Sometimes all we need is a second chance, because time wasn't ready for the first one. Jennie wasn't ready. She wasn't ready to expose everything. She is not ready to let go of everything that she worked hard for to reach the things she have right now. And because of it, she never realize the things that are slipping away from her grasp. She wasn't aware that the one person she loves, slowly walking away from her. Lisa is walking away from her. And chance is her only hope. Will she ever bring back everything, if she's going to ask '𝓞𝓷𝓮 𝓜𝓸𝓻𝓮 𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮'?

BOOK 2 of One More Chance I'll wish upon every shooting star that I might end up where you are. And I'll pray and hope that someday, the stars will align again and make our paths cross once more.

"If you still want to be with me, I'll stay by your side..." Lisa firmly said, her voice steady but heavy with unspoken emotions, as if she were standing on the precipice of a life-altering decision. Jennie blinked, caught off guard. Her breath hitched in her throat, and she struggled to gather her thoughts. "H-Huh?" she stammered, a whirlwind of nerves churning inside her. "Do you still have feelings for me?" Lisa asked, her gaze piercing through Jennie with an honesty that left no room for evasion. "W-What?" "Do you still like me, Jennie?" In that moment, time seemed to stand still. Jennie's heart raced, each beat echoing in her ears like a distant drum. Fear and hope collided within her, creating a tempest of emotion. After a moment that felt like an eternity, she nodded, breathless. "Yes." Lisa held her gaze, the silence stretching between them as if the weight of their shared history hung in the air. Finally, she spoke, her tone resolute. "I regret it, Jennie..." "What do you mean?" Jennie's confusion deepened. ...I regret the time we've wasted apart... "Let's be together," Lisa declared, her voice unwavering. "I don't need you to do anything. I don't need you to promise me forever or to stand by me without fail. If the day comes when you want to leave me...when you want to walk away, then let's part ways. But right now, at this moment, let's choose to be together." After ten long years of searching and thousands of miles of being alone, it turns out... ...the only thing Lisa truly wanted was to be with Jennie. ••• This is merely an adaptation.

Just scholarships, late nights, and a part-time job at a small coffee shop to survive another semester in architecture school. Everything she has, she built herself. ⸻ They were never supposed to meet. One lives in glass towers. The other in quiet corners of the city. One commands the world. The other simply endures it. ⸻ But when Lisa steps into Jennie's world- She doesn't bow. She doesn't try to impress. She doesn't even seem afraid. And that... is new. ⸻ Because Jennie is used to control. But Lisa? Lisa doesn't resist. She simply... doesn't yield. ⸻ It starts small. A conversation that doesn't follow Jennie's rules. A gaze that doesn't look away. A presence that refuses to shrink. And suddenly- Jennie Kim, who owns everything- finds herself facing someone who cannot be owned. ⸻ Lisa doesn't chase her. Doesn't need her. Doesn't try to belong in her world. And somehow- that's exactly why Jennie can't let her go. ⸻ This was never part of the plan. And for the first time in her life- Jennie doesn't know how to fix it. DISCLAIMER This is a fictional work created for entertainment purposes only.

The night Seoul crowned its newest fashion queen was also the night two hearts broke without warning. Inside the penthouse suite of K-House, the city glittered beneath Jennie Kim's heels. her smile precise - everything about her immaculate except the tremor in her voice when she whispered, "Tell me it's not true." Lisa didn't answer. She stood by the window, shoulders soaked from the rain, eyes carrying a kind of silence that begged to be believed. "It wasn't what you think," she said finally, low and breaking. "Jennie, please-" "Don't." Jennie's voice cut through the room like a blade. "You think I'll stand here and pretend you didn't lie to me? That you didn't use me to get ahead?" Lisa's jaw clenched. "You really think so little of me." "I think exactly what you showed me." Jennie's words were cruel, but her fingers trembled as they gripped the wine glass. "You disappeared in the middle of my show, Lisa. You knew how much tonight meant. And you were with her." Lisa stepped forward. "She's a client, Jennie! I told you-" "Enough!" The glass shattered against the floor. Wine bled into the marble like spilled blood. Lisa froze. For a heartbeat, there was only the sound of rain and Jennie's ragged breathing. Then came the whisper, soft but fatal: "Leave. Tonight. I don't want to see you again." Lisa's throat closed. "You don't mean that." Jennie met her eyes - the same eyes she'd once kissed beneath studio lights, the same eyes she used to call home - and said it anyway. "I do." For a moment, neither moved. Then Lisa picked up her coat, silent tears caught in the reflection of the window, and walked toward the door. She stopped once, hand on the handle. "If I leave now," she said, "I won't come back." Jennie didn't answer. Pride was louder than love. The door closed. ⸻ Seven years later, she'll see those eyes again. And everything she buried will rise to the surface.
