Rivals since their rookie days, Woo Seulgi and Yoo Jaeyi have built their careers on one-upping each other. Icy glares on red carpets, cutting remarks in interviews, tabloid wars-they've become public enemies, and neither has ever backed down. Then one reckless kiss, caught on a blurry phone video, throws their world into chaos. Suddenly, the feud they've cultivated is overshadowed by scandal, and the press can't get enough. To contain the fallout, their agencies cast them as co-leads in a daring new arthouse film-a lesbian romance meant to "explain" the viral moment as nothing more than method research gone too far. But rehearsals blur the line between acting and reality. Every scripted kiss lingers too long, every brush of skin sparks tension, and every heated glance is a silent challenge neither can ignore. Their rivalry becomes a dangerous game, filled with teasing, provocation, and unspoken truths. As they navigate the pressures of fame, the cameras, and their fake romance, the line between hate and something more begins to fade. Seulgi and Jaeyi discover that sometimes, rivalry can be far more intoxicating than victory. ________ Warning: This story is a fictional work that explores intimate and sensual scenes.

Seulgi agrees to a one-year fake marriage with Yoo Jaeyi, the hospital's cold but brilliant doctor and the last person she's ever wanted to deal with. What begins as a contract for money soon spirals into something far more complicated... and maybe even real.

The wind howled through the broken walls of Chung Kingdom, carrying the scent of ash and blood. Fires still smoldered in the distance, casting an eerie glow over the shattered remains of what once stood proud and unyielding. Soldiers marched through the streets, their armor stained with the dust of battle, dragging survivors from the ruins. Among them, shackled and stripped of her silks, was Chung Subin. Her wrists were bound with rough rope, the fibers biting into her flesh with every stumble. She kept her gaze fixed on the ground, unwilling to meet the eyes of the conquerors who sneered and spat as she passed. Her father's banners lay trampled in the mud, crimson and gold smeared with dirt and footprints. The once-mighty emblem of her family now lay forgotten, just as her kingdom had been. "Move faster," a guard snarled, shoving her forward. Subin staggered, knees hitting the ground. Pain shot through her legs, but she did not cry out. Tears were a luxury she had abandoned long ago. They led her to the towering walls of Lee Kingdom's castle-its spires piercing the clouds like daggers. The gates groaned open, revealing the sprawling stone fortress that would become her prison. Word of her capture had spread quickly. Servants whispered, nobles smirked behind raised fans, and the guards called her traitor as if it were her name. But it was not their eyes that cut the deepest. It was hers. Lee Hyeri stood atop the grand staircase, her gaze sharp and unyielding. Draped in silks of midnight blue, she was every bit the image of ruthless royalty. Her lips curled into a smile that did not reach her eyes as Subin was dragged before her, forced to her knees at Hyeri's feet. "So, this is the last princess of Chung," Hyeri mused, circling her like a predator savoring its catch. "Not much left of your father's pride now, is there?" Subin clenched her fists, the rope burning deeper into her skin. She would not give Hyeri the satisfaction of her tears. Not now. Not ever.

Yoo Pilsun (17) Living on the outskirts of Seoul, Pilsun was well known for her rebellious and masculine appearance that attracted the attention of both boys and girls. A carefree spirit, she never took school seriously, dreaming only of becoming a dancer. While her twin sister Jaeyi excelled in academics, Pilsun lived for the thrill of living in the moment, challenging the expectations of those around her. Despite this free spirited attitude, she secretly harbored a soft spot for Woo Seulgi, the shy nerd from her class. Little did she know that moving to Seoul would set in motion a chain of events that would lead to rivalry, love, and an unexpected emotional conflict. Yoo Jaeyi (17) The epitome of intelligence and discipline, Jaeyi was a top student at her prestigious school in Seoul, determined to follow her father's medical legacy. Her ambition and smarts earned her the admiration of many, particularly from her fellow students. However, life was far from perfect, her relationship with her twin sister, Pilsun, had always been strained, and she found it irritating when Pilsun unexpectedly moved to Seoul. Jaeyi's world would shift when she began working closely with Woo Seulgi on a school project, slowly uncovering the complexities of her own heart, and feelings she didn't expect for her sister's best friend. Woo Seulgi (17) Raised in a poor family, Seulgi always believed that education was her only escape. However, after her family's decision to move to Seoul, Seulgi's life took a dramatic turn. She was quiet and introverted, often lost in her books, but Pilsun's unexpected arrival in Seoul changed everything. Though Seulgi was grateful for Pilsun's protective nature, she never imagined the emotional turmoil that would follow. As she grew closer to Jaeyi during a school project, Seulgi found herself torn between the two sisters, each of whom was fiercely protective and increasingly invested in her well being.

