"Don't touch me when we're out in public."
"Don't openly say that I am your wife." "Don't let people know that you and I live together."

Lisa sneaked a peak at him while he was changing his shoes at the entrance before lowering her head to focus on her plate of dumplings.
She acted exactly the same way as before when she was alone in the mansion, but deep in her heart, she was fully aware that her palms were damp from sweat.
Jungkook entered the living room, throwing his jacket onto the sofa. As he was loosening his tie, he caught sight of the lights in the kitchen. Inside, Lisa was eating alone at a long dining table that could fit up to ten people.
He stopped loosening his tie and turned towards the European clock in the living room. It was nearly 1 am in the morning. He frowned slightly before throwing his tie on the sofa and turning to head up the stairs. After just two steps, he turned towards the dining area as though he had forgotten something.
Even though Lisa was eating, her attention was focused on Jungkook. She was not looking at him but she could hear him fiddling around. She had originally relaxed when he had headed towards the staircase, but the next moment, he had approached the dining area.
Lisa's heart clenched, her actions stiffening.
When he was in the living room, Jungkook wasn't able to see what she was eating, but once he entered the dining area, he could clearly see the plate of frozen dumplings. His frown deepened and his lips moved slightly as though he wanted to ask something. But he didn't. Taking large strides, he walked towards the fridge and opened it. Other than the mineral water he had ordered, there was only frozen dumplings and instant noodles inside.
Jungkook stared at the fridge for a while before reaching inside to take a bottle of mineral water. Opening it, he leaned against the large stone wall and downed a big gulp.
Uneasy due to Jungkook's presence, Lisa finished her plate of dumplings rapidly before standing up to wash the plate. She dried her hands hurriedly and went back upstairs. Just as Lisa was coming out of the shower, Jungkook entered the bedroom.
The bathroom door was next to the bedroom and they bumped right into each other. Lisa stiffened. She wanted to look up but couldn't muster up enough courage. In the end, she hung her head and rushed into the bedroom.
Jungkook swept a glance at Lisa's back before going into the bathroom.
Down with a cold, Lisa felt exhausted. She walked towards her side of the bed and plopped down. As she was about to fall into a deep sleep, she heard water streaming from the bathroom. That was when she realized that Jungkook was going to stay for the night!
Lisa struggled out the bed, walking slowly to the dressing room to take the bear out.
Hugging the bear, she was halfway to the bed when Jungkook came out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Holding another towel in his hand, he dried his hair as he walked out.
Jungkook stopped momentarily when he saw Lisa hugging the bear. Wearing a nonchalant expression, he walked towards the vanity table to blow dry his hair.
