When the house leaks, it always rains


Mingyu ultimately convinced Lisa to go to the nearest hospital. The doctor not only wrapped her wounds, he even gave her an injection as well.

She had not gotten an injection for so many years, so when Lisa heard that she needed one, fear ran rampant through her heart. Her younger brother was by her side, however; upon remembering how she had mocked him as a kid for being afraid of shots, she definitely had to pretend that she was nonchalant about this. After glancing at the bill, she realized the greatest pain came not from the shot…

Is this doctor scamming me?! Needing a shot just because a cat scratched me, plus it’s so expensive too!” Lisa couldn’t help but voice her complaints as she sat in the car on the trip back.

Haruto snickered and said to her, “I heard the shot is charged based on body weight.”

Lisa: “…”

If there wasn’t an outsider here, she would definitely ruthlessly beat him up.

Driving the car in the front, Mingyu said, “Not all the stray cats in the neighborhood got their vaccines, so it’s relatively safer to get a shot.” He began to consider getting all the stray cats in the neighborhood vaccinated upon mentioning this.

Lisa asked him, “After those cats are sent to the hospital, when will they be discharged?”

“Depends, each cat’s circumstances are different. It should take several days.”

“Oh.” Recalling that the only one to escape this calamity was the orange cat, Lisa felt that this probably was, as they said, profiting from a disaster.

Losing its whiskers but saving its balls.

Mn—although ultimately, everything would still be lost.

Mingyu agreed to Lisa’s request and drove her directly to her nail salon. Lisa got out of the car first. Tilting his head, he glanced at her hand. “Your hands can still give manicures to customers like this?”

Lisa stated, “It’s fine; it’s only a small injury and won’t affect anything.”

Mingyu countered, “I meant, if customers saw that your hand is injured, would they not want you to touch them?”

Lisa: “…”

Do you think everyone is a clean freak like you!” Lisa slammed the car door shut—pa—after saying this.

‘Clean freak.’ These two words seemed to stab Mingyu. A frown tugged lightly at his lips as he started the car.

Lisa furiously stormed into the salon. The little apprentice who had recently started working looked at her curiously from outside the door, asking her, “Lisa jie, was the one who just delivered you here your new boyfriend? His car is quite nice!”

Lisa’s brows shot up and asked her instead, “How could you curse your boss like this!?”

Little apprentice: “…”

Lisa couldn’t let her hands touch water at the moment, so it was indeed a bit inconvenient. She reflected deeply on herself. Why did she give the gloves to Mr. Kim back then? She was practically a pig using oil to stifle the heart. 1

Although doing a good deed might have helped Haruto gather character when he entered Starlight General Merchandise to sit for the second round of interviews; he could obtain an internship.
