Summary
When SM pairs Karina and Winter for a duo showcase during aespa's hiatus, two women who were once each other's closest person are forced to rebuild a working relationship across the wreckage of one they never properly ended.
A story about the love we take for granted until it is lost, and the struggle to fight for it back.
—
"You called me Jimin," she says.Winter goes very still.
The silence stretches.
Not the silence of someone caught-it is the silence of someone who threw a stone into water and is watching the rings expand, deciding whether to pretend they did not throw it.
Her eyes drop, briefly, to Karina's mouth, then back up.
"Everyone calls you Jimin," she says, eventually. "Managers. Staff. Fans."
"Not you," Karina says, before she can stop herself.
"No," she agrees. "Not me."

Summary
A grin tugs at Aeri’s lips as she pulls them into a casual hug, pushing the girl closer to her chest. Chaewon comes up to her collar and it’s so easy for Aeri to rest her chin on top of the girl’s head. She does so.
Hands bunch up the fabric of Aeri’s shirt, but she doesn’t care when Chaewon’s face begins to resemble the color of a tomato.
“What is it?”
“...can I come over later?”
Aeri blinks at the question. Usually, Chaewon would just come over unannounced. But sure, why not? She nods and stays still as the younger girl begins to detach. There’s a moment where they linger, unsure whether to hug again in goodbye or just wave. And Aeri notices the way Chaewon’s gaze flicks down to her lips, darting back to her eyes with something dark flickering in them.

Summary
And Jimin loves being used. She notices that, too, how it tugs at her tummy when she degrades her own self to nothing but a toy in her mind, how disposed she is to being at Winter’s absolute will.
Ridiculously, she thinks, Jimin is persuaded by her best friend to open up a dating profile after making the mistake of telling her that she’s still a virgin at the ripe age of 25. While the one-night-stand she ends up having as a result is mindblowing, there’s something off about it; like the 5-star hotel where it happens, or the bodyguard that welcomes her in, or the NDA said bodyguard has her sign—or the fact that she sees her mysterious hook-up’s face on a billboard the next day.
or: Yu Jimin loses her virginity to Kim Minjeong, who—unbeknownst to her—turns out to be the top soloist in South Korea.

“Do you have an admirer?” Jimin asks as she patiently waits between the mailroom and the elevators and the lobby, her eyes trained on the pink letter in Minjeong’s hand.
“Something like that.” Minjeong says as she opens the letter and reads it, her eyes darting through the passage as a small smile twists her lips. She angles the content away from Jimin, not wanting her to see what’s inside. It’s a handwritten note along with some photos. “I’ve been getting them for a few weeks now. Can’t manage to find out who it is.”
