Confession

3

Jungkook brought their breakfast to the kitchen and placed the food in delicate plates. After finishing his arrangements, he brought the plates to the dining table.

Jungkook then hesitated, wondering if he should go upstairs and call Lisa to come down and eat. But just then, Lisa slowly came down the stairs, wearing a beige, lace embroidered dress.

"Morning." Lisa saw Jungkook by the table and habitually smiled, nodding.

"Morning." After a moment of shock, Jungkook turned and pointed to the food on the table: "I've prepared some breakfast."

Lisa walked towards the table. She looked at the exquisite breakfast and replied: "It looks delicious."

"It's good that you like it." Jungkook handed her some chopsticks from across the table.

"Thank you." Lisa took the chopsticks and politely thanked him.

"You're welcome." Jungkook also replied politely.

Wait, there's something wrong here! Lisa sat down and thought about the situation as she began to eat. She had been married to Jungkook for five years. When Jungkook handed her a pair of chopsticks she was habitually polite as she said her thanks, and similar to the man she was married to for five years, the person in front of her replied in a polite manner.

Day after day, in those five years, their conversations were like this, and Lisa had never thought anything of it.

Just now she suddenly realized that today, on the first day of their marriage, such polite and formal language was understandable.

However, even after five years of being together, their way of speaking had stayed the same: courteous, as if speaking to a guest. How strange.

As Lisa pondered this, she eyes unconsciously fell on the man eating breakfast across her.

Jungkook had long noticed Lisa's gaze. At first, he pretended not to know and continued to eat, but after a while, Lisa's eyes still remained on him and he started to feel uncomfortable. But being a well-established businessman, Jungkook naturally wouldn't call Lisa out on it and make her uncomfortable. So as he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin he asked: "Was there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Ah?" Lisa blinked. She had been lost in thought and had unknowingly stared at Jungkook. His sudden question gave her pause, but then Lisa smiled, and replied in a natural manner: "This morning, I looked out the balcony and saw a dog out on the yard."

"You saw." Jungkook was stunned.

"Nn." Lisa nodded.
　　
"That's Eunwoo's dog. He went out on a business trip, so he asked me to take care of his dog for a few days. He'll come by later this afternoon and take him away."Jungkook explained, his expression unchanging as he lied.

"Eunwoo?" Lisa was puzzled, but she had never been familiar with Eunwoo, so she didn't know if he ever had a dog.

"Yes." Jungkook nodded.

"Oh..." Lisa no longer thought about it and smiled, "He's pretty cute."

"Cute?" Jungkook paused, surprise visible in his eyes. "Don't you dislike dogs?"

"How do you know I dislike dogs?" Lisa paused in the middle of sipping porridge and looked at him strangely.

"Well..." Jungkook tried to act normal as he explained: "I heard that you were bitten by a dog before, so I just figured that you would be afraid of dogs."

"So you know about that." Lisa smiled, then said: "I was very small at the time, I think around five years old when I got bit."

Jungkook had wanted to say that he knew. He knew that she had been wearing a furry rabbit coat and her hair had been braided into looking like two sheep horns.
