?3?
After Jungkook and Lisa finished watching a movie that weekend, they came out of the theater and met a man. Though Lisa felt momentarily embarrassed, Jungkook was suddenly fired with with fighting spirit. He curved his eyes into a smile and politely offered a hand.
"Mr. Yi, long time no see."
Yi Nan[1] was Lisa's boyfriend of three years from college. Back then, Lisa held deep feelings towards this man, deep enough that Jungkook still felt uneasy and threatened even now.
Yi Nan politely shook hands with Jungkook before exchanging some common courtesies with Lisa. Afterwards, he bade his leave. Lisa turned slightly back and she traced the minute form of Yi Nan's figure, before turning around to face Jungkook's probing eyes.
"What?"
"Whoever told me to kneel on a washboard last time should kneel as well when we get back!"
Lisa stuck up two fingers. "You made two mistakes with your words. First, you were the one who bought the washboard last time to kneel on it yourself; second, can you really bear to have me kneel?"
Jungkook gave her a few huffy glares, only to see her expression turn smug. He resisted his temper with great difficulty as they went off to dinner.
After they sat down in the restaurant, Lisa ordered beefsteak, inciting Jungkook to comment. "In the past, you never liked eating beefsteak from this restaurant. What's the occasion today?"
Lisa gave him a strange look. "I just had an urge to try some, is there a problem?"
"None." Jungkookg stuck his head behind the menu for a while, reading its contents before suddenly speaking up. "I heard that Yi Nan really likes eating beefsteak."
"Ah, is that so...wait a minute," Lisa pried away Jungkook's menu with a stern look. "I say, Jungkook, you've been acting difficulty ever since then. That happened a long time ago, so why do you still care about him?"
You don't care because you've never tried to steal a girl from him! These words circled the tip of Jungkook's tongue before he swallowed them back down. "I don't care, I was just bringing something up. Lisa, what's with the big reaction?" He adopted a stern countenance as he hailed a nearby attendant. "I want a serving of vinegar pickled cabbage."
The attendant pursed his lips. "Sir, I'm sorry, but this is a western restaurant."
Lisa picked up the conversation. "Give him some vinegar spaghetti or vinegar beefsteak, see how sore he is."

After eating their meal, Jungkook was on the topic of Yi Nan all the way home. He made such a racket that Lisa grew vexed and gave him the cold shoulder. "Are you secretly in love with him?! I still have his number, so why don't you call him and confess!"
"You have his number!" Jungkook's voice completely changed pitch.
Lisa grew impatient. "That's not the point here!"
"Of course that's the point! My wife actually still has her ex-boyfriend's phone number!"
"He's just never bothered to change it, I was too lazy to delete him."
Jungkook clutched his head as if the sky was about to collapse. "It's over, over! The first crisis of our marriage has the wife challenging the husband to a never-before-seen battle! I have to be calm be steady be brave against my foe, my wife belongs to me, my wife belongs to me, my wife belongs to me..."
The veins on Lisa's forehead twitched as she rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave. Jungkook was quick to give chase. "Are you running away from your crimes?"
