Impossible Lovers

Lisa had returned to the hotel in the afternoon, but at that time, the hotel kitchen staff hadn't finished their shifts, so she didn't dare to barge into the kitchen at that time. It was only after dinner was over and the chefs had gone off duty that Lisa could finally take over the kitchen.

At this time of day, she could only prepare some late-night snacks for everyone. Although her room had a kitchen, it definitely wasn't as spacious and well-equipped as the hotel kitchen, nor did it have the same variety of ingredients. So, she preferred to showcase her culinary skills in the hotel's large kitchen.

When Jungkook  entered, Lisa was waiting for the crispy pork belly to be ready. The aroma of the roasting was already very enticing; the smell alone was mouthwatering.

Lisa heard someone coming in and turned her head to take a look. Both of them stood, locking eyes in silence.

The atmosphere felt a bit awkward, so Lisa tugged at the corner of her mouth and asked, "Why are you here? Did the aroma of my roast waft into your room?"

Jungkook  cleared his throat and stood there, saying, "When I came back, the front desk told me that you made a lot of late-night snacks and asked me to help eat them so that they won't go to waste."

Lisa: "..."

Why did he make mooching for food sound so fresh and popular!

The front desk staff too, why didn't they send anyone else to mooch off her food? Why only Jungkook ? Huh, it's obvious that they're doing it just for the CP!

She couldn't understand why people ship couples that have no chemistry or logical basis. Are they really so indiscriminate about it?

After mentally venting her frustration, Lisa got up from her stool. She had indeed made a bit too much tonight, and if it went to waste, it would be a pity.

"Consider yourself lucky; I'm in a good mood today," Lisa walked to a large pot and scooped a bowl of lean pork congee for Jungkook , "This is my stewed century egg and lean pork congee. I made a bit too much."

The congee had been kept warm in the pot, so it was still hot. Jungkook  took the bowl and thanked Lisa.

"I also grilled a lot of barbecue over there; take a look and see what you'd like to eat," Lisa said as she estimated that the crispy pork belly was almost done. She quickly put on gloves and took out the pork belly.

The two pieces of crispy pork belly were roasted to perfection, with crispy golden skin and sizzling oil on top. As soon as they were taken out, the aroma became even more alluring, tempting anyone who smelled it.

Jungkook 's stomach growled.

The sound wasn't loud, but Lisa heard it. She turned to look at Jungkook  and burst into laughter, "Was that your stomach just now? My crispy pork belly is so tempting, hahaha!"

"..."

Jungkook  pursed his lips, trying to maintain his composure, "I haven't had dinner tonight."

Lisa continued to laugh, "You've been working overtime until now? That's really tough, hahaha."

Jungkook : "..."

After Lisa finished laughing, she finally started cutting the crispy pork belly. Because it was roasted to be crispy, the knife made a crackling sound as she cut through it. Once the pork belly was cut, Lisa arranged it on a plate and also placed the dipping sauce she had prepared earlier on the side.

"Give it a try," She motioned toward Jungkook .

Jungkook  used chopsticks to pick up a piece of the crispy pork belly, dipped it into the sauce, and took a bite.
