Chapter 65

Recently, Lisa and Jungkook were thinking about redecorating. Lisa had bought and stayed in this home when she was still single, so it still had the vague traces of bachelorhood. After Lily was born, Jungkook was worried that they wouldn't have enough space, so he put in a down payment for another bigger unit in the same building.

(T/N: They don't live in the typical houses you see in western suburbs. Their home can be considered a really big apartment? Something like that.)

Now it seemed that his actions were the right decision. The rooms in their home could no longer contain the active Lily, who had just started kindergarten. Moreover, she had mentioned several times to her parents that she wanted a little sister.

The couple had no plans on having a second child at the moment, so they decided to raise a pet instead to distract their daughter.

But whether it was a second child or a pet, there was definitely not enough room in their home right now.

After Lisa and Jungkook consulted with each other, they decided to move into the new unit. However, moving wasn't a simple matter. When Jungkook bought the bigger unit, the couple had no thoughts on renovating the place and just left it empty. It was only now when they decided to move that they realized just how many things needed to be done. Even the very first step-drawing the designs-gave Lisa a lot of trouble.

Their new home was much bigger than their current living space, so there were many things to plan. For one, the balcony connected to the living room was almost 20 square meters. It was more a sunroom than it was a balcony.

Lisa wanted to make the area into a small garden with a swing and a few chairs. Her family could read or play with their pets while basking in the sunlight.

Of course, a room needed to be transformed into Lisa's workshop too. Like her current workshop in her store, it needed a large table for candle-making and for her tools.

After talking with the designer back and forth, modifying the design plans several times, and agonizing about the smallest placements, Lisa was finally satisfied. When Jungkook came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Lisa waved him over and showed him her tablet. "The sketches have been modified again. Come and have a look."

He casually rubbed his hair and neck with a towel, then sat down beside her with a grin. "As long as you like it, I don't care what it looks like."

"Still, you'd better take a look. If you end up not liking it after everything's installed, you can only pry the bricks off yourself."

Jungkook chuckled. "There's no need to be so serious about this."

"Of course we need to be serious." Lisa looked towards him. "Do you know how many couples end up divorcing because of home renovations?"

Jungkook: "..."

"It might be hard to believe, but our current designer had clients like that before. She previously worked for a couple who were about to get married. But one liked a rustic sort of style, while the other preferred modern minimalist styles. In the end, they got into a huge argument and broke up."

"...." 

Jungkook was quiet for a while, then said: "I think we should change designers. Too unlucky."

Lisa couldn't help but laugh. "That's why I'm asking you to look over the design plans. Not only the sketches, but also the materials and the furniture. Who knows? Maybe all it takes is an off-colored sofa or a strange door handle and we'll end up in divorce."

Jungkook: "...."

He solemnly took the tablet in Lisa's hand and went over the pictures the designer had drawn. Finally, he put forward some suggestions for modifying the TV wall. "I don't think we should have the hanging cabinets. It'll be difficult to clean if it ends up getting dirty."
