Just then, the electric stove beeped, signaling that the water had finished boiling. Lisa immediately pushed Jungkook aside and got up awkwardly.

"Um… the water's ready. Let's have hotpot."

"Okay."

Jungkook's expression was filled with desire. He obviously wanted more but still listened to Lisa.

It was early autumn and a little chilly. The couple enjoyed a steaming meal of hot pot at home, their hearts warm with broth and each other.

Suddenly, Jungkook's cell phone began to ring…

It was bambam.

"What do you want?"

"I just got off work, let's go out for a drink." Bambam was in high spirits.

"No."

"Why not?" Bambam immediately became unhappy at Jungkook's rejection.

"I already ate at home."

"Oh, so you're spending time with your wife. I haven't had dinner yet, can I bum a meal off of you guys?"

"No," Jungkook refused decisively.

"Hey, what kind of a friend are you? Think about it, I helped you and Lisa out a lot! Lisa was going to marry that ex-boyfriend of hers, who was busted hiring prostitutes. Did I or did I not call you at once, and create an opportunity for you guys? Then, I helped investigate that truck. Oh, and when Lisa got into that fight with the patient's family and was injured, didn't I call you right away too? I can't believe that you would burn bridges so soon! Are capitalists all like you?"

Bambam rambled on and on, softening up Jungkook's determined attitude …

He looked at Lisa. She immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Bambam wants to come here for dinner."

"Yeah, he can come."

Just as Bambam was about to thank Lisa, she said, "Let me call Chaeyoung over as well."

"Oh, hey, I just remembered that there's something urgent I need to deal with, I'll pass on dinner tonight. Maybe another time. Ha~"

Before hanging up, Bambam said to Jungkook, "Jungkook, you guys make a good couple, you're both evil."

Then, he hung up…

Jungkook laughed as he put his phone on the table…

"What are you laughing at?" Lisa looked at him, confused.

"Nothing." Jungkook didn't want to say.

The next day, Jungkook had to catch the plane to go on a business trip, so he woke up early to leave.

As Lisa was eating breakfast, she suddenly remembered how disgusting the food at South Side cafeteria was and decided to pack her own lunch.

The patients' meals at South Side Recuperation Center were really good, because they paid for it themselves, and the ingredients were flown in fresh from the source.

However, the chefs at South Side, usually busy cooking for the patients, would often ignore the employees.

Lisa thought that their stir-fry tasted like pig food. Of course, she never had pig food before, but it was an educated guess.

To save time, Lisa made kimbap, which was a Korean-style of sushi. She also bought a jar of kimchi when she passed by the grocery store.

It was a perfect combination…
