Confession

35

Believing that he had figured out the underlying meaning of Lisa's words, Jungkook felt a huge sense of relief. With the sudden surge of happiness in his system, Jungkook couldn't help but replay the conversation again and again. The man was in a daze, giggling until a phone call interrupted his high.

When Jungkook answered the call, he heard Eunwoo's sonorous voice. "You're still in the company, right? Let's go out and have some drinks."

"No time. I'm going home." Jungkook immediately refused.

"Lisa isn't home, ah, why are you going back so early?" Eunwoo asked.

"How do you know that?" Jungkook asked.

"If Lisa's at home, how can you still be in the company?" Eunwoo warmly invited his friend: "Come out and have a drink! It won't take too much time."

Jungkook looked at his watch. Thinking that he hadn't seen Eunwoo for quite some time, Jungkook eventually agreed.

The two men went to a clean, high-end bar with a quiet environment. Knowing that Jungkook couldn't drink any spirits, Eunwoo ordered six bottles of beer instead. He opened two and handed Jungkook a bottle. "Here, you can drink this one. The rest are mine."

Although Jungkook's stomach is slightly sensitive, one bottle wouldn't do any harm. So Jungkook clinked his bottle to Eunwoo's and took a sip of his beer.

"I heard that you and your stepmother fought again today?" Eunwoo asked.

"I have nothing to do or say to that woman!" Jungkook corrected him with a cold voice.

"Ok, ok, I said it wrong." Eunwoo continued. "But I still want to remind you that this isn't the time to have a falling out, ah. The Jeon company is balanced on a very thin string. The slightest nudge might cause it to plummet."

"I know." If it wasn't for this, Jungkook wouldn't have bothered to warn the woman and simply kicked her out. At the thought of this, Jungkook became a little fidgety. As he was loosening his tie, a soft and warm body fell on the slope of his back and pressed on one of his shoulders. Immediately after, Jungkook felt wine splash on him.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I stumbled..." A beauty with flaming red lips hurriedly apologized. A pair of small white hands fluttered on top of Jungkook's wine-soaked chest.

"Get off." Jungkook shook off the woman's hands. Disregarding the woman's embarrassed expression, Jungkook got out of his seat and went to the bathroom without giving her a single glance.

"Beauty, that guy's already married. But hey, I'm still single." Eunwoo raised a brow.

It seems that the beauty was seen through in a second. Casually slipping off her 'embarrassed' look, the woman raised an eyebrow at Eunwoo. "That guy was wearing a tailor-made suit and came here in a Mercedes Benz. Meanwhile, you chose to drink the cheapest beer in the entire bar and is currently wearing a cowboy t-shirt worth several hundred yuan."

"Hey, I still drive a BMW, ah." Eunwoo took out his car keys.

"Hey, don't you know? Taobao sells 20." With a smirk, the beauty turned around and left.

"Dang..." Eunwoo, a man who had gone to countless bars, was suddenly educated.

At this time, a wet and uncomfortable Jungkook had come back from the bathroom. He picked up his coat and told Eunwoo he would be leaving first.
　　　
Fortunately, he only took one sip of the beer. Jungkook didn't need to call someone and drove home himself. On the way home, Jungkook thought very carefully and decided to take the initiative and talk to Lisa first. That last call they had made Jungkook realize that maybe, Lisa was actually waiting for him to approach her first.
