Love Me If You Dare

Chapter 44

Jungkook looks calmly at his friend whose face is red because of the gag.

It took a while for Jimin to calm down and manages to breath properly again. He says : “You finally discovered.”

Jungkook sweeps him a glance, his finger tapping on his trousers : “Sooner.. Later… Does it matter?”

Anyway, she belongs to him. 

Jimin looks at his proud friend…. He has always been a sore loser.  

But he is still very happy for the two of them.  After being in so many relationships himself, he knows that letting their relationship progress naturally is the best way forward.  Things like match making or forcing them to date would have been a waste of time. 

He lifts his glass : “Congratulations!”

Jungkook lifts up his and they clink their glass together.

“Thank you.”

Jimin asks : “How are you going to confess your love for her?

Jungkook : “I already have a plan.”

The autumn night is brisk and cool.  

When Jungkook gets back to the neighbourhood, it’s past 8:00pm.  He looks up to Lisa’s studio from the carpark.  There is no light coming from her window.  

He gives her a call.

Lisa is in Taehyung’s car.  The others have gone back to the hostel. Taehyung is driving her home.  

“What’s up?” Lisa smiles as she answers his call.  Taehyung is giving her a crafty smile.  

“When are you coming back?” Jungkook asks in his rich masculine voice. “I have something to tell you,”

Lisa looks at the road sign they are passing, and answer : ”Within the hour.”

When a woman spends a lot of time with a man with low EQ, she will subconsciously rub off from him.  So even though Jungkook said “I have something to tell you.”  in a gentle voice, it will be interpreted by Lisa as “I have some new thoughts on the case.” or “I am bored, come back so that I can talk to you.”

“Ok.” Jungkook smiles. “I will come around to your studio later.”  

 “But…” Taehyung is coming to my place too.  We have plans - Lisa didn’t get to finish her sentence. Jungkook has hung up.

Jungkook looks at the row of shops on the opposite side of the street. One of them is a flower shop. It is still open for business.

He walks over.  Actually, it has just past their business hours and the shop assistant is about to close the shop.  She is happy to see a handsome man walks in.  She has a big smile on her face : “Hi there.  How can I help you?  We have some flowers selling at half price.”

“I don’t need any discount.” He answers.  He is standing in the middle of the shop.  His eyes are scanning through all the beautiful flowers there.  

…. Mmmm.. He knows nothing about flowers and flower languages.

He asks the shop assistant to tell him the meaning of all the flowers.

The shop assistant is stunned.  But she is quick on her feet.  She chooses about ten of the popular types of flower (which happens to be the most expensive ones of course)  and explains to him what they represent.  

When she gets to the moth orchids, the handsome man in the suit stops her : “This one please.”

The shop assistant has a huge smile on her face : “A good choice!”
