"Counting Down the Wrong Days"

Jeon Jungkook - global pop icon, heartthrob of millions, and currently a proud soldier in the South Korean military - was days away from returning. Fans around the world were counting down with hearts full of anticipation, ready to flood timelines with hashtags and welcome banners.

Everyone missed him.

Except Lee Y/N.

Once a Bighit trainee with promising visuals and vocal potential, Y/N had long given up on the dream of debuting. Somewhere between growing up and growing tired, she realized that chasing stardom no longer excited her. At eighteen, she traded in practice rooms for backstage chaos, taking up a job in the artist management team.

Her first assignment? Assist Jeon Jungkook.

From sorting fan mail to managing his endless brand collaborations, posting his pre-approved selfies, and reminding him (over and over again) to please not post spoilers on Weverse - her life became a frustrating loop of damage control, coffee runs, and the golden maknae's chaos. If he wasn't teasing her, he was ignoring instructions. If he wasn't ignoring her, he was driving her absolutely insane.

He was a nightmare wrapped in a Dior jacket.

And when he finally enlisted, Y/N celebrated. Quietly, of course. But her smile that day? Unmatched.

Now, with his return looming, the entire office buzzes with excitement - all except her. While everyone counts down the days till Jungkook's discharge, Lee Y/N is secretly counting down the last days of her peace.

Because once Jeon Jungkook is back... her hell resumes.
