A Short Story.
Jennie Kim returns to Korea with her dinosaur-obsessed 4-year-old son Riley Kim and one big problem: her grandfather assumes she has a wife. Desperate to keep the lie from unraveling, Jennie ropes in her high school ex, Lisa Manoban, now the charming owner of a dino-themed café called DinoBrew.
What starts as a fake marriage to impress family turns into late-night confessions, stegosaurus pancakes, and a second chance neither of them expected. As old feelings resurface and Riley starts calling Lisa "Mama," Jennie finds herself wondering-what if this pretend life is exactly what she's always needed?
Includes chaotic cousins, café romance, a slowburn fluff overload, and one very dramatic 4-year-old dino prince.
