Kang Y/N was never someone who wanted attention. While others chased dreams, fame, and recognition, he lived a quiet life built around routine. Wake up. Work. Protect others. Go home. After losing the only family he had, Y/N learned how to survive alone. The only things he kept from his past were the lessons his father taught him - discipline, control, and the strength to protect those who cannot protect themselves. During his final year of high school, a simple night working at a café changes everything. After stepping in to help a woman during a dangerous situation, Y/N catches the attention of someone from HYBE who sees something in him that even he doesn't see. Soon, Kang Y/N finds himself entering a world he never imagined being part of. The world of idols. As the manager and personal security support for LE SSERAFIM, Y/N becomes the person who keeps everything together. He cooks their meals. He cleans their dorm. He manages their schedules. He protects them when things go wrong. He remembers the little things everyone else forgets. But every time the day ends, Y/N disappears. Because behind the calm expression, quiet voice, and endless patience is a past he refuses to share. To the members, Kang Y/N is the person they can always rely on. But they don't know the truth. They don't know why he lives like he has nobody. They don't know why he trains alone late at night. They don't know why he never talks about his family. And they don't know that the person who built a home for them... Never had one himself. As Kim Chaewon and the members of LE SSERAFIM slowly get closer to the mysterious manager who always puts everyone else first, they begin to uncover the story of the person behind the silence. A story about loneliness. A story about healing. A story about finding a family when you thought you lost yours. Because sometimes... The person who says the least is the one carrying the most.

Jeanne Beadux is just a pretty average protagonist, living on her own after moving to Yokohama because of her parents that aren't even living with her. She goes to school to experience bullying and somehow ends up getting a job at a cafe, and like every average anime protagonist she gets into more trouble than she already has. After finding out she is working under a dangerous agency, they take interest in her - but not for the reasons you think. Why are her parents not home all the time? (I mean, they do need an excuse) what ability may she have or not have? Why did the agency take interest in her? Read to find out more!! This is my first book, this may be confusing, but I shall try my best! Btw, this takes place in bsd, bungo stray dogs. There will be no romance of any kind for the reason that I have no idea how to write it... And the main character is a minor. This fic doesn't have a good cover because the author isn't good in finding one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Some people collect memories. Eliana Hale collects flowers. Pressed between the pages of worn-out books are tiny reminders that life is still worth noticing. A daisy from the day she found a place to call home. Lavender from an unexpected act of kindness. A sunflower from the moment her heart began to feel something it had forgotten. To everyone around her, Eliana is sunshine. She smiles easily, finds beauty in ordinary moments, and believes even the smallest kindness can change someone's day. What no one knows is that every smile has been carefully built on years of pain she thought she'd finally escaped. Then she meets Rowan Hayes. Quiet, guarded, and carrying grief of his own, Rowan has spent years convincing himself that keeping people at a distance is safer than letting them in. But somehow, Eliana slips through the cracks in the walls he's spent so long building. As their lives become intertwined, old wounds begin to resurface, and the past Eliana left behind threatens the future she's worked so hard to create. Together, they'll discover that healing isn't about forgetting what broke you. Sometimes, it's about finding someone willing to help you carry it. A tender story about hope, quiet love, and the extraordinary beauty hidden in ordinary days. -------------- Grumpy x Sunshine Started: 30.07.26 Finished: On hold
