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."

"Jennie? What are you doing here?" Taehyung murmured. He saw Jennie give that mischievous smile that he had missed so much and winked at him as she unlocked his cell door and slipped inside his cell. "How did you...?" He muttered, still in disbelief, but then he saw a lot of soldiers and policemen scatter around the area, taking all of Leon's men and freeing each and every man from the human cages to take with them. He was startled when he felt Jennie abruptly hug him, burying and rubbing her face on his chest, as if there were no tomorrow. He quickly hugged her back tightly, burying his face in her hair. "I was so worried about you. I always knew you are alive... I'm so grateful right now," he heard Jennie murmur. "I missed you so much..." Taehyung kept mumbling those words, still burying his face in her hair to savor her sweet scent. He was so overwhelmed by emotions seeing Jennie was right there in front of him, that tears began to shine in his eyes. But to his horror, Jennie's face had started to fade. "What's going on?" He mumbled as he tried to hug her tightly. But then her body had also started to vanish, until he could no longer feel it. "No... No... No!" He shouted as he tried to get a hold of her, but he couldn't. She had completely disappeared from his sight. 'No! This couldn't be a dream!' He was thrown into a panic as he kept mumbling, "No, please no... please..."
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
The unscripted romance
{Original work} In the glittering, cutthroat galaxy of South Korean entertainment, where every smile is a carefully curated performance, the raw, open animosity between Lalisa Manobal and Jeon Jungkook is less a secret, more a force of nature. She's the ethereal siren of the screen, known for her razor-sharp wit off-camera. He's the industry's charming 'golden boy' actor, with a mischievous glint in his eye that promises trouble. Their 'conversations' aren't exchanges; they're verbal duels, each word a finely honed blade. "Fancy seeing you here, Jeon," Lisa's voice purrs, a silken thread of sarcasm. "Still trying to find a role that challenges you beyond blinking on command?" Jungkook's smile, usually a weapon of mass adoration, sharpens to a dangerous edge. "And you, Lalisa. Still perfecting the art of making an exit mid-scene when the actual acting gets too demanding?" Their rivalry isn't just talk. It escalates into outright chaos, from 'accidentally' ruining each other's meticulously planned PR stunts with a well-timed social media post, to strategically leaking embarrassing set photos, leading to frantic "Damage Control" sessions that stretch the patience of their long-suffering managers and teams to their absolute limits. The entire industry watches, a blend of horrified fascination and gleeful expectation. But now, in a move that sent shockwaves through every studio and agency, these two titans of tension have been cast as the passionate leads in Celestial Bonds, the year's most anticipated drama. Forced to spend every waking moment together, rehearsing intimate scenes, and navigating relentless media scrutiny, the thin line between their scripted animosity and their very real, deeply rooted disdain begins to fray. Can two such formidable adversaries, whose careers have been built on outshining and out-maneuvering each other, truly find something other than contempt in the other's eyes?

Cold Scent - Jenlisa
The scent hits first. Dark rose, white pepper, and something sharp underneath - like cold metal at midnight. Jennie Ruby Jane walks through the glass doors of Kim Corp's headquarters, and time bends. Staff straighten up. Conversations drop mid-sentence. She doesn't look at anyone. She never needs to. Her heels click against imported marble as if announcing a verdict, not an arrival. Her face is unreadable - not emotionless, just carefully engineered. As perfect and untouchable as the perfume empire she built from scratch. Jennie is not warm. She is gravity in a black suit. ⸻ On the 28th floor, Lisa hears the footsteps before she sees her. Always five minutes early. Always in black. Always smelling like heartbreak in a bottle. Lisa turns slightly, pretending to read the numbers on her iPad. Her fingers hover above the screen, frozen. Don't look like you've loved her for years. Jennie walks past her. Doesn't speak. Just pauses for a half-second - enough to flick her gaze toward Lisa's direction - then disappears into the corner office. Lisa doesn't breathe until the door closes. ⸻ It's been 4 years. 4 promotions. Hundreds of sleepless nights building the very campaigns that made Jennie Kim ahousehold name across Southeast Asia. Lisa is the youngest Marketing Director in company history. She's sharp, strategic, respected. Instead, she's exhausted - from carrying numbers on her back by day and emotions on her chest by night. Jennie never touches her. Never says her name unless necessary. Never lets her get too close. But somehow... never quite lets her go, either. ⸻ Rosé says Lisa's addicted to the pain. Jisoo just calls it career suicide in slow motion. Lisa doesn't answer either of them. She just keeps showing up. Keeps designing campaigns around the way Jennie moves. Keeps writing scent descriptions that read more like love letters. Keeps pretending her chest doesn't ache every time Jennie smiles - just slightly - at someone who isn't herComplete
