In a world ruled by greed, control, and power, Lisa survives with a camera in one hand and desserts in the other-small, defiant acts of care in a reality that demands armor. She doesn't seek attention, but she draws it anyway. Six strangers, each carrying their own quiet burdens, find themselves pulled into her orbit, held by something they can't quite name.
As their lives intertwine, old secrets begin to shimmer beneath the surface-some divine, some dangerous.
Told with lyrical restraint and emotional precision, The Glow Beneath the Skin is a story of found family, mythic inheritance, and the quiet ways we save each other.
Some stories burn.

UNWRITTEN ENCOUNTER - JENLISA (ON-GOING)
Two worlds existed, separate and untouchable-one bathed in light, brimming with warmth and life; the other cloaked in shadows, quiet, haunting, and infinite. They were never meant to meet. Their paths were set, their destinies written in isolation. But fate is reckless, and sometimes it does not obey the rules. In an instant, their worlds collided-unexpected, impossible, and irrevocable. She, with a heart that burned like sunlight, and he, whose soul whispered in the language of the night, were drawn together by forces they could neither see nor resist. Every glance was a spark; every touch threatened to shatter the fragile boundaries between them. Love, dangerous and breathtaking, bloomed between the cracks of their realities. It was a love that defied reason, that demanded sacrifice, that asked them to choose each other against all odds. And yet, the closer they came, the more they felt the pull of the worlds trying to tear them apart-a storm that threatened to swallow everything they held dear. In the end, they would have to decide: surrender to the divide, or fight to forge a world where they could belong together. Because some love is worth breaking the rules of reality itself. ~~ Nyeong-An! This story is just came out from nowhere, It's just crossed my mind and then here I am, writing about it. I'm giving it a shot again, so please bear with me. I'll try to update as many as i can, kekeke! 😬 I'm a huge fan of JENLISA stories! ✨ I've read different stories about them and in different genres!

I hope you can still support my story huhu. I promise to give you a wonderful story so please don't judge me 🤩 -@reign✨
Labyrinth
Lisa doesn't believe in love anymore - not after the person she trusted the most tore her apart and left her drowning in guilt. She keeps her heart locked behind sarcasm, silence, and the cruel comfort of "whatever happens, happens." She tells herself she's moved on - that friendship is safer, that numb is better than broken. And then there's Jennie. The girl who sees past Lisa's walls. The one who stays. Who listens. Who reaches out even when Lisa pulls away. They're best friends, nothing more - at least that's what they keep telling themselves. Lisa who views the world expecting chaos - instead finds something she never saw coming: warmth, understanding, and the kind of acceptance she thought didn't exist anymore. But hearts don't follow rules, and pretending not to care doesn't make the feelings disappear. How do you trust love again when you're still bleeding from the last one? "Why are you so distant when I'm here? When I'm giving me to you?" "It scares me." "There's nothing to be afraid of."
My Brother's Bestfriend (Jenlisa)
'N-No. I don't think this is it...' When the time came for her to experience her first time, Jennie was in complete shock. This was because her boyfriend's thing was incredibly small. All the romantic fantasies she had dreamed of came shattering down in no time. After breaking up, she only wallowed in her despair for a brief moment. Her older brother's friend, whom she had known since she was young, began to catch her eye. "......!" She could see an outline of something long and thick on his right thigh. It looks like her ideal preference remains intact. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Jennie's heart began to beat faster. Love bloomed out of trivial things, but it also cracked due to trivial matters. "What does the fact that the bastard has a small thing have to do with you kissing me?" "You're big, Oppa!" "How could you possibly know that?" "I saw it!" ...Damn it. "You should have hidden it better, Oppa..." Jennie continued to sneak glances at him with a carefree expression. Whenever their eyes met, she'd start giggling. He could hardly believe this was happening. "Sleep with me just once." ...This was ridiculous. Seriously. "I won't beat around the bush. If you sleep with me just once, I think I can continue living on those memories alone."

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, f-" "Why do you always stop at four?" "I like the number two and four is a multiple of the number 2," "Then why don't you just stop at two?" "Because we have ten fingers," "So?" "If I stop at 2, my count will stop in one round. It has to be two rounds." "You're weird..." "..." "I like you, let's be friends!" Lisa is someone who struggles with autism, which has deeply affected her ability to connect with others. Due to her condition, Lisa has never experienced the feeling of being loved, leaving her unable to trust anyone apart from herself. At the age of 18, Lisa decided to leave her family and run away to Korea. Only her grandmother's personal assistant was aware of her plans and helped her leave. Lisa has remained under the radar for almost two years, avoiding building relationships with others. However, everything changed when Lisa met Jennie, a social butterfly well-known for her beauty and friendly personality. Jennie has a harmonious family and a large group of friends, making it difficult for her to understand what it's like to be alone. She trusts others easily and believes that everyone has good intentions. It was on Jennie's first day of college that she met Lisa, who was the complete opposite of her. Intrigued by Lisa's aloofness, Jennie decided to try to get her attention simply because Lisa was different from her other friends. Will Jennie and Lisa be able to fill each other's shortcomings and form a meaningful relationship?

After Meet You (ENG)
Lisa had everything-wealth, beauty, and a name respected across the city. But a tragic accident left her body paralyzed, her world shrunken to the walls of a golden cage, and her heart locked away behind silence and sorrow. Then came Jennie-poor, bright-eyed, and full of life. Desperate for a job, she knocked on Lisa's mansion door with nothing but a warm smile and a stubborn hope. Hired as her personal caregiver, Jennie brings a whirlwind of laughter, kindness, and unexpected color into Lisa's cold, quiet world. Day by day, Jennie's presence melts the ice around Lisa's heart. What begins as duty slowly turns into something deeper-something tender, something terrifying, something like love. But can two souls from such different worlds truly come together? Can love bloom between stillness and motion, between brokenness and light? A story of healing, rediscovery, and the kind of love that moves even the most unmoving heart.
Echoes of Home
Every wound tells a story. Every hug carries history. And every laugh is a rebellion against everything lost. If you've ever loved someone through distance, waited for a voice you weren't sure you'd hear again, or fought to reclaim joy after everything changed.... this story is waiting for you. It's not about survival. It's about coming home. This is the story of what happens after the world breaks, and before the heart fully heals. Lives drift apart in silence, held together only by memory, loyalty, and the ache of what used to be. It's a journey of fractured timelines, of love waiting in the quiet, and of friendships remade under pressure. At its core, this is about choosing each other again when hope seems misplaced and finding home not in safety but in presence. If you've ever felt out of sync with your own story, this one knows how it feels. And it will remind you: the heart remembers its rhythm, even after everything else forgets.Complete
