"Okay. Who was it?"
"No idea. But it's a woman" Lisa struggled to smile at him. "She said she is coming back, and asked you to fetch her at the airport tomorrow"
Jungkook swiped his phone open and grinned when he saw the number on his log.
That grin was pricking to Lisa's eye. She felt as if her blood had gone cold, and her heart aching vaguely.
Huh, Men.
Then, as Jungkook hugged her and snuggled up for a kiss, Lisa promptly turned away and said very coldly, "I'm sleepy, off to bed"
With that, and while he looked on blankly, she slipped beneath the sheets and hide.
Jungkook's silence left her feeling even colder inside.
That woman must have a special relationship with him. Just look at how tender his grin was.
Huh. The ex had returned, so she is no longer important.
The more Lisa thought about it, the more upset and wronged she felt. She wanted nothing more to rush River Town, hide in a corner to bawl.
However, her rationality and dignity told her that it wouldn't do.
She must endure even if she didn't want to stay there. She must not let Jungkook get a clue.
She tossed around in considerable irritation.
Meanwhile, Jungkook simply sat beside her in bed, watching her and chuckled quietly, although there was a helpless tenderness in his eyes.
Pulling off the sheets, he lay down beside Lisa. Even as she kept her eyes closed and pretended to sleep, she could clearly feel a warm chest sticking on her back.
She tired to move away, but her whole body was abruptly pulled into his arms, with one hand worming around her neck and the other holding waist.
Flawless, tight, and snug!
Lisa could not sleep at all. Unable to bear it any longer, she shifted.
Jungkook snuggled up to her again in response.
That repeated several times until she was about to drop to the floor. Jungkook simply pressed her back into her arms then, and stroked her hair gently with one hand. "Good girl. Now sleep"
Sleep with your uncle!
She really wanted to blow out an expletive right then.
He had kept insisting he loved her to tenderly, and now he is not even offering an explanation when an ex calls him?
Wasn't he usually very afraid of making her angry?
Lisa felt if her heart was flipped upside-down, feeling so much grief that she could cry.
Truly, it would be better to believe pigs could fly than believing  this man!
She kept calm, while doing her best to tell herself to sleep.
Sleep....Sleep....Sleep....Sleep.
****
Jisoo's heart was threatening to jump out of her throat. She kept her head down for the rest of the journey, afraid to look up and afraid to speak.
There was no telling how long had passed. It was only when the bus's onboard alert for the final stop sounded that Jisoo promptly looked up. "Last stop?!"
Oh no! She missed her stop!
"Silly" Jin teased.
Jisoo could not hold back a retort. "Pot calling the kettle black. But I am still a little smarter"
She felt her shoulder being pressed right then and froze.
Jin's palm was so warm she felt she was burning up.
"Take me home" Jin said as if it only made sense. "I can't see"
"Is your short-sightedness that serious?"
"It's just that I'm used to having my glasses. I feel uncomfortable with blurry vision"
"Oh...."
And so, Jisoo walked ahead, with Jin holding her shoulder to keep up.
She suddenly felt like a guide dog.
.... Arf-arf.
After walking for a long time, Jisoo felt her shoulder go numb: Jin had paused, squinting at a nearby door number before telling her, "We're here"
His hand moved even as he spoke.
Jisoo breathed a sigh of relief. However, she was so startled she could have bite off her own tongue when she looked up.
It was a white, extravagantly decorated four-floored mansion covered by several towering old trees, looking especially obvious as it stood beside the path laden with limestone.
Jisoo gasped sharply and felt a pain in her cheeks. Even how she looked at Jisoo changed instantly.
On the bus, she actually told him that he did not look rich.
Turns out he lived in a mansion....
Moreover, the mansion on this side of River Town were all extremely expensive, not to mention the nice quiet area like this meant it would at least be worth millions.
Jisoo exclaimed in awe inwardly.
Jin was really full of surprises no one would have known that he is a most eligible bachelor!
