"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."

Jungkook had woken up early in the morning to come there. As he still had a slight fever, he never slept well, and so listening to Lisa's chatter, he unwittingly nodded off.
That nap, he fell into a particularly deep sleep. When he woke up again, sky outside his window was already dark. As the lights were off in his room, it was pitch-black.
Jungkook felt around for the remote control. He turned on all the lights in the villa. Seeing that he was the only one in the room, he instinctively raised his arm to rub the bandage on his back. With this, he confirmed that Lisa had really been here this afternoon. He then flew off the bed and left the room.
The villa was very quiet. Apart from his footsteps, no other sounds could be heard. The floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor wasn't shut, and so the cold night air blew the curtains, fluttering them endlessly.
Jungkook went around the whole villa but couldn't see Lisa at all. A hint of disappointment couldn't help but appear in his heart. She had already left... Jungkook stood in the large empty living room on his own for a long while before pursing his lips and striding up the stairs. He circled the bedroom once more before finally taking a few pills from the cabinet by the bedhead.
Jungkook's line of sight instantly paused. He quietly stared for a long time, and then pulled out a cigarette from the side-drawer, sitting down. He lit it up but didn't take a hit, as he heard a faint sound coming from downstairs.
He furrowed his brows and listened carefully. There was in fact a faint sound of footsteps. Thereupon, he put out the cigarette in his hand in the ash tray, then quickly got up and left the room. Just as he reached the stairs, he saw Lisa panting, carrying a large bag into the dining room.
Jungkook strode over, casually going down the stairs towards the dining room.
The dining room's door was open, and he saw her taking one dish out after the other from her bag of takeaway and place them neatly on the dining table.
Jungkook didn't say a word to disturb her, leaning on the dining room door as he quietly watched.
Lisa nicely packed everything away, looked at the table of food, and clapped her hands in satisfaction. She turned around then, ready to call Jungkook for dinner. When she saw him posed leisurely at the door, she jumped in shock, but then smiled at him. "You're up? Then go wash your hands for dinner."
Jungkook didn't move but stared into Lisa's eyes for a while, then asked, "You went out just now to get take out?"
Lisa nodded, then said with a hint of an anger in her voice, "You live too far. They wouldn't deliver here, and so I had to drive over there myself to get it."
So she didn't leave after all... Jungkook's heart relaxed a little. He slowly stood upright, turned towards the first floor, and went to the communal bathroom to wash his hands. When he came back, Lisa already sat obediently at the dining table, waiting for him.
