The sun peeked through the curtains of the lavish penthouse bedroom, casting a warm glow on the sleeping couple. Jeon Jungkook, the notoriously cold CEO of JK Enterprises, stirred first. His eyes softened as they landed on his wife, Jeon Lalisa, affectionately known as Lisa.

"Lisa," he murmured, gently shaking her shoulder. "It's time to wake up."

Lisa groaned, burying her face deeper into the pillow. "Five more minutes, Kookie," she mumbled.

Jungkook chuckled, a sound reserved only for her. "You said that ten minutes ago. Come on, sleepyhead."

With a dramatic sigh, Lisa rolled over, her eyes still closed. "Fine, but only if you kiss me good morning."

Jungkook leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. As he pulled away, Lisa's eyes fluttered open, a mischievous glint in them. In a swift motion, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him back down, deepening the kiss.

When they finally parted, both slightly breathless, Jungkook shook his head with a smile. "You're incorrigible."

"You love it," Lisa grinned, finally sitting up.

As Lisa swung her legs over the side of the bed, her foot caught in the sheets. With a yelp, she tumbled to the floor in a tangle of limbs and bedding.

"Lisa!" Jungkook was by her side in an instant, concern etched on his usually stoic face. "Are you okay?"

Lisa looked up at him, her hair a mess and a sheepish smile on her face. "I'm fine, just my usual graceful self."

Jungkook helped her up, his touch gentle. "What am I going to do with you?" he sighed, but the fondness in his voice was unmistakable.

"Love me forever?" Lisa suggested, batting her eyelashes dramatically.

"Always," Jungkook replied, pulling her close for another kiss.

Their morning routine continued with Lisa's typical clumsiness - she nearly knocked over a vase while getting dressed, almost spilled coffee on Jungkook's crisp white shirt, and misplaced her car keys three times before finding them in the refrigerator, of all places.

Through it all, Jungkook watched with a mixture of exasperation and adoration. Lisa's vibrant energy and carefree spirit were the perfect counterbalance to his usually serious demeanor. She brought color to his monochrome world, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

As they parted ways for the day - Jungkook to his office and Lisa to her classes at Hanyang High School - neither could have predicted the phone call that would come later that afternoon.

The day progressed normally until Jungkook's office phone rang with an unexpected call.

"Hello?" he answered, his voice resuming its usual businesslike tone.

"Mr. Jeon? This is Principal Park from Hanyang High School. I'm calling about your wife, Lisa."

Jungkook's expression softened slightly at the mention of Lisa. "Is everything alright?"

"Well, sir, there's been an... incident. Your wife was caught spray painting inspirational messages on the gymnasium wall."

A small chuckle escaped Jungkook's lips before he could stop it. "I see. And what does my troublemaker wife have to say for herself?"

"She claims it was an 'artistic intervention' to boost student morale," Principal Park said, exasperation clear in his voice.

"Of course she does," Jungkook replied, a hint of fondness in his tone. "I'll be there shortly to handle this. Thank you for calling, Principal Park."

As he hung up, Jungkook shook his head, a rare smile playing on his lips. Lisa certainly kept his life interesting. He'd have to remember to ask her what inspired messages she chose this time.

Grabbing his coat, Jungkook headed out, already imagining the animated explanation Lisa would give him. Despite the trouble, he couldn't help but feel a warmth spreading through his chest. This was the woman he fell in love with - unpredictable, passionate, and always full of surprises. And he wouldn't change a thing about her.

Jungkook arrived at Hanyang University, his sleek black car drawing curious glances from the students milling about. As he strode towards the administration building, he couldn't help but smile inwardly at the situation. At 28, he was a successful CEO, and his 21-year-old wife was still finishing her art degree. Their relationship had raised eyebrows, but Jungkook had never cared about others' opinions.

He found Lisa sitting outside the Dean's office, her legs swinging childishly as she hummed a tune. Her eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Kookie! You came!" she exclaimed, jumping up to hug him.

Jungkook's stern expression softened as he returned the embrace. "Of course I came. Now, care to explain why you decided to redecorate the gymnasium?"

Lisa's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Oh, Kookie, you should see it! I turned that boring old wall into a masterpiece of motivation! There are inspirational quotes, vibrant colors, even a few hidden Mickey Mouse ears for fun!"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "Hidden Mickey Mouse ears?"

"For the inner child in all of us," Lisa nodded sagely.

Before Jungkook could respond, the Dean's door opened. "Mr. and Mrs. Jeon, please come in."

Inside, Dean Kim looked between the couple, his expression a mix of exasperation and amusement. "Mrs. Jeon, while we appreciate your... artistic spirit, vandalizing university property is a serious offense."

"Vandalism?" Lisa gasped dramatically. "Dean Kim, I prefer to call it 'surprise beautification'."

Jungkook coughed to hide his chuckle. "I apologize for my wife's actions, Dean Kim. I assure you, it won't happen again." He gave Lisa a pointed look.

"Well," Dean Kim sighed, "given Mrs. Jeon's excellent academic record and the fact that the message was indeed quite uplifting, we're willing to be lenient. However, there will be consequences."

"Of course," Jungkook nodded. "What did you have in mind?"

"Community service," Dean Kim replied. "Mrs. Jeon will help repaint the gymnasium - properly this time - and assist in organizing the upcoming charity art auction."

Lisa's eyes widened. "The charity auction? But that's a huge event!"

"Indeed," Dean Kim smiled. "Consider it an opportunity to channel your creativity more... appropriately."

As they left the office, Jungkook wrapped an arm around Lisa's waist. "You're lucky, you know. Most people would have been expelled."

Lisa leaned into him. "I know. I'm sorry for causing trouble, Kookie. I just wanted to make people smile."

Jungkook's expression softened. "You always do, Lisa. That's one of the reasons I love you."

Lisa beamed up at him. "Even when I'm a troublemaker?"

"Especially then," Jungkook chuckled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Now, let's go home. You can tell me all about your 'surprise beautification' over dinner."

As they walked to the car, Lisa chattering excitedly about her mural ideas for the charity auction, Jungkook couldn't help but marvel at the whirlwind that was his wife. She might be a handful, but she brought joy and color to his life in ways he never thought possible.

And as Lisa stumbled over a crack in the sidewalk, nearly taking them both down before Jungkook steadied her, he was reminded once again that life with Lisa was many things, but it was never, ever boring.
