Confession

37

Lisa stayed in the attic all afternoon. After Mrs. Miso finished cleaning the house, she took Chu Wu out for a bath. It was only when she finished making dinner that Lisa came down from the attic.

When Mrs. Miso saw Lisa come down the stairs, she noticed that her expression didn't seem right. But when Mrs. Miso opened her mouth, she wasn't able to ask her what was wrong.

"Bark!" Chu Wu, who was full of grievance, ran towards his mother. He felt wronged because his mother hadn't played with him today.

Lisa crouched and rubbed Chu Wu's fluffy head. Eventually, her expression softened.

"Stupid." Lisa laughed as she scolded. She didn't know whether she was scolding a certain man that was very similar to Chu Wu, or the dog himself.

"Bark!" All Chu Wu understood was that his mother was patting his head. Loving the attention, he squinted his eyes and wagged his tail even harder.

Mrs. Miso felt relieved when she saw this scene. This household finally managed to be a regular, loving home, ah. She really hoped nothing would disrupt this harmony.

Mrs. Miso continued to prepare dinner, and Lisa took Chu Wu to sit on the sofa and read a book.

"Woof." Chu Wu laid quietly on the carpet. After a while, he suddenly raised his ears and barked.

"Hm?" Lisa lifted her gaze from the book, puzzled.

After seeing Chu Wu's posture, Lisa had a guess as to why he was suddenly alert. And sure enough, the sound of a car engine was heard outside.

Jungkook was back.

Lisa put down her book, wrapped her shawl tighter around her shoulders, then walked out the door.

Jungkook parked his car, opened his door, and was about to pat Chu Wu's head when he saw a slim figure from the corner of his eyes.

The hand that was about to pet Chu Wu immediately froze. With his other hand still on the car, he turned his head and looked at the beautiful Lisa standing at the front door.

"Welcome back." Lisa smiled and casually greeted.

"Yes!" The stupefied Jungkook could only reply with a single word. This was the first time Jungkook had ever felt so ecstatic over these two simple words. He was so happy that he couldn't help but giggle like an idiot.

"What are you laughing about, ah? Get in the house." Lisa was speechless.

"Hmm." Feeling like he was in a dream, Jungkook closed his car door and floated towards the house. He walked until he was right in front of Lisa, seemingly forgetting about the excitable dog running around his feet.

"What's the matter?" Lisa saw that Jungkook didn't enter the house and instead stood in front of her. She thought that Jungkook had something he wanted to say to her.

"I'm back," Lisa repeated softly with a grin.

"I know. Didn't I greet you just now?" Lisa was confused.

"Yes." Jungkook gave her an awkward smile. "I just wanted to say it again."

"Bark!" Seeing that he couldn't get his dad's attention, Chu Wu slotted himself between the two people, trying to force them to look at him.

Jungkook finally remembered Chu Wu's existence and kneaded the dog's head. "Chu Wu, let's go. Let's go in."

Lisa watched Jungkook walk in the house with Chu Wu in tow. She felt like today, Jungkook was being particularly foolish. The minute he came back from work, he started repeating his words like a crazy man.
