I'm currently in my room, actually working on my laptop. Because tomorrow, I've got a meeting with my American clients, and I should be preparing for it. But my mind keeps wandering back to Lisa.

She gave an amazing interview today-confident, beautiful, everything I once fell in love with. But seeing her on that screen made my heart race uncontrollably.

Why is my heart beating so fast? This isn't normal. Am I on the verge of a heart attack? I shook my head, trying to snap out of it. I needed to distract myself, so I slammed the laptop shut and dialed Seulgi's number.

It took her a few seconds to pick up. "Seul."

"Yeah, what's up, Jen?" Her voice was casual, almost too casual.

"Seul, I'm sending you a resume right now. Contact this person and tell her to start tomorrow." My voice was sharp, trying to regain some control.

"Hmm, okay, got it. But listen, Jen, can we-ahh, wait-" Seulgi's voice cracked, followed by a faint moan.

I frowned. "Seul, are you in the middle of something? Are you...making love?"

"Yeah, kind of. Bye, Kim," she muttered quickly and hung up.

What the actual hell? Every time I call Seulgi when she's at home, she's either in the middle of or just finished making love. I can't figure out who's the hornier one-her or Irene. It's like I've got a front-row seat to their love life every time I try to talk business. Maybe I'm the one who needs to get laid... but then, why did Lisa's image just flash through my mind?

I leaned back in my chair, my eyes drifting over Lisa's resume. I couldn't help but linger on her photo. She's not just cute-she's stunning, with a beauty that's impossible to ignore. There's something about her that's so effortlessly captivating, something that draws me in like a magnet.

Is this what they call love at first sight? But how could it happen so quickly? I've always been so guarded, so careful with my heart. Falling for someone just isn't in the cards for me-or at least, it shouldn't be.

I tossed my phone onto the nightstand, trying to push these thoughts out of my mind. They were dangerous, leading me somewhere I didn't want to go. But no matter how hard I tried, Lisa's image was burned into my brain. I could feel my pulse quickening again.

Needing to escape, I got up and made my way to the bathroom, hoping a shower would wash away the confusing mix of emotions swirling inside me. As the water began to pour over me, I realized just how deep I was already in-without even meaning to be.

"Lili, don't stress. I'm sure they'll select you," my cousin P'Yaya said with a reassuring smile.

I pouted, feeling a mix of nerves and something else I couldn't quite name. "You know, she's even more gorgeous in person-hot, pretty, and so effortlessly handsome. But..."

I looked down, trying to push away the thoughts that were bothering me. P'Yaya, sitting next to me on the bed as we were watching Netflix together, gently tilted my chin up so I'd meet her eyes.

She gave me that look, the one that said she wasn't going to let me get away with half-truths. "Lili, but what?"

"She's married," I confessed, the words tasting bitter in my mouth.

P'Yaya's expression shifted. She pressed her lips together, raising an eyebrow before speaking. "Lili, getting attached to someone who's out of reach is just asking for heartbreak. I don't want to see you hurt, so please, don't let your mind wander too much about Jennie Kim. Just see her as your boss, nothing more. That way, you can protect yourself-and others-from unnecessary pain."

She held my gaze, her concern clear, but all I could think about was how impossible it was to just switch off my feelings.

Just then, my phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I quickly grabbed it and saw an unknown number flashing on the screen.

"Who's calling?" P'Yaya asked, noticing the look on my face.

I frowned, holding up the screen for her to see. "I don't know, it's an unknown number."

"Okay, don't answer it," P'Yaya advised.

But a thought rushed through my mind-what if it's Kim Empire? My heart skipped a beat, and before I could second-guess myself, I quickly answered the call but stayed silent, my breath catching in my throat.

"Lisa..." The voice on the other end sent my heart into overdrive. I knew exactly who it was.

I swallowed hard, my eyes darting to P'Yaya, who was giving me a look that screamed, Who is it? I managed to whisper, "Jennie..." before I remembered I was on the phone. I hurriedly corrected myself, "Y-Yes, Miss Kim?"

"Lisa, I've selected you. You can start your internship tomorrow," Jennie said, her voice as smooth as ever.

My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. Hearing my name in Jennie's voice made it sound even more beautiful. "O-Okay, Miss Kim. I'll j-join from tomorrow," I stammered, trying not to let the overwhelming emotions take over.

"Okay..." She paused, and I could feel the tension even through the phone. "Good night, Lisa."

"G-Good night, Miss Kim," I stuttered again, barely able to believe this was real.

The call ended, and for a few moments, I just sat there in shock. Jennie Kim had personally called me to let me know I was selected.

Then it finally hit me-I got selected! I looked at P'Yaya, eyes wide with excitement, and screamed, "I got selected!"

Before I knew it, I was up on my feet, jumping on the bed like a kid, my excitement bubbling over. P'Yaya watched me with a mix of amusement and joy, as I couldn't stop celebrating my unbelievable luck.

A smile crept onto my face as I hung up the call with Lisa. Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure why I decided to call her myself.

Or maybe...I just couldn't resist the urge to connect with that adorable creature again. There's something about her-so incredibly cute and beautiful, but also undeniably hot-that draws me in.

Even just thinking about her sends my heart into a frenzy.

But after hearing her voice, so soft and sweet, it's like a wave of calm washed over me, easing the tension I didn't even realize I was holding.

Why does she have this effect on me?

As I lay back on my bed, my thoughts kept circling back to her. The memory of our brief conversation played in my mind, and before I knew it, I was drifting off to sleep, a soft smile still tugging at my lips. The thought of seeing her again filled me with a strange mix of anticipation and curiosity.
