"Are you just going to leave like this?" Somi stretched her neck and looked at the man in the passenger seat. "Listen to me, as a man, you shouldn't be too reserved. When you meet a woman you like, you should be shameless and brave to pursue her! You're already at a disadvantage, if you're this subtle, no matter how good-looking you are, she won't notice you. You should understand this. Weren't you classmates with her before? You didn't develop any feelings, which proves that your silent guarding strategy doesn't work. You need to change your approach..."

Eunwoo, who was driving, chuckled. "Kid, do you really understand anything? Brother Kook can go out and just stand there without saying a word, and he'll still attract a bunch of girls who want to exchange contact information with him! His looks and charisma are top-notch."

"Those women are shallow, not like my sister-in-law, Young Miss Manoban," Somi snorted. "My sister-in-law clearly has taste and substance. Picking a man isn't just about looks; there are plenty of good-looking people out there..."

"That's not necessarily true. If she wasn't into looks, she wouldn't have fallen for someone like Sehun..." Eunwoo stopped halfway through his sentence and quickly checked Jungkook's expression. Seeing that Jungkook did not react, he relaxed. But he was annoyed with himself for speaking without thinking. However, Brother Jungkook has been acting a bit distant toward Miss Manoban these past few days. It's different from being shameless. Could something have happened in the hospital last time?

Eunwoo did not dare to think further and changed the topic. "By the way, Somi, is there anything unusual happening in Country M?"

"A few major shareholders have been clamoring for Brother Kook to return and take charge, but I handled it. Nothing major. I think they've just made a lot of money and are starting to cause trouble. They didn't make a fuss when Brother Kook was out of contact for half a year. Somi shifted the focus of the conversation. "On the other hand, Shuhua has come to see Brother Kook a few times. I barely managed to brush her off. But that woman is smart; she'll probably figure out that Brother Kook has news soon and has returned to the country. She'll definitely come after him."

Jungkook, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly said, "Stop her, don't let her near me!"

Somi nodded and replied, "Understood."

After returning home, Lisa quickly washed up and went to sleep. When she woke up the next morning, she and Bambam were once again trending on social media. Along with that, there were photos of her and Jungkook chatting in the hallway.

Netizens automatically imagined a melodramatic love story between them, marketing accounts sought to grab attention and generate traffic, intentionally steering the conversation in that direction. As a result, the trending topic gained even more momentum.

Lisa looked at the messages on her phone, feeling both exasperated and amused. She knew that Bambam's assurances were worthless!

[I also want to be the female lead in a drama! Sigh, it's another day of envying rich women!]

[Wasn't there news yesterday that Sehun was hospitalized due to a car accident? Does Lisa really not care about her former husband at all?]

[Why should she care about her ex-husband? Seriously, if she cared, would he still be an ex-husband? A proper ex should stay out of sight, like they're dead.]

[Suddenly, I'm picturing Sehun, wrapped up like a mummy in the hospital, seeing his ex-wife with another man... Although it's unethical, it's kind of funny.]

[Thinking about it, when he went out with his lover, he probably didn't think about his ex-wife, did he?]

Sehun had just finished his examination and was feeling sore all over as he was moved back to his bed. He was already in a bad mood when he picked up his phone to distract himself, only to be greeted by a link sent by Nayun.
