Although he got drunk last night, Lisa's stubborn biological clock forced him to wake before 8:00 a.m. Rubbing his throbbing temples, Lisa slowly staggered downstairs.

"You're awake?" Jennie stood up from the living room sofa when she saw him come down.

"Good morning." Seeing Jennie, Lisa walked down the stairs faster.

Jennie, who originally wanted to immediately reprimand the man, saw his suffering and didn't have the heart to do it. Instead, she simply sighed and passed him a glass of water. "Is it painful?"

Lisa took a sip of water and nodded pitifully.

"You deserve it!" Jennie scolded.

"Are you angry?" Lisa carefully looked at his wife's face.

"Didn't I tell you to drink less yesterday?" Jennie huffed.

"I was wrong." A terrified Lisa readily admitted to his mistakes.

"If you drink so much again in the future, I won't take care of you again." Jennie told him.

"If I drink again, you can just throw me to some corner." Lisa replied.

"If I catch you getting this drunk again, I'll go back and live with my parents." Jennie threatened.

"No, I promise I'm never drinking again." Lisa immediately grabbed Jennie's hand, his expression turning nervous.

Sure enough, this kind of trick always worked. Looking at the man's nervous expression, Jennie was almost unable to hold back her laugh.

They both went to the kitchen, and Jennie served Lisa a bowl of light porridge. As Lisa began eating, he noticed something strange. He asked, "Why don't I see Mrs. Jang?"

"Mrs. Jang is on holiday." Jennie explained.

"Holiday?"

"Korean New Year is approaching." Jennie reminded.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Lisa looked down at his porridge and asked, "Then, where did this porridge come from?"

"I made it."

Lisa's spoon paused. The bland porridge immediately transformed into a sweet and delicious meal. He picked up his bowl and started eating, finishing the porridge in just a couple of bites. He looked like a homeless man who had been hungry for days. After finishing his food, Jennie stood up and served him another bowl. After doing this for two or three times, Jennie couldn't help but say, "I was afraid that you would be hungover and wouldn't have a good appetite, so I just cooked some porridge. But you seem to be in good spirits."

"The porridge is delicious." Lisa told her, satisfaction all over his face.

Because she thought Lisa would be suffering from a hangover, Jennie had planned for him to simply rest at home. But now that he seemed to be well, she changed her mind and said, "Let's go out and buy some new year's products after you're done."

"Alright, let's go and buy it together." Lisa nodded.

After breakfast, they drove to the nearest mall.

Although there weren't a lot of cars outside, the mall was still very busy. Jennie and Lisa stood in the supermarket and watched as the crowd rushed around to do their new year's shopping. They felt somewhat dazed at everyone's explosive energy.

"So many people." Jennie, someone who's never gone out to buy things for the new year, lamented as she watched an auntie elbow through the crowd with an amazing fighting spirit.

"Yeah." President Manoban, who had always been content eating instant noodles during this time, sighed. "I didn't expect things to be this lively. New Years had always been a lonely time for me before."
