"What do you want to eat?"

"Huh?" Jungkook's sudden question left Lisa momentarily stunned.

"What do you want to eat?"

"It's okay. I'm not really hungry."

"Korean or Western?" Jungkook asked again, ignoring Lisa's response.

After some hesitation, Lisa realized with reluctance that this guy was just as bossy as he had been back in the day. She could only compromise.

"Korean."

Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped before luxurious Korean restaurant.

Jungkook led her inside, heading straight up to the private rooms on the second floor.

Then he ordered some shrimp dumplings, crab congee, Kimchi and other side dishes.

Lisa hadn't had such a lavish breakfast in a very long time. As she ate, she kept sneaking glances at Jungkook.

She saw that, while he ate with immaculate table manners, he was scrolling on his cell phone with his other hand, checking on the day's stock market.

After she finished, Lisa set down her spoon. "I'm done," she said slowly.

"Okay, then get your card and pay the bill," Jungkook said nonchalantly.

"What? Why am I paying the bill?" Lisa was about to explode. She didn't think Jungkook was this stingy. Besides, at a place this luxurious, breakfast had to cost not less than a fortune.

Like she had that kind of cash on her. All she had left were about ten thousand won of pocket change.

Jungkook looked up. Picking up a napkin, he dabbed at the corner of his mouth gracefully before speaking.

"I transferred my salary for this month to your card last night," he said with a casual look, "of course you're paying the bill."

"I…"

Lisa was petrified.

He just said that he had transferred his salary for this month onto her card? This information had come too suddenly for her to absorb fully.

"Waiter, bill please," Jungkook said.

"Yes sir, your total comes up to 205,534 won."

"My wife will pay," Jungkook said lazily, pointing at Lisa.

Lisa pulled out the only debit card from her purse. If she remembered correctly, there was less than 80 thousand won left on that card. She didn't know how much Jungkook had transferred her. He wasn't toying with her, was he?

After swiping the card, the waiter carefully returned it to her. Then, the two of them walked out of the restaurant together.

Lisa was still mulling over a question that she was too embarrassed to ask out loud.

"You want to ask me how much my monthly salary is, don't you?" seeing her hesitation, Jungkook asked the question for her.

Lisa immediately nodded.

The adorable gesture she made had Jungkook lifting the corners of his lips ever so slightly.

"Why don't you check on your banking app later?"

"-_-"

What kind of stinking response was that? Was he messing around with her?

Just then, Jungkook's cell phone rang.

"Alright, I got it. But I have important business to attend to right now. Tell them to delay the meeting another thirty minutes."

When he finished, Jungkook hung up the phone.
