Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 9 - Things That Woman Doesn't Know

It's been 10 days since Jungkook returned to his own home. From the beginning, Lisa had known that he was cold-hearted, but it turned out that he was also really someone who didn't care about people's feelings at all.

How could he just leave without saying goodbye, even though they had been living together for over a month. That's right, he really can't stand being in this ugly house.

Maybe he had also contacted that woman again.

Lisa sat on a chair in the garden in the shadow of the zelkova tree and silently poured out all her complaints to Jungkook. That day the sun shone brightly in Hwaniwon and the fragrance of wildflowers wafted strongly.

She looked at the bunch of celandine flowers under the chair and regretted that she should have colored the man's nails with water henna instead of this flower. So, every time the man looks at his nails, maybe he'll remember Lisa and call her again.

"Lisa ssi?"

"Ah, yes, Sonsaengnim."

Feeling a hand touch her shoulder, Lisa gasped in surprise and stood up from her seat.

Lisa immediately bowed in greeting to the man in front of her, just like a court lady who immediately ran at the sound of the prince's voice calling her. She had repeatedly reminded herself not to behave like this, it's called 'court lady's disease', but somehow she still didn't dare to look Jae Hyun directly in the eyes.

"I knew you were here. But, didn't you promise not to call me 'sonsaengnim' anymore? Just call me Jae Hyun ssi."

"Okay. It's just that I'm not used to it yet..."

"You'll get used to it eventually. No matter what it is, if you keep doing it, you'll get used to it. Even lies are like that. If you keep doing it, one day it will come true."

"Not really. Lies are lies, reality is reality."

After saying that, Lisa realized. Even though Jae Hyun was just joking with his words, Lisa took it very seriously. She really doesn't have a sense of humor.

Lisa was so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear from that place immediately, but it turned out that Jae Hyun also took her words seriously.

"That's right. Reality is reality. But, Jeon Jae Hyun is really my name, you know."

"Ah, okay."

"Try calling my name. Jae Hyun ssi."

"Yes? Ah, yes. Jae... Hyun ssi."

Even so, it wasn't easy for Lisa to call him Jae Hyun ssi. Is it okay for an ordinary person like her to call her prince by that name?

Lisa's face turned red and she stammered. Meanwhile, Jae Hyun nodded his head with satisfaction.

"Professor Park was looking for you this morning, but it seems like you were busy earlier?"

"Professor? Did he say my graft was wrong? Oh yeah, I forgot to pull out the millet in the field!"

Lisa, who had been busy thinking about Jungkook to the point of forgetting her chores, began to remember one by one the work she had to do. Meanwhile, Jae Hyun laughed softly and shook his hand declaring that the woman's guess was wrong.

"No, that's not it. The professor gave you an award because even this semester you were very diligent in helping out in the greenhouse."

"Award?"

Jae Hyun then handed Lisa a green invitation with beautiful red roses embroidered on it.

"This is an invitation to a flower festival organized by the French Embassy. You can drink free wine and see various flowers too, want to come?"
