Chapter 80

Jungkook's words made Lisa's heart twinge. She also really wanted to stay behind to take care of Jungkook, but she just didn't know if the centre would agree. Addressing her concerns, Jungkook said, "Leave this sort of things for Coach RM to worry about. You go and prepare. But..."

At the thought that Lili had only requested for 2 days of leave, Jungkook was sad again. Didn't she still have to go to work after two days anyway? Meanwhile, there was no telling how long he would have to stay here.

Thinking about it, Jungkook said to Lisa, "Lili, why don't you apply for a few more days of leave?"

"How long?"

"One month?"

A month? The entire winter vacation was about a month! Lisa hesitated. "I don't mind, but Director Yang Hyun Suk will definitely never agree."

"Here, give me your phone. I'll talk to him."

With no illness or any other urgent matter, it was indeed rather too much to ask for a long leave of absence. Moreover, Lisa's agency was currently short-staffed — how could they permit a reporter employed full-time to leave for as long as a month? Therefore, to persuade Director Yang Hyun Suk, some incentive must be given. Jungkook instantly saw the key to the matter. He said to Director Yang Hyun Suk, "Director Yang Hyun Suk, I can discuss with the team so that while Lisa is on leave, she can provide current reports on my recovery. What do you think?"

This was a great temptation. Right now, the desire for news of Jungkook's condition in the outside world had exceeded Director Yang Hyun Suk's expectations. Leaving aside the hardcore swimming fans, there were still many people who had become swimming fans only because of Jungkook, and also the three generations of women who did not care much for swimming but who had fallen deeply for Jungkook's good looks... even his 15-year old niece was asking about Jungkook.

Occasionally, Director Yang Hyun Suk would lament that this world was too shallow, biased towards superficial beauty, but that was the reality of things, so the journalists had to accept it and work with it. Thus, if he truly could secure the rights to conduct real-time reporting on Jungkook, the sales of their publication would definitely climb significantly. This was beyond doubt. In addition, "obtaining exclusive insider news which would then be reposted by other peers in the field" — this feeling was the pleasure of every person who worked in journalism, and Director Yang Hyun Suk was no exception.

And so Director Yang Hyun Suk quickly accepted Jungkook's terms.

Lisa was impressed by Jungkook. She said, "I have always found Director Yang Hyun Suk hard to deal with. Why is he like putty before you?"

Jungkook merely smiled in response. He returned Lisa's phone to her and asked, "What shall we have for lunch?"

"What do you want to eat? I took a look at the canteen earlier and they had quite a lot of dishes today. I can buy you whatever you want to eat, or we can order in. The nurse left a menu just now."

Such a thoughtful girlfriend. Jungkook could not bear to see her running around tiring herself, so he said, "Let's order in."

The two of them ordered 4 dishes and a serving of soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. Jungkook could not hold his chopsticks in his left hand, so Lisa gave him a small plastic spoon. But the plastic spoon was small and soft, very inconvenient to use. He did not like it, so he threw it aside and then turned to Lisa with an open mouth. "Feed me."

Fine. The heavens and the earth are great, but a patient is of the greatest importance.

Lisa used her chopsticks to bring some food right up to his lips. A piece of mushroom, and then a chunk of beef, and then some fish... Jungkook did not even spare a glance to see what was at his lips; he ate whatever Lisa fed him. He kept staring at her, his gaze clinging to her like spider's silk, never once leaving her face.
