A little less than a lover, maybe. A Jennie-centric one shot.

Park Roseanne has always known exactly what her future looks like. As the Executive Director of Park Holdings and the only heir to one of Korea's influential business families, her life has been shaped by responsibility, expectation, and duty. At the end of every exhausting day, she returns to Jennie-the woman who has quietly become her home. For three years, their relationship has been steady, certain, and filled with the kind of comfort Roseanne never finds anywhere else. Then Park Holdings begins preparing its most ambitious art exhibition yet, placing Roseanne in an unexpected partnership with Bae Suzy, one of Korea's most celebrated painters. One woman gives her peace. Another quietly challenges the way she sees the world. Neither asks her to choose. But life has a way of asking questions no one is ever prepared to answer. In the end, this isn't a story about choosing between two women. It's a story about duty and dreams... about the people who shape us... and about the quiet roads that lead us back to ourselves. A slowburn romance about love, family, sacrifice, healing, and the unexpected ways people change.

Jennie struggles after her break up with Rosé, which ultimately leads to the demise of Blackpink, as well. When Jennie meets Rosé after more than a year later, will all of the progress she made come crumbling down around her? Or is she finally strong enough to handle Rosé being back in her life? Read the story to find out!

[chaennie fanfic, slight Lisoo, Topse, GP] Some people fall in love slowly. Others do it at dangerous speeds.

Jennie Kim, the cold and ruthless 29-year-old heiress of the powerful Kim family, never planned on marriage. But her grandfather-her only family since her parents' death-had one final wish: for her to settle down before she turned thirty. Accepting her sexuality without question, he chose Roseanne Park, a 22-year-old law student from a respected but far less wealthy family in Australia, and the granddaughter of his oldest friend. For Roseanne, the summons to Korea was sudden and mysterious. She agreed only for her grandfather's sake, never imagining she'd marry the most desired woman in Seoul. Their wedding, though meant to be private, became the talk of the nation-shocking the public not only with its speed, but with the revelation that the gorgeous CEO had taken a wife. Now forced to share a room under her grandfather's watchful eye, Jennie remains distant and icy, while Roseanne's warmth and confusion clash against the wall her wife has built. Everyone envies Roseanne for winning Jennie's hand... but no one knows the truth of life behind closed doors.

A poignant story about the complexities of love and timing, following Chaeyoung and Jennie as they navigate their evolving relationship. As their paths cross again after difficult decisions, both struggle with the weight of their feelings, leading to moments of heartache and reflection. The story explores the deep emotional impact of choices, longing, and the lingering echoes of a love that might never be fully realized. Inspired by Camila Cabello's song, "Feel It Twice" :) (Idea from @highoffandrea)

Jennie Kim and Rosie Park grew up together. Their families were inseparable, their childhoods intertwined, and for years they were best friends. Until they weren't. As they grew older, they drifted apart, Jennie becoming controlled and disciplined, Rosie sharp-tongued and fiercely independent. Same age, same history, but completely different people. So when their families announce an arranged marriage between them, it's supposed to be simple. A practical agreement. A business decision. Except marrying your childhood best friend, the one you haven't really understood in years, is anything but simple. Between old memories, stubborn arguments, and a spark neither of them expected... Jennie and Rosie might discover that the person they were meant to marry was never a stranger at all.

Two families built on power, legacy, and old resentment were never meant to intertwine. Roseanne Park and Jennie Kim grow up knowing exactly who they are supposed to avoid, and exactly why. Their families clash in boardrooms, reputations, and history, drawing lines neither side is willing to cross. But Jennie cannot stop. She cannot stop choosing Roseanne, cannot stop protecting her, loving her, centering her, even when it risks everything Jennie has been raised to inherit. As danger closes in and the past refuses to stay buried, Jennie learns that devotion is not gentle, and love is not safe. It is defiant. It is consuming. And it is worth burning every bridge her family ever built.

"Who's that?" Rosie asked. Jisoo glanced in Rosie's line of sight. "That is Jennie Kim." "Is she a daughter of Aphrodite too?" Jisoo barked out a laugh and shook her head. Rosie felt her cheeks flush. "No. She's a daughter of Athena." "Oh." Rosie said, still blushing furiously. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your crush on the devil."
