Confession

11

In the guest room on the second floor.

Lisa stood in the middle of the room, surrounded by presents. She was surprised at the number of gifts around her and said, "We received so many gifts."

Jungkook leaned against the door frame and looked at all the gift boxes in the room. He became surprised when he saw Lisa's smiling face, and tentatively asked: "Do you like them?"

"Of course I like them. Anyone would be happy to receive a gift." Lisa said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Jungkook's rigid face gradually softened.

These wedding gifts have been piled in this room for nearly a week. Jungkook had very few friends, so most of the presents were from Lisa's family and friends. But ever since they got married, Lisa hadn't asked about them once. He had figured that it was because Lisa felt bitter against their marriage, so these presents were also seen in an unfavorable light. Now that Lisa suddenly said that she liked these gifts, Jungkook had a thought that maybe she wasn't that bitter about their marriage.

"There aren't a lot of presents with cards. I guess we'll only find out who the sender is after opening them." Lisa picked up a few boxes and looked over them.

"Hmm." This time, Jungkook walked over and picked up a gift too.

"It looks like this is going to take a while." Lisa looked around and saw that even the desk and chairs were full of presents, and there was no place to sit. So, in the end, she sat on the carpet and leaned on the foot of the bed. She picked up a pink gift box and unwrapped it.

Lisa ripped the packaging, revealing a black jewelry box inside. She opened the box and took out the card inside. "It's a pair of diamond earrings from Amy. It's gorgeous."

Lisa turned the box, intending to show the newly received diamond earrings to Jungkook as she spoke. When she lifted her head, she found Jungkook squatting in front of her with a pillow in his hand, and was leaning towards her.

"It's beautiful." Jungkook noticed Lisa's body slightly retreat because of his close proximity, and his eyes darkened. He handed the pillow to Lisa and said: "The ground is cold."

"Ah? Oh." Lisa was surprised and took a while to react. She then put down the diamond earrings she was holding and accepted the pillow from Jungkook.

After Lisa took the pillow, Jungkook took a step back. He then sat on the ground like Lisa and helped her open the gifts.

Lisa put the pillow beneath her and thought that it was a lot more comfortable than sitting on the carpet. She looked at Jungkook, who was looking through a gift. Lisa happily said: "Thank you."

"This is a jade bracelet from Song Jaewon of Song Technology." Jungkook didn't say anything else, and just handed the gift he had opened to Lisa.

"Oh, that can be put up in a charity sale someday." Jungkook took the gift box.

"Okay." Jungkook nodded, his mindset being 'I don't have an opinion, whatever you decide is good.' He then picked up another gift to open.

Lisa secretly glanced at Jungkook and saw that he seemingly didn't react to what she had just said. Feeling somewhat disappointed, she bowed her head and concentrated on opening another gift.

Jungkook didn't care about the actual gifts but instead wanted to look at the cards. Honestly, the words written in the cards were pretty much the same. They were all blessings along the lines of 'may you live a long and happy life together,' or 'wishing you to have a child soon' and so on. But Jungkook liked these standard greetings very much. He patiently read every single one, each card touching his heart.
