"Don't touch me when we're out in public."
"Don't openly say that I am your wife." "Don't let people know that you and I live together."
Jeon Jungkook and Lalisa Manoban were forced to marry as a result of their parents' arrangements. Lalisa though...

The rain in Seoul was often short-lived, coming suddenly and ending quickly. No more than half an hour later, the big storm had calmed to a small drizzle. In the end, the dark clouds faded and a faint ray of light could even be seen.
That was when Lisa came back to her senses, realizing that both of them had been standing in front of the window for such a long time.
She turned and saw that Jungkook was still lost in his thoughts, staring out at the window. Remembering that she was called up by him, she asked, "Is there anything you need me for?"
Only after Lisa spoke did Jungkook remember that he had called for her. He had wanted to clarify that there was nothing going on between him and Jennie, but since they weren't lovers or a real married couple, it didn't make sense for him to do so.
He remained silent for a long time, trying to figure out how to go about explaining. In the end, he just randomly asked, "What about you? Don't you have anything to ask me?"
He was the one who had called her up, and now he was asking her what she wanted to ask him... Lisa was struck dumb by his question. Shaking her head, she looked at him questioningly, "What should I ask?"
Jungkook thought that Lisa didn't understand his meaning, hence he hinted, "This afternoon when we were eating lunch with Jennie, you didn't have anything to ask me?"
The mention of Jennie dampened Lisa's spirits that had been slightly lifted when Jungkook ate and watched the rain with her. Moodily, she stared out of the window in silence.
Jungkook stood beside her with surprising patience. He continued to wait, giving time for Lisa to speak first. But after a long time, she still remained silent, and disappointment engulfed him.
What was he expecting when he had asked her that? Expecting her to mind what Jennie had said about him getting together with her?
Regardless of which woman was with him or had something going on with him, she had always been indifferent. Why should she start minding now?
Self-depreciation floated into his eyes. He couldn't help laughing at himself mockingly, as though he was really defeated by her. Helplessly, he said, "Me and Jennie..."
The moment Lisa heard her sister's name, she couldn't help feeling a deep sense of fear surrounding her. At that moment, she was terrified that Jungkook would say that they had gotten together. Unconsciously, she clenched her hands into fists, her lips tightening. She interrupted him with, "My sister is a good choice, she's pretty, has a good background, there's nothing bad about her... "
Before she could finish her sentence though, Jungkook rudely commanded, "Go and take a bath."
Lisa stopped in her tracks, stunned by the random command "Go and take a bath". She turned and was about to "Huh?" in response but was stopped by Jungkook's expression. At some point, his expression had grown distant, his gaze cold. Even the surrounding air seemed to have gone cold.
