After five years of being by his side, Y/N thought she had learned how to live with it, the quiet, aching kind of love that San never seemed to notice. But things change. San has a girlfriend now. And suddenly, Y/N isn’t the first person he looks for anymore. Not the one he sits next to. Not the one he laughs with. Just… there. So when a night of drinks, laughter, and stupid party games turns into something else when Mingi corners her on the balcony with knowing eyes and a dangerous kind of softness, Y/N doesn’t stop him. Maybe she just wants to forget. Maybe she wants to feel wanted. Or maybe she wants San to finally notice what he’s about to lose.
A year after their breakup, Y/N hears a track produced by her ex San on ATEEZ’s new album and realizes the lyrics reference one of the last days they shared as a couple. As fans begin decoding the song online, she has to decide whether to stay silent, confront him, or protect the truth before it’s exposed.
Y/N and her boyfriend had been together for more than 3 years. Had been. After one Saturday night, that changes. She’s broken up with. The first person she calls? Her best friend Mingi. And what does he suggest? To immediately come over.
Keeho isn’t supposed to look like this. Not when you first notice him at 2:17 a.m., tucked into the corner of a quiet convenience store, hoodie pulled low, a cup of instant coffee sitting untouched in front of him. You don’t recognize him right away, just another tired stranger, shoulders slumped like the night’s pressing too hard.
Everyone assumes you and San are practically attached at the hip. Years of backstage conversations, midnight phone calls, matching habits picked up from each other without noticing, it all felt dangerously close to something more. At least to him. So when you casually mention your boyfriend over dinner, San can only stare at you across the table, smile frozen in place, wondering when exactly he lost the chance to tell you first.
You and Chan have been dating for a year now. You’re used to his schedule being busy, making intimate times rare and cherished. It’s been a few weeks since the last time and now that it’s time to get your period, it doesn’t come. A test confirms your worst fear. You’re pregnant and he’s going on tour.
Y/N invites her best friend Chan to a family gathering, not expecting anything more than the usual chaos. But as she watches him laugh and play with her nieces and cousins, fitting into her world so perfectly, she realizes she’s fallen for him. The timing couldn’t be worse, Chan has just gotten a girlfriend, and now Y/N is stuck between keeping her feelings hidden or risking the one person she can’t afford to lose.
a anonymous instragram message sent in the middle of the night sets of a long long and hard way of finding out who the man with the handsome hands and pretty body is
Y/N just wanted a little fun, few drink to get almost black out drunk and people watch. But when a mysterious, way too handsome stranger slides into the chair next to hers at the bar, she’s mentally setting her a different goal.
Every evening at 7:12, he’s already there. Same corner of the gym. Same heavy weights. Same intense, almost intimidating expression reflected in the mirror. Y/N tries not to look but it’s hard not to notice him. Everyone else in the gym seems to keep their distance. San never talks. Never smiles. Y/N tells herself it doesn’t mean anything until they start showing up a little earlier. Just in case. San has never said a word to her. Not until the day Y/N nearly drops a weight and he catches it like it’s nothing.
Nobody understands why you and Hyunjin hate each other so much — or why neither of you can seem to stay away. What starts as a secret friends-with-benefits arrangement built on arguments, jealousy, and unresolved tension slowly spirals into something far messier, until the line between hatred and obsession becomes impossible to ignore.
Moving to Korea for a new career opportunity, you begin working as an international staff coordinator at JYPE.
