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... "The Space Between" They say marriage is a promise. A choice. A vow you speak once, and then remember every day after. Jennie Kim and Lalisa Manoban have been married for three years. Secretly. Quietly. Without ceremony, without applause. What began as fierce, reckless love-midnight drives, whispered I love you's between courtrooms and trauma wards-has turned into something colder. They still live together. Still sleep side by side. But the silence between them is louder than ever. No one knows they're wives. Not their friends. Not their families. Some days, they wonder if they even are anymore. This isn't a story about falling in love. It's a story about what comes after. The loneliness of staying. The bravery of leaving. And the question that haunts every marriage: What if love isn't enough?

One woman is trying to move on; the other is going crazy trying to hold on. It is a story about how hard it is to let go of a love that feels like home.
