"If you still want to be with me, I'll stay by your side..." Lisa firmly said, her voice steady but heavy with unspoken emotions, as if she were standing on the precipice of a life-altering decision. Jennie blinked, caught off guard. Her breath hitched in her throat, and she struggled to gather her thoughts. "H-Huh?" she stammered, a whirlwind of nerves churning inside her. "Do you still have feelings for me?" Lisa asked, her gaze piercing through Jennie with an honesty that left no room for evasion. "W-What?" "Do you still like me, Jennie?" In that moment, time seemed to stand still. Jennie's heart raced, each beat echoing in her ears like a distant drum. Fear and hope collided within her, creating a tempest of emotion. After a moment that felt like an eternity, she nodded, breathless. "Yes." Lisa held her gaze, the silence stretching between them as if the weight of their shared history hung in the air. Finally, she spoke, her tone resolute. "I regret it, Jennie..." "What do you mean?" Jennie's confusion deepened. ...I regret the time we've wasted apart... "Let's be together," Lisa declared, her voice unwavering. "I don't need you to do anything. I don't need you to promise me forever or to stand by me without fail. If the day comes when you want to leave me...when you want to walk away, then let's part ways. But right now, at this moment, let's choose to be together." After ten long years of searching and thousands of miles of being alone, it turns out... ...the only thing Lisa truly wanted was to be with Jennie. ••• This is merely an adaptation.

AUTHOR'S NOTE Hello, readers! Given recent industry announcements, I want to make one thing absolutely clear: this is a work of fiction. The characters named Jennie Ruby Jane, Lalisa Manoban, and others in this story are fictional characters created solely for this narrative. They are not intended to represent, describe, or speculate about the private lives, personalities, relationships, or experiences of any real-life idols or public figures. This story is written purely for entertainment within the fan-fiction community. Thank you for reading, for understanding, and for allowing fiction to remain fiction. Now... onto the story. - PROMISE IN SILENCE Jennie Ruby Jane - Korea's global icon. Fierce, independent, and completely uninterested in marriage. Especially to a woman she barely knows. Lalisa Manoban - a world-famous heart surgeon known as the "Goddess Doctor." Brilliant, gentle, and quietly devoted to her family. A promise between their grandfathers brings two completely different women into an arranged marriage neither expected. For Jennie, it is an obligation. For Lisa, it is a promise she intends to keep. Separate lives. No expectations. No falling in love. But between quiet dinners, family gatherings, and the small kindnesses neither talks about, something begins to change. Because sometimes, the deepest promises are the ones never spoken aloud. A promise made in silence.

"You saved me from the pain so let me love you" - J.K. "What did i do to deserve this? Why did i put myself into this when i knew from the beginning that you will never be mine" - L.M. PUBLISHED: AUGUST 18, 2021 FINISHED: SEPTEMBER 3, 2021

Lalisa Manoban is a workaholic businesswoman with no interest in marital life but her beliefs are tested when her father dies and leaves her a generous inheritance with a string attached-she must have a wife and a child before her thirtieth birthday or her entitlements will be donated to charity. With less than a year to her deadline, she is pressured into hiring Jennie Kim, a woman with a story of her own to be his wife and carry her child for a duration. But is a contract all that is written in the stars for these two or a chance at love as well? A Jenlisa Adaptation. (G!P)

Lisa is a med school drop out from Thailand who went to New York to chase the woman she love the most and there, she met a woman with a broken heart and broken phone.

Sometimes all we need is a second chance, because time wasn't ready for the first one. Jennie wasn't ready. She wasn't ready to expose everything. She is not ready to let go of everything that she worked hard for to reach the things she have right now. And because of it, she never realize the things that are slipping away from her grasp. She wasn't aware that the one person she loves, slowly walking away from her. Lisa is walking away from her. And chance is her only hope. Will she ever bring back everything, if she's going to ask '𝓞𝓷𝓮 𝓜𝓸𝓻𝓮 𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮'?

Three years after ending the long-distance relationship that defined her college years. She had been the one to walk away, tired of living through a screen, tired of being glued to her phone for years while seeing Lisa only three times in person. She told herself she wanted a life she could actually touch, a world beyond notifications and late-night calls. Jennie logs into a Zoom interview for her dream position at a prestigious firm. She just isn't prepared to see Lisa on the screen. Not as her girlfriend. Not as the girl who once flew to Korea and begged her to stay. But as HR evaluates her future. Lisa is composed, distant, and strictly professional. She calls it a conflict of interest. Jennie calls it unfinished business. As old feelings resurface and unspoken regrets linger between formal emails and office hallways, Jennie realises the love she thought she left behind never truly faded. But for Lisa? Is it unfinished too, or simply a chapter she has already closed? 5/6/26 #1 in Lisa

It is a story about loneliness hidden behind success. A story about ordinary moments that become extraordinary memories. And above all, it is a story about two women from completely different worlds discovering that sometimes the person who changes your life arrives when you are least expecting them. Because some stories find you when you least expect them. DISCLAIMER This is a fictional work created for entertainment purposes only.

Kim Group General Hospital is known for saving lives. Unfortunately, it is also where chaos thrives. Dr. Lisa Manobal, a brilliant but sleepy neurosurgeon, transfers to the hospital alongside her best friends, Jisoo and Seulgi. Kind-hearted, ridiculously talented, and completely unaware of her own charm, Lisa quickly becomes one of the hospital's most beloved doctors. Dr. Jennie Kim, the hospital owner's daughter and a feared cardiologist, is everything Lisa isn't-strict, intimidating, and endlessly dedicated to her work. But behind her cold reputation is a woman longing for something more than hospital corridors and endless responsibilities. As their paths cross, curiosity turns into friendship, friendship into love, and suddenly two doctors find themselves navigating impossible surgeries, jealous rivals, chaotic best friends, hospital gossip, and a romance neither of them expected. A heartwarming story filled with laughter, healing, friendship, and love-because sometimes the person who saves your heart isn't a cardiologist. It's the neurosurgeon who accidentally steals it.
