They say I'm the heartbreaker. The flirt. The one who collects admirers without ever letting any of them too close. Men line up with flowers, fancy cars, and promises of forever. Some women try their luck too. Tall, handsome, beautiful - I've seen them all. And I? I laugh, I play, I surprise them with gestures they'll never forget... then I walk away before anyone can surprise me back. Because I don't fall. Not for anyone. At least, that's what I believed. Until her. Lisa Manoban. The one woman I was never supposed to want. The one person my brother, Kim Jiyong, trusted above everyone else. His best friend. His business partner. His family. She was supposed to be off-limits. She was supposed to be untouchable. But when it came to Lisa, every rule I lived by stopped mattering. Because sometimes, it only takes one person to make you break every promise you've made to yourself. Sometimes... it only takes one exception.

Jennie Kim's life had always been simple. Mornings behind the counter of her aunt's coffee shop, evenings spent buried in medical textbooks, and nights sitting by her father's hospital bed, whispering promises she wasn't sure she could keep. But everything changed the day her father's debts came knocking. Manoban Corp - a name that could silence entire boardrooms - held the chains to her father's failed company. And standing at the head of it all was Lisa Manoban: the cold, untouchable CEO with an empire at her feet and eyes that never betrayed a flicker of mercy. Jennie went to her office expecting rejection, maybe humiliation. She didn't expect an offer. "Be mine," Lisa said simply, as if it were the easiest transaction in the world. "A girlfriend for the cameras. In exchange, your father's debts disappear, and his hospital bills are taken care of." It was supposed to be a deal - insensitive, calculated, a cruel mockery of love. But deals have a way of blurring into something else when the heart becomes collateral. Jennie was smart enough to know better. She was cool enough to hide her trembling. But behind her brave eyes was the truth she could never admit: she was just a girl, soft and fragile, carrying a weight too heavy for her shoulders. And Lisa, who had never known what it meant to love, was about to learn that some exchanges can't be calculated. Because in the world of power and desperation, the only thing more dangerous than debt... was love itself.

[GP] Enemies. Icons. Maybe... something more? Jennie Kim and Lisa Manoban - two of the biggest names in the film industry. Talented, glamorous, untouchable. They're the superstars of the red carpet, the faces of every major brand, and each other's worst competition. They've never worked together. They barely acknowledge one another. And Jennie can't stand how Lisa always manages to steal the spotlight - and smirk while doing it. But when fans demand a film starring both of them, the industry listens. For the first time, Jennie and Lisa are cast side-by-side - and sparks fly. Not just the angry, rivalry kind, but the kind neither of them expected. In the world of flashing cameras and silent feelings, can two rivals rewrite their story into something real?

[GP] Lisa Manoban, a renowned second child of Manoban Family. She became successful on her own and established her own company without anyone's help. She was known to be caring, sweet, and clingy until hatred, anger, and pride ate her because of what she experienced. Jennie Kim, a successful CEO and one of the most famous fashion designers in the country. Lisa's ex-girlfriend and after they broke up, she decided to focus more on her work and career. Hope and positiveness filled her life, making her the lucky charm of their company. They both agreed not to bother each other anymore, they don't want to see each other anymore, until one day, they had no choice but to meet again. But, things are different. Lisa is now different from who Jennie knows. What will happen if they meet again? -- THIS IS GP PLEASE SKIP IF YOU'RE UNCOMFORTABLE.

[GP] Two Hearts. One Past. A Love That Refuses to Fade. Once, Lisa and Jennie had it all, love, commitment, and a future built on dreams. But when Lisa became consumed by ambition, chasing status and family expectations, their world began to fracture. Jennie, left to carry the emotional weight of their marriage, slowly lost faith in the woman she once adored. Now, years later, Lisa has given up everything to reclaim what was lost, only to find Jennie has already moved on, engaged to someone who gives her the peace she longed for. When fate brings them face to face once more, old emotions resurface. Regret. Longing. Hope. Can love truly be revived after so much damage? Or is letting go the only way to move forward?

"You have a brain, but you lack all the things that make her live a better life. She has a high quality of life, and you needn't destroy it by loving her." That day I cry to sleep and swear to myself that I won't let Jennie get into me again even though she isn't at fault. I know she will never say that to me because she is the sweetest girl I have ever seen, the lovely girl I have ever met, yet she will be the only thing I can never have in my life. **** I am just a nerd. A nerd that almost everyone loves when there are exams or when someone needs a tutor to explain the lessons to them because outside of classrooms, I am nothing but a lame girl with a skinny body, a pair of glasses, and weird jokes that I make in classes for some of my friends to laugh. The best joke I have ever made and laughed for myself, though, is the fact that I love Jennie Kim, my crush. The punchline is that no one has ever thought that a girl like me can love someone like Jennie. Not that I complain or whine about it since I always know the truth and where it will end already. What to hope when she is the opposite of me, and it is certain that no matter what, she can't be mine. Jennie Kim doesn't belong to me. And, I know it. © IMAEntertainer 2020 ✔ ----- #1 jenlisa on 24 May 2021 [START]: Oct 22, 2020 [END]: June 02, 2021

Lisa Manoban stood at the center of Jennie Kim's world-and Jennie, unknowingly, still held that place in Lisa's heart. They loved hard, young and wild, in a world that demanded masks and silence. Somewhere between crowded schedules and whispered arguments, their relationship slipped through the cracks. Jennie moved on, or so it seemed. But Lisa never really let go. Now, from the shadows of sold-out concerts and behind anonymous usernames, Lisa watches Jennie shine brighter than ever. She's no longer the girl at her side, but she's still the loudest cheer in the crowd-unseen, unheard, yet unfailingly present. To Jennie, Lisa is a closed chapter. To Lisa, Jennie is still the story. And Jennie has no idea her biggest fan... is her ex.

Lisa just wanted to survive Seoul National. Juggle three jobs, keep her scholarship, and avoid eye contact with rich girls in heels. Too bad Jennie Kim, campus queen and certified heart hazard, had other plans. What starts as a coffee spill and mutual side-eye turns into late-night projects, stolen kisses, and enough drama to fuel a K-drama. Between fundraisers, jealous cliques, surprise kisses, and one very public declaration, love gets... complicated. But hey-who said falling for your total opposite would be easy?
