... "I hate you... From the bottom of my heart, Jeon Jungkook." Her once sweet and melodious voice sounded harsh but the way her eyes glistened... They recited a totally different plot. "Is it really that late? I still love you." "No...You don't. You never did..." Her stern voice, her frigid look, just broke his heart. "You were the reason for my sorrow... So now it's time to pay back, Mr Jeon." ---------------------------------------------- 🥇- ATELIER AWARDS ---------------------------------------------- [Originally started: 22nd March 2021] [Completed on: 6th August 2021] -------------------------------------------- Cover Credits: @Jaygrfx7Complete

(PURINZ, PETALZ & WINRINA, original story) • Yunjin raised her eyebrows. "You don't even know her well." She argued. "We were in a group together, Yunjin, I think I know her pretty well." Chaewon snapped as she crossed her arms. Yunjin still hasn't let go of her. "You can't just-" "What do you care?" The blonde's anger took over. "Have you been watching me?" Yunjin's cheeks flushed. "You're my best friend, I'm supposed to care." She shot back. "Well, you've done a good job ruining it." Chaewon tried to force Yunjin's hands off. It was to no avail: the redhead only gripped her tighter. "Dance with me." She spoke as she stared at Chaewon, studying every detail of her face. Suddenly, all the anger seemed to dissipate when Chaewon looked back into Yunjin's dark eyes. She was severely wasted, hot, and her mind was all over the place; but Yunjin was her constant. She hated how Yunjin filled her chest with a warmth she couldn't explain. And she hated that she couldn't just keep being angry. But she loved Huh Yunjin. Which was something she'd never admit while sober.Complete![BEHIND THE SCREEN #2 JENRINA [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395920160-256-k624721.jpg)

Yet, the two shared an unspoken connection, with Chaewon treating Yunjin with a kindness that made her feel seen.

Unexpectedly, Chaewon walked into her clinic, effortlessly poised and radiant as ever. The brief moment they shared in high school suddenly felt alive again, bringing back memories Yunjin had buried long ago. Would they be able to pick up where they left off, or had too much time passed?
