Confession

29

The room's heating was already on. Lisa took off her coat and turned around, only to see Jungkook standing at the door, staring at the double bed. Lisa didn't need to think much to figure out what was going on in the man's brain.

"You sleep here. After we have dinner, I'll go to Chaeyoung's room and sleep with her there." Lisa said out loud. She took her luggage from Jungkook and opened it to take out a thick shawl. She placed it on her shoulders, intending to wear it for dinner.

Jungkook was stunned and failed to answer. It was only when Lisa was about to walk out of the room that he acted.

"No!" Jungkook managed to let out, grabbing Lisa's hand.

"What 'no'?" Lisa was confused.

"Don't....don't go to Chaeyoung's room to sleep." If you do this, Bambam will find out that...Jungkook couldn't help but hold Lisa a little tighter.

"Then...what do you propose we do?" Lisa turned towards Jungkook and waited. It seems that ever since this morning, Jungkook had suddenly decided to be more proactive.

Truthfully, Jungkook could be quite eloquent when he wanted to. After all, when Jungkook graduated university as the representative, he was able to make a speech in front of everyone. At his company's various shareholder meetings, Jungkook was able to persuade the shareholders with his words. It was just that whenever he was talking to Lisa...he would somehow lose the ability to form words.

"We're husband and wife. Shouldn't we stay together?" This was the answer Jungkook managed to choke out after a long silence.

So we're required to share a room? If this was something Jungkook had said before that night of the charity ball, Lisa would've agreed. But now, Lisa, who was still sulking, wanted Jungkook to personally admit that the girl he had been secretly in love with was her.

"We can't?" Seeing that Lisa hadn't spoken, Jungkook thought that she was unwilling. His eyes gradually dimmed, and his heart shriveled. Sure enough, it seems that the tenderness he had felt with Lisa recently was just his own delusions?

Seeing the man's grief-stricken expression, Lisa angrily shook off the Jungkook's hand and stamped her feet. "You infuriate me!"

Jungkook's heart jumped.

"You're sleeping on the sofa." Lisa said this, then stomped off. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from knocking Jungkook on the head.

Sleeping on the sofa? Is that a yes? For some reason, Jungkook found this scene familiar. After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and found the message Eunwoo had sent him this morning. He carefully read through it again:

(Brother, let me tell you: As long as sister-in-law doesn't cry or say no, 80% of the time, she means yes. If she doesn't speak up, it's because she's too shy. She's probably waiting for you to take the initiative, ah. You must not withdraw!)

Jungkook raised his head, an incredulous smile on his face. "So Lisa was quiet, not because she was unhappy, but because she was shy?"

What an incredibly cute shy expression she has! (Maybe I was just a bit too tactless? Maybe I don't need to sleep on the sofa?)

Dinner was a simple affair. Everyone was also tired and jet-lagged, so after dinner, they all headed back into their rooms. Bambam looked at Lisa and Jungkook as they left together. Although he had already known the outcome, seeing them go into the same room still made him feel sad.

"Feel bad?" Chaeyoung, who was watching all this, asked aloud.

"No." Bambam restrained his expression.
