She and Jungkook had arranged to meet at five o'clock.

Using the address he had given her, she found her way to the place. Right as she was about to give Toupai a call like they had discussed, it just so happened that one of the residents of the building was opening the metal security door from the inside. Lisa mulled things over very briefly, put away her phone, and before the door had closed all the way, slipped inside.

Really... it was not a big deal if she went up herself. She was already downstairs, and asking someone to come down to escort her seemed a little pretentious T.T.

The elevator stopped at the twenty-fourth floor and Lisa stepped out. She discovered the layout here was very well designed with only two individual apartments on this floor. Glancing at the apartment numbers, she found the correct door. She inhaled and then exhaled lightly, trying not to be nervous.

All of a sudden, there rang out a burst of laughter comprised of several persons' voices mixed together...

Nice! There really were a lot of people here today.

Immediately after she rang the doorbell, she heard someone call out, "Mingyu, Mingyu, hurry up and open the door." The sound of Mingyu's grumbling could be indistinctly heard, and then suddenly, the door was opened. It was Mingyu.

"So early?" Mingyu motioned to her that there were slippers off to the side. "We're playing mahjong right now. Jungkook's in the kitchen making dinner. Make yourself at home,Lily. I'm about to kick everyone's butts, so I won't entertain you."

Lisa answered with an "mm," and then Mingyu, in a very non host-like manner, had already dashed back to the balcony and sat down at the mahjong table.

After changing into a pair of slippers, Lisa looked over and saw six or seven people, some immersed in the game, some spectators, surrounding the mahjong table. They all quickly greeted Lisa before turning back to the game.

Everyone was treating her like an old friend and that instantly made her feel much more at ease.

But... while she was debating for a few seconds whether she should go watch them play mahjong or go to the kitchen, she saw a person stroll out from behind the frosted glass window of the kitchen.

Holding a fish in his right hand, Jungkook walked up beside the sliding door of the kitchen and said to her in greeting, "Why didn't you call me first?"

The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up above his elbows, both of his hands were dripping wet, and a blue apron was tied around his body. Every part of him was declaring to the world that Unrivalled Allure Jungkook DaRen was cooking at this moment... Lisa stared at him a little blankly and only after a while did she remember that he had said he liked to do his own cooking. "Someone happened to be opening the door when I arrived downstairs, so I just came straight up..."

"It's better this way anyway," Taehyung jumped in in a rather quiet voice. He yawned, "Why so polite? Don't worry about those courtesies."

"Yeah. If you're all polite and courteous everyday, how are you going to spend the rest of your days together?" Eunwoo grabbed the remote control beside him and turned up the temperature on the thermostat slightly. "It's not like you're an outsider."

While everyone was poking fun at them, Jennie unexpectedly popped her head out from behind Jungkook and prodded him on the shoulder. "Jungkook DaRen, step aside, please." Toupai turned slightly to let her pass, and she stepped out holding a plate of bright red strawberries that had obviously just been washed. While munching on one, she sauntered up in front of Lily, picked up a strawberry, and held it right up to her mouth. "It's really sweet."
