The salmon steak with cream garnish that Jungkook ordered for Lisa really looked appetizing. Normally, Lisa would have immediately enjoyed the delicious food and tried to figure out what the recipe was. But strangely, today she didn't feel like eating that luxurious meal.

What did I eat this afternoon? There's obviously something wrong with her stomach for her to refuse such a delicious meal...

"Why aren't you eating?"

Jungkook frowned at the food on Lisa's plate that was still intact. Lisa didn't really have a specific reason, but the reason that first popped into her brain was the reason Hee Won often said when eating together at home. Because she heard that excuse so often, it finally came out of her mouth.

"I'm on a diet."

"What diet? Health is number one. That's your family rule number one, right?"

"Being too fat isn't healthy either."

Jungkook suddenly remembers Lisa's family rule that is most appropriate for this situation, so Lisa can't help but argue with the same reason Hee Won often uses.

Shin Hee and Jae Hyun stared at each other as if they didn't understand the conversation.

"What are family rules?"

"That's what it is."

"Yes, that's what it is."

"Okay, fine."

Jungkook and Lisa said simultaneously, while Shin Hee finally decided she didn't want to find out more about it. Ever since she visited Lisa's house that time, she felt unfamiliar with Jungkook's much more comfortable and relaxed demeanor. Especially when she found out that Jungkook shared a story about something Shin Hee didn't know with another woman. This made Shin Hee feel strange towards Jungkook, as if the man was someone else she didn't know. Then, the way he ordered food for Lisa and the way he told Lisa to eat were clearly different.

"You don't need to diet, so just eat. You're the one who nags Hee Won every day."

"Okay. As long as you eat all the mushrooms too."

"Jungkook doesn't like eating mushrooms."

Shin Hee smiled a little while telling Lisa, but Lisa showed an attitude that she already knew that too. Even more surprisingly, Jungkook immediately put a piece of mushroom into his mouth.

"I'm starting to like mushrooms now. They have anti-cancer properties, and it's said that they're good for people like me who can get old-age diseases at any time. Isn't that right?"

"That's right."

Hearing Lisa's short answer, Shin Hee unconsciously bit her lip, while Jae Hyun looked at the two people in surprise. Shin Hee really disliked and felt sad seeing the two people sharing stories that only the two of them understood. However, even though Shin Hee felt that way, the two people seemed to have already entered their own world. Just like her and Jungkook used to.

Suddenly, Shin Hee felt ashamed and angry at her attitude towards Lisa in the bathroom.

Lalisa Manobal, that woman was really a kind-hearted woman.

In fact, in her heart Shin Hee hoped that the woman was not a good woman. And, she felt more comfortable if that woman couldn't make Jungkook laugh casually like this. However, the person who put an ad in the newspaper to look for someone like Lisa was herself.

Why did I do that, Shin Hee regretted. Why did Jungkook even get to meet such a good woman?

After a while, their dinner finally ended. The four people who ate together at that time seemed to lose their appetite because they were busy with their own thoughts.
