Lisa Manoban, a quiet scholarship student with a secret power, tries to live a normal life at Yonsei University. But everything changes when Jennie Kim the powerful, feared Queen Bee of the campus starts bullying her. What no one knows is that Jennie's cruelty hides her deepest secret, she's in love with Lisa. Their story begins with pain but grows into trust, love, and a promise that no power in the world can break. Even when danger comes, their hearts choose each other "forever." (g|p)

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.

They part ways again, carrying a secret that will follow them back to Seoul. Between fame, expectations, and old feelings, Lisa and Jennie must decide if childhood promises can survive adult realities.

BOOK 1: Where You Left Us Lisa (G!P) Lisa and Jennie were never more than best friends-at least, that's what they always told themselves. But one spontaneous, vulnerable night blurred the lines between friendship and something more. Neither of them expected anything to come from it... until Lisa found out Jennie was pregnant. Confused but trying to be brave, Lisa turns to Jennie, hoping they'd face this unexpected journey together. But Jennie, overwhelmed by fear, the weight of her image, and her own personal demons, chooses to walk away. With just a note and a goodbye that felt more like a betrayal than closure, she disappears from Lisa's life-leaving her to face parenthood alone. Now, with a newborn in her arms and no idea what she's doing, Lisa must learn how to raise a child, cope with heartbreak, and find strength in the silence Jennie left behind. She's not just figuring out how to be a parent-she's figuring out how to live without the person she thought would never leave. But the story doesn't end there. As Lisa builds a new life for herself and her baby, Jennie's absence lingers like a ghost in every milestone and midnight cry. What happens when paths cross again-not because of love, but because of the child that never asked to be caught in between? Lisa must decide if she'll reopen old wounds... or protect the new life she's built.

Lisa (G!P) Jennie Kim has built her life on control and unwilling to let anyone close. But one night, when her friends hand her a name and a number, she crosses a line she swore she never would. Lisa was supposed to be nothing more than a distraction. Just someone Jennie could call when the loneliness became too much. But Lisa isn't forgettable. She's warmth in the cold, laughter in the silence, and the one person who makes Jennie's carefully built walls begin to crack. What starts as late-night encounters turns into something Jennie refuses to name. Until a secret decision shatters the fragile line between them. When Lisa discovers the truth, she doesn't just walk away. She chooses herself, leaving Jennie to face the one thing she never know. Loss. For the first time, the woman who had everything is left with nothing. No control. No escape. Only the hollow ache of realizing too late what Lisa truly meant. And some wounds don't heal easily... especially when love was never supposed to be part of the deal.

Jennie Kim was meant to inherit an empire. But her grandmother gave her an ultimatum: No driver. No company. She agreed, thinking it was just another restriction. She was wrong. Because the driver assigned to her was Lisa Manoban. The girl who once loved her. The girl who vanished before graduation. The girl who was supposed to be at the top of her class... and never made it. Now Lisa stands beside her, eyes lowered, calling her Miss Jennie, pretending she doesn't still orbit around her. But Jennie remembers. The devotion. The way Lisa looked at her like she was everything. And this time, Lisa isn't chasing her anymore. Lisa never asked Jennie Kim to love her, She only learned how to survive loving her.

When runaway architect Jennie Ruby Jane Kim escapes an arranged marriage and hides in the back of a tomato truck, she doesn't expect to end up in a quiet province far from Seoul - or to meet the hardworking, no-nonsense engineering student Lalisa Manoban, who just wants to graduate, help her family, and pass her board exams. What begins as a chaotic accident - spilled tomatoes, mistaken assumptions, and one very awkward introduction - slowly turns into a story of healing, laughter, and the kind of love that grows like sunlight through open windows. As Jennie adjusts to life away from the city, she learns what it means to dream again, while Lisa discovers that some foundations are built not from concrete, but from trust and warmth. Alongside a circle of friends who stumble into their own unexpected romances, they navigate small-town life, big ambitions, and quiet evenings where unspoken feelings linger longer than the stars. From a tomato truck to a bridge that changed their futures, from laughter-filled nights to teary confessions, Tomatoes and Blueprints follows two women who learn to build a home not with walls - but with love. By the end, amid fairy lights, confessions, and a bridge reborn, they'll discover that the strongest structures are the ones made by heart.
