On one side, the brief exchange between the two brothers had ended, but on the other side, Mama Jeon was pulling Lisa out of the kitchen with great enthusiasm. She  ran over turned on the TV. “I nearly forgot that today that Heavenly Voice competition is airing. Earlier I saw on a commercial that Jungkook is a judge.”

Lisa froze. It couldn’t be….?

While the TV screen was still turning on, a voice began transmitting from the stereo. “Greeting the judges. I am number 65, Lisa.”

Lisa, “…..”

She could only think that this situation was even more coincidental than winning the lottery. Yet this kind of story like situation had actually happened.

Lisa’s face appeared on the screen, which piqued even Junghyun’s interest enough to stay in the living room, no longer in any rush to leave.

….. They wouldn’t think that she knew Jungkook was a judge and deliberately signed up to compete right? Lisa felt that the circumstances unfolding before them needed some explaining. “About this, please don’t misunderstand. I only found out after signing up that Jungkook was a judge. Really!”

Jungkook also opened his mouth to speak. “Yeah, even though she’s my wife, I definitely won’t help her with any favoritism. You guys don’t need to worry.”

Who knew that Mama Jeon would disagree? She looked at him and said, “If you aren’t even going to help your own wife, who are you going to help? Lili used to help you so much with your schoolwork. What’s wrong with helping her out professionally?”

Jungkook, “……”

Didn’t you used to teach me that a person needs to be impartial and fair and avoid bribery and fraud? Why would that change after growing up?

Mama Jeon completely ignored Jungkook’s shaken moral values. At the moment she was unhappy with the evaluation Jungkook gave Lisa. “Lisa sings way better than you do. From where do you get the confidence to scold other people like that?”

Jungkook, “……”

Standing off to the side, Junghyun couldn’t stop himself from laughing out loud.

Jungkook decided to give up on explaining himself and rapidly came up with a plan. “Right now Lisa is competing on Heavenly Voice. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, don’t go around telling people about our marriage.”

Junghyun replied, “In order to avoid arousing suspicion, shouldn’t you be the one giving up your judge position?”

Jungkook, “……”

He shot Junghyun a glance and turned around while pulling Lisa along. “Lili, let’s leave!”

“Ah, oh……” Lisa stretched out her arm out to grab the bag sitting on the couch and quickly followed Jungkook out the door.

In the car, Lisa decided to explain to him one more time. “I really didn’t know you were a judge when I signed up.”

Back when commercials were running to advertise Heavenly Voice, they had very clearly used Jungkook’s name as a means of attracting an audience. Now, her saying she didn’t know really did seem a bit far-fetched, but she really didn’t know!”

Jungkook concentrated on driving the car and didn’t look at Lisa. “It doesn’t matter. In any case, I’ve already said that I won’t open the back door for you.”

“Che.” Lisa rolled her eyes indifferently. “If you gave me first place through the backdoor, I wouldn’t even want it.”

Jungkook laughed and glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. “Okay, it looks like our family’s Lili is actually quite ambitious.”
