If you only knew.

In the sleepless heart of modern New York, where glass skyscrapers glimmer like altars to human ambition, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. They walk among mortals-creatures of hunger wearing faces of civility. Vampires dine beside the living, whispering laughter over wine, their elegance masking centuries of blood and silence. And at the center of this quiet masquerade stands Jennie, a soft-spoken editor in a Manhattan publishing firm. No one suspects the truth-that she is Ruby Jane, Queen of Vampires, heir to a lineage that carved history in crimson. She abandoned her throne in Europe, left her kin restless and vengeful, for one reason only: a mortal woman named Lalisa Manoban. Lisa is light. Warmth. Everything Ruby's kind has forgotten how to touch. For two years, Ruby has hidden in plain sight, living beneath fluorescent lights and mortal chatter, her hunger stitched behind a smile. Every laugh, every careless glance from Lisa unravels her further. Anyone who drifts too close to Lisa vanishes-quietly, efficiently, as if erased by the night itself. But Ruby is not the only thing stalking her. There are shadows that do not carry the scent of blood. Older. Colder. Watching. When an unseen predator begins haunting the same alleys, Ruby's obsession twists into wariness. The city trembles under disappearances dressed as coincidence, and the fragile veil between the human and the monstrous begins to thin. Soon, the Queen who came to worship will have to choose: concealment or carnage. And Lalisa Manoban-the woman she cannot stop watching- may not be the prey she believes she is.

Jennie and Lisa thought they had more time. Until fear made the choice for them. Now one of them is trying to forget, while the other is still living with everything they never said when they had the chance.

After losing her wife, Lisa built her life around one thing, never loving again. When her father arranged her marriage to Jennie, she agreed for one reason only; her daughter, Ella, who needed a mother. Love was never a part of the deal. Jennie knew exactly what she was walking into. Lisa who was being haunted by a love she buried, a past she refuses to let go of. But when the memories begin to feel more real than the present, Jennie is forced to wonder- How do you compete with someone who's gone... but never really left? Will Lisa finally choose the life in front of her, or remain chained to a ghost from the past? Specially when that ghost walks back in. - Lisa gp!

After Jennie Kim and Kim Taehyung went public, the world called it a love story. But for Lalisa Manoban- it felt like the beginning of something she was never meant to lose... and never allowed to keep.

UNEXPECTEDLY FIND LOVE She built everything. Except this. ⸻ Jennie Kim does not lose control. Not in business. Not in decisions. Not in life. As the CEO of Kim Empire, she has built an empire from perfection - every detail calculated, every outcome predicted. People follow her. Fear her. Need her. And Jennie prefers it that way. Because needing no one... is power. ⸻ Lalisa Manoban has nothing. No family. No safety net. No second chances. Just scholarships, late nights, and a part-time job at a small coffee shop to survive another semester in architecture school. Everything she has, she built herself. ⸻ They were never supposed to meet. One lives in glass towers. The other in quiet corners of the city. One commands the world. The other simply endures it. ⸻ But when Lisa steps into Jennie's world- She doesn't bow. She doesn't try to impress. She doesn't even seem afraid. And that... is new. ⸻ Because Jennie is used to control. But Lisa? Lisa doesn't resist. She simply... doesn't yield. ⸻ It starts small. A conversation that doesn't follow Jennie's rules. A gaze that doesn't look away. A presence that refuses to shrink. And suddenly- Jennie Kim, who owns everything- finds herself facing someone who cannot be owned. ⸻ Lisa doesn't chase her. Doesn't need her. Doesn't try to belong in her world. And somehow- that's exactly why Jennie can't let her go. ⸻ This was never part of the plan. And for the first time in her life- Jennie doesn't know how to fix it. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello readers! Given recent industry announcements, I want to be unequivocal: this is a fictional story. The "Jen" and "Lisa" and many others name in this tale are characters I've created for a narrative. They are not representations of the real-life idols. This is written for entertainment within the fan community. Thank you for understanding! Now, onto the story...

Two powerful women at the top of their fields-ruthless, admired, untouchable-are forced to confront what happens when their carefully controlled worlds start to unravel... because of each other. Cold-hearted corporate Queen meets brilliant but arrogant Doctor. With Jennie as the icy, no-nonsense CEO running an empire, Lisa as the doctor has to match that energy in a totally different way.

Jennie Kim built her life on composure. At thirty-two, she sits at the top floor of Kim Corp, the kind of woman whose silence weighs more than anyone's speech. Luxury, precision, restraint - she made an empire out of things that never slip. People say Jennie doesn't fall in love. What they don't know is she learned to keep it quiet long before she learned to keep it together. Across the river, in a small restaurant tucked between old bookstores and neon bars, Lisa Manoban works with her hands - a chef whose plates taste like memories she refuses to explain. Before the knives and the heat, she was a dancer - sharp lines, soft wrists, rhythm that lived in her bones. She doesn't perform on stage anymore, but everyone who watches her move through her kitchen knows she never stopped dancing - just changed the floor. They aren't strangers. Not friends. Not ex-lovers. Something else. Something unnamed. Jennie eats at Lisa's restaurant once a month. Never reserved under her own name. Never photographed. But every time she walks in, Lisa changes the menu without asking - just a little - as if her memory still knows what Jennie might need. People notice: the shift in Lisa's posture when Jennie enters, the way Jennie slows her chewing when Lisa sets the plate herself. No one says anything. Their history isn't written anywhere, but it lives under skin and between glances - in the tattoos Lisa never explains, in the lyrics Jennie never publishes, in the meals that feel like confessions, in the silence that tastes like truth. Everyone knows something happened once - or almost happened - or could still happen if either of them ever chose to move first. But they don't. Not yet. For now, they remain what they've always been: private - but not a secret.

"She was chaos in a hoodie. She was perfection wrapped in pressure. And somewhere between stolen pancakes and toothbrush wars, they fell in love." Synopsis: Jennie Kim has a plan. She always has. As the campus student council president, she's used to control, power, and the kind of icy perfection people admire from afar. But when a last-minute dorm assignment throws her into the world of Lalisa Manoban-quirky, unbothered, camera-loving chaos-her plans begin to unravel in the most inconvenient way possible. Lisa's only goal is to get through college without drama, deadlines, or falling in love. She wears hoodies like armor, hides feelings behind flirtatious grins, and captures life through her lens, one photo at a time. But Jennie? Jennie is the photo she can't stop taking. From chaotic short films with the campus misfits, rooftop graduations, and fights over toothbrushes to unexpected snow days, late-night cuddles, and a summer fling with lingering tension, Love, Unbothered is a slow-burn college love story packed with banter, vulnerability, and heart.

Because sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, it's quiet mornings in a shared apartment. And sometimes, it's just one photo that says everything.
