Confession

6

It was 8:00 a.m. in the morning, and they sat on the table, eating breakfast. When they finished, Jungkook suddenly said to Lisa: "I'm going on a business trip today."

"Business trip?" Lisa was visibly surprised.

"I'm traveling to HK on business." Jungkook clarified.

"So fast. Have you already booked the tickets?" Lisa asked.

"Yes." Jungkook nodded.

Lisa couldn't remember the last time Jungkook talked to her about such trips, but she remembers being relived whenever such trips happened. After all, being with Jungkook was often an awkward affair.

But now, Lisa felt that it was a little strange. He left his new wife to go on a business trip only a day after their wedding? She can't help but doubt if Jungkook actually did like her.

However, her upbringing and modesty as a woman made it impossible for Lisa to directly ask him. It was also entirely possible that due to their hasty preparations for their wedding, Jungkook could've arranged this meeting long before they actually agreed to get married. So in the end, Lisa could only ask: "How many days will you be gone?"

"One week." Jungkook answered.

"Is everything prepared and ready?" Lisa asked again.

"I've packed." Jungkook nodded.

"...." Lisa felt like there was nothing else to say, so she dryly said: "I wish you all the best."

"Thank you." Disappointment flashed in Jungkook's eyes. Sure enough, Lisa didn't feel any reluctance from his departure, not even just a tiny sense of dissatisfaction.

The car picking up Jungkook had already been waiting for a while outside. When Jungkook walked towards the front door with his suitcase in tow, Lisa followed, wanting to walk him to the car. But Jungkook held her back, saying: "It's cold outside, so you don't need to go out."

November's weather had always been temperamental, and when Jungkook got out of bed today, he saw frost on the lawn outside.

Lisa's feet stopped at his words. She felt embarrassed. She couldn't tell if Jungkook's words meant polite rejection or considerate concern. Lisa had always been an introverted and gentle girl. She had never been the type to take the initiative, especially towards things like feelings.

What's more, their marriage was based on mutual benefit. She was afraid that becoming too eager will make Jungkook think that she was the kind of woman who wanted to nitpick on things and take control of his life. Her pride would never allow her to do so.

The reborn Lisa began to doubt the authenticity of Eunwoo's words once more. Did Jungkook actually like her?

If that really was the case....why does he always keep his distance and treat her politely, like one would a stranger?

"Ah, sir forgot his scarf." Mrs. Miso, who had been cleaning, suddenly came out with a black cashmere scarf, hurrying to the front door.

"Mrs. Miso," Lisa hesitated for a moment, but then continued: "Give me the scarf, I'll give it to him."

"Ah, the 'Wife delivering a scarf to the Husband' routine? What a good feeling, yes, yes, here you go." Mrs. Miso happily handed the scarf to Lisa then returned to her cleaning.

Lisa quickly walked out of the front door with the scarf and saw Jungkook already in the car. Lisa was afraid that the car would start to drive away, so she shouted out: "Jungkook!"

Jungkook, who was about to close the car door, turned his head to see Lisa running towards him, wearing nothing but thin clothes. He hurriedly opened the door to meet her.
