The Promise No One Heard "I'll stand beside you, even if I'm the only one who knows I'm not supposed to." ⸻ The wedding invitations were already printed. A thousand ivory envelopes sealed with Jennie's initials. It was supposed to be the happiest weekend of her life. Lisa stood in the shadows of the hallway, watching as Jennie sat on the floor of her dressing room - veil undone, hair coming loose, face pale under the soft lights. She wasn't crying anymore. That part was over. Now, she just looked hollow. Lisa's heart had broken a hundred times for her. But tonight, it shattered in a new, final way. "I saw him," Jennie had whispered. "I went to the office to surprise him. She was on his desk." Lisa hadn't asked who she was. She didn't need to. The answer didn't matter. What mattered was the girl in front of her, breathing like her chest was cracked open. And the silence between them, full of all the things Lisa would never say. She wanted to take Jennie's hand. She wanted to say, "Choose me instead." But what she said was: "You don't have to marry him." Jennie laughed bitterly. "You think I can just disappear? After everything my family's done, after all the guests...? The papers already think we're perfect." Lisa hesitated. Then something inside her - the part that had loved Jennie for years, in shadows and silence - broke free. "Then marry me." The words fell like glass between them. Jennie blinked slowly. "What?" "You need someone," Lisa said softly. "Let it be me." And for a moment, Jennie didn't answer. She just stared - like she wasn't sure if Lisa was serious. Like maybe, deep down, part of her had always known this moment would come. "Why would you do that?" she whispered. Lisa looked away. Because if she looked into her eyes, she wouldn't survive it. "Because you don't deserve to stand alone. Not now. Not ever." That night, a new contract was signed. And Lisa became Jennie's bride.

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.

When sharp-minded lawyer Lisa Manoban accepts a meeting at the Kim estate, she expects a routine legal consultation - not a seat at a matchmaking luncheon. A single mix-up turns a professional visit into an awkward encounter with Jennie Kim, the elusive heiress of the Kim conglomerate, who believes Lisa is one of the suitors her grandmother handpicked. Jennie, tired of shallow affections and people chasing her fortune, has been pretending to be wheelchair-bound to expose those with insincere intentions. But Lisa's calm indifference and blunt honesty throw her off balance. Lisa isn't impressed by money, nor is she playing along with anyone's game - especially not when she's roped into one against her will. What begins as a misunderstanding soon becomes something far more complicated. Between corporate secrets, family expectations, and a grandmother's relentless scheming, Jennie and Lisa find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither anticipated. In a world built on appearances and contracts, The Case of Miss Kim asks what happens when sincerity becomes the most binding agreement of all.

A Short Story. Jennie Kim returns to Korea with her dinosaur-obsessed 4-year-old son Riley Kim and one big problem: her grandfather assumes she has a wife. Desperate to keep the lie from unraveling, Jennie ropes in her high school ex, Lisa Manoban, now the charming owner of a dino-themed café called DinoBrew. What starts as a fake marriage to impress family turns into late-night confessions, stegosaurus pancakes, and a second chance neither of them expected. As old feelings resurface and Riley starts calling Lisa "Mama," Jennie finds herself wondering-what if this pretend life is exactly what she's always needed? Includes chaotic cousins, café romance, a slowburn fluff overload, and one very dramatic 4-year-old dino prince.
