Behind every perfect stage is someone no one sees.
Yun Haru was one of them.
Quiet. Reliable. Replaceable.
Until the mistakes started.
What others called as carelessness...
was something he couldn't explain.
The lights were too bright.
The screens too unclear.
The world around him... was slowly disappearing.
And the one person who noticed might be the last thing he ever sees clearly.
Before he forgets.

CLOSER THAN YOU THINK (Karina X Male Reader)
To the world, they are SM Entertainment's golden duo. Y/n is a globally renowned solo artist and Hollywood actor, a charismatic superstar who conquered the industry at a young age. Yoo Jimin-known to millions as Karina, the untouchable center of aespa-is his ultimate grounding force. Since their grueling days as trainees in 2016, they have been inseparable. To the fans, the executives, and the media, their bond is the ultimate, unbreakable platonic friendship. But for eight years, Jimin has carried a devastating secret. She has been entirely, hopelessly in love with him since she was sixteen years old. Trapped in the agonizing role of the "reliable best friend," Jimin has spent her entire youth standing in his shadow. She smiles for the cameras when he is linked to beautiful actresses, offers her shoulder when the pressures of fame become too heavy, and silently bleeds out in the background, terrified that confessing her true feelings will destroy the most important relationship in her life. She is perfectly resolved to suffer in silence if it means she gets to keep him. To Y/n, completely oblivious to the war being fought right beside him, Jimin is simply his anchor. She is his safe harbor in an industry designed to tear people apart. He relies on her with a fierce, protective devotion that he fundamentally misunderstands, entirely blind to the fact that his casual affection is slowly breaking her heart. But the middle ground is a dangerous place to live. When a high-profile Hollywood PR stunt pushes Jimin to her absolute breaking point, she makes the desperate decision to pull away and save herself. As the distance between them grows and the foundation of his life begins to crack, the oblivious golden boy is finally forced to open his eyes. And when he does, a decade of carefully constructed lies threatens to unravel completely. ***THIS STORY IS PROOFREAD AND GRAMMARLY CORRECTED BY AI*** ***BUT ALL IDEAS AND BASE TEXT IS MADE BY HUMAN BRAINS LOL***Complete
A Song Left Unfinished
They've heard his songs a thousand times. They've cried to them. Fallen in love to them. Found pieces of themselves in them. But no one knows who made them. He was supposed to stand on stage once. He didn't. Now, he writes for the people who did. And watches them slowly become something he chose to run from. Until one night... she hears a song that was never meant to exist. And for the first time- someone listens to him. A story about being loved... and being known. - - - - (slow burn. producer reader x chaewon.)
Closer to U (Karina x Male Reader)
Every time I pull away, I can't seem to avoid getting closer to you. Lee Y/N is a mystery-even to his own team. A relief pitcher who rarely practices, rarely plays, and never stays. He hides everything inside: his past, his limits, his wanting. Especially his wanting. Karina is known by the world. The face, the voice, the performance perfected. But behind the idol, there's someone who recognizes a mask when she sees one-because she wears one too. How would their orbits collide? One ceremonial pitch. One perfect throw hidden behind a careless one. One man who leaves before he can be left. She should forget him. He makes sure of it. She doesn't. And Y/N, who spent years learning how to disappear, finally meets someone who refuses to let him. A story about: the courage to stay and accept, even when you know the cost.

NO CHEMISTRY Karina x Male Reader
When South Korea's most acclaimed young actor, Y/N, and the nation's top idol, aespa's Karina, are cast as co-leads in a massive tvN prestige romance drama, the internet collectively loses its mind. To the public, it's a brilliant crossover pairing guaranteed to sweep the ratings. To the production crew, their on-screen chemistry is so intense and visceral that it feels entirely unscripted. But when the cameras stop rolling, the temperature on set drops to absolute zero. What the public, the paparazzi, and their own friends don't know is that Y/N and Yoo Jimin share a deeply buried history. Eight years ago, they were inseparable best friends in the quiet suburbs of Bundang-until a single, panicked phone call on the eve of her SM Entertainment audition destroyed everything. He said something unforgivable. She built an empire out of spite. They haven't spoken a single word to each other since. Now, trapped in a relentless filming schedule that demands whispered confessions, longing gazes, and romantic blocking, they are forced to confront the wreckage of their past. As the undeniable tension between them begins to blur the line between performance and reality, Y/N must figure out how to apologize to a woman who refuses to look at him, and Karina must decide if her eight-year grudge is a shield protecting her heart-or the only thing keeping her from the one person who truly knows her. They say they have no chemistry. But lying to the cameras is easy; lying to themselves might be impossible.![»COMPLETED« Something Magical - Wendy x Male Reader [Red Velvet FF]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/271204342-256-k304172.jpg)
