In the bustling city of Seoul, Jennie Kim and Lisa Manoban grew up as inseparable childhood friends. Their bond was forged not only by their own friendship but also by the close relationship between their families. Jennie's parents and Lisa's parents had been friends since their own school days, and the two families often spent time together, treating each other like extended family.
Jennie and Lisa were the only children of their respective parents, and they shared everything from toys to secrets. Despite their different personalities, they complemented each other perfectly. Lisa, with her tomboyish charm, was adventurous and bold, while Jennie, with her feminine grace, was nurturing and supportive.
As they navigated through school together, their friendship only grew stronger. They attended the same university, pursuing their passions while still being each other's pillar of support. After graduation, they both joined their family businesses, working tirelessly to make their mark in the competitive world of hospitality.
Jennie's family owned a chain of successful restaurants, renowned for their exquisite cuisine and warm ambiance. Lisa's family, on the other hand, managed a prestigious line of hotels, known for their luxury and impeccable service. Despite their different specialties, Jennie and Lisa shared a deep love for the hospitality industry, fueled by their childhood dreams of creating memorable experiences for people.
Lalisa Manoban's childhood dream shattered right in front of her eyes once she flickered her eyes open in an unfamiliar room.
After a rough year of meeting the same psychiatrist over and over, also locked herself in the room weeping for the whole day, Lisa at last learn to move on and started a fresh new life.
"May I know what is your name?" Politely, the drop-dead gorgeous lady asked me.
Her face was full of curiosity, hope...and despair.
"Lalisa Manoban." I flashed a toothy grin to the customer, kind of wanted to cheer her up.
The cup of hot cocoa was trembling in her hand, created the berserk wave of her drink before it dropped upon the tiles and shattered in pieces.
"N-no way..." She was as a stunt as a statue on her stand, her hand was freeze in the air while tears could be seen pooled in her eyes.
