Chapter 15

Jungkook bought congee for Lisa.

Jungkook sat on the bed next to Lisa. He read a newspaper and she ate congee.

Lisa glanced at the front page of the newspaper Jungkook read and she fumed. 'Who wrote this article? I'm a girl! Why did they write that I'm a boy?'

Lisa coughed and her hoarse voice sounded huskier than her usual voice.

Jungkook put his hand on Lisa's forehead, her fever returned. He turned the page and he folded the newspaper in half to hide the front page. 'If you keep talking then many people will think you're a boy.'

'It's your fault!' Lisa said.

Lisa fisted her left hand and she aimed it at Jungkook's face.

Jungkook caught Lisa's left hand when it was two inches from his face, and he gently put her left hand down. 'Patients shouldn't jump around. Take your medicine and rest.'

Jungkook came across many patients with fevers over forty degree Celsius. But Lisa was his first patient who had a forty degree Celsius fever yet she had enough energy to jump around.

Lisa ate the congee and she felt better except her voice sounded hoarse. 'I don't need to take medicine and rest. I feel better. I want to go find this newspaper's headquarters to even the score with the writer and editor.'

Jungkook smiled. 'You feel better? Then let's go shopping for your engagement ring. What diamond cut do you want?'

Lisa pretended to cough and she pulled the bed sheet over her body up to her neck. 'Ah! I have a headache and my bones ache.'

On the inside Lisa cursed Jungkook - 'You took advantage of me in the morning when I'm hungry and dizzy to trick me into promising to marry you!'

'If your head and bones ache then rest,' Jungkook said.

Jungkook slid his hand inside Lisa's shirt and he took out a thermometer under her arm. He looked at the thermometer and he was relieved her body temperature reduced a bit. He put the thermometer on a bedside table then he picked up the newspaper on his lap and he continued to read articles.

Lisa laid on the bed. She silently watched Jungkook who sat next to her. He flipped through the newspaper and occasionally his arm brushed her head. She felt like she was under a bird's protective wing.

'Mr Vet,' Lisa called softly.

Jungkook put the newspaper on his lap. His hand caressed Lisa's cheek. 'Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?'

Lisa shook her head. Jungkook retrieved his hand and she felt disappointed his hand left her cheek.

'Why do you want to marry me?' Lisa asked.

Even if Lisa didn't eat pork, she knew pigs could run. She never got married before, but at least she knew two people needed to love each other deeply before they got married... but she wondered if she and Jungkook loved each other, because clearly they were enemies not lovers.

'About... between a wife and husband if they want to live together they need to be compatible and take care of each other, right?' Lisa asked softly.

'Do you know how to cook?' Jungkook asked.

Lisa shook her head.

'Do you know how to wash dishes?' Jungkook asked.

Lisa knew how to break dishes. She shook her head.

'Do you know how to clean the house?' Jungkook asked.
