Chapter 4

On the day of the PUMPKIN concert, there were a couple of Weibo posts about it. The concert hadn't started yet, but it was already one of the most searched topics.

Lisa regularly checked the news on Weibo every day. Today, she saw her Weibo lit up with hundreds of thousands of notifications.

After checking them, she went to the next page and found that many people were saying that they were also going to the concert tonight. She tapped at the side of her phone and wondered if she should go to the concert with Taehyung tonight.

"Boss, it's eleven o' clock! Time to order lunch!" Eunha upstairs and pushed her workshop door open. Lisa glanced at her and said, "You're really active when it comes to eating."

"Of course, if you're not active when it comes to food, what do you expect to be active in?"

Lisa felt that her words were reasonable, so she opened the takeout app and said: "What do you want to eat?"

Eunha approached her and looked at the photos on her phone: "That, it looks like Wolong Kitchen launched a new dish, this barbecued rice looks good."

"Then barbecue rice it is."

"Alright, then what about you?"

"I..." Lisa thought about it then finally settled with the chicken leg set. "I like their chicken leg."

"...." Eunha looked at her for a while then decided to go down and write 'Unexpected loyalty from the Boss' into her black notebook later.

After ordering, Eunha said as she went back downstairs: "If that little take away boy comes to deliver today, I'll call you."

Lisa: "....."

She browsed through her Weibo for a little while until she felt that the delivery would come any minute now. Before Eunha could call her, Lisa decided that she would take the initiative and go downstairs first.

Jungkook was very punctual when it came to his deliveries, so when he entered Monster, Lisa was standing at the counter, chatting with Eunha.

She seems to prefer black. Today she was still wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes, but her black trench coat was replaced by a shorter black leather coat.

As he approached, he became nervous as usual: "Hello, I've come to deliver your order."

"Ah!" Eunha suddenly exclaimed.

Lisa: "..."
　　
Jungkook: "..."

"Thank you." Lisa calmly took the takeaway bag from Xiang him, then looked back at Eunha without any change of expression. Eunha awkwardly coughed twice then said to Jungkook: "Hey little brother, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" With Jungkook's so-called 'deep and melancholy eyes' turned towards her, Eunha felt that he could see into her soul.

"A-ahh...oh yes, I think you're a lot whiter than any other takeaway boy that delivered to us before. I just wanted to know what sunscreen you use?"

Jungkook was distracted as he replied: "I don't use sunscreen often. My sister gave me a bottle before, but I didn't pay attention to what the brand was."

Eunha raised an eyebrow and looked at him curiously: "You have a sister?"

"En. Everyone in my family has fairly white skin, so maybe it's just a genetic thing."

Eunha: "..."

Oh, yes, I see.

After a moment of silence, he habitually smiled and said, "Well, have a nice lunch."

After he left the shop, Eunha winked towards Lisa: "It's him, it's him. After talking to him, I found that even his voice was quite good, so gentle!"

Lisa took the takeaway bag to the lounge and replied: "I don't think he'll dare deliver food here anymore."

"How come!" Eunha was halfway into the lounge before turning around and running back towards the counter. She pulled out her small notebook from her backpack and under No. 0123 wrote: "Today, the little brother talked to me. His voice was very gentle. He also has a younger sister."

After she had written this, Eunha's pen ceased its movements, and she looked past the windows to the outside of the store.

Jungkook was turning his scooter on and was about to turn the throttle when a silver car arrived and parked near Lisa's shop. Eunha squirmed, stretching out her neck to look.

The silver car was undoubtedly very conspicuous, especially against the midday sunlight, making the entire car shine. Jungkook's eyes were drawn to the bright car as its door opened. A man came out.

Like Lisa, he was wearing a motorcycle leather jacket, along with dark sunglasses. After closing the car door, he took off his sunglasses and walked directly into Lisa's shop. As Jungkook watched him pass by, the other man looked back at him subconsciously.

Just now, the girl at the counter praised him, but this person was obviously whiter than him. But Jungkook could tell that this was makeup done deliberately. In addition to the unnaturally white foundation, he also painted some eyeliner which was even more evident due to his pale appearance. But because of his naturally heroic facial features, it didn't make him look soft or feminine. Instead, it revealed a different take to what was handsome and sexy.

As Taehyung passed, he turned his eyes away. A takeaway boy couldn't attract his attention for long.

Past the glass, Jungkook saw the man head inside and chat with Lisa. He looked very familiar with her. Jungkook turned back and drove the scooter out.

The moment Taehyung entered, Eunha was beside herself. Taehyung just nodded towards her, but she couldn't restrain her excitement. She quickly sifted through her notebook to Taehyung's page and began to write: "Kim Taehyung wore makeup today, so sexy!"

"Eunha, are you eating or not?" Lisa went out of the lounge to call for her but was surprised to see Taehyung. When she saw him, she couldn't help but sigh, "You look really...flirtatious today."

