At noon, Lisa only ate , fermented tofu, and boiled meat along with a bowl of white rice. She had eaten her entire lunchbox clean. Four hours had passed since lunch, yet she actually acted as if nothing had happened. In one breath, she had eaten... Jungkook deliberately counted. Five plates of roasted streaky pork.

No, she had begun roasting a sixth plate.

Jungkook gazed at her, engrossed. "Did you not eat your fill at lunch?"

As Lisa roasted meat, she said, "This has nothing to do with if I ate my fill or not. I simply can eat a lot. My mom said that this was me making up for not eating much as a child."

Jungkook chuckled and said, "Normally, I also don't see you eat this much."

"Normally, I have restraint. Today, Director Jeon has invited me to dinner, so I naturally would put forth sincerity and eat."

Jungkook: "..."

Hearing this, her other female colleagues, one after another, began expressing sincerity by eating more.

Jungkook didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he called for the waiter to add several more dishes.

A group of female colleagues sitting together and eating naturally resulted in a table buzzing with chatter. Jungkook also was unable to join in their conversation, so he just sat to the side and quietly roasted meat.

With a brush in hand, Lisa said to him, "Director Jeon, I'll roast. You should get something to eat."

Jungkook looked at her and chuckled. "I ate my fill at lunch."

Lisa: "..."

"If you ate your fill at lunch, you should be hungry by now." She picked up an almost done roasted scallop and placed it on Jungkook's plate. "You should eat more."

"Thanks." Jungkook raised the corners of his lips and revealed a smile to her. Lisa suddenly recalled that drawing of him on her computer. Forcefully moving her gaze, she stared at the variety of vegetables and meat on the grill with single-minded devotion.

After eating barbecue, Jungkook originally intended to return to work, but his staff was in a happy mood after eating and proposed karaoke. Upstairs, Starlight General Merchandise had a KTV, so they didn't need to go very far again. It was very convenient.

Jungkook didn't go to KTV often, and the occasions where he did go, he rarely sang. He would only sing when it was a gathering of VOICE studio members. "You all can go and sing. Come find me after, and I'll reimburse you."

The site manager said, "Director Jeon treated us to a meal, so we invite you to karaoke. Don't know if Director Jeon is willing to do us the honor?"

Lisa was actually looking forward to this slightly. Jungkook's voice was so pleasant to the ear; his singing must also be very pleasant to listen to. She wondered, Is he better than Justin S.?

Everyone looked at him with hopeful faces. Jungkook really couldn't refuse, so he promised to go to the KTV with them. He made it clear, however, that he would not sing. He rapidly discovered, though, that each and every employee of Fantasy Wardrobe was a mic hog. Even if he wanted to sing, they might not necessarily give him the chance to.

He glanced at Lisa who was sitting beside him. He asked her, "Are you not going to sing?"

Lisa shook her head. "I don't listen to songs often, and the songs I can sing are few in number. I don't want to go up and lose face."

The site manager heard her say this and clapped her hands, saying, "After the next song, let Lisa sing! Ha, reserve it for her!"

Lisa: "..."
