Lisa discovered recently that Jungkook started keeping secrets from her. Everyday after work, he would go inside the bedroom and stay there for an extended period of time. Every time that he came back out of the room, his eyes would be moist and his ears red.

As though he had done something unspeakable.

Lisa didn't pry. Jungkook having his own little secret was also a sign of improvement.

Inside the study, Jungkook had on a red hooded sweater. He had the hood over his head as though he was trying to hide under it.

Under the hood, his neck and ears were red, as though blood would drip out of them.

He flipped through the book that was given to him by Taehyung. It was filled with tips. Jungkook was very focused. He needed to learn this quickly since Lili's birthday was getting close.

Taehyung had reminded him before that the first time was very important. He must succeed. Failure was not an option. He would feel very embarrassed otherwise.

He didn't care about feeling embarrassed. All he cared about was not letting Lili down.

Lisa was reminded by Mother Jeon that her birthday was coming up. It was the same day as her birthday in her previous life.

"I plan to have a banquet for you that day. Your birthday calls for a big celebration!" Mother Jeon clapped happily. "Do share if you have any other ideas in mind."

"I am okay with what you have planned, Mom. I don't have anything to add." Lisa's parents had always taken care of her birthday for her, so she was already used to just agreeing with what the elders had planned.

"Good then. I will start looking for a venue this afternoon. We should also start preparing for your evening gown and jewelry as well." The more Mother Jeon thought about it, the more there was to do. She had always thought of Lisa as her own daughter. Naturally, she wanted everything to be perfect.

Lisa received a call from Old Mr. Kim. He said the Kim family would throw a big party to celebrate her birthday.

Lisa told him that the Jeon family was already planning it.

Old Mr. Kim had no choice but to sigh and said, "Grandpa will definitely come on your birthday."

Lisa smiled sweetly and sweet-talked him, saying that she would be waiting for his arrival.

Even Grandma Lee had found out about Lisa's birthday and made a point of telling Mother Jeon to do a good job at planning the celebration.

Lisa felt that she was the calmest of them all. To her, Jungkook was the only other person who remained calm amidst all the preparations. In fact, Lisa felt that he had no idea that her birthday was quickly approaching.

At the company.

Taehyung was stopped by Jungkook when he walked past Jungkook's spot.

"Young Master Jungkook." Now that the two had something in common to talk about on a personal level, Taehyung suddenly felt that Jungkook was a comrade of his.

"Here's your book back. I'm done with it." Jungkook pulled out a book that was wrapped in a book cover from his red backpack and placed it on his desk.

Startled, Taehyung quickly looked around and clutched the book against his chest. "You are done with it, Young Master Jungkook?"

Jungkook slowly acknowledged him. "Mmm."

Truth was, Taehyung felt that showing Jungkook a few videos would be even better. It would be much clearer. But he also didn't want to be a bad influence on Jungkook, which was why he went with a more conservative approach of giving him a book.

Holding onto the book, Taehyung was worried that someone else would notice. He quickly said, "I'll attend to my own business then, Young Master Jungkook."

Jungkook nodded.

Something occurred to Taehyung suddenly, so he paused and decided to remind Jungkook. "By the way......"

Taehyung looked uneasy. He organized his thoughts a bit before saying, "It is best to have your first experience in a nice environment. The ambiance will be more suitable."

He, too, was not that experienced, but he was at least better than Jungkook, the 100% rookie.

Jungkook made a mental note of that. It must be a beautiful environment.
