[CMPLTD] BOOK 2: A year after saving the kingdom, Jennie thought her life would finally slow down. Instead, she's pulled back into Royal chaos when a mysterious case leads her and her friends into a hidden world that mirrors their own... but darker, stronger, and far more dangerous. As friendships are tested, identities blur, and two worlds collide, Jennie finds herself facing something far more personal than any mission she's ever taken-while trying not to fall even harder for one person who always stands beside her. Between Royal duties, chaos, unexpected doubles, and a love that refuses to stay simple, one thing becomes clear: Some connections don't belong to just one lifetime.

Jennie Kim was in her third year at Chung-Ang University, the crown jewel of their two-time national cheerleading champions. She carried the weight of the title "captain" with pride-grace in every stunt, fire in every chant, and a presence that could command a stadium. It was during the first rivalry match of the new season that she saw her. Across the field, framed by the fever-bright floodlights and the roar of the crowd, moved a girl with an aura that didn't belong to a newcomer. Too gorgeous. Too skilled. Too certain of her place. Then the whispers reached Jennie-she was a freshman. Not just that-a freshman captain for Korea University's soccer team. Unheard of. Curiosity slid into her veins like a sudden fever. Lisa Manoban felt the weight of the stare before she found its source. When her eyes finally locked onto Jennie, the stadium around them faded into a hum. She wasn't supposed to be distracted-not in the middle of a heated match, not by someone on the sidelines-but the Chung-Ang captain was something else entirely. Beauty sharpened by grit, elegance wrapped in steel. In that instant, the air between them shifted. Two leaders. Two rivals. Two sparks striking in the middle of a war drum's beat. Would the rivalry douse the fire before it could burn? Or had fate already decided it didn't matter? And in this rivalry, compelling can be even more dangerous than skill.

35-year-old scientist Lisa Manoban builds a machine that can send the consciousness of coma patients back in time-rewriting memory, emotion, and regret within the mind. As she tests it on herself, Lisa wakes up in a parallel world as her 18-year-old self, reliving a youth where betrayal, heartbreak, and lost love take on new meaning. In this altered world-Earth X-Lisa finds herself falling for Jennie again, the same woman who shattered her heart in the real world. But Jennie doesn't know about lisa's pain... and Lisa remembers everything. Alongside fellow researchers Jisoo and Seulgi, Lisa explores this emotional simulation, torn between her past with Mina and her unexpected present with Jennie. Meanwhile, secrets unravel, feelings resurface, and timelines begin to blur. But this code was never meant to be changed. When the time comes to return to reality-Earth Y-Lisa must choose: Will she rewrite the ending she once feared, or finally accept the love she never thought she deserved? ________________________________________ One machine. Two timelines. A love story rewritten between X and Y.
