In the evening, Lisa edited "Underworld of Wolves" while video chatting with Jisoo, her best friend since childhood but living far away overseas.

"Lisa, I'm telling you, if you see any big movie stars that I like when filming starts, you gotta get me some autographs." Jisoo's voice was muffled through her instant noodles.

Lisa rolled her eyes at her. "Hey, I'm there to work, not fangirl. It'll be embarrassing if I ask for an autograph."

"Heh, you're starting to be cheeky, just like me."

"If you want an autograph, just go find my brother. I'm just a little screenwriter, okay?"

"Your brother is so busy all the time, he'll never get a chance to do something as small as this."

"Yeah, yeah, screw off."

Jisoo finally finished her noodles and let out a loud burp. Lisa glanced at her. She felt as if the smell of sauerkraut was seeping through her screen.

*TL-note: Sauerkraut is a very popular flavor of instant noodles in China.

"This is the last bowl of sauerkraut noodles I brought. Lisa, remember to mail me another crate of them." Jisoo groaned.

"... Why haven't you died from them yet."

"Oh yeah, weren't you talking about a new neighbor last time? How are they, is it a guy or girl, are they friendly, are they rich? It's super expensive to live in that building of yours." Jisoo turned up her nose, clearly as a show of contempt towards the wealthy.

Lisa's fingers paused on her keyboard. Jungkook's cold expression flitted across her mind. "Mm, it's a guy. He's really hot."

"Really hot?! How hot? Compared to your brother?" Jisoo was hyped.

Lisa laughed. "He's not the same type as my brother. Though, in my opinion, I like my neighbor's looks more. After all, I've been looking at my brother for twenty years. I've grown sick of it."

"If he heard that, he'll beat you up."

"He wouldn't be able to bring himself to do that."

"Just keep on talking trash about your brother, then." Jisoo tsk'ed as she shook her head. "But Lisa, it seems like you really like your neighbor. It's rare for such a super homebody like you to approve of someone. Hey, then what about him? Do you guys get along well? Has he given you like a welcome gift or something?"

"Get along?" Lisa's brows twitched and she muttered, "It'll be a miracle if I don't freeze to death..."

Jisoo didn't hear her and kept talking, "So not only is your neighbor really hot, he also has a load of money. Sigh, you got some real good luck right there, you little turd. Tell me as soon as possible when you guys hook up, okay?"

"I'll try."

Jisoo paused. She wasn't really being serious, so she wasn't expecting Lisa, who had always lived in the world of literature, to be. "Are you for real?"

Lisa brooded, "When I first saw him, I thought he was really handsome in a mysterious way. He's similar to the male protagonist in my novel."

Jisoo gaped in shock. "Uh, Lisa, don't tell me that it was a cliché like 'love at first sight'?"

"Love at first sight? Does this count?" Lisa thought about it. "If it does, then it is."

"..." Could you not be so casual about this?

After Lisa finished video calling with Jisoo, Lisa spent many hours on the drama script and held a video call meeting with the other two screenwriters. When she was finally done, Lisa's eyelids couldn't keep themselves open. She threw her laptop aside, slumped on her bed, and began snoring immediately.
