Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 5 - Excellent Timing

Lisa thought she would never see that man again. At least until last night she still thought that way. However, a call from the bank this morning forced Lisa to see Jungkook again.

Lisa couldn't believe what she was hearing. Then, without even needing to be explained, she knew that the man was behind all of this. The one thing Lisa doesn't understand is why that man is meddling in her affairs and messing up her life.

What exactly was going through that man's head that he would do something like this?

"This man, he seems to have lost his mind."

"Who?"

The oldest aunt in the cafeteria asked curiously to Lisa who was muttering to herself with an annoyed face while clutching her cell phone tightly.

As the young nutritionist in the cafeteria, Lisa was known as someone who was ambitious, kind, and smiling. If she had a son, she would have asked Lisa to be her daughter-in-law. However, Lisa's face this time really looks scary. Even if she's in a relationship, her face doesn't look like the face of someone in love.

"There's a crazy man."

"Who is that man?"

Who? Hm, she didn't know how she could explain that man. There didn't seem to be a word to describe a man who liked to act on his own. Lisa thought hard trying to find the right words to describe Jungkook, while all at once, the attention of the ajumma in the kitchen was drawn to Lisa's 'man' story.

"Aigoo, it looks like our nutritionist is in love."

[T/N: Aigoo / 아이구: Geez, oh no, oops. Can be used in many different contexts, but usually it's used to show frustration.]

"What love. This man already has another woman."

As soon as Lisa shook her head frantically, the ajumma simultaneously made furious faces. Seeing their expressions, Lisa, who was dizzy, couldn't help but laugh amusedly.

"Auntie, I'm going home first today. The menu for tomorrow is janchi-guksu only, so there doesn't seem to be any work now."

[T/N: Janchi-guksu or banquet noodles is a Korean noodle dish consisting of wheat flour noodles in a light broth made from anchovy and sometimes also dasima.]

Since the katsu menu for today was sold out, dinner time was automatically over.

[T/N: Katsu is a crispy fried cutlet of meat or seafood made with flaky Japanese panko breadcrumbs.]

Fortunately, tomorrow was the weekend and they only needed to prepare one type of dish so there wasn't much to prepare beforehand.

"Yes, it looks like there is no other work. Go, no need to worry."

"Thank you."

"Take care."

The ajumma in the kitchen earnestly warned her, but the warning seemed to go unheard by Lisa.

Lisa really couldn't understand the sudden phone call this morning. The bank manager called her directly. In fact, the bank manager called her personally and said that all of her debts had been paid off, along with the words 'it was a pleasure doing business with you'.

The bank manager even asked for her help in the future. Even though Lisa had explained repeatedly that it wasn't her money, the polite bank manager kept over-thanking her.

Why is he thanking me? After thinking and checking repeatedly, Lisa realized that Jeon Jungkook was the one behind all of this.

What exactly does that man want and why is he doing this? Every time she met him, Lisa always hoped that it was the last time and now she's sick of having to deal with that man again.
