"Unnie... It's all my fault... I wanted seafood, and Haruto said that restaurant was cheap... and the crabs there were fresh, but we never thought that we would bump into Hyunjae and his friends."
"Hyunjae...?" Lisa frowned.
"Yeah, I think Hyunjae and his friends were just passing by. When they saw us outside the restaurant picking out seafood, they came out of their cars to make fun of us... Hyunjae started harassing me, I think he was drunk... Anyway, Haruto was mad and got into a fight with them. They left after giving him a beating. They were driving a black Ferrari, and the license plate is..."
"I got it," Lisa interrupted her and then got up.
"Take good care of him. Once he comes out of the emergency room, tell him to go back to his dorm."
"What about you?" Wonyoung felt restless.
"I'm fine, I just need some fresh air."
Bambam and Chaeyoung immediately went up to Lisa when they saw her coming out of the waiting room.
"Is your brother okay?"
"Yeah, he sustained minor external wounds. You guys should go home, it's late."
"Where's Jungkook?" Bambam asked.
"His mom is at the hospital too. He's upstairs, and we're going home after he comes down."
"Okay then, let's meet up another day." Seeing that everything was okay, Bambam and Chaeyoung left as well.
Lisa watched them leave...
Then, she quickly went downstairs and hauled a cab...
"Where to?"
"Drive around the nightclub area, I'm looking for a Ferrari."
Wonyoung didn't have to tell Lisa about Hyunjae's license plate number for her to know what it was. She had seen Hyunjae drive it a couple of times before...
– VIP room of the Asan medical center –
"I thought you weren't coming?" Mrs. Jeon was happy to see her son, but she still feigned anger at him.
"Are you okay?"
"I wish I was dead, then no one would be in your way," Mrs. Jeon said with a bitch face.
"You should go rest up with my dad in the States..."
"I'm not going, I won't go. Don't think about chasing us out of the country and then living your life with that little vixen... kook, she's ripping you off, one day she's going to take our family for all we're worth. I went to a Korean fortune teller, and he said that you guys aren't meant to be together. You're not compatible and will face many obstacles in your way... kook, you need to come to your senses."
"You must be tired, goodnight." Jungkook looked at his mother hopelessly.
His mother was still the same, and he was too lazy to fight with her about the same thing, over and over again...
"Young Master, are you leaving?"
"Take good care of her." Jungkook turned around to leave after saying this.
After he went downstairs, he couldn't find "Lisa anywhere...
He only saw Haruto sitting there, with a bandage around his head... Wonyoung was sitting beside him.
"Where's Lisa?"
"Noona? I have no idea, Wonyoung said that she went to say goodbye to Bambam and Chaeyoung." Haruto had no idea what was happening.
Jungkook immediately took out his phone to call Bambam's number...
"We left already. Lisa? After she sent us off, she said that she's going home with you."
After hanging up, Jungkook then called Lisa...
"I'm sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off."
"Damn it..." Jungkook became worried; he knew that something was bound to happen.
"Kook, what's wrong? Where's noona?" Haruto asked.
"She... she might have gone to avenge you." Jungkook immediately ran down the stairs after finishing his sentence...
"What? Avenge?" Haruto and Wonyoung were flabbergasted.
Lisa had been fed up with Hyunjae for a long time now...
She didn't want to pay too much attention to him; after all, she wasn't about to stoop down to his level...
She had just shown her support for his ascendance to the corporate vice-presidency.
But then, he proceeded to harass Haruto...
Lisa loved Haruto and would never let anyone hurt him...
– Outside Universe Nightclub –
"Sir, could you stop here?"
Lisa saw Hyunjae's flashy Ferrari parked outside...
She elegantly got off the car, took out a hair elastic from her pocket, and tied up her hair.
Then, she slowly walked into the club...
The Universe Nightclub was the second biggest nightclub in the city, after Seductive Fox. However, unlike the latter, Universe was really badly managed.
A lot of people got drunk and wreaked havoc here, and police officers often frequented this morally-grey establishment.
Lisa didn't want Jungkook to come with her, because there were a lot of people here, and therefore, more eyes and ears.
If someone saw him, it might harm his reputation.
However, she was different. Mr. Oh had just acknowledged her status as a part of the Oh Family, so technically, any dispute she had with Hyunjae would be considered a 'family matter'.
Ever since the incident with Taecyeon at Seductive Fox, she was no longer impulsive.
Although right at this moment, she was furious enough to rip that scumbag Hyunjae into a million pieces, she still decided to go with her plan...
