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... IN HER DEFENCE Introduction Jennie Kim didn't believe in softness. Not in the courtroom, not in the office, not in herself. She was Seoul's most respected litigator by thirty, feared more than she was admired. Her heels never clicked twice down the same hallway, and her silence in a meeting could kill a career faster than a lost case. She didn't yell. She didn't plead. She simply looked - and people moved. The only thing she had less time for than inefficiency was idealism. So when her managing partner assigned her a final-year intern from Korea University - bright-eyed, book-taught, and ten minutes early for everything - Jennie barely looked up from her deposition notes. "Don't ask questions unless you already know the answers," she said without turning. "And don't try to impress me. I'm not here to be impressed." Lisa Manoban nodded once. Soft voice, steady gaze. "I'm not here to impress you," she said. "I'm here to learn." That was the first time Jennie looked at her - really looked. She wasn't loud, or eager, or trying too hard. She was just... still. Soft in a way Jennie didn't trust. The kind of softness that didn't bend to survive - it stayed, and waited, and watched. Jennie dismissed her with a nod, already forgetting the name. But something about the girl lingered long after she left the room. Like the quiet echo of a truth Jennie didn't want to hear.

A glimpse of the life of married couple Professor Jennie Kim and Artist Lisa Manoban, along with their children... Jenlisa Adaptation| All credits goes to the rightful owner Jennie g!p

After a painful breakup. Architect Lalisa Manobal reunites with her first love, Director Jennie Kim, only for an accident to erase the memories that broke them apart. Now caught between forgotten heartbreak, hidden truths, chaotic friends, and a love that never really faded, the two must learn that real love is not meant to hurt-it is meant to feel like home.

Jennie Kim, the school's sweetheart, is adored by everyone, but it's her best friend, Lisa, the chill star of the volleyball team, who knows her heart best. As their senior year unfolds, Jennie begins to realize that her true love may have always been by her side. In a story of pure love, no enemies, and gentle revelations, Jennie and Lisa's friendship quietly blossoms into something more, proving that sometimes, the person who's meant for you has been in your orbit all along.

Jennie Kim, CEO of KimCorp, leaned back in her office chair as the sunset's first golden light touched her skin. "Oh no," she muttered, feeling the familiar tingle in her fingertips. Her cat ears twitched out of nowhere. Then her tail. Then poof! Jennie Kim, intimidating billionaire, was replaced by Jennie Kim, small fluffy caramel-colored kitten with attitude issues. "Meow," she grumbled, glaring at her reflection in the glass wall. "Fantastic. Another night of fur." She was cursed (long story, don't ask), and the spell said: "At dusk you'll purr, at dawn you'll rule. Only true love's kiss can break the dual." Jennie rolled her tiny kitten eyes. "True love my paw," she hissed, curling up on her designer couch.

The Promise No One Heard "I'll stand beside you, even if I'm the only one who knows I'm not supposed to." ⸻ The wedding invitations were already printed. A thousand ivory envelopes sealed with Jennie's initials. It was supposed to be the happiest weekend of her life. Lisa stood in the shadows of the hallway, watching as Jennie sat on the floor of her dressing room - veil undone, hair coming loose, face pale under the soft lights. She wasn't crying anymore. That part was over. Now, she just looked hollow. Lisa's heart had broken a hundred times for her. But tonight, it shattered in a new, final way. "I saw him," Jennie had whispered. "I went to the office to surprise him. She was on his desk." Lisa hadn't asked who she was. She didn't need to. The answer didn't matter. What mattered was the girl in front of her, breathing like her chest was cracked open. And the silence between them, full of all the things Lisa would never say. She wanted to take Jennie's hand. She wanted to say, "Choose me instead." But what she said was: "You don't have to marry him." Jennie laughed bitterly. "You think I can just disappear? After everything my family's done, after all the guests...? The papers already think we're perfect." Lisa hesitated. Then something inside her - the part that had loved Jennie for years, in shadows and silence - broke free. "Then marry me." The words fell like glass between them. Jennie blinked slowly. "What?" "You need someone," Lisa said softly. "Let it be me." And for a moment, Jennie didn't answer. She just stared - like she wasn't sure if Lisa was serious. Like maybe, deep down, part of her had always known this moment would come. "Why would you do that?" she whispered. Lisa looked away. Because if she looked into her eyes, she wouldn't survive it. "Because you don't deserve to stand alone. Not now. Not ever." That night, a new contract was signed. And Lisa became Jennie's bride.

THIS IS A ENGLISH VERSION OF GO TO HOGWARTS - JENLISA BY @riannasd. ____________________________________ On her eleventh birthday, Jennie Kim received a letter from a school she had never heard of: Hogwarts. Jennie was a witch of Muggle parents - as non-wizards were called - and would begin her school year on September 1st, attending school for seven years to learn magic and sorcery. Lalisa Manoban, daughter of pure-blood wizards, like the entire Manoban family, was looking forward to her eleventh birthday; she felt ready to go to Hogwarts and be a great witch, like her ancestors. Right from the start, Lalisa and Jennie didn't get along; they were always exchanging barbs in the school corridors, and the rivalry they created didn't allow them to see what fate awaited them. Between hate and love, there is a fine line that can easily (or not) be broken. ____________________________________ © All rights and credits to @riannasd & @chase990

Jennie Kim is a brilliant, fierce, ice queen boss who believes to her core that everything would be much simpler if people told each other the whole cold hard truth.
