When she got home, Lisa realized that something was wrong. Jungkook who parked his car and came down with her also immediately realized it. The gate was wide open and Duldul looked scared. Jungkook immediately grabbed the arm of Lisa who rushed into the house in a panic and immediately pulled her behind his back. After that, he opened the front door carefully.

"Oh my."

From behind Jungkook's back, Lisa exclaimed softly looking into her house which was in an incredible mess. The inside of her house really looked like a post-war condition. Wait, where are her younger siblings?

"Sung Won! Hee Won! So Hee!"

Just as Lisa was shouting for her siblings, she heard her siblings' voices from the entrance. Hee Won, who rushed in to hear her sister's panicked voice, immediately looked shocked at the chaotic condition of their house.

"What's going on?"

"Noona, it looks like a thief broke into our house."

It's a good thing Hee Won took her siblings out earlier and only came back now for dinner. Thank God. Lisa was really thankful that her younger siblings weren't hurt, but was it true that the house was burglarized?

Even though this area is in the suburbs, in the 20 years she's lived here, this house has never had a burglar. Lisa didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if her younger siblings had been home.

Suddenly her knees felt weak. Lisa who shuddered in horror staggered and Jungkook immediately held her arm tightly.

"It's okay. The important thing is that no one gets hurt. After all, there are no valuables either."

How subtle this man's words were. Maybe the man really meant to comfort her, but Lisa who heard it suddenly felt angry. The problem wasn't whether or not there were any valuables that could be taken, but the fact that someone had broken into this house was truly terrifying. Does this person actually realize that? Wait... Lisa suddenly remembered something and immediately looked at Jungkook suspiciously.

"This is all your doing, right?"

"Why would I do things like this?"

"That time you said that to your grandparents, that it's dangerous now because there are often thieves."

Jungkook furrowed his brows in surprise at the woman's accusation, but Lisa still looked serious. She still remembers Jungkook's reason for living in this house. She also remembers the conversation that day. Jungkook really looked like a caring lover in front of his family.

"That's just an excuse. After all, there's nothing to steal, and even if I did it, it would be much crazier than this."

Jungkook muttered while staring at the chaotic room in the house.

"Try checking whether there are missing items or not. So, if the police come, we can explain in detail later."

"Nothing seems to be missing from our room. Even though everything has been messed up."

Hee Won suddenly emerged from her room with So Hee and reported to Lisa.

"My toys are still there, Ajusshi's laptop is safe too."

"Family rule book?"

"No one will take that book. How could the thief leave the laptop alone and take a book like that instead?"

Jungkook shook his head as he walked after Lisa who ran frantically to her room. He then looked around the house with a suspicious look.

The clothes in the closet were scattered on the floor. So were the books on the bookshelf. Even the paintings and photos hanging on the wall were taken down so easily that the glass of Hee Won's childhood photo was cracked. However, nothing was missing.
