Fluffy One shot (ONLY)

Lisa Manoban is a woman who built her life on control. Cold, calculated, and untouchable in the business world, she has no room for mistakes-especially not in her personal life. As a single mother, she raises her five-year-old daughter, Ella, with strict boundaries and carefully chosen words. Including one lie, "Your mommy is just working far away." Ella never questioned it. She simply smiled, waited... and believed. Sweet, kind, and full of warmth, Ella grows up with a heart big enough to love even the absence of someone she has never met. Jennie Kim, on the other hand, lives a life filled with noise, laughter, and chaos. The youngest and only daughter among five siblings, she grew up surrounded by love-messy, loud, imperfect love. Despite the struggles of a simple life, Jennie carries warmth everywhere she goes, working as a waitress and part-time mascot just to help her family. Until one ordinary afternoon, A child runs. A mother panics. A stranger falls. And in the middle of it all... A single word changes everything. "Mommy!" In a moment of innocence, Ella wraps her arms around a stranger and calls her the one thing she has been missing her whole life. Now, Jennie is pretending. Lisa is allowing it. And Ella is believing every second of it. But what happens when pretend starts to feel real and no one wants to let go?

Now, Lisa is standing at the altar in Seoul, ready to say "I do" to a woman she doesn't love, while Jennie is thousands of miles away, kneading dough in a quiet bakery alongside the canals of Amsterdam. But promises have a funny way of demanding to be kept-especially when a heartbreaking betrayal sends Lisa fleeing into the unknown.

Jennie Kim was in her third year at Chung-Ang University, the crown jewel of their two-time national cheerleading champions. She carried the weight of the title "captain" with pride-grace in every stunt, fire in every chant, and a presence that could command a stadium. It was during the first rivalry match of the new season that she saw her. Across the field, framed by the fever-bright floodlights and the roar of the crowd, moved a girl with an aura that didn't belong to a newcomer. Too gorgeous. Too skilled. Too certain of her place. Then the whispers reached Jennie-she was a freshman. Not just that-a freshman captain for Korea University's soccer team. Unheard of. Curiosity slid into her veins like a sudden fever. Lisa Manoban felt the weight of the stare before she found its source. When her eyes finally locked onto Jennie, the stadium around them faded into a hum. She wasn't supposed to be distracted-not in the middle of a heated match, not by someone on the sidelines-but the Chung-Ang captain was something else entirely. Beauty sharpened by grit, elegance wrapped in steel. In that instant, the air between them shifted. Two leaders. Two rivals. Two sparks striking in the middle of a war drum's beat. Would the rivalry douse the fire before it could burn? Or had fate already decided it didn't matter? And in this rivalry, compelling can be even more dangerous than skill.
