Fame gave Kim Taehyung everything-adoring fans, sold-out stadiums, and a life under endless spotlights. As one of the world's biggest K-pop idols, his every move belongs to the public. Until one night proves just how dangerous that attention can be. After a terrifying stalking incident, his company assigns him a personal bodyguard. Someone who will follow him everywhere-on tour, at the studio, even behind closed doors. Jeon Jungkook is younger, quiet, and infuriatingly disciplined. His job is simple: protect the client, keep distance, and never get personally involved. Taehyung hates rules. What starts as constant tension and sharp arguments slowly turns into something far more dangerous. Because the closer Jungkook stays to protect him, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. But fame hides shadows. And someone out there is still watching. In a world of screaming fans, flashing cameras, and secrets that could destroy careers, the biggest danger might not be the stalker- ...it might be getting too close to the person meant to guard your heart. ✧ Celebrity × Bodyguard ✧ Age Gap ✧ Slow Burn Romance ✧ Forced Proximity ♡ Author's Note: This story belongs to me.

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
