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

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.

He hasn't made music in years. She's a former idol trying to find her place in the world. Both of them are lost in their own ways, until they meet. Between late-night songs, long texts, and walks along the Han River, they start to rediscover themselves through each other. But as their paths forward begin to take shape, they realize that navigating the pressures of their careers, and growing up along the way, might be harder than either of them expected. ! Hi this is my first story ever. It'll be a fluff story about a male reader (but I try to keep it as gender neutral as possible so hypothetically it could be a female reader!) and a blooming romance with Kim Chaewon. It will probably be a slow burn ish story without too much drama. More slice of life style :) Hope you enjoy! - - - - - Peaks: #1 Chaewon #1 KimChaewon #47 sliceoflife #7lesserafim #115 kpop

Red Wire (Karina x Male Reader)
Some threats are meant to scare people. Others are meant to send a message. After a series of anonymous bomb threats begin targeting major K-pop events across South Korea, the government quietly launches a covert operation to prevent public panic before the industry collapses into fear. Y/N, a bomb disposal specialist known for his cold precision and silence under pressure, is assigned undercover inside SM Entertainment as a technical risk consultant. His mission is simple: protect aespa, identify the source of the threats, and stop the next attack before thousands die. But inside the exhausting cycle of rehearsals, sold-out arenas, flashing cameras, and sleepless nights, the operation becomes far more complicated than expected. Especially when Karina starts noticing things no one else does. The way he memorizes exits before entering rooms. The way he watches crowds instead of performances. The way he never looks relieved after surviving. And somewhere between near-misses, late-night rehearsals, and the quiet moments neither of them were supposed to keep, the distance between protector and protected slowly begins to disappear. As the threats grow closer to becoming real attacks, the line between duty and attachment begins to blur. And while Seoul prepares for its biggest year-end festival, someone behind the scenes seems determined to turn every step of the investigation into a countdown. In a world built on performance, survival might be the most dangerous role of all.![Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/157195452-256-k119117.jpg)
Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"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.

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.
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.

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.
