Some love stories begin with fireworks.
Theirs began with salt in the air.
Lisa B. Manoban never planned on staying in Hawaii. The internship was temporary. The ocean was temporary. The people were temporary.
Jennie Kim was not.
She belonged to the island in a way he never could. Rooted. Steady. Certain. She didn't fall for charm. She didn't chase attention.
She gave him seven days.
Seven days to prove he wouldn't leave like the others.
He stayed.
But staying for a week is not the same as staying when it matters.
Years later, the ocean brings him back to Oahu-not as the reckless intern, but as the heir of Manoban Properties.
Successful. Controlled. Untouchable.
Until he sees a little boy on a dock who looks at the world the way he used to.
And the sea remembers what he tried to forget.
Some tides don't ask for permission when they return.

MY NERDY WIFE
Lisa Manoban grew up in a family of lawyers - brilliant, strict, and determined to make her the next heir of their prestigious firm. But Lisa was nothing like the rest. Shy, soft-spoken, and always with her glasses on, she preferred quiet corners, case files, and the gentle sound of her guitar over noisy crowds. Jennie Kim, on the other hand, was the confident queen bee of their school - heir to the powerful Kim Corporation and the girl everyone wanted to be or be with. She had beauty, power, and a line of suitors who tried endlessly to impress her. But to Jennie, they all felt the same - predictable, shallow, and tiring. None of them ever saw her, not the way Lisa did. Before the titles and the fame, Jennie and Lisa were inseparable - childhood best friends who shared laughter, secrets, and late afternoons spent with Lisa playing her guitar while Jennie listened quietly beside her. But as they grew older, their worlds drifted apart - Jennie into her glamorous circle, and Lisa into her quiet routine of books and melodies. Still, every time they met again, something familiar sparked between them. Lisa's heart would flutter, her cheeks turning red whenever Jennie smiled her way. And Jennie - though she acted nonchalant - always noticed. It's a story about two people from different worlds, about love that grew in silence and never truly faded. Because sometimes, the person you've been looking for has been beside you all along - tuning a guitar and smiling shyly under the same sky. _________ Jenlisa ft. Chaesoo!

That dawn, A man, dragged in while the rain drizzled down, was locked in the back room, unconscious. ________________________________________ "Ugh!" Suddenly, something snatched her wrist. Jennie unconsciously let out a groan and raised her head. The man, whom she thought was unconscious, was staring at her with wide, pale eyes. In his long, narrow eyes were dark pupils like a full moon. The perfectly black pupils slowly traced over her hat, her half-hidden eyes, and her mask, then went back up to her eyes. Even though their eyes had only met, she couldn't move. It felt as if a beast's hot, fishy tongue, not just a gaze, was passing over her face. The man opened his lips as if to speak. It would be a big problem if he said anything and the master heard his voice. Jennie hurriedly covered the man's mouth. His lips touched her rough palm. "Shh... Please be quiet, please."
