Gray Mansion...

An alluring scent of a delicious hotpot dancing with the wind caused all the hidden beings around the house raised their heads as they quietly craving for it. But of course, as expected, the only one who didn’t drool was the wooden man sitting nonchalantly cold in a long table without any visible expression in his every move.

A girl dressed in plain white served a bowl in front of him as she stared at him expectantly, waiting for his reaction.

But as expected, Jungkook who was wearing his usual dark clothes started eating quietly as usual, with no visible reactions at all.

Thankfully, he soon realized the meaning behind the gazes being thrown on him. He raised his head and looked at the girl who was watching him intently.

"Mm, good," he said with his same blank tone then he continued eating.

Resting her face in one hand, lisa could only smile. The result was exactly as what she expected but she strangely didn’t feel any disappointment. She felt as though she was glad instead that he’s at least eating the food she cooked for him.

"Is it okay for you if... I’ll be the one cooking for you from now on?"

she asked.

Jungkook raised his head and looked at her, replying her one word. "Why?"

Eh? Why? Do I need to have a reason for cooking for him? Lisa’s calm self turned a bit puzzled, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

"B-because I’m your wife. And I don’t have much work to do here anyway."

Her statement was followed by another long silence. And Jungkook was still looking at her sudden indifferent expression. Of course it was almost an expression no one should have notice but in front of Jungkook, it’s quite obvious. He could also tell that her voice slightly wavered when shesaid, 'she doesn’t have much work to do’.

"Are you getting bored here?"

"Ah? Um... that," lisa was instantly tongue tied. She didn’t expect the man to ask her such question. She didn’t expect him to easily see through the emotion she’s suppressing so bad within her. Leaving her without a choice, she was forced to admit it. "Mm... it’s not really like that but maybe I’m not just used in staying all day long inside a house. Especially when you’re not around, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it soon."

"What do you want to do?"

"Huh?" Lisa wasn’t sure about what he meant, she doesn’t want to jump into conclusions especially when it comes to this unfathomable man. She stared at him curious.

"You can still pursue your dream if you wish."

The moment those words came out of Jungkook’s mouth, lisa abruptly stood as if she couldn’t believe what he just said. Her mouth hanged open as she stared at Jungkook with an eyes filled with disbelief. That moment she signed that contract, she already gave up not just her body but also her future and her dream. She was aware that she no longer own herself, thus, she buried all her desire while wishing that they’ll disappear with the flow of time. And yet, what is this?

Jungkook on the other hand could only continue watching the girl’s stupefied face. To him, her speechless face filled with disbelief, her widened eyes and her mouth hanging opened were somewhat amusing into his eyes. He thought that it wasn’t that bad to surprise this girl once in a while.

"As long as you won’t break my rules, as long as you prioritize your responsibility to me, you can do what you want." He continued and after another long silence, the girl in front of him suddenly walked back and forth like a broken robot as her hands were pinching her own cheeks.
