AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello readers! Given recent industry announcements, I want to be unequivocal: this is a fictional story. The "Jen" and "Lisa" and many others name in this tale are characters I've created for a narrative. They are not representations of the real-life idols. This is written for entertainment within the fan community. Thank you for understanding! Now, onto the story... IN HER DEFENCE Introduction Jennie Kim didn't believe in softness. Not in the courtroom, not in the office, not in herself. She was Seoul's most respected litigator by thirty, feared more than she was admired. Her heels never clicked twice down the same hallway, and her silence in a meeting could kill a career faster than a lost case. She didn't yell. She didn't plead. She simply looked - and people moved. The only thing she had less time for than inefficiency was idealism. So when her managing partner assigned her a final-year intern from Korea University - bright-eyed, book-taught, and ten minutes early for everything - Jennie barely looked up from her deposition notes. "Don't ask questions unless you already know the answers," she said without turning. "And don't try to impress me. I'm not here to be impressed." Lisa Manoban nodded once. Soft voice, steady gaze. "I'm not here to impress you," she said. "I'm here to learn." That was the first time Jennie looked at her - really looked. She wasn't loud, or eager, or trying too hard. She was just... still. Soft in a way Jennie didn't trust. The kind of softness that didn't bend to survive - it stayed, and waited, and watched. Jennie dismissed her with a nod, already forgetting the name. But something about the girl lingered long after she left the room. Like the quiet echo of a truth Jennie didn't want to hear.

Jennie Kim is a brilliant doctor - calm, composed, and completely uninterested in distractions. Her clinic runs like clockwork, her white coat is always crisp, and her heart? Completely off-limits. Then comes Lisa Manoban: chaotic, charming, and suspiciously accident-prone. One week it's a sore throat. The next, a bruised elbow from "tripping over nothing." Jennie is convinced Lisa's faking it. Lisa insists she's just following doctor's orders. But when Jennie finally confronts her about the weekly visits, Lisa just grins and says: "Well... you did tell me to come back if the symptoms got worse." Turns out, she wasn't talking about a cold - she was talking about a crush. Now Jennie has a problem. Because the patient she tried so hard to ignore might be the one person who makes her heartbeat skip for real. A slow-burn, feel-good rom-com filled with fake injuries, real feelings, and one very persistent patient who might just cure the doctor's cold heart.

Jennie kim is a blind woman who has grown up with the constant mistreatment and belittlement from her parents and servants. They take pleasure in laughing at her expense. However, her life takes a sudden and unexpected turn when she is welcomed into the manoban family by the most glorious son, Lisa manoban, carried in a palanquin. Despite her confusion on why Lisa would want to marry her, as it couldn't be love at first sight, she is grateful for the respect and kindness he shows her. Not only did Lisa give her respect as a human, but he also held and protected her. He would support her in time before she fell, and patiently removed small fishbones for her. He would hug her, kiss her occasionally, and never scold her. As a blind person, there is only so much you can do. So after getting married, she lets go of her restraint and thought about raising children for Lisa to repay his kindness. But Lisa refused to consummate their marriage. ... Minutes later, she was being pushed into the lotus pond as she thought: 'Forget it, he pities me and cherishes me, but it is not love'. Opening her eyes, Jennie went back three years ago. ... In her new life, during her wedding night, she accidentally touched the candles, and made a pained groaned as Lisa came out of the tub in a panic after hearing the sound. Seeing the waterfall-like long hair of her "Good Husband" and the graceful and hot body that cannot be concealed by his snow-white underwear, Jennie trembled physically and mentally, blushed and felt hot, and soon realized... • JENLISA ADAPTATION • © This is a work of adaption.

"She has no magic. No beast form. No reason to survive." But she walked into their world anyway. At Kim Academy, everyone is something more: a shapeshifter, a siren, a dragon, a god-blooded heir. Everyone... except her. Lalisa Manoban, a 23-year-old scholar from Thailand, is the only human ever accepted into the most elite academy of supernatural beings. No claws. No wings. No legacy. Just intelligence, heart, and one quiet dream - to meet her idol: Jennie Kim. But Jennie isn't who Lisa imagined. Cold, powerful, and feared even by the strongest, Jennie Kim rules the academy like a queen with fire in her veins and ice in her heart. She doesn't believe in weakness - especially not love.

One queen with too much. In a world where beasts reign - Can one human survive love? ---

"She was falling... and I chose to catch her." Lalisa Manoban is an innocent alpha siren, born in the depths of the sea. Gentle, kind, and forbidden to interfere with the human world, she follows the sacred laws passed down by her ancestors. Until the night Jennie Kim-a beautiful, powerful heiress with a shattered heart and too much wine in her veins-falls off her luxury yacht and into the ocean's arms. Lisa saves her. And for that, the sea punishes her. Cast out from the ocean and turned into a human, Lisa is silent, confused, and utterly fascinated by the woman she saved. But Jennie? She's dangerous. Cold.

As the university's queen bee, she's used to being admired, feared, and never truly seen. But everything begins to unravel when she meets Lalisa Manoban, a silent, mysterious transfer student who seems immune to Jennie's charm. Lisa keeps to herself, speaking only when necessary, and trusting no one except her best friend Jisoo. She's brilliant and guarded-haunted by a past she doesn't talk about and a secret that makes her different in a world that demands conformity. Jennie's interest starts as a challenge, but between cruel teasing and stolen glances, it turns into something neither of them know how to name. Then one night changes everything. A kiss filled with confusion. A secret too fragile to survive exposure. A goodbye that came without warning. And Lisa disappeared. Years later, Jennie is no longer just the queen bee-she's the COO of Kim Corp, known for her poise, her strategy, and the ache she never let anyone see. Except when things get too hard, too loud, too heavy-she still whispers a word only she remembers. Peupeu. A name. A comfort. A lullaby. The only thing that ever made her feel safe. When a merger brings Lisa back into her life as the powerful CEO of L.M. Group, Jennie is forced to face everything she tried to bury. Lisa is colder now, unreadable, and unaware that Jennie never truly let go. And unaware that Jennie is raising the children Lisa never knew they had. chances. Because Lisa didn't just leave Jennie. She left behind the one name that Jennie still clings to when no one is listening. Peupeu.