"Miss, please stop." On the top floor, a waiter stopped her.
"I'm Hyunjae's older sister, I'm looking for him."
"Oh, you're here to see Young Master Oh. He's in Room E10." The waiter saw that Lisa was alone, so he let down his guard...
Lisa nodded her head with a smile on her face and walked towards Room E10.
When she arrived outside, she didn't go in, but rather glanced at her surroundings.
There was a vent not far away from where she was, and a rooftop balcony above her.
Lisa walked up to the dark corridor and used a lighter to look around...
She knew Hyunjae well and believed that as long as she waited here, she would be able to see him.
Sure enough, three minutes later
A drunk Hyunjae stumbled out the room with a girl, and the two of them made out in the hall.
Then, they walked up to the darker end of the corridor, neither of them noticing Lisa's presence.
Just as Hyunjae was about to reach out to grab the girl's breasts, Lisa suddenly said, "Hyunjae... you should really grow up... or else Sehun is going to kill you sooner than later."
'Who is it?" Hyunjae turned his head around drunkenly.
The girl was terrified. "Who's there?"
"Oh, it's you," upon recognizing Lisa, Hyunjae spoke with disdain.
He obviously wasn't drunk to the point of obliviousness...
"Do you have the guts to come up and talk to me? Of course, if you're too much of a chicken, you can ask your hot girlfriend to ask her friends to cheer you on."
Lisa knew Hyunjae's temper, so she decided to goad him...
"You? Why would I be afraid of you? Are you kidding me? I can beat up ten people at once, let alone you."
Hyunjae then stumbled up to Lisa...
"Young Master Oh..." the girl pouted in objection.
"Go back, don't tell anyone," he said for the sake of his own pride.
That woman glanced at Lisa but didn't recognize her. She thought that Lisa was an ex-girlfriend of Hyunjae's who was here to cause trouble.
She sadly turned around to leave...
Lisa smiled and turned around to cross the corridor, walking up to the rooftop of Universe Nightclub.
Universe Nightclub had ten floors...
This was the tenth floor...
It wasn't too high, but it was still terrifying to peer down the rooftop in the middle of the night...
Hyunjae staggered behind Lisa, all the way up to the rooftop.
The cold breeze helped him sober up a little...
"What? Are you here to seek revenge for your little brother?" Hyunjae asked provokingly.
Lisa's back was towards him, and she only answered, "Yes."
"Hahaha... why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror... Do you think you can really do anything to me? Don't think that being accepted into the Oh Family makes you all high and mighty... Let me tell you, my dad told me that you're just a dog to us... a dog, do you understand?"
Lsia didn't say anything; she had his back towards him, so he couldn't see her expression.
"Oh, and your brother, that good-for-nothing. Isn't he a little too young and poor to be whoring around? The money you gave him isn't even enough to cover my daily expenses, and that car of his, you call that a sports car? Are you kidding me... Hahaha, but the girl he's with isn't too bad, she looks like an innocent little thing... I wonder if he already popped her cherry, I'm going to have some fun with her first, and help your idiot brother try her..." Hyunjae didn't even finish his sentence before he felt a striking pain in his stomach...
Lisa was too fast; he couldn't even tell when she turned around or when she came up to him.
Hyunjae kneeled on the ground, one hand covering his stomach while the other pointed at her as he spat, "You stupid woman... How dare you punch me? I'm going to tear you apart today."
Hyunjae used to learn Taekwondo, and although he wasn't an expert, he still had some moves...
Even if he were drunk, a woman like Lisa was not a match for him.
Of course, Lisa came prepared...
Before Hyunjae stood all the way up, Lisa pulled out a needle.
It was an anesthetic, and she injected it right into Hyunjae's neck.
His movements immediately slowed down... and he could no longer control his own body...
"What... did you do to me?" Hyunjae said with great difficulty.
Lisa didn't speak. She walked up to him and slapped him right across the face...
"I am a fair person... I will beat you the way you beat up my brother."
Then, Lisa took out a little Handkerchief that she had prepared in advance and stuffed it in Hyunjae's mouth.
After she finished her sentence, Lisa began throwing countless punches at Hyunjae's face.
Lisa may not be that strong, but she used all her might...
Soon, Hyunjae's entire face became swollen...
There was a huge handkerchief in his mouth, so he couldn't make a sound...
Or else he would've called for help a long time ago.
Lisa beat Hyunjae up until his vision blurred and he began seeing stars...
