Eunwoo didn't know just how Brother Don managed to tell Lisa his address, but he did understand that Lisa was worried enough to actually drive to his house. Eunwoo looked at Lisa and said "I'm really alright. You don't need to take my injuries seriously, and I really don't need any sort of compensation."

Lisa had never been close to anyone since she was a child, and she never owed anyone either. Now that she's experiencing it, Lisa couldn't help but feel worried. Not only did he get injured, but he even got complaints from his job. To her, it was more than reasonable for Eunwoo to receive some compensation for his loss. But Eunwoo had repeatedly told her that he didn't need it, so to not burden him any further, Lisa relented. "Alright. But remember to use the medicinal alcohol, and if you have any other questions make sure to ask me. You can just visit the store anytime."

"Ok, I know."

There was a moment of silence between the two, then Lisa said "Then, I'll be going."

She turned around, opened her car and got in.

Standing at the basketball court, Eunwoo watched her car slowly drive away before going back upstairs. He had the bottle of medicinal alcohol that Lisa gave him in his hand. It wasn't the bottle that Lisa had used on him back at her store; this was brand new, sealed and unused.

Looking down at the bottle, Eunwoo suddenly felt a warmth springing from the depths of his heart. It felt like a beam of sunshine melting his cold body.

Lisa was such a good, kind-hearted person. She should be treasured, not coveted by someone like him.

When he arrived back home, he closed the door, only to see Yuna rush towards him, phone at hand "Brother, Brother, I just saw Big Sister's Weibo. Her store had an accident last week and a takeaway brother helped her. Isn't that you?!"

She shoved her phone towards Eunwoo, its screen tilted his way.

"I didn't help her or anything like that..."

"Nobody else posted a reply and claimed to be the one who helped her!" When it comes to things like this, Yuna was second to none. Laughing ambiguously, she said "Brother, you got your injury by being a hero. Saving such a beauty, it's definitely worth it. So am I getting a sister-in-law soon?"

Eunwoo "...."

Eunwoo rubbed her little melon head, then walked further into the room "If you have the energy to think something like that, then you should be able to study day and night no problem."

"Why are you running away? Don't tell me you're shy?"

"I'm putting this bottle in my room, you go wash your hands and set the table." As he said this, Eunwoo's pace seemed to be speeding up.

Back in his room, he placed the medicinal alcohol on his desk and saw a paper cup.

It was the cup Lisa had used. Eunwoo picked up the cup, intending to throw it away, but saw a red lipstick stain printed on the edge of the cup.

The already cold water in the cup seemed to immediately boil up, making Eunwoo's hand feel hot.

An image of Lisa drinking water, her soft, tempting lips flashing through his mind.

He really is hopeless.

He took the cup to the kitchen, dumped the water, and then threw it in the trash.

As he placed the dishes on the table, he greeted his mother and began eating lunch with Yuna. Yuna picked up a piece of fried lettuce with her chopsticks and placed it in her mouth. As she did so, her expression immediately puckered. "Cough Cough, Brother I know you bought a lot of salt just now, but you didn't need to put so much."
