"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."

When Jungkook came out of the room, Jennie blinked, coming back to her senses. She put down her hands and looked at Lisa, who was in Jungkook's arms. "How is she?"
Jennie reached out, wanting to hold Lisa's hand.
Jungkook tightened his arms around Lisa, stumbling backwards instinctively as though she was a precious gem that required protection. Without bothering to look at Jennie, he left the room.
When the assistant stood up, he grabbed Jennie, who stared at his hand, before rushing behind Jungkook.
When they reached the elevator, the door had just opened, Jungkook entered hugging onto Lisa, ignoring the both of them.
His assistant pulled the dazed Jennie into the elevator before pressing the button for the ground floor.
As soon as the elevator reached the ground floor, Jungkook exited with Lisa while his assistant followed behind, rushing to help him open the car door.
After Jungkook was settled in the car with Lisa in his arms, his assistant shut the door and opened the passenger seat. He rushed Jennie into the car before hurriedly entering the driver seat and speeding off to the nearest hospital.
The assistant sped all the way as silence engulfed the car. No one said a word, and Jennie was still out of sorts, her mind in a frenzy. She stared at the road ahead in a daze for a long while before turning her eyes towards the rear mirror.
Through the mirror, she could see that Jungkook still had the same protective stance, his hands tight around Lisa while her head rested weakly on his chest. Lisa's face was a deep shade of red.
Jungkook seemed to be worried that her head would be uncomfortable in that position for he adjusted her, even arranging her disheveled hair one strand at a time. He was treating Lisa with utmost care, a gentleness that Jennie had never seen him show before, completely different from the monster that had inflicted pain on Producer Sun. He was even emitting tenderness that was at odds with his usual frosty demeanor.
Jennie felt her throat choke up and her eyes start to hurt, tears welling slightly. She wanted to avert her gaze, but no matter how hard she tried, her eyes were fixed on them.
When the car arrived at a hospital emergency department, Jungkook left wordlessly, carrying Lisa. He didn't bother informing his assistant or Jennie, opening the door and walking towards the hospital doors.
His assistant parked the car and the both of them entered the hospital. By then, Jungkook had already carried Lisa to the second floor.
Jungkook kept Lisa in his arms as the doctors conducted checks, collected blood samples, took her temperature, and even when the doctors were inserting the IV drip, she was still in his arms. He didn't seem to want to let her go and after the IV drip was inserted, he looked up and instructed his assistant, "Get a set of clean clothes."
