Love Me If You Dare

Chapter 55

A cool night.

After shower, Lisa is ready for bed.  It’s been two long days without a proper sleep for her.  She stands outside Jungkook’s bedroom door and says to him : ”I am going to bed now.  Call me if you need my help. Goodnight.”

Jungkook is lying on his bed, watching a documentary on TV.  He turns to look at her and asks : “Where are you sleeping tonight?”

Lisa blushes, then answers : “My room, of course.”

Jungkook picks up the remote and presses the pause button.  He look at her and says : “As I recall, before the case, there is probably not a part of your body I haven't kissed or touched for at least three times.  And as for the important parts…. let me think…” His raises his brows : “…eight times.”

Lisa blushes : “Stop!  Why are you telling me this?”

This man… he counts how many times he kisses her?

Jungkook smiles : “Because of my love for you, and my understanding on how much human desires closeness and passion.  You have to admit that we have developed a very intimate relationship… physically.  So, we should sleep on the same bed.”

Lisa : “…….”

The most embarrassing in the world would be to hear Jungkook talk about sex. He is so blunt and straight forward, with no consideration for how it will make her feel.

Lisa : “I might move around in my sleep and accidentally touch your wound.  The priority right now is to make sure you have a speedily recovery.  So we need to sleep in separate rooms.” 

They are still looking into each others eyes.

Jungkook : “That’s nonsense.  The last time I held you in my arm, you didn’t move at all.”

Lisa : “Well, just in case.  We can’t risk it.  Good night.”

Jungkook keeps quiet this time.  

Lisa says before she leaves : “…. if there’s nothing else you need me to do, I’ll go now.  Goodnight.”

After a couple of steps into the corridor.  She can hear his voice : “Are you not even going to give me a good night kiss?”  He says in a dissatisfied and pompous tone.

Lisa laughs and turns back to him.  

In the soft light, he looks good in his black pyjamas.  She bends down : “Close your eyes.”

He looks at her and closes his eye lids.

When her lips are about to touch his, she notices the corners of his lips curl up to a little smile.  

Lisa feels warm and fuzzy in the heart.  

Jungkook.  I am happy. Because you are happy.

She pecked his lips for a long time before leaving.

The next morning.

A bright sunny day.  The whole of S city is enjoying the warmth the sun brings on this lovely autumn day. Jimin parks his Lexus in the apartment carpark.  He walks over to open the door for Jisoo : “We are here.”

Jisoo is wearing a navy blue dress today, with a white scarf, and a pair of heels.  She looks concerned : “Did you get a helper?  Who is looking after him?”

Jimin holds on to her hand to help her balance as she gets out of the car : “That’s alright.  Lisa is there.  They are living together.”

He notices Jisoo looks a little strange when she heard that.
