"Oh? Look! You've got someone here to take care of him. What were you even worried about?" laughed Bam Bam.

Lisa, conversely, was excited. She'd really missed those dogs lately. Love couldn't come, but if Gureum was here, that was good too. She'd have someone to keep her company when she was bored.

When Jungkook noted Lisa's delight, he unfurrowed his brows. "We're working this afternoon. Bring Gureum directly to the set."

"Okay, I'll let them know in a bit."

A little while later, Lisa stood and said to the two of them, "I'm done eating, so I should get going."

"You're leaving? Where are you going?" asked Bam Bam.

"I'm going back to my room......"

Bam Bam looked at Jungkook in surprise. Then something seemed to dawn on him. "Ohhhh I get it," he said understandingly, "you're keeping this on the sly.... Ahem. See you later, little screenwriter."

".....see you later," said Lisa.

After Lisa left, Bam Bam quit joking around and asked seriously, "Are you two really together?"

"We're not," replied Jungkook.

"What's up with that?" said Bam Bam, "Jungkook, I've never seen a woman appear at your side so frequently, much less in such an intimate setting. I could tell at a glance that you treat her differently than others."

Jungkook smiled faintly, "Is that so?"

Bam Bam, "Of course it is! I first met her at your house. Why was that? At the time, you'd only just moved in."

Jungkook's fork froze in mid-air as he seriously considered the matter, "That was because of Gureum. It was a coincidence. But after that, it's because I hired her to cook for me. Mm...... she's a good cook."

"What?" Bam Bam stared at him in disbelief. "She must like you."

Jungkook arched his brows. His gaze softened as he looked at Bam Bam. "How do you know?"

"Pfff, are you an idiot?" Bam Bam rolled his eyes. "Just look at how much houses cost in your neighborhood. Does someone who can afford to live there lack money? You said that girl lives across from you and, moreover, is a talented screenwriter. Does someone like that have to cook for others just to earn a little extra dough? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Jungkook mulled this over for a while. He'd never enquired about things that didn't interest him.

When he'd hired Lisa to cook for him, he'd only had three reasons. The first, naturally, was that she was a good cook. Second, she liked dogs and they liked her back. Third, Lisa hadn't recognized him, so she wouldn't get starstruck and trouble him for signatures and photos.

As for whether she'd agree or not and why, he'd never even considered it.

But now that Bam Bam mentioned it, Jungkook thought he had a point. As soon as he realized that, his spirits soared.

When Bam Bam saw the smile on Jungkook's lips, he felt the world really was filled with untold wonders.

"Sigh. Nevermind that girl for now.... What do we do about Yeri?"

Jungkook looked at him in befuddlement. "What do mean, 'what do we do about her?"

"Hey, you two knew each other even before I met you. To tell the truth, I think she likes you, even if she's never said it out loud," said Bam Bam.

Jungkook's gaze was frosty as he called out a warning, "Bam Bam."

Bam Bam shut his eyes. "I'm not just saying things," he said awkwardly," your romantic awareness is really poor."
