Without giving it too much thought, Lisa immediately returned to her seat, beginning to eat while pretending that nothing had happened.

Even when they had moved onto dessert, she focused on eating each scoop of ice cream at a time, not daring to raise her head…

Jungkook looked at her cowardly response; the corners of his mouth raised in a smile, his gaze becoming incomparably warm.

When they got home and were getting ready for bed, Jungkook received a call after taking a shower.

"I have to go out for a moment, you should sleep first."

"What's wrong?" Feeling that it was something serious, Lisa asked worriedly.

"My dad was hospitalized due to high blood pressure."

"Is it serious?"

"I don't know yet, so I'm going to go take a look. You should sleep first," Jungkook pulled on his coat and left.

Lisa had actually wanted to go with him, but then she remembered the relationship between his parents and her. Therefore, she had no choice but to swallow her words.

The weird thing was, now that Jungkook wasn't home, she couldn't fall asleep.

Maybe she had gotten used to him being there beside her when they slept, and now that she was suddenly alone, she was feeling a bit uncomfortable.

That's why, sometimes, a habit can become something scary.

It's fine not being able to get certain things in life. What's scarier is losing something you already have.

Lisa didn't get much sleep that night, and when she woke up in the morning, she found that Jungkook still hadn't returned.

She thought for a moment, then sent him a WeChat message, "How's your dad?"

"He's fine now. His blood pressure decreased and he went home already. I have an early meeting at the company so I had to leave. Remember to eat breakfast."

"Okay." After replying, Lisa washed up and left after drinking a glass of milk.

On the road, she unconsciously turned on the radio in the car and heard a piece of news.

"According to media outlets, yesterday, at the rooftop restaurant of the Pullman Hotel, the celebrity, Jang Yeeun, went on a date with the heir and president of the JC Corporation. Paparazzi have pictures from the scene, and rumor has it that Miss Yeeun is the celebrity face for a female shoe brand under JC, so everyone believes that she took advantage of this working opportunity to seduce the heir of JC. According to employees at the restaurant, the two enjoyed a sweet dinner. Has their relationship been exposed?"

Upon hearing this, Lisa laughed to herself. When did she become Jang Yeeun, the celebrity? Did they look similar?

Taking out her phone, she searched her up and found that they didn't look alike at all. She wondered how the media could've mixed them up.

But what Lisa didn't know was that last night, Jang Yeeun had actually gone to that restaurant; but instead of Jungkook, she went with her personal assistant. But the media loved to assume, and upon noticing Jungkook's car and the fact that Yeeun was JC's new spokesperson, they connected the two together.

Lisa didn't bother paying attention to these random pieces of news and drove to South Side Recuperation Center.

On the other hand, when Jungkook left the conference room at his company, he appeared to be exhausted.
