    This is definitely it! It's a strong-willed, dual-protagonist entertainment industry novel. The protagonist is an actor, and the other is a singer. The protagonist tutored the other when he was in high school. The protagonist was adopted by a man with a disability in both legs and some psychological issues [he and his bodyguard are a couple]. The man is quite controlling, and the protagonist single-handedly breaks free from his shackles. He then returns to date the other [they got together during tutoring, but later broke up with him for fear of hurting him, and the story begins with him pursuing the other]. It's definitely a strong-willed, dual-protagonist novel, and they both suffer terribly, especially the protagonist, who is incredibly pitiful. The author's writing is also superb; I've been following their updates closely. Come read it with me! 💕
