UNDER ONE ROOF - 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... "The Space Between" They say marriage is a promise. A choice. A vow you speak once, and then remember every day after. Jennie Kim and Lalisa Manoban have been married for three years. Secretly. Quietly. Without ceremony, without applause. What began as fierce, reckless love-midnight drives, whispered I love you's between courtrooms and trauma wards-has turned into something colder. They still live together. Still sleep side by side. But the silence between them is louder than ever. No one knows they're wives. Not their friends. Not their families. Some days, they wonder if they even are anymore. This isn't a story about falling in love. It's a story about what comes after. The loneliness of staying. The bravery of leaving. And the question that haunts every marriage: What if love isn't enough?Complete

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

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?

Marry Me Anyway - JENLISA
The Promise No One Heard "I'll stand beside you, even if I'm the only one who knows I'm not supposed to." ⸻ The wedding invitations were already printed. A thousand ivory envelopes sealed with Jennie's initials. It was supposed to be the happiest weekend of her life. Lisa stood in the shadows of the hallway, watching as Jennie sat on the floor of her dressing room - veil undone, hair coming loose, face pale under the soft lights. She wasn't crying anymore. That part was over. Now, she just looked hollow. Lisa's heart had broken a hundred times for her. But tonight, it shattered in a new, final way. "I saw him," Jennie had whispered. "I went to the office to surprise him. She was on his desk." Lisa hadn't asked who she was. She didn't need to. The answer didn't matter. What mattered was the girl in front of her, breathing like her chest was cracked open. And the silence between them, full of all the things Lisa would never say. She wanted to take Jennie's hand. She wanted to say, "Choose me instead." But what she said was: "You don't have to marry him." Jennie laughed bitterly. "You think I can just disappear? After everything my family's done, after all the guests...? The papers already think we're perfect." Lisa hesitated. Then something inside her - the part that had loved Jennie for years, in shadows and silence - broke free. "Then marry me." The words fell like glass between them. Jennie blinked slowly. "What?" "You need someone," Lisa said softly. "Let it be me." And for a moment, Jennie didn't answer. She just stared - like she wasn't sure if Lisa was serious. Like maybe, deep down, part of her had always known this moment would come. "Why would you do that?" she whispered. Lisa looked away. Because if she looked into her eyes, she wouldn't survive it. "Because you don't deserve to stand alone. Not now. Not ever." That night, a new contract was signed. And Lisa became Jennie's bride.Complete
