Chapter 20

HAPPY READING















He felt like ice cold water had been poured on his head. No, it was a much clammier feeling, as though his body had been bound and the inside and outside of his body was filled in rancid filth.

'I feel dirty.'

Apart from those words, there was no other words to describe it. It was not just simple annoyance but the really annoying discomfort you feel when you pull your feet out after stepping in mud and there is mud all the way to your ankle.

No, it was a bit different from that. It was akin to thinking he had caught the enemy off-guard but ended up meeting them as they already knew beforehand and were waiting for hime. No, not like that either. He earnestly and anxiously tried to capture what exactly the feeling he was going through was but he couldn't deduce an answer.

Her clear eyes were starting to at him with a little suspicion. He needed more time to think.

"Are flowers that good?"

"Rather than being happy about the flowers, I'm happier that you sent me a gift."

Her expression was bright and purely full of joy. It seemed as though she had accepted the meaning of the present as simply a present but he didn't dare to openly ask. Then she would know that the present was not something he had sent and because she knew it as simply a present, she would be disappointed.

"I'm glad you liked it."

He hid his restless mind and on the surface, responded very calmly but inwardly he harbored a minor grudge with Jisung. Out of all the possible presents, why did it have to be rose flowers?

Although they were many other kind of flowers there, all Jungkook could see were the rose flowers. Jungkook lowered his body and easily took her up in his arms. Lisa let out a scream due to his sudden actions.

He sat on the table, placed her on his laps, wrapped his two arms around her firmly and propped his chin on her shoulder.

"Your Grace...?"

"Just wait a moment."

After she'd struggled a little and then gave up, he started to think. Feeling the temperature of the small body in arms gradually getting warmer, he calmly explored his memory.

'Yellow. Right. It was a yellow rose.'

At first, just seeing the red flowers he was flustered and surprised but after the moment of surprise passed, he began to think rationally. No matter how much he looked, there was no sight of anything yellow. There was no sight of the yellow rose that he'd sent to women to signify their parting. He instantly felt relieved.

Initially, he had no idea that those women would be receiving yellow roses. He had simply ordered Jisung to handle the matter adequately by himself but he never inquired about how it was handled. But then, one day, a woman who had received a yellow rose came to find him and threw a bunch of yellow roses at him. Even though they had only met up a few times, she was a woman he'd thought to have had quite the personality.

After that incident, Jungkook got to know that there was a flower known as the yellow rose. To him, once it was colorful, they were all the same flowers, but the yellow rose was one flower he was aware of. He never asked Jisung why amongst all flowers he sent yellow roses but it seemed meaningful so he asked Jisung to keep doing what he was doing.

'Does she know it is supposed to be a yellow rose?'

No matter how much he thought about it and sorted through the conversation they had while signing the contract...
