Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 4.1

Jungkook narrowed his eyes slightly at Lisa who responded to his words with a serious face. Nevertheless, he still showed an expressionless face to Lisa.

"You'll probably be dismissed from the cafeteria where you work now. They can easily find a replacement for you."

"Hey, listen to me."

"Then, your sister is pretty. But for some reason, she doesn't look very seductive. You know, people can do anything if they have to, right?"

Okay, this person was now threatening her openly. What's even more terrifying is that everything he says might come true. Lisa gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"No home, no job. Let alone not being able to take care of your sister, aren't you overwhelmed yourself?"

"Yes. I know. I have no home, no job. If Hee Won hadn't listened to me, I would have been overwhelmed. But I know that I'll be even more overwhelmed if I have to deal with a man like you. Let me out now. I think my words were clear enough."

Lisa replied so firmly and coldly that there was no chance for the two men to interrupt her.

Her face looked firm, not wavering in the slightest.

This woman should feel uneasy. She should have been scared. However, she remained so firm and calm that even Jungkook was amazed. Perhaps, this woman belongs to a different human species than the one he has known, Jungkook thought. Completely different.

"Wait, Lisa-ssi. Sorry. Right now Jungkook is in such distress that he acted like that. I hope you can understand."

Jason, who couldn't wait to see his friend's behavior, finally interrupted their conversation.

"So what?"

"Yes?"

"I ask, why should I tolerate this brash person who doesn't know his manners?"

Lisa said while looking at Jungkook sharply. This time, even Jason couldn't say anything to defend his friend.

The woman's words were true, while Jungkook showed absolutely no attitude to admit his mistake. Jason wrinkled his forehead. He realized, if the situation remained like this, then they would not be able to get what they wanted.

"You just need to attend the wedding. I don't want to be rude to you either."

"What you're doing to me right now is already pretty rude. I don't understand why there are people who really don't know themselves like you."

"I have no other choice. This is really a very important matter."

Lisa felt like she was talking to a cold hard wall. It seemed like the woman named Yoo Shin Hee was the only thing in this man's brain. His friend said that this person was being pressured, while he himself said that this was really an important matter.

"You're really strange, and your girlfriend is also really incomprehensible. Why did she invite me to her wedding?"

"Because you are my partner."

Lisa almost choked on his short and clear answer. It turned out that this guy had really gone crazy. He was really in love with that woman in Hwaniwon the other day. However, if this man really loved her, he should have chased after her and held her hand back then. After all, even if they split up, it's both of their problems.

Lisa couldn't understand why she had to be dragged into the romance of two people she didn't know at all.

"I'm not your partner. And you're not my partner. You're in love with that woman named Yoo Shin Hee, right?"

Lisa said firmly and as clearly as possible, as if she was talking to Soo Hee who was still in kindergarten.

For the first time, Jungkook's expression changed. The man who had always put on an expressionless, cold, and disrespectful face now looked as if his breath had stopped.

Bingo. That's right. The two of them, it turns out, are still in love. But why does he keep doing this to her?

"It's none of your business."

"That's what I mean. I have absolutely nothing to do with you two. So, please let me go. I beg you."

Jungkook, who seemed to be about to say something, put on his cold face again, while Lisa kept looking at him sarcastically.

At the wedding, the woman he loved would marry another man. No wonder he felt uncomfortable. Of course he felt sad. However, that doesn't mean this person can take his sadness out on Lisa, right?

"I really don't understand why you're doing this to me. What did I do to you?"

"I need you."

"You can't always get what you want. You're an adult, right. You should understand that."

"So far, I've never given up on what I want."

"Then, it's time for you to learn that. Well, even if it's quite late."

Jungkook looked straight at Lisa whose anger had peaked and now looked impatient. He also had a momentary glance with Jason who glanced at him through the center mirror. They had to find another way.

On second thought, they should have known from the beginning that this woman was not a woman who could be threatened easily. Jungkook tried to remember everything about Lisa from Jason's investigation documents about this woman.

This woman must have some weaknesses. If the issue of the soon-to-be foreclosed house isn't a problem for this woman, there must be another weakness.

Jungkook began to flip through the records about this woman one by one in his brain. What was her nature like, who did she live with, how was her life.

Silence fell over the car for a few moments, followed by Jungkook's desperate sighs.

"I'm sorry. It doesn't seem possible."

Hearing Jungkook's apology, Lisa raised her head and looked at him. There was no sign of regret on his face, but his expression had clearly changed. The hurt look on his face somehow made Lisa feel uncomfortable.

Even though the one who made the mistake was the man, but somehow the feeling of pity made Lisa doubt her decision.

"Why didn't you marry that woman? If you really loved her, you could have held her hand and asked her to go with you, instead of kidnapping me like this."

Lisa, who felt safer at that moment, gave Jungkook a cautious suggestion. Even if the wedding is today, it's still not too late. Although it would hurt her future groom's heart, at least it was still better than letting him marry a woman who loved someone else. Even though it's not as beautiful as in the movies, at least the two of them won't live in misery in the future.

"Shin Hee doesn't want that."

"If you propose to her like this, of course she will reject you."

Jungkook replied in a softer voice, and Lisa told her in a more relaxed tone.

"Oh yeah? So that's the problem..."

Hearing Jungkook who was muttering to himself, Lisa who had been watching the road outside the window and wondering silently when she could get out of the car immediately turned to Jungkook with a surprised look.

Perhaps, he really treated that woman like this? No wonder. It turns out that this person's way of thinking is indeed like a one-way street.

"Of course. You know, in this world there is also such a thing as 'asking for help' and 'personal matters'. Not just 'threats' or 'negotiations'."

"If I had personal business and asked you for a favor, would you grant it?"

"No."

Of course not for Lisa. However, it seems that Jungkook has now found a way to persuade this woman. His gaze briefly looks excited again, but Lisa, who has been too secure and calm, doesn't notice.
