Once, they were unstoppable - the band everyone wanted, the couple everyone envied. Kira Timurov's discipline and Yumeko Jabami's chaos burned together onstage like lightning in a bottle. Until the cracks split wide: creative clashes, trust issues, heartbreak bleeding into music.

Now the band is broken in two. Riri and Suki stand at Kira's side; Mary and Ryan follow Yumeko; the fans argue endlessly over who's to blame. They still end up at the same shows, still forced into rehearsals, interviews, and charity gigs together. Every encounter reopens old wounds. Every song sounds like a confession.

Kira tells herself she's moved on - writing new tracks, drinking, distracting herself with anyone but Yumeko. Yumeko hides her hurt in grins and risky stunts, her voice sharper, wilder than ever. Yet no matter how far they spiral, their music keeps dragging them back to each other.
Through flashbacks of love, jealousy, and the fights that tore them apart, and present-day moments where the chemistry refuses to die, both women are forced to admit the truth: the breakup was never about music. It was about fear. Fear of being caged, fear of being abandoned, fear of losing the only person who ever truly saw them.

11 parts Complete

She was sunshine. She was storm. And fate tied them together. When 20-year-old Clara Hargreaves loses her parents, she also loses the only home she's ever known - until her parents' best friend steps in to honor a long-forgotten promise. Now Clara is arranged to marry Miku Nakahara - a cold, distant 35-year-old CEO who wants nothing to do with love, let alone marriage. But Clara is all softness. A golden retriever in human form. Clingy, charming, full of sunshine - and determined to melt the ice around Miku's heart. Miku doesn't want to love again. Not after what happened. But jealousy creeps in. Emotions get messy. And no matter how much she denies it... her heart knows Clara is different. From fake smiles to real kisses. From strangers to soulmates. This is not just an arranged marriage. This is Tethered Hearts. 📌 Author's Note: This is a fictional story inspired by original characters and emotional dynamics I love.
