Lalisa Manoban is doing fine. Sure, she's not doing as fine as her ex―award-winning actress and current television It Girl, Jennie Kim―but Lisa enjoys her work as a Federal Air Marshal and also enjoys almost being over Jennie walking out on their relationship months ago. Until Jennie is seated next to her on a flight, and the emotional progress Lisa thought she'd made is reset in an instant. Just like their first flight together, this one also has some bumps. But this time they don't have to make a go around for a safe landing; they just have to deal with an overzealous fan threatening Jennie. And when Jennie comes begging for a place to stay until the stalker situation is resolved, Lisa has to agree it's the perfect solution to keep Jennie safe. After all, nobody knows Jennie Kim used to have a girlfriend. It's only for a few weeks, what's the harm? Except for some tiny issues, like when you're still kind of in love with your ex and the mutual spark is as strong as ever, it's easy to fall into familiar habits. Then there's Jennie's apologies and genuine regret over leaving, which makes it hard for Lisa to hold on to past hurts and sends her simmering emotions to a boil. But love and sparks aren't always enough. If Lisa and Jennie can find a way to move past everything that came between them last time, maybe they'll get a chance to go around and try landing their relationship again. After all, the heart wants what it wants.

Lisa Manoban, a struggling artist, found solace every day in sketching a beautiful building under construction. For some reason, she was drawn to it, and it made her paints come alive. On the day she planned to finish her painting, the Pride parade was in town. But a run-in between her tray of paints and a petite goddess in a Chanel suit with intimidating feline eyes sent Lisa bolting for safety. Jennie Kim had never wanted someone the way she wanted the tall, blonde, doe-eyed beauty. One unexpected encounter sent her searching every inch of the city for Lisa. She might be able to hide, but not for long. Jennie would make her say the three words-eight letters-"I am yours," no matter what.

When sharp-minded lawyer Lisa Manoban accepts a meeting at the Kim estate, she expects a routine legal consultation - not a seat at a matchmaking luncheon. A single mix-up turns a professional visit into an awkward encounter with Jennie Kim, the elusive heiress of the Kim conglomerate, who believes Lisa is one of the suitors her grandmother handpicked. Jennie, tired of shallow affections and people chasing her fortune, has been pretending to be wheelchair-bound to expose those with insincere intentions. But Lisa's calm indifference and blunt honesty throw her off balance. Lisa isn't impressed by money, nor is she playing along with anyone's game - especially not when she's roped into one against her will. What begins as a misunderstanding soon becomes something far more complicated. Between corporate secrets, family expectations, and a grandmother's relentless scheming, Jennie and Lisa find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither anticipated. In a world built on appearances and contracts, The Case of Miss Kim asks what happens when sincerity becomes the most binding agreement of all.

If you only knew.

Lisa Manoban stood at the center of Jennie Kim's world-and Jennie, unknowingly, still held that place in Lisa's heart. They loved hard, young and wild, in a world that demanded masks and silence. Somewhere between crowded schedules and whispered arguments, their relationship slipped through the cracks. Jennie moved on, or so it seemed. But Lisa never really let go. Now, from the shadows of sold-out concerts and behind anonymous usernames, Lisa watches Jennie shine brighter than ever. She's no longer the girl at her side, but she's still the loudest cheer in the crowd-unseen, unheard, yet unfailingly present. To Jennie, Lisa is a closed chapter. To Lisa, Jennie is still the story. And Jennie has no idea her biggest fan... is her ex.

"A lie so perfect, it felt like love - until it broke them both." ⸻ ✨ Opening Line Jennie Kim never believed in fairy tales - but tonight, in a crowded hotel restaurant, she needed a miracle so badly she was willing to steal it from a stranger's arms.

"In a hospital where everything is monitored, some heartbeats still go unnoticed." At Asan Medical Center, where ambition slices sharper than scalpels and every glance is a clinical risk, a guarded cardiac attending and a rule-breaking neurosurgery resident navigate surgical rounds, hallway gossip, and their dangerously growing connection-while trying to keep everything strictly professional. At its heart is Dr. Jennie Kim-a brilliant, ice-cool cardiac attending whose surgical precision is matched only by her legendary emotional restraint. Opposite her is Dr. Lisa Manoban, a rising neurosurgery resident with swagger, sharp instincts, and a reputation for breaking rules and expectations alike. As surgical rounds, trauma cases, and late-night call shifts bring their worlds into increasingly charged proximity, the line between professional and personal begins to blur. Surrounded by nosy colleagues, complicated friendships, and rivalries wrapped in white coats, Jennie and Lisa must navigate the tension, the gossip, and the heartbeat between them-all without slipping up. Packed with banter, high-stakes medicine, unspoken glances, and hallway heat, Code Red: Hearts in Scrubs is a slow-burn love story disguised as hospital drama-intense, classy, and just a scalpel's edge away from exposure.

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?

> Some desires wear the face of love-until they ruin you. She has everything: power, beauty, control. But what happens when the one thing she wants refuses to be tamed? In a world full of secrets, ambition, and dangerously blurred lines, three lives collide in a story where love isn't safe-it's a weapon. How far would you go to keep the one thing you can't have? This is a collaboration with my friend @ninibaras L gp!.
