Light enters a camera the way it enters a person- Carefully or not at all.
Juno was taught to watch before she was taught to speak.
To hold a shutter open just long enough
to catch what most people miss:
the second before the smile,
the flinch before the calm settles back over a face.
He was taught the opposite -
to say everything, and mean none of it,
until the day he didn't.
They meet in a room full of other people's noise
and somehow hear each other anyway.
An aperture doesn't create the light.
It only decides how much of it
you're allowed to keep.

The Caregiver | Michael Jackson AU
Michael Jackson is searching for someone to care for his children while preparing for another studio album. Not a nanny, a mentor. Y/n is overqualified, painfully ambitious, and far too arrogant to accept an ordinary job after graduating university. So when she discovers a private caregiving position with an absurd salary, she applies immediately. She expects spoiled children, an absent employer, and easy money. What she doesn't expect is Michael Jackson himself. And Michael quickly realizes the infuriating young woman he hired may be the only person in years who refuses to be intimidated by him.

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.

"I thought I'd come back to love you. But every part of me now screams to destroy you, Park." "And you know what hurts the most?" "You look even colder than I remembered - like I never meant a damn thing." "That's because you didn't." "You were a student, Min Yoongi. A brilliant one - but a child chasing things he couldn't handle." "You left. I stayed. That's the difference between us." "So if you're here to fight me, do it like a doctor - not a boy with a broken heart." The past and the present. Enimies? Nah Lover's? Nah It's lover's to Enimies, Enimies to lover's. The story is different. The characters have changed. But the love? It still hurts the same. SLOW BURN Professor wifey 2 as Heal my heart. Both FF are not connected with each other.