Lisa was tired as well... then, she jerked Hyunjae's tie and pulled him over to the edge of the balcony...
She pulled out the handkerchief from his mouth...
"Lisa, you mother fuck –" Hyunjae didn't even finish cursing.
He couldn't, because Lisa suddenly pushed his head down with a great force, right towards the balcony...
He was in a really dangerous position...
One light push from Lisa, and he would fall off the building...
10th floors wasn't high, but he would still end up as a dead puddle of blood...
Hyunjae was so scared that his soul seemed to have floated out of his body...
"AH... HELP... HELP!"
"Shut up, or else I'll push you over."
"This is murder, you know that?" Hyunjae was out of his mind.
"No, this is called 'murder out of passion', and JC's legal team will defend me... You, on the other hand, if you die... your mother would cry her heart out, your sister would lose her precious little brother, and your dad would lose his favorite son and his hair will turn white overnight... Without you, Sehun will control the corporation, haha... It's a perfect scenario."
"Lisa, you're f*cking crazy... I'm your brother too." Hyunjae tried to play the family card, but... it didn't work on Lisa.
"No, I don't have a brother who's as noble as you are. The world has revolved around you ever since you were born, causing you to throw money away like it doesn't matter and act like the king of the world... Growing up, you treated everyone like dirt. Haruto is my brother... he didn't do anything to you, but you had the audacity to beat him up on the streets... Tell me... what am I, his loving sister, supposed to do to not be so pissed off?"
Then, Lisa pushed Hyunjae's head down even further, causing his entire body to slowly arch forward...
"Ah... no, I don't want to die. Lisa, please, please don't kill me."
No matter how hot his temper was, it had all disappeared into the thin air...
Hyunjae was scared shitless...
He had gotten used to making fun of Lisa and always thought that Lisa and Haruto were easy to bully. Therefore, he always went toe-to-toe with them whenever they saw each other.
The truth was, most of the time Lisa just ignored him because, to her, he was no more than an idiot...
However, beating up Haruto was something that completely lit up her fury...
Therefore, today, she came alone and grabbed Hyunjae by his tie, showing him a '4D balcony nightmare experience'.
Everything else that seemed to matter was all long forgotten...
Hyunjae always thought that Lisa wasn't a scary woman...
But the fact was when she was pissed off, she was basically a cold-blooded lunatic...
"Lisa, please... I will never bully Haruto again... please don't kill me, I swear I won't do it again... Please give me a chance, since we both have the same father..."
Hyunjae's words were all over the place...
He had never sounded so ball-less in his entire life...
Did Lisa really want to kill him? Nope.
She just wanted to scare him and seek revenge for Haruto. Her job here was done.
"I see... so once you go downstairs, if anyone asks about your face..." Lisa purposely hesitated there.
"I'll say that I was drunk and fell over..."
"Oh, and if you see Haruto again...?"
"I'll avoid him, I promise to never pick on him again."
"Oh, that sounds pretty good."
"Lisa, I swear, I will keep my promise. If I don't, my whole family will die," Hyunjae promised.
Lisa successfully scared him half to death...
"If anyone finds out about what happened today... Don't worry, even if I die, I'm still going to kill you. A person's background, power, and money mean nothing in front of someone who is not afraid of dying."
Then, Lisa suddenly pulled him back from the edge of the balcony... and threw him hard onto the ground...
At that moment, Hyunjae felt like he had been pulled back from the edge of death...
He was so scared that his legs went numb...
Lisa took out the thin needle from his neck...
She warned him for the last time, "Don't ever touch Haruto again, he's my bottom line."
Then, she quietly turned her back at him and went downstairs...
Hyunjae sat on the ground of a good half hour before the anesthesia wore off... then, still shaking, he went downstairs.
He didn't even go back to the private room and immediately left Universe Nightclub.
When Lisa came out from the nightclub, she saw Jungkook's car parked by the side of the road.
Jungkook had just found Hyunjae's car...
He saw Lisa walking out just as he was about to go in.
He opened the door, got off the car, immediately walked up to Lisa, and took her into his embrace...
He felt like he lost her and then found her again...
"Good, I'm glad you came out."
"I'm fine, I was just really angry, so I taught Hyunjae a lesson for his life." Lisa smiled faintly.
Jungkook looked down at Lisa's red swollen fists.
He immediately felt heartbroken...
"Let's talk when we're home." He helped her onto the car...
After they got home, Jungkook first called Haruto to let him know that Lisa was okay...
Then, he took out the first-aid kit and began cleaning Lisa's wounds...
