Jennie Kim is stressed. Her landlord just raised the rent on her tiny, moldy apartment, and she's one week away from being completely broke. Enter Lisa Manoban: Jennie's chaotic, incredibly rich, and effortlessly cool best friend. Lisa lives alone in a massive, breathtaking penthouse that her parents bought her, and she has more than enough space to share.
Moving in together seems like the perfect solution. But there's a catch.
Lisa is the ultimate college playgirl-flirty, popular, and always joking around. Everyone on campus loves her, but she values her friendship with Jennie above everything else. There's just one person Lisa cannot stand: Jennie's boyfriend, Kai. Lisa thinks he is arrogant, toxic, and bad for her best friend.
Now, living under the same roof, Lisa is on a mission to be the best roommate ever, protect Jennie from her annoying boyfriend, and bring total chaos into Jennie's organized life. Will they survive living together, or will Lisa's wild energy drive Jennie crazy?

In the heart of Seoul, where the skyscrapers pierce the clouds like jagged glass needles, the name Jennie Kim is spoken in hushed, reverent whispers. To the world, she is the "Untouchable"-the ruthless CEO of Kim Empire, a woman who wields power like a blade and wears her coldness as armor. She moves through the city's high-stakes boardrooms and neon-lit nightclubs with a predatory grace, seeking temporary heat in the arms of strangers to drown out the silence of a haunted past. But across the city, tucked away in a quiet corner where the scent of roasted beans and lavender lingers in the air, exists a different world. Lisa Manoban, the spirited heir to a Thai dynasty who traded her golden cage for a modest apron, runs "Life's Cafe." She is sunshine filtered through a storm-soft, approachable, yet possessing a savage wit that keeps the world at bay. One is a storm of ice; the other, a slow-burning hearth. Melting the Untouchable is the chronicle of their collision-a poetic exploration of guilt, desire, and the messy, violent process of breaking open a heart that was never meant to feel again. #jenlisa #jentop #gp #fanfictionComplete

PLAY ALONG WITH ME
Jennie Kim never believed in fairy tales. Not in destiny. Not in soulmates. Certainly not in miracles. But tonight, in the middle of a crowded hotel restaurant glowing gold under crystal chandeliers, she needed one badly enough to steal it from a stranger's table. Because across the room sat her ex, her investors, and the family currently trying to destroy her reputation. And Jennie - for the first time in years - had arrived alone. Then she saw her. Laughing too loudly. Stealing fries off someone else's plate. Pretty in the kind of effortless way that made expensive people nervous. The girl looked up at the exact wrong moment. Their eyes met. Jennie stood before she could think herself out of it. "Hi," she said smoothly, already pulling out the empty chair beside the stranger. "I need you to pretend to be in love with me for the next thirty minutes." The girl blinked once. Then grinned. "Oh," she said. "This sounds fun." Jennie should've walked away right there.
