Lee YN, 24. Quiet, composed, and seemingly comfortable with the life she has built for herself. Jeon Jiwook, 26. Reserved, short-tempered, and the newest employee in a department where personal boundaries barely exist. Years pass. People change. And sometimes, life brings a familiar face back when you least expect it. When Jiwook walks into YN's workplace, he's just the new employee. A familiar face. A quiet stare. A simple- "Hi." Nothing unusual. At least, that's what everyone else thinks. Now, under the same roof and surrounded by people who know nothing, pretending seems easy. Pretending a glance means nothing. Pretending silence isn't heavy. Pretending some memories don't still linger. But some feelings don't disappear just because two people refuse to look at them. And some stories begin long before anyone realizes they're being told. LIKE WE NEVER 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 💔

Manhattan, early 2000s. "Fab" magazine: a glossy kingdom of stilettos, questionable trends, and Eleanor Thompson, a (mostly) benevolent Editor-in-Chief. Navigating this world is Ashley Parker, a whip-smart Managing Editor whose glasses are as essential as her morning triple espresso. Life's a whirlwind of fashion emergencies and deciphering Eleanor's bizarre requests...until he shows up. Jake Thompson. Eleanor's son. Ashley's arch-nemesis from college. Picture a golden retriever in human form, armed with a trust fund and a talent for chaos. Their history? Epic pranks, disastrous study dates, and a rivalry that could curdle milk. They bicker, they scheme, but beneath the surface, something's brewing. It's a volatile mix of annoyance and...maybe something else? As Ashley and Jake stumble through the absurdities of the magazine world, they start to see each other in a new (slightly less homicidal) light. But can they ditch the rivalry and embrace the awkward, undeniable spark? Or will their past and their pride keep them locked in a battle of wits and simmering hormones? "Ink-Compatible" is a rom-com about the delightfully weird world of 2000s Manhattan.
