Synopsis: Jennie believes she is loved, carefully, beautifully, and under watchful hands. Her life beside the perfect Kim Jongin looks enviable from the outside, even as it quietly asks her to become smaller. When an unexpected marriage ties her to someone who doesn't demand, correct, or cage her, Jennie begins to feel something unfamiliar: choice. What starts as a polished romance unravels into a story of denial, obsession, and the dangerous pull between control and freedom-where love can feel intoxicating, peaceful and entirely free.

Jennie and Lisa loved each other for years, until their trust was broken and everything changed. Now they're stuck between what they still feel and what they can no longer return to, unsure if love is enough to repair what was lost or if letting go is the only way forward. This is an adaptation. All credits go to the original author.

Lisa, freshly dumped and nursing a bruised heart, meets Jennie, a girl stuck in the emotional limbo of an "open relationship" with her long-distance boyfriend, on the New York City subway. They click instantly. A little laughter, a little flirting, and suddenly they're agreeing to something that sounds simple enough: casual, no-strings-attached, absolutely-nobody's-catching-feelings sex. What could possibly go wrong? Now, between foodtrips, late-night subway rides, and far too many moments that feel like more than they should, Lisa and Jennie start to realize that "casual" might not be in their vocabulary. And Jisoo's just trying not to have an aneurysm watching it all happen. This is an adaptation. All credits goes to the original author

The only things Jisoo is absolutely a hundred percent sure that Jennie likes are the following: food, music, being right, pretentious books, kissing, and pretentious books about kissing. So far Lisa is not on that list. (Jisoo's fairly certain.) --- --- This is an adaption. Credits belong to the original author. I don't own the plot, any of the pictures or the characters.

Lisa loves her life. The career, the freedom, the thrill of always moving forward, it's everything she thought she wanted. But life has a way of surprising you. And sometimes, the change you never expected is the one you can't imagine living without. This is an adaptation. All credits and rights go to the original author.

She adjusted her gloves as the scrub nurse prepared the next set of instruments. Dr. Jennie Kim, Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery - her reputation carried through every corridor, every whispered word from interns who admired her, and every wary glance from residents who feared her temper. At the observation deck above, the team lingered after their shifts, half-watching, half-bantering. • Jisoo, senior anesthesiologist, sharp-witted and calm, lounged with her arms crossed. • Rosé, pediatric surgeon, softer in tone, had her chin propped in her hand, eyes following Jennie's every move with quiet admiration. • Mingyu, the towering orthopedic surgeon, tried cracking jokes to cut the tension. • Kai, neurosurgeon, cocky and graceful, leaned forward, pretending he wasn't impressed by Jennie's speed. • Seulgi, ER physician, hair tied neatly back, analytical and efficient even off-shift. • Irene, head nurse, composed and graceful, standing quietly, the backbone of every surgery. Together, they made the hospital tick. But they also knew one truth: Jennie Kim was the sun - cold, blinding, impossible to ignore. The sliding door opened behind them. V slipped in, suit jacket still on from his evening out, his easy smile softening the sterile air. Jennie's boyfriend. The picture of perfection - charming, elegant, supportive. "Perfect couple," Mingyu whispered, earning a scoff from Jisoo. Jennie didn't look up. She never did when she worked. Order. Control. Perfection. What she didn't know - what none of them knew - was that the following morning, a new doctor would walk into their hospital. A doctor whose laughter was too loud, whose warmth didn't fit the icy walls of operating rooms. A doctor who would slowly, patiently, pull Jennie's perfect world apart. Lisa Manoban. And nothing - not Jennie's prejudice, not her carefully built walls, not even V's place at her side - would be enough to stop it.

After eight long years abroad, Jennie Kim returns to South Korea to start anew. She applies for a residency transfer at Seorin Medical Center, one of the country's most prestigious hospitals hoping to ground herself after years of burnout, and move forward from the heartbreak she left behind. What she didn't know: Dr. Lalisa Manoban, her ex-girlfriend - the one she left to pursue her dreams is not only still in Korea but now one of the hospital's most respected and sought-after physicians. Lisa, colder and sharper, buried the pain of their past by immersing herself in her career and becoming a renowned trauma surgeon. But fate has a cruel sense of humor and unfinished business always finds a way. Their paths cross again. And this time, neither of them is the same. Jennie wants closure. Lisa wants distance. The hospital wants efficiency. And fate? Fate wants chaos.

Lisa had been hired to photograph the national players in the nude, their portraits destined for a charity project. She had braced herself for the long hours. She had anticipated the hesitation, the nervous laughter, the vulnerability of the women before her lens. But she had not prepared for Jennie Kim, nor for the unexpected tremor of feeling that stirred the moment her eyes fell upon her. This is an adaptation. All credits go to the original author.

Lisa's got a spoonful of noodles halfway to her mouth when she puts down her chopsticks to check the new message Jennie sent. It's a simple 'just got home :)' but Lisa stares at it until her phone's screen goes dark, an unexplainable warmth spreading around her cheeks and settling somewhere in the pit of her stomach, and she's left to wonder since when did she and her best friend started dating.
