At the age of 27, Agent Grey found herself in a very tough position when she was appointed to spy on the Kim family's legacy. Rumor had it that the Kims were one of the biggest operators in the underground business, and she needed to gather evidence to put them behind bars. It wasn't a difficult task for her because she had been part of the Kim family's inner circle since childhood; the hard part was breaking their trust for her own selfish ambitions.
Nine years ago, Lisanna left Seoul and moved to England to study criminal law, leaving the country with a broken heart that needed mending. She was a hopeless romantic who believed in destiny, so when a pair of soft lips descended on hers to give her lungs air as she was nearly drowning in the lake at their school's youth camp, Lisanna didn't care whether she was in a near-death experience or not because, at that moment, she was convinced she had found her soulmate.
But Lisanna assumed too soon. In high school, on their graduation day, her best friend Vier invited her to come to her brother's newly built club, and there she drunkenly confessed her feelings to the Kim family's middle child. Kieran stared at her for a long time before muttering the cold words that shattered her world: "I'm flattered. But I can't reciprocate your undying love, Grey. I don't have a heart to offer."

IN HER DEFENCE - JENLISA
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.Complete
LOVE in EXCHANGE - Jenlisa
Jennie Kim's life had always been simple. Mornings behind the counter of her aunt's coffee shop, evenings spent buried in medical textbooks, and nights sitting by her father's hospital bed, whispering promises she wasn't sure she could keep. But everything changed the day her father's debts came knocking. Manoban Corp - a name that could silence entire boardrooms - held the chains to her father's failed company. And standing at the head of it all was Lisa Manoban: the cold, untouchable CEO with an empire at her feet and eyes that never betrayed a flicker of mercy. Jennie went to her office expecting rejection, maybe humiliation. She didn't expect an offer. "Be mine," Lisa said simply, as if it were the easiest transaction in the world. "A girlfriend for the cameras. In exchange, your father's debts disappear, and his hospital bills are taken care of." It was supposed to be a deal - insensitive, calculated, a cruel mockery of love. But deals have a way of blurring into something else when the heart becomes collateral. Jennie was smart enough to know better. She was cool enough to hide her trembling. But behind her brave eyes was the truth she could never admit: she was just a girl, soft and fragile, carrying a weight too heavy for her shoulders. And Lisa, who had never known what it meant to love, was about to learn that some exchanges can't be calculated. Because in the world of power and desperation, the only thing more dangerous than debt... was love itself.Complete
