Divorce : This is a Trivial Matter

28

It was a Friday, and quite a few young couples were out shopping, eating, and watching movies.

Lisa and Jungkook stood together in the HoneyPeach store, the clerk before them demonstrating the many new features of the HoneyPeach 10.
When she thought back to her brand-new HoneyPeach 9S, her heart ached. "I still don't want to buy such a expensive phone. What if I lose this one too...?"

"Are you going to keep running around so late at night?" Jungkook asked, giving her a sidelong glance. He put the white phone back into its box. "Please wrap this up for us."

"Of course," the salesman assented with a smile. "If you will please step over here to pay?"

He walked in the direction she had indicated. Following along behind him, Lisa saw him pass his card to the cashier. Her eyebrow leapt up. "Why are we using your card?"

Jungkook tilted his head and gave her a pointed look. "Have you gotten your salary yet this month?"

Lisa : "..."

"I've got some savings!" She lifted her chin. He had indeed generally covered most of their living expenses. In the last year, her own salary hadn't changed much; it was just enough for her to take care of a small white face!

"Please sign here," the cashier pointed. Jungkook withdrew his gaze, picked up the pen, and quickly signed his name.

Lisa glanced at his characters, beautifully written as always. She pursed her lips, picked up her new cell phone, and walked out of the store.

Upon arriving at a shop selling women's handbags, Jungkook glanced over and went inside again. Lisa now understood that he had come here just to buy things for her... or should she say, he had come here just to be taken advantage of?

She glanced at the logo above the store. This brand sold medium-priced bags, but there were a few that she couldn't afford even with a month's salary. As the saying goes, you learn from your mistakes, and she had just realized that the value of the wallet was the wallet itself.

From the counter, she picked out a wallet in cherry blossom pink.

Tapping her fingertip on the glass, she asked, "Can you take this out for me?"

"Of course! Please wait a moment." The sales clerk opened the cabinet and took the wallet out. Lisa studied it. The color was lovely, the leather was good, the hand-painted cherry blossoms were tasteful, and most importantly, the price was relatively reasonable.

This way, the tragedy of having nothing to put into a wallet after buying one wouldn't occur, and there would be no grief about losing the wallet itself if one was robbed again.
Lisa was very satisfied. "I'll take it."

"Thank you for your patronage. Please pay over here."

Upon seeing Jungkook coming forward to pay for this one as well, Lisa reprimanded, "Mr. Jeon, we are divorced. It's not a good idea to spend your money like this.”

Jungkook glanced in her direction, then silently paid the bill.
She stressed it to him again upon leaving the store. "I'm taking this as a loan. When I get my salary, I'll pay you back." Well, a month's salary might not be enough.

He turned into the next door restaurant, which served light refreshments. "Let's first have dinner."

"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Lisa followed him in with a frown.

It was peak lunch period and the store was so busy that there was hardly any room to be found. Fortunately, the table beside them had just left, so Lisa snatched the chance to sit down. Soon a waiter came over to clear the table. Jungkook handed the paper bag in his hand to her. "You sit here while I order. What would you like to eat?"
