17 - Wait For Me

"......"

Lisa had never thought about it before. He was silent the whole time and treated her like nothing. However, he decided to lower his dignity by asking her, just to invite business to his own bar.

She kept quiet for three seconds until she couldn't resist asking, "Is your bar facing financial difficulties?"

"The bar isn't earning much. So, I have to make some effort to promote it." Jungkook lazily said, "Are you coming or not? I'll be generous and give you a housemate discount if you come."

Lisa was tempted to go, "How much is the discount?"

It will be great if there are discounts.

I can save some money while showing consideration to his business.

It's a win-win situation.

Jungkook tilted his head and thought, "It will be 1%."

"......" Lisa couldn't believe her own ears, "How much?"

Jungkook didn't look like he knew anything was wrong with what he said, and he patiently repeated, "1%."

"......"

No wonder you don't have any business.

You just wait for your bar to go out of business then.

After staring at him for a while, Lisa said, "You're quite generous."

She didn't directly reject, "I'll think about it."

"Okay, let me know in advance if you're coming," Jungkook continued scrolling through his phone, "I'll open a table for you."

"Okay." Lisa kindly reminded him after thinking that he had helped her a lot, "Although it is important to promote the bar, you also have to reconsider the design of the bar."

Jungkook looked up, "What do you mean?"

Your sign board is hardly noticeable. It doesn't look like a bar." Lisa paused as she was doubtful if it would upset him, "It looks like a barbershop instead."

"......"

"When I first came to this bar, I searched for 'OverTime' for a long time before I found it." Lisa honestly said, "The bar doesn't spark the urge for people to go in."

There was utter silence in the living room.

Lisa wasn't sure if this advice was mentioned to him before, and she felt that she didn't have the qualifications to comment on his bar. She finished the rest of the coffee and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, "But I was just giving some opinions."

"Since it's so difficult to find," Instead, Jungkook did not seem to care much about her words and repeated, "And there's no spark of urge for people to go in..."

He paused at the perfect timing playfully, "So, why did you come to my bar for the first time?"

"......"

Lisa gasped and couldn't quite answer.

Even if it wasn't her initiative, the purpose was indeed impure.

Jungkook was surprisingly thoughtful to not continue questioning her. He looked away and casually said, "I'll consider your suggestion."

Lisa breathed a sigh of relief, "Then..."

"But." Jungkook's tone was snobbish, "I don't intend to change it."

"......"

Lisa had a feeling that she was wasting her time talking to him. She finished her cookies before putting on her coat and went out. It was almost time for lunch when she arrived at the company.
