They grew up side by side - one always watching, the other never noticing. Years passed. Feelings changed. But some hearts love quietly... even when the other forgets how to love back. A childhood bond, a marriage of silence, and a love that refused to fade. In the spaces between what was felt and what was hidden, their story begins. A tale of promises never spoken, of a girl who waited... and another who forgot how warm it felt to be held. They say time changes everything. But what about the things that were never said? maybe G!P (not sure) ***This story is a work of fanfiction based on real public figures Lisa and Jennie. All original content belongs to the author.

Sometimes love doesn't start with words - it starts with a glance. Jennie Kim is one of Seoul's most brilliant lawyers - confident in the courtroom, shy everywhere else. To the world, she's sharp, composed, and fearless. But in private, she hides behind silence, afraid to be seen too closely. Lisa Manoban, a world-class cardiothoracic surgeon, is much the same. Calm under pressure, magnetic in the operating room - yet off duty, she's gentle, awkward, and unsure how to handle her own emotions. When a chance collision at a bookstore leads to a second meeting in a café, their quiet worlds begin to overlap. Jennie's hidden warmth meets Lisa's quiet strength. Two shy women, two lives perfectly contained - until eye contact becomes the language neither can ignore. "Shy Eyes" is a slow-burn romance for adults - tender, sensual, and deeply human. It's about the quiet between heartbeats, and the courage it takes to be seen.

One night in Bangkok. That's all it was supposed to be. Jennie Kim-ice-veined CEO of Korea's most powerful conglomerate-doesn't do reckless. She doesn't break rules, and she certainly doesn't break. But she did. For her. Lisa Manoban-charismatic, cocky, infuriatingly magnetic. A low-level developer with a smile that could start wars... and secrets that could end empires. Jennie never meant to see her again. Never meant to want more. Until Lisa walks into her boardroom. Cool. Unbothered. Dangerous. Jennie should fire her. Bury the night. Move on. But Lisa's collecting something-slowly, deliberately. Not power. Not titles. Jennie's attention. Her silence. Her control. One whispered command at midnight, one lingering look across a meeting room, and everything starts to unravel. Because Lisa isn't just anyone. And Jennie isn't used to being wanted like this. Not quietly. Not mercilessly. Not like she belongs to someone. And in the end- She might. Only question is... Who's really playing who?

Mommy Jennie 🖤 Lisa was just a broke, unlucky mess trying to survive-until she accidentally became a sugar baby to the most insufferably rich menace alive: Jennie Kim. Now, between expensive flights, contract loopholes, and dangerously close encounters, Lisa's sanity is hanging by a thread. The problem? Jennie enjoys pulling at that thread just to watch her unravel. © All Rights Reserved

By day, Lisa Manoban is the quiet, clumsy daughter of a billionaire, interning at Seoul's top luxury brand. Most people see her as a harmless rich girl playing dress-up in corporate attire. By night, she becomes LUNA, the masked and untouchable star of an exclusive underground club. She performs private shows, but no one is allowed to touch her. She is worshiped from a distance, and she likes it that way. Jennie Kim, the elegant and ruthless CEO, should have fired Lisa after her third mistake. Instead, she keeps her close, drawn to something she cannot quite explain. Jennie doesn't know that the intern she scolds at noon is the same woman she watches in secret at midnight. But in a city full of secrets and temptation, obsession has a way of revealing the truth. And when control begins to slip, both women will have to choose what they're willing to risk.

Jennie Kim liked red. Red lipstick. Red nails. Red ribbons in her drawer. She said it looked good on her - bold, clean, dangerous. Red stood out. Red got attention. Red made people look. And Jennie always liked being looked at. But red wasn't just a color to her. It was a feeling. Sharp. Hot. Uncontrolled. It was the way her chest tightened when someone touched what was hers. The way her smile faded when someone dared to ignore her. The way her eyes followed a quiet girl with cracked shoes and a sketchbook she didn't understand. Jennie Kim liked red. And maybe that's why, when she saw Lisa Manoban- She couldn't look away.

Jennie Kim's life had always been simple. Mornings behind the counter of her aunt's coffee shop, evenings spent buried in medical textbooks, and nights sitting by her father's hospital bed, whispering promises she wasn't sure she could keep. But everything changed the day her father's debts came knocking. Manoban Corp - a name that could silence entire boardrooms - held the chains to her father's failed company. And standing at the head of it all was Lisa Manoban: the cold, untouchable CEO with an empire at her feet and eyes that never betrayed a flicker of mercy. Jennie went to her office expecting rejection, maybe humiliation. She didn't expect an offer. "Be mine," Lisa said simply, as if it were the easiest transaction in the world. "A girlfriend for the cameras. In exchange, your father's debts disappear, and his hospital bills are taken care of." It was supposed to be a deal - insensitive, calculated, a cruel mockery of love. But deals have a way of blurring into something else when the heart becomes collateral. Jennie was smart enough to know better. She was cool enough to hide her trembling. But behind her brave eyes was the truth she could never admit: she was just a girl, soft and fragile, carrying a weight too heavy for her shoulders. And Lisa, who had never known what it meant to love, was about to learn that some exchanges can't be calculated. Because in the world of power and desperation, the only thing more dangerous than debt... was love itself.