Taehyung smiled and took out his phone, tapping for a few seconds. He showed Lisa the screen and said, "I'm imitating Ray's usual look, how is it, good?"

Lisa compared Ray's picture on the phone with Taehyung's face in front of her, then nodded: "Not bad, but if Uncle Kim saw..."

"He'll be mad again?" Taehyung raised an eyebrow with indifference.

"Maybe he'll want to kill you even more." Lisa finished. She then turned and called out: "Eunha."

"Yes!" Eunha immediately answered, then looked up, just in time to see Jungkook's scooter leaving. Eunha's heart was moved, and she once again raised her pen to write: "My woman's intuition says that the little takeaway brother is interested in my boss; he's secretly peeked at Boss several times."

As she wrote this, Eunha remembered that Taehyung was just a few meters away from her. Takeaway Brother VS Socialite Brother, who would win and who would lose?

From her notes, it looked like Taehyung had the better odds, but she felt that this little takeaway brother wasn't simple. Eunha didn't dare boast that she had read countless people, but she had watched the people in her notebook for a while now. As the saying goes: 'Poetry and calligraphy are all in one's belly' The younger takeaway brother's temperament is like a scholar's, his IQ is probably high too. But then why is he doing deliveries?

'That takeaway boy has a story. I have the opportunity to learn this story. Besides, I even found out about the truth of this little brother's skin today: It wasn't sunscreen, but from his great genes. Smiley face.'

After writing this passage, she finally put away her pen and notebook, then rushed to eat her lunch.

Taehyung saw their lunchboxes and leaned over to Lisa: "You eat this every day?"

When she heard this, Eunha said: "You man not believe it, but Boss has been ordering this chicken set for how many days already."

Lisa turned a deaf ear as she continued to eat on her own. Taehyung shook his head and looked at Lisa in sympathy: "You're too miserable, ah. I'll take you out to dinner tonight."

Lisa mercilessly refused: "No time, I have to catch up with an order."

Taehyung immediately ruffled his hair and refuted: "I say, you're going to the concert with my tonight. You're not allowed to work!"

"I don't remember promising to do so?"

"That doesn't matter, I'm already here." Taehyung waved his hands. "Say, we're wearing pretty similar clothes today....couples attire?"

Taehyung looked at Lisa ambiguously. Eunha couldn't stand the sudden tension and escaped with her lunch in her arms. Meanwhile, Lisa was completely unaffected, merely giving him a look: "The concert is later tonight, what are you doing here so early?"

"I was afraid you'd back out." Taehyung replied righteously.

Lisa: "You're really idle."

"Yep, for this concert, I finished all my framework in advance."

Lisa: "..." It seems that this venerable person's business is thriving.

Taehyung really spent the entire afternoon in Lisa's shop, helping entertain a few guests. Many young girls who were hesitant to buy was coaxed into purchasing several things by Taehyung. However, he was very dissatisfied when the girls thought his makeup was a copy of Gu Xin. "Nowadays, people only know about Gu Xin. Gu Xin's makeup was also influenced by Ray, ah."

As the godfather of rock music, Ray and PUMPKIN laid the foundation for what would become today's rock music in the Mainland.

"Gu Xin is really handsome." Lisa lightly said.

Taehyung came up to her and looked at her in the eye: "You're praising other men when you have the handsome me in front of you?"

"Yes, so?"

"...."

Taehyung paused for a long while before finally putting on a smiling face: "It's 5:00 p.m., We should set off."

Lisa looked at the time, and it really was 5:00 p.m.: "I usually close at half-past six."

"If we leave then, we wouldn't be able to make it. Isn't Eunha here to look after the shop?" Taehyung couldn't help but drag Lisa.

"Wait, wait."

"What?"

"I want to put on some makeup."

He didn't know why, but Taehyung was suddenly in a good mood. He smiled at Lisa and said: "You can do it in the car."

Lisa was pulled out of the shop by him. When she saw the luxury car parked outside this entire afternoon, she asked: "Where did you get the car?"

Taehyung was the epitome of a rich second generation boy but had been at terrible odds with his father in recent years. Of course, his father wouldn't buy him a car. He usually used his black motorcycle for his day to day driving.

"I found a friend and borrowed it from him. It's a good car." Taehyung opened the passenger door and tilted his chin towards Lisa: "Get on."

Lisa thought for a moment and said: "What about my car?"

Taehyung: "Just leave it here, I'll pick you up for work tomorrow morning."

"In this car?" Lisa pointed at the flashy car that Taehyung had for today.

"In mine."

"Oh." Lisa laughed.

When she got into the car and was fastening her seat-belt, Lisa asked again: "Do you even have a driver's license for cars?"

Taehyung: "...." He silently took out his driver's license from his wallet and presented it to her with both hands.

"Alright, let's go." After checking his license, Lisa gave it back to him. Taehyung's driving turned out to be better than Lisa thought. She took out a mirror from her bag and painted her lips with lipstick.

It was a very warm red.