Lisa's pale hands had bruises all over...
Jungkook didn't have to guess to know that Lisa found a way to beat Hyunjae into a pulp.
However, she used so much strength when she was hitting him... so the injuries on her hands looked horrific.
"How hard did you hit him... why didn't you find something to hit him with instead?" Jungkook felt like his heart was breaking into pieces as he carefully tended to Lisa's wounds.
"It's only satisfying when I hit him with my own hands..." Lisa stuck out her tongue.
"You sure care about Haruto..." Jungkook was actually getting slightly jealous.
Although Jungkook's brother-in-law was just a kid, Lisa was really almost willing to give up her life for him...
Jungkook didn't ask Lisa about what happened at Universe Nightclub, all he cared about was that Lisa was home safe.
Or else, he would've murdered everyone there or done something else crazy...
Jungkook carefully wrapped bandages around Lisa's fists...
Then, he carried her upstairs...
"I can't use my hands today, maybe I shouldn't take a shower," Lisa said when she saw that Jungkook was carrying her towards the bathroom.
"I'll help you."
These three simple words were like a stick of dynamite...
They've been married for a while now, and have seen each other naked, but... was it okay for her husband to help her shower?
(A/n: I mean you both had a shower sex some while ago so this shouldn't be that Awkward for you, Lisa👀)
As Lisa's mind ran wild, Jungkook began taking off her clothes...
Lisa held up her bandaged hands to shyly cover her face...
Jungkook smiled. After he took all her clothes off, he carefully placed her into a bathtub full of warm water.
He picked up a bath lily, squeezed some body wash onto it, and began slowly washing her body...
He wasn't doing it out of lust and desire; he was no more than a husband who was lovingly tending to his wife.
Jungkook patiently washed Lisa's body, like he was taking care of a child.
Small changes, however, began happening to Lisa's body...
When Jungkook's fingers glided past her skin, she felt like a million bugs were crawling somewhere deep within her.
Her face became ruddier the more she thought about it...
"Doll, what are you thinking about?" Jungkook asked calmly as he washed her pearly skin.
"Nothing," Lisa denied all insinuations.
"Then why is your face so red?"
"Maybe it's too hot... It's so stuffy in here." Lisa looked for an excuse.
"Really...? The temperature in the bathroom is 20 degrees, even I'm a little cold. Are you sure you're still hot?" Jungkook couldn't help but laugh.
"What do you know? Men and women have different body structures... your blood circulates slower than mine, so you're not as sensitive to hot or cold. Female metabolism is faster, and that's why men age faster than women..."
Lisa's expert knowledge seemed to make a lot of sense.
However, Jungkook couldn't help but burst into laughter...
"What are you laughing about?" Confused, Lisa looked at Jungkook.
"Doll... did you forget that I used to study medicine too? I can't believe you would try to dupe me with medical knowledge..."
"Um..." Only then did Lisa remember this fact; why did she do that?
Jungkook was an MD who graduated from the most renowned medical school in the world... of course he knew about this stuff.
"People say that a husband who doesn't save his wife's face isn't a good husband."
"So?" Jungkook continued to ask.
"So... if you want to be a good husband, then some things are better left unsaid. Just play dumb."
"Okay, you win... you're so thick-skinned..."
Lisa laughed hysterically and raised her hand to hit Jungkook's head...
However, as soon as she raised it, she immediately yelped in pain...
"Ah... it hurts."
"I told you not to move."
"Kook... do you need to work later?"
"No..."
"Then can we...?" Lisa looked down shyly before she finished.
She couldn't, she really couldn't get the rest of that sentence out of her mouth...
"Can we what?"
"Oh... nothing... I was wondering if we could watch TV for a bit before we go to bed."
"No, we can't. You're injured and need to get some rest," Jungkook immediately refused.
"Okay then."
– 40 minutes later –
Jungkook carried Lisa out from the bathtub and wrapped a giant towel around her body.
Then, he picked out a white silk sleep dress from the closet and carefully put it on Lisa.
Then, Jungkook went back in to shower. When he came out, he climbed up the bed and snuggled up to Lisa.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Jungkook noticed Lisa's uneven breathing.
"Um... it's too stuffy in here." Lisa kept thinking about that stuff and was obviously in no mood to sleep.
Shouldn't... he supposed to bring up the topic of... sex?
But her husband was so calm and collected tonight...
Lisa struggled... how was she supposed to tell him?
Would she seem too upfront if she just told that she wanted to do it with him?
