Back in the bookshop near Seoul School, Lisa sat behind the cash register, scrolling on her phone reading news while Rosé was lost in a romance book.

As the owner of a bookshop, Rosé had free rein to explore all the books she wanted.

That was the perk for doing what she loved for a living.

Rosé had read almost all the romance novels in the shop.

At times, Lisa would tease by asking Rosé to become a writer since she had always enjoyed a good chick lit.

"Lily, the main characters of this story got married at first sight too."

As she put down the book,Jasmine added with a smile," Just like you."

Lisa was fixated on Rosé.

"Lots of people got married after dating shortly. Well , you did say that the female character of that book blindly married a billionaire. My husband is only a wage earner."

Even though Jungkook was a senior white-collar worker in a major group, he was working for someone.

"You might want to cut down on reading. I think the stories are getting way over your head. You'll never find Mr. Right because you'd compare the male leads to the men you meet in real life. The irresistible men in your books only exist in fiction."

Rarely were there young, attractive, wealthy, and devoted CEOs in real life.

Rosé whined, "Why aren't you intrigued by the hottest gossip of the year? It's the sister of Kim Group's CEO. His only sister. Kim Group's only second to Jeon Corporation in Seoul. However, the two giants don't seem to be on good terms. I can't believe Jennie has a thing for young Mr. Jeon. I admire Jennie's bravery and confidence to profess her feelings and go after the man!"

Lisa put a damper on her spirits.

"We were talking about Mr. Jeon swinging the other way the last time. Ms. Kim won't have her feelings reciprocated. We could probably see a more optimistic result if Mr. Kim went after him instead."

Rosé was lost for words. Mr. Kim was married, and the wedding stirred a TL sensation in the Seoul community.

The couple was very much in love.

Mr. Kim made a name for himself in Seoul as someone who would give his wife everything Rosé believed Mr. Kim was a real-life character out of the romance novels - young, handsome, and rich.

"It would be a shame for Ms. Kim if Mr. Jeon plays for the other team."

Rosé added regrettably, "That would be a disappointing result now that someone had the prowess to woo Mr. Jeon. Speaking of which, do you think the heir swings the other way?"

Lisa replied amusedly, "How would I know?"

It was only their suspicion, but of course, Mr. Jeon's sexual orientation would be determined should he accept and marry Ms. Kim.

Nevertheless, what did it have to do with Lisa? The hottest gossip, even if it was about Mr. Jeon, was not worthy of Lisa's time. Rosé, however, loved getting into it.
