After only the two of them were left in the room, Lisa picked up the glass of juice in front of her and gulped it down in one go. Apparently, she was more nervous than she thought that she felt so thirsty. Perhaps there was a fire burning inside her body right now. It felt like she understood why people could commit murder.

In her heart, Lisa prayed and chanted various mantras at once.

May I not strangle this person's neck today. May I remain patient and restrained like I have been until this moment.

"Hurry up and explain."

"You heard earlier."

Jungkook didn't look panicked at all, instead his face looked happy.

Does this person actually realize what he's doing? He seems to be fully aware and clearly this is all his plan. Lisa, who couldn't stand Jungkook's uncaring and shameless attitude, furrowed her forehead and gave him a sharp look.

"Isn't this too much? Just now your family told us to get married."

"Don't worry. People like me won't marry a woman like you."

"Of course. People like me won't marry a man like you either. Never."

Jungkook turned his back on Lisa who didn't want to lose to him and smiled a little. He was always happy to see this woman's persistent and courageous attitude. And, 'people like me'? How ridiculous.

Jungkook feels ridiculous about what she just said and in his heart he applauds Lisa's equally ridiculous answer to him. Jungkook and Shin Hee seemed to have found a woman that suited Jungkook's taste back then. Except for one thing.

"You know, you didn't pass the number one requirement?"

"What do you mean?"

Ever since she set foot in this place, Lisa really felt like she entered another world. Even though this man was speaking Korean, Lisa had no idea what he was talking about.

"The first requirement of the woman I want is a woman who doesn't get angry. She must have forgotten that on purpose. She deliberately wants to give me a hard time."
[T/n: The 'she' he is referring to is Shin Hee.]

"Who?"

"Never mind. You don't need to know."

The man who looked happy for a moment and his eyes shone brightly suddenly returned to being cold and indifferent to Lisa...

"I don't want to know either. But I'm really curious about the current plan. Why exactly are you doing this to me?"

"If you hadn't shown up here today in the first place, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

"If you had explained this to me from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened."

Huh. That's true. I helped him and didn't ask for anything in return. This is the guy who just kissed Lisa and begged for her help. But now, he's acting like it was Lisa who started all this trouble. Moreover, now he's throwing all the responsibility for this whole incident on Lisa.

"That was a good opportunity for me. If it wasn't for you, they might have misunderstood me earlier."

The man nodded his head unconcernedly and admitted his own mistake. Insolent. How could I possibly feel pity and sympathy for a moment for someone like this, Lisa regretted.

"What misunderstanding?"

"They think I caused the cancellation of Shin Hee's wedding."

"I don't think it's a misunderstanding."
