Confession

17

When Lisa entered the house, she immediately noticed Jungkook crouched over and playing with Chu Wu in the living room. Although one was a man and the other a dog, the expressions in their eyes were surprisingly similar.

"There was a bit of traffic, so I ended up being a little late." Lisa had said that she would be home in 30 minutes, but because it was rush hour, she ended up getting home 20 minutes later than expected.

"Oh." Jungkook's reply sounded casual, but his hands were firmly gripping on the collar of the excitable Chu Wu who had wanted to pounce on Lisa.

Lisa was completely clueless about the secret rivalry between man and dog. She simply walked towards the pair, patted the cute Chu Wu. In a good mood, Lisa said: "I'm going to go change clothes; you can tell Mrs. Miso to set the food out now."

"Okay." Jungkook nodded.

After Lisa went upstairs. Jungkook furrowed his brows and glowered at Chu Wu. "Why is it that the first thing she touches after coming home is you?"

"Bark!" Chu Wu barked as if to say: You think it'd still be possible for you to get petted if she hadn't pet the incredibly cute me?

"Don't go pouncing on her in the future." Jungkook ordered.

"Bark!" Chu Wu looked wronged. Just because you don't dare pounce on her, I can't either?

In the end, Jungkook 'scolded' Chu Wu again, then put him in his kennel. （Chu Wu：(￣△￣；)）

Lisa changed into her home clothes, then went straight downstairs. When Lisa arrived, she saw Jungkook putting rice in her bowl. She couldn't help but ask: "Where's Mrs. Miso?"

"Her family has something going on so I let her go home." Jungkook placed her bowl in front of her.

Back in a certain house, Mrs. Miso sneezed for no reason. She couldn't help but wonder why she sneezed every time Sir asked her to go home early.

"Thank you." Lisa then looked around and noticed that Chu Wu was gone. She asked: "Where did Chu Wu go?"

Jungkook's hands turned stiff, but he calmly replied: "It seems that he got sleepy. I put him back in his kennel."

"Sleepy?" Lisa has never had a dog before, so she didn't know if dogs could even get sleepy.

"Yes." Jungkook said.

"Oh." Lisa didn't think about it any further. She just picked up her chopsticks and concentrated on her food.

Jungkook was relieved and tried to change the subject. "How is Mrs.Manoban...cough....Mom? She's been in hospital for a while."

"She's good. She'll be getting discharged tomorrow. Can you come visit her with me?" Lisa asked with a smile.

"Ah, tomorrow morning or afternoon? I'll have to see if I have time..." Jungkook replied.

"You don't have to force yourself if you can't. I can go alone." Lisa interrupted Jungkook.

"Oh." In all honesty, Jungkook had asked Jaehyun to call the hospital every day and inquire about Mrs. Manoban's health. So Jungkook actually knew that Mrs. Manoban will be getting discharged, and even knew what time it would be. He had already asked Jaehyun to clear his schedule.

"My dad doesn't have time either." Lisa was afraid that Su Hang was feeling bad, so she hurriedly added. "He's been pretty busy recently."

"The Manoban Group just resumed operations so he probably has a lot of things to do." Jungkook nodded.