"Doll... do you want to do it?" Jungkook noticed her struggle and asked.
"Ahem... no."
"I'm giving you one last chance, if you don't tell me the truth, then I'm going to sleep..." Jungkook teased her on purpose.
Upon seeing how serious Jungkook was, Lisa thought about it for a few seconds.
Then, she bit down on her lips and said, "Kook, I was lying just now... I do."
"Let's go to bed, doll, it's late..."
"Screw you, Jungkook..." Lisa was furious that he brushed her off like that.
Jungkook couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he turned around and pressed Lisa's body under his own...
"Originally, because you're injured, I won't make you do anything... but doll, remember that you took the initiative this time."
Then, before Lisa could say anything else, his overwhelming kisses landed, first on her lips, then her jaw and then all the way to her neck...
Jungkook was sometimes gentle and sometimes rough...
At this moment, Lisa put all thoughts behind her... and thoroughly enjoyed the love between her and Jungkook.
– The next morning –
Lisa crawled lazily out of bed... and Jungkook had already left.
She received a WeChat message from him, "Doll, I left for JC. Today's Saturday, so get some rest."
Jungkook had been extremely busy with JC's thirty-year anniversary.
Lisa's hands were injured, and she wasn't much help at the hospital. Plus, it was the weekend, so she had time to rest.
However, she had a lot to do today, because it was an important day.
Jennie's engagement party was today...
At this thought, Lisa immediately got up, not wanting to waste another second...
After she washed up, she picked out a pair of light blue overalls from her closet...
Paired with white sneakers and a white long-sleeved shirt, the outfit made her look young.
However, she knew that although it was a simple outfit, it must've cost a lot for Jungkook to have put it in her closet.
Lisa wasn't a big fan of luxury goods, so she was okay with wearing anything.
It was Jennie's engagement party, so it was probably going to be a large-scale event. However, she couldn't steal the spotlight.
The more low-key, the better...
After she got dressed, Lisa tied her hair up in a bun and went downstairs with a white Dior handbag.
"Young Madam, it's time for breakfast."
"No thanks, I'm going to a friend's engagement party." Lisa was in a good mood.
"But Young Master said... that you have to at least have a little bit, or else your stomach will hurt."
Uncle Li didn't know what to do...
It seemed like Jungkook told Uncle Li to remind her; Lisa thought about it, and then took a piece of toast from the dining table and gobbled it down in three bites.
Then, she drank half a glass of milk...
"That's good enough, right? Thanks, Uncle Li." Lisa waved goodbye as she left South Hill Manor.
– Ritz Carlton Hotel –
Although Jennie and Bambam's cousin weren't crazy rich, they were still influential people.
Bambam's cousin was in the environmental protection sector, so he had a lot of friends in the political circle. Plus, he was of course Bambam's cousin, so a lot of officials from the police Bureau came as well.
Jennie's parents were both well-respected professors of Seoul university.
Since there were so many people, it took Lisa a while to find a parking spot outside the hotel.
Then, she got off the car and walked in...
Jennie was wearing a white strapless dress. Her hair was up in a bun, and her makeup was delicately applied.
She was pretty, but sadly, she wasn't smiling...
However, she did flash her signature gummy smile at Lisa when she saw her.
She walked up to Lisa and grabbed her by the arm.
"Why did you come so late?"
"I overslept..."
"I bet you did all sorts of stuff last night..."
"You and your dirty thoughts..." Lisa was at a loss for words.
"I can tell that Jungkook's stamina is pretty good... you guys should have a baby soon, so I can be its godmother."
"Um... can't you be a little more creative?" Lisa looked at her disdainfully.
"Then we should be in-laws..."
"Fine, you win."
Jennie brightened up at the sight of Lisa...
She dragged Lisa to her parents and formally introduced her to them.
She seemed to value her friendship with Lisa...
Some have said that Jennie was only friends with Lisa because she was the Young Madam of JC.
However, only Lisa knew the truth.
Jennie was a women with high standards. She was flashy, and high and one mighty woman... Her personality was much stronger than Lisa's.
She wasn't lacking any rich friends, and she chose to be friends with Lisa mainly because she liked her.
Especially when she was treating Soobin, Lisa's odd approach really impressed her.
As they were busy chatting, Lisa suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the door...
"Jennie... look who's here," Lisa said in a low voice.
Jennie looked over, and she immediately saw Taehyung. He was dressed very formally, wearing a white suit.
Behind him was Jimin, in a dark blue jacket.
