Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 6.3

Apparently, this woman is not only in charge of getting rice at the campus cafeteria. That's right, Lisa is a nutritionist and chef as well. Come to think of it, so far it seems like there has never been anyone who specifically cooked for him, Jungkook thought.

Is it okay if I just accept this woman's good intentions? Can I trust her?

In the midst of Jungkook's suspicion and confusion, Lisa continued to speak.

"I also can't arrange the plant pots according to their size because there are plants that don't really need sunlight and plants that can't be blocked from sunlight. You have to be patient about that too. Then, if you're not happy about Sung Won's messy wardrobe, you can talk to him about it directly. Maybe he'll listen to you if you explain the importance of organizing his clothes neatly to him. But I can't guarantee it. Do you understand now?"

Lisa barely took a breath and said all that in one breath. Then, before Jungkook could respond to the woman's lecture, Lisa resumed her speech as if something had been forgotten.

"Oh, yes. Do you want to know why I'm doing this?"

Lisa finally brought up the point of their conversation that Jungkook had been wanting to know. Jungkook silently waited for Lisa's next words.

What excuse will this woman come up with?

"I really, really hate you, but what can I do? After all, now you're part of this family."

"Family?"

What an unexpected answer. Family... What a strange word. Jungkook, who was not too familiar with the word 'family', raised his eyebrows at the word. Meanwhile, 'family' seemed to have a very important and precious meaning to Lisa. Only then did Jungkook realize what he meant to this woman.

Lisa is trying to accept Jungkook's current self. Like the stray cat she picked up on the street, the potted plants someone left her, and her other siblings who are currently living with her. Apparently, she thinks that she 'picked' him up. Then, this woman was really sincere this time.

Lisa really sincerely cooked specially for Jungkook and helped light up the dark night for that man. Without any ulterior motives or intentions.

"Whether we stay for one day or one month, the point is that we live together. Is 'family' something strange? Understanding each other, being patient, and adjusting to each other. That's what family is. Therefore, if there is something you don't like, you have to be patient."

"Because we're family?"

Jungkook gave the answer Lisa, who was staring at Jungkook blankly, wanted. Then, Lisa who finally got the answer she wanted, nodded slowly with a satisfied face while looking at Jungkook with surprise mixed with admiration. It turns out that this man can still be told too, Lisa thought.

"That's right. It seems that now you understand what I mean. Now don't complain about what I've prepared and please eat. Understood?"

"Will you now also remove the mushroom from my food?"

"This is a house, not a hotel. You should be willing to eat whatever is prepared and survive no matter what. What kind of man are you, so fussy?"

Jungkook was silent, staring at Lisa who grumbled annoyedly at him for a while. Lisa looked at him like that and thought something was stuck on her face.

"Why? Didn't you understand what I said? Or is there something strange on my face?"

"No. I understood. And there's nothing strange on your face either."

As if not believing even though Jungkook said there was nothing on her face, Lisa kept wiping her cheeks. Seeing her like that, Jungkook realized his own mistake for the first time.