When Woo Seulgi, a spirited and delightfully messy 23-year-old fresh out of university, arrives in Seoul, she's hoping for a fresh start. What she gets instead is Yoo Jaeyi, her meticulously organized and seemingly icy 25-year-old nurse roommate. Their shared apartment, meant to be a sanctuary, quickly becomes a battleground of passive-aggressive notes, clashing personalities, and the furry, chaotic presence of Seulgi's secret weapon: Boksil, her mischievous Maltese. Seulgi, despite her loud exterior, harbors a hidden truth-a fierce attraction to women she's desperately trying to conceal behind. Jaeyi, outwardly composed and mature, secretly battles her own inner demons, including a possessive streak she keeps carefully hidden. Both women, commoners from the provinces, are stretched thin by the demands of their low-paying jobs and the financial burdens of supporting their families-Seulgi's younger brother, Jihun (20), and Jaeyi's parents and younger sister, Eunbi (18). Their initial hatred reaches a peak after Boksil's innocent destruction of a prized possession. But forced proximity and shared struggles begin to chip away at their defenses. As their carefully constructed facades crumble, they discover a common ground in their relentless pursuit of stability and their deep love for their families. The subtle shift from bitter rivals to hesitant friends, and then to something undeniably romantic, is a journey of quiet glances, lingering touches, and a growing understanding that transcends their initial animosity. Kiss The Girl:Next Door is a heartwarming tale of two women bound by circumstance, who find unexpected love amidst the chaos of adulting, financial strain, and the noisy presence of a small, fluffy dog. Can their blossoming affection survive their clashing worlds and the secrets they both carry?

Woo Seulgi knows how to survive-but not how to dream. Orphaned young and raised in the dark underbelly of Seoul, she's a street fighter with fists hardened by blood and bruises. Gambling, back-alley brawls, and shady debts have defined her life. Her only solace? Her best friend, Woo Ri. But when a trusted friend, Sam Dong, betrays her and leaves her entangled in loan shark troubles, Seulgi's already dangerous life becomes even more desperate. That's when the unexpected happens. She's offered a job-by one of the richest families in Korea. The Yoo family. Her mission? Protect their only daughter. Yoo Jaeyi has never known struggle. As the only child of Yoo Tae Jin, a cold and powerful billionaire, Jaeyi lives in a world of wealth, privilege, and suffocating expectations. Groomed to be perfect, Jaeyi is a household name in elite circles-beautiful, talented, and admired. But behind the glamor is a girl starved for affection, untouched by the rawness of real life. She's never been taught how to care, only how to win. When Seulgi becomes Jaeyi's bodyguard, their worlds violently collide. One girl fights to survive. The other lives to perform. And neither was prepared for the fire that would ignite between them. Can two girls from opposite ends of the world learn to trust-let alone love-each other? Will Jaeyi dare to step outside her golden cage? And will Seulgi risk everything to protect the girl who might just shatter her walls? Love doesn't care where you come from. But the world does.

If someone had told Seulgi three months ago that she'd end up sharing a house with her mother's new fiancé and his daughter, she would've laughed. Or screamed. Or both. Now? Well-she's still screaming. But more internally. Mostly. "I swear to God, if you touch my skincare again, Jaeyi-" "Relax! I was just borrowing your toner. And serum. And... maybe the snail essence. Your pores look rich, I'm trying to invest." Seulgi clenched her jaw, gripping the bathroom doorframe like it personally betrayed her. "Your investment plan is going to end in hospital bills." Living under the same roof as Jaeyi was like signing up for emotional whiplash. One moment she was laughing at Jaeyi doing a ridiculous dance in the kitchen with a burnt pancake on her head; the next, she was staring too long when Jaeyi came home in a sundress that shouldn't be legal. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair. Because Jaeyi wasn't just annoying. Or pretty. Or funny in a way that made Seulgi want to punch a pillow. Jaeyi was her. The kind of chaos Seulgi never asked for but somehow couldn't stop orbiting around. "You're staring again," Jaeyi teased one evening, perched on the kitchen counter, eating grapes like a Greek goddess with no regard for personal space. "No, I'm regretting my life choices," Seulgi deadpanned, turning away, ears turning traitorously red. Jaeyi tilted her head. "Sure you are. Just like how you 'regretted' sitting next to me during movie night. Or how you 'regretted' holding my hand during that thunderstorm." "That was for safety," Seulgi snapped, grabbing a water bottle just to have something to hold that wasn't Jaeyi's smug face. "Oh? So if another thunderstorm happens, you'll hold someone else's hand?" Silence.

"Between Heartbeats" is the story of a troublemaker with a fragile heart and the ice queen melted by love. Woo Seulgi is the one the school hallways are afraid of. Yoo Jaeyi is the president with eyes of ice and a voice made of steel. They come from different worlds, but when Seulgi's life begins to slip between heartbeats, it's Jaeyi who stays. Too late for "later", too early for goodbye. This is a story about how love blooms where no one expects it - between pain, fear, fistfights, silence... and last chances.
