Married at first sight [Liskook]

19.[Bust-up]

The following morning, Lisa aproached her window and withdrew the heavy curtains. With the window pushed open, a chill crept into her room. Shivering in the cold, she quickly closed the windows.

By the looks of the gray sky, it was going to rain.

The earlier chill announced the drop in temperature.

Since Seoul and Busan were in the same region, the weather was roughly the same. It was cold in the mornings and nights during late fall and early winter. Once the sun rose, so would the temperature. It would be warm then.

The temperature drop along with the rain was only a reminder to the people that it was time to layer up with a thin jacket.

Lisa stretched and went to brush her teeth. She then changed out of her pajamas and went from her bedroom to the kitchen to make Jungkook a pasta dish. That was his request yesterday. Opening the fridge door, Lisa realized that they were out of fresh produce. The milk was barely enough. She also ran out of cheese which was essential for any pasta dish.

Lisa decided to make a quick run to the market.

She exited the kitchen as Jungkook came out of his room. Dressed in a blue tracksuit and sneakers, Jungkook looked like he was going for a run.

"It's a little chilly today. It's likely to rain too. Are you going out for a run? Don't forget to bring along an umbrella, so you don't get soaked."

Seeing that Lisa was carrying her purse that contained her phone and keys, he asked, "Are you going to the market?"

"Our fridge is running low on inventory. I'm going to get groceries from the market. Do you want to come along? You can run to the market and back."

Considering the distance between Brynfield and the market, Jungkook shook his head.

"I'm just going to jog around the neighborhood. You can get groceries from the nearby supermarket. There's no need to go to the market."

Lisa responded to Jungkook while making her way out, "The supermarket prices are more expensive than in the market. We can't just spend extravagantly. We must be budget conscious."

Jungkook had no words as he stared at her back.

"The allowance I gave you should be enough for us to live comfortably. Don't be too frugal. You got to treat yourself. What's the point of earning money? It's so we can eat better, have better clothes, and live life without reservation."

Lisa stopped outside the door and waited for Jungkook to come out before closing and locking the front door.

She then replied, "Be grateful that you married a wife who is budget conscious and careful not to splurge. Do you think you can afford me if I waste a few hundred thousand dollars on a bag?"

Patting Jungkook on the chest, she added. "Consider yourself lucky, pal. You got a good thing going on."

Jungkook was speechless.

The couple walked down the stairs together. Jungkook went for his morning run while Lisa rode her e-bike to the market. She was mounting the bike when Jungkook reminded her, "Get extra groceries to bring to your shop. You can cook your lunch. You should stop ordering takeout."
