When world-famous idol Jungkook slips into an art gallery, he isn't looking for attention - he's looking for something real.
Wilhelmina, a travelling photographer who lives her life far from stages and spotlights, meets him without knowing his name, his fame, or the millions who adore him. To her, he's just a man with gentle eyes and an unexpected understanding of art. And for the first time in a long time, that's exactly who he wants to be.
But how long can a connection built in anonymity survive the weight of global stardom?
Between Spotlight and Shadows is a slow-burn romance about identity, vulnerability, and the intoxicating thrill of being seen - not as an icon, but as a human being.

Miss Producer and The Idol Season 2
Jungkook stood frozen in the middle of the studio, the ring clutched in his fist like he'd been holding onto it for his life. His chest rose and fell too fast. His eyes-wide, desperate-locked onto mine like I was the only thing keeping him from falling apart. And maybe I was. But this time... I wasn't here to save him. I stepped forward slowly, heels clicking against the floor like a countdown. No smile. No softness. Just quiet resolve wrapped in silence. His lips parted-'Princess, I-' I didn't let him speak. Instead, I slapped him. 'You bastard...'Complete

To Be A Family | 8th Member
(DISCONTINUED) Yeon Choheun is a 17-year-old teen taking care of her brother, the only living relative in her life other than her nephew. Doing so, she ignores her childish, longing dream of becoming an idol. When BigHit opens an audition under the public's eyes, Choheun is persuaded to try it out and she did. She just didn't expect to win. Or that she was training to become the 8th member of BTS instead of her own idol, and face head-on what it takes to be a family in the arms of boys she looks up to, and accepting them in her life. Now, if only she stops harming herself in every way possible, subconsciously or not... • IMPORTANT NOTE: Officially DISCONTINUED due to no longer being in the fandom, unfortunately. I enjoyed my time as an ARMY and K-POP fan and will still continue to enjoy the music as a former fan for the fond memories <333 (Note: 10k+ words. Story takes place in Feb of 2016. BTS aren't too friendly in the beginning, and NO ROMANCE whatsoever. Give it a chance I guess?) -20190506-Complete
