A Lifetime Of Care

Chapter 25

Jungkook usually didn’t like drinking very much, and he was also a lightweight drinker. In the past, if he drank some alcohol during the evening entertainment, he would only let Jimin, who was considered to be more trustworthy, send him home. But now, this responsibility and obligation should fall on Mrs. Jeon.

Lisa had unexpectedly lowered herself to that woman’s level. Anyway, as long as the other party saw Jungkook, she would also be terrified and not dare to do anything. Lisa sent Jieun a warning glance before turning back to Jungkook  with a smile. She brightly said, “It’s nothing. We’re just casually chatting.”

The man had came over from the entertainment hall. His iron-gray suit was different than his usual appearance, giving him a taller, more jade-like look. He walked in front of Lisa before suddenly turning to give Jieun a short glance. He told her lightly, “My wife is not used to dealing with people in the circle so don’t disturb her.”

Lisa had grown somewhat used to Director Jeon’s protectiveness toward herself, but she was still surprised by his meticulousness. When she looked up at him, she only felt that his eyes were sprinkled with tiny stars, making people feel addicted.

Jieun squeezed a little smile on her face and stiffly said, "I just think that I and...Mrs. Jeon can also be friends."

Jungkook’s forehead furrowed impatiently. He ignored her words, and taking Lisa’s hand, lead her to the car.

The driver sent them home. When they reached the entrance hall, Lisa felt for the light switch on the wall, and the living room soon became as bright as daylight. Before she could change into slippers, Jungkook, who was behind her, called out her name.

Hearing the sound, she looked back at him and saw that he was silent and frowning. Earlier, he had said that he wasn’t drunk, only a little dizzy.

“Have you gotten used to it yet?”

His unexpected question made Lisa falter, and she didn’t dare look at him for a while. Finally, as she lowered her shoes, she said, “En, very good, ah. I feel like I’m actually a married person. What are you thinking?”

Jungkook’s voice was very close. His outstanding silhouette leaned closer and his head lowered. He quietly smiled, and his voice seemed at a loss. “Do you sometimes feel that I am too busy and have too little time to come back?”

“....It’s okay.”

At first, she was a bit uncomfortable and she was unable to adapt to the role of wife. But now, their marriage life was getting more and more harmonious. Although this problem was getting increasingly more thorny, she still didn’t know how to tell him. However, she knew that this wasn’t the right time to do so.

Jungkook pulled his collar opened and walked over to the living room to lay down on the sofa. Looking at her, he said, “Homecoming almost finished post-production work. I haven’t thought about accepting a new script yet. I will have more time. When you’re off on winter vacation, we will find time to go around.”

Under the light, his face was warm, but there was also a trace of exhaustion and guilt. She had never seen him this way, so soft and sincere. Her chest became hot with warmth.

"I can understand your job. Although you often make decisions by yourself, filmmaking isn’t just your own business but others as well. You’re an amazingly great director. Movie magazines say that your work is profound and insightful but not indulgent. I always felt that you and your works are like this."

She had such consideration and such individuality. Jungkook momentarily came out of his head. He rubbed his temple, and the dizziness decreased. With eyes that were a little blurry, he looked at his little wife not far away.
