After riding the subway train for over an hour, they finally reached the city center.

As soon as they left the subway station, Jungkook asked nervously, "Have you gotten pushed by someone in there?"

Lisa shook her head, "You had protected me so well, how could someone push me".

For a full hour and a half, Jungkook maintained his position and protected Lisa in front of his chest, he was afraid that someone would touch and push his girl.

Jungkook took Lisa's hand and the two of them walked towards the highway ahead.

Lisa looked at him and said seriously, "Jungkook, actually you don't need to be so nervous over me. I'm not as frail as you think. I can love a hard life".

Although Lisa grew up in a family that did not need her to worry about food and clothing, and that her family was well off. But her parents have educated her from a young age. She doesn't act spoiled and she can use anything and eat food that ordinary people eat. She can live a hard life too.

"I know". Jungkook restrained himself from holding Lisa's hand tighter.

He knew Lisa wasn't a spoiled girl, he knew that even if he didn't protect this girl, Lisa could have survived the crowd in the subway earlier.

But this girl was so kind. Just being with him was very troublesome for her, how could he have the heart to let Lisa experienced more suffering. He has nothing, so he could only try so hard to be nice to Lisa.

The time was already over 6 o clock when they got out of the subway. In the early winter, the sky darkens faster. When Lisa and Jungkook reached the pedestrian area, all the street lights had been turned on. Many colorful lights hung above the trees.

There was lots of couples on the streets on Christmas Eve and it happened to be a place to eat, so most of the restaurants around them were full. There were several restaurants that have to queue.

"I don't want to stand in line, let's just eat something else". Lisa pulled Jungkook out of the western restaurant, "There is something delicious next street. Let's just eat some grilled fish. I haven't eaten it for a long time".

Jungkook frowned, his gaze stared deeply at Lisa and was silent for a moment before seriously said, "You don't have to think about helping me saving money".

"I don't want to save your money. I've been to the grilled fish shop many times with my friends, it's really good". Lisa spoke while hugged Jungkook's arm, pulling him forward.

Lisa really didn't think about saving Jungkook money, she did want to eat the grilled fish.

But when they got to the next street, they realized that everywhere was just the same, there were people everywhere.

The grilled fish shop that Lisa used to eat was fully crowded, there were more than to dozen tables that had been set outside the shop.

Lisa was so sad, she said to Jungkook, "In the future, we'll just buy the groceries to cook ourselves on Christmas Eve. It's too busy outside".

She pursed her lips in annoyance. Jungkook smiled at her, "So what now?"

Jungkook looked around and pointed to a shop across the street, "Let's just eat there".

The shop at the opposite was also a grilled fish shop, but the business was rather quiet.

Jungkook glanced across and said, "It seems a bite empty, does the food taste bad?"

"Let's just try".

When Lisa and Jungkook got in there, there was only one table occupied by customers. On Christmas Eve with people lining up everywhere, these circumstances were kind of sad.
