"Time may carry us through countless seasons, but true love never counts the years-it simply keeps choosing the same heart."

Irene Bae was known across the university as many things-intimidating, brilliant, beautiful, and ruthless. As a law student, she carried herself like someone who had already won every case life could throw at her. Her gaze alone could silence a room, and her presence made people straighten their backs without realizing it. People admired her. Some feared her. Most of them fell for her. Girls and boys alike found themselves drawn to Irene with just a single glance. A smile from her could ruin someone's entire day or make it. But Irene never cared. Attention was something she was used to, something she expected. Until Lisa. When their parents suddenly married, Lisa Manoban became Irene's sister by law, a quiet engineering student who spent more time with machines and blueprints than with people. Lisa didn't stare at Irene like everyone else did. She didn't try to impress her. She didn't blush under her gaze. In fact, Lisa barely seemed to notice her at all. And that was the problem. For the first time in her life, Irene was ignored. What began as curiosity slowly twisted into something darker. Irene started watching Lisa more closely. Lisa didn't realize it, but from the moment their parents said "I do," she had unknowingly stepped into Irene's world. And Irene was never the type to lose what she wanted. Because the one thing more dangerous than Irene Bae's intelligence... was her obsession.

Jennie and Lisa's life as a First time moms

Jennie Kim is the queen of Yonsei University's campus. She has everything: power, influence, a collection of devoted people. Ning Yizhuo is her main rival, who dreams of taking Jennie's throne. Between them is war. Their weapon is attention. Their trophies are people. Lalisa Manoban came to Seoul to study architecture. One year on exchange. No games, no drama. Just blueprints, coffee, and silence. She didn't know that you can end up in someone else's collection without doing anything at all. Especially when you refuse to be in it. Now Jennie wants her. Ning wants her. And each is ready to do anything to claim a trophy that doesn't want to be a trophy. Lisa thought her calmness was a shield. But in this game, there are no spectators. I was inspired by Maroon 5 - One More Night p.s. English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.🙏🏻

But when their paths inevitably collide at their high school reunion, the years of buried memories and unspoken heartbreak come rushing back. Lisa is determined to close the distance and finally confront the past, but Jennie is desperate to outrun the girl who still makes her stomach tie in knots. What really happened to their promise of forever? And when the walls they've built over a decade start to crumble, will they finally finish what they started, or walk away for good?

Jennie Kim never believed in fairy tales. Not in destiny. Not in soulmates. Certainly not in miracles. But tonight, in the middle of a crowded hotel restaurant glowing gold under crystal chandeliers, she needed one badly enough to steal it from a stranger's table. Because across the room sat her ex, her investors, and the family currently trying to destroy her reputation. And Jennie - for the first time in years - had arrived alone. Then she saw her. Laughing too loudly. Stealing fries off someone else's plate. Pretty in the kind of effortless way that made expensive people nervous. The girl looked up at the exact wrong moment. Their eyes met. Jennie stood before she could think herself out of it. "Hi," she said smoothly, already pulling out the empty chair beside the stranger. "I need you to pretend to be in love with me for the next thirty minutes." The girl blinked once. Then grinned. "Oh," she said. "This sounds fun." Jennie should've walked away right there.

In a world where success is built on names, power, and perception, two women strike a deal that looks flawless on the surface, but hides everything real beneath it. Lisa Manoban is a gifted young architect, driven and relentless, yet constantly overlooked in an industry that values reputation over raw talent. She knows skill alone isn't enough and she's willing to make bold choices to secure her place at the top. Jennie Kim, born into a powerful construction empire, has spent her life surrounded by blueprints and expectations she never asked for. While her family pushes her toward a future in their corporation, her heart beats for a different stage, one far from boardrooms and business deals. When their paths cross, they form an arrangement that benefits them both: an arrangement that opens doors for Lisa and creates an escape door for Jennie. But what happens when their own choices begin to unravel them? When ambition starts to feel like regret, and freedom comes with a cost they never expected? And if what's between them grows into something deeper than intended...will it save them....or quietly break them both? Slowburn ahead...
