We Got Married

55

Tonight's experiments went well. The initial estimates were accurately reached, and the next stage had a very long wait time, so Jungkook ended up leaving the lab early. This was quite rare.

Although there was still a slight chill in the spring night, the faint fragrance of flowers in the air lifted the mood. Jungkook looked down at his watch and saw that he had just enough time to pick up his wife from work.

It was quite early in the morning, so the streets were empty and the shops on either side of the road were closed. Jungkook happened upon a 24-hour convenience store on and went in to buy two hot drinks.

When Lisa stepped out of the radio station gate, her high-heels clacking, she saw Jungkook standing on the steps. He was smiling, wearing a long black trenchcoat and holding two cups.

Lisa's eyes brightened, and she ran over, saying: "How come you didn't tell me you were coming?"

"Don't run so fast while you're wearing heels!" Jungkook warned as he passed a warm cup to Lisa.

Lisa accepted the drink and pushed the blame back to him: "It's all because you suddenly appeared without telling me."

"Alright, I'm at fault!" Jungkook helplessly shook his head, willingly taking all the blame.

Lisa was satisfied as she took a sip of the drink. She realized it was a cup of sweet orange juice. "Where did you find orange juice in this late hour?"

"I happened to pass by a random store." Jungkook saw Lisa happily drinking, so he also took a sip from his own cup. It really was good.

"Let's head home after we finish the drinks." Lisa proposed.

Jungkook naturally had no objections to this, so the two slowly walked along the road, green leaves swaying. Compared to the bleak and bare winter trees, this scene was a beautiful contrast.

"We always seem to...meet late at night." Lisa suddenly sighed and feeling a bit awkward, she said: "What does that sentence sound like we're having an affair?"

Jungkook was amused by Lisa's words but felt that what she said was true. Every day he would wake up and go to work while Lisa was asleep, then when he returned home, Lisa would have already left for the radio station. Meeting like this in the middle of the early morning would rarely happen, and even then, it would need prior scheduling.

"I really like this time of day." Jungkook said, "The whole city is sleeping soundly, so the place seems empty. Like we're the only two people in the world."

"You..." Lisa was stunned and felt like she had been caught off-guard. "Why are you suddenly a master of sweet talk? Who did you learn this from?"

"What I said can't be deliberately learned and can only come from the heart." Jungkook chuckled as he started to pet Lisa.

Lisa was flustered. She felt like an innocent maiden, her IQ falling to match a 16-year-old fanciful fool. Agitated, Lisa could only shout back: "You...don't spout such corny things, I can't stand it."

"Ha..." Jungkook felt that Lisa looked particularly cute at this moment. He couldn't help but continue to tease her: "Didn't you once say on your program that two people who love each other should express their feelings more often?"

"I..." Lisa felt that the Jungkook in front of her right now was a little strange. She was happy and a little embarrassed at his lovey-dovey words, but she was reluctant to let it continue.

"I found that ever since we came back from your village at the beginning of the year, you haven't had the time to tell me your feelings, so I thought I'd change and be more proactive. I..." Jungkook hadn't finished talking when Lisa unexpectedly went ahead and kissed him.
