Last night, they... in the bathtub... never mind, it was too dirty to bring up something like this in the morning.

"You made Korean?" Lisa was surprised to see Korean dishes placed on the dining table.

Jungkook rarely made Korean food; even if he did, he only made fried eggs or veggie noodles...

However, today he made congee with pork and preserved egg, as well as pumpkin patties. Gosh, pumpkin patties.

The pumpkin patties weren't that round and were even a little burnt.

"The congee was easy to make, but the pumpkin patties weren't. I timed it wrong, and kind of burned them..."

"Not at all, they look delicious."

Then, Lisa placed a patty in her bowl and took a small bite.

"How is it?" Jungkook asked nervously.

"It's delicious and sweet. Did you steam the pumpkin first before mixing it with flour?"

Jungkook nodded...

"Genius..." Lisa exclaimed.

Pumpkin patties were hard to make; although Lisa loved them, she was always too lazy to make them from scratch. Usually, she bought semi-finished patties from the supermarket, which she then fried at home.

This was her first time eating pumpkin patties that were made from scratch. They didn't look that good, but they sure tasted delicious.

With a hearty appetite, Lisa had three pumpkin patties and two bowls of pork and preserved egg congee.

After breakfast, the couple went downstairs together to go to work...

"Doll."

"Yeah?"

"There's a charity auction tonight to raise funds for the Lisa Foundation. It starts at 7 PM, so come straight to JC after you get off work. The ballgown I picked out for you is at my office. We'll attend it together," Jungkook said.

"Okay."

Lisa was interested in everything that was related to the Lisa Foundation.

While they were at Seoraksan Mountain, she and Jungkook experienced the lives of those living in poverty-stricken villages. The children there were all jaundiced and seemed to be malnourished. Some of them could only afford pickled radish for lunch. What Lisa saw made her incredibly sad. To her, the charity wasn't for the sake of 'big love for the world'. Rather, she just wanted to help out as many people as she could within her ability.

At least... seeing those children live better lives because of something she did would make her feel much better.

As the saying goes, a bit of fragrance will linger on the hand that gave out roses.

After driving to South Side, Lisa began her day's work.

"Head Nurse, the new patient admitted to room 7 last night won't cooperate with our treatment."

"What was he admitted for?" Lisa asked as she looked at the patient's chart on her computer.

"Mania."

"Are you kidding me? Aren't mania patients supposed to be admitted into psych? Why was he sent to the Ortho Department?" Lisa looked at the nurse in surprise.

"Psych's rooms were all full, and since we had a lot of empty beds, they..."

"What nonsense. Let's go, I want to check him out."

Then, Lisa and the nurse went to room 7. As soon as she opened the door to the patient's room, a pillow came flying at her, almost hitting her in the face. The good thing was that Lisa had fast reflexes and avoided the pillow.
