Chapter 19

At Jungkook's 'What?' Lisa raised a brow.

Lisa: What? Are you canceling?

Jungkook: No, no.

Jungkook: I just have to look at my schedule first.

Lisa: OK, let me know if it looks optimistic.

Jungkook: OK.

After Jungkook sent this, Lisa no longer responded. But he kept the chat open, not logging out just quite yet.

Staring at the brief chat they just had, he read it over and over again before finally touching the keyboard.

Jungkook: How are you feeling?

Lisa looked at her phone and smiled.

Lisa: Feeling great.

Jungkook: "....."

No, wait, did she just say she was feeling great?

Jungkook: I, I mean how is your body feeling?

Lisa: Oh...

Lisa: I feel alright, just a little tired. I'm planning on going to bed early.

Jungkook: Oh, then quickly go to sleep, I won't bother you anymore.

Lisa: Remember to check your schedule.

Jungkook: En, I'll tell you tomorrow morning.

"Hey, Jungkook! We meet again." Bambam parked his scooter next to him. Under the street light, he noticed something. "How come your face is so red, ah?"

Quickly putting his phone away, Jungkook packed up his food. "It's nothing."

"You don't look like it's nothing." Bambam gave him a playful look. "Did you get a girlfriend?"

"No, no." Jungkook headed for his scooter, planning to escape this conversation immediately. Bambam called out to him: "You're going already? But you haven't even eaten yet!"

"I just got another order, I'll eat later." After saying this, he rode away. Watching his retreating figure, Bambam thought of a particular phrase.

To flee in defeat.

Tut, tut, tut, young people these days. They fall in and out of love so quickly.

Bambam didn't go after him. Instead, he sat on the side of the road and hummed as he ate his food.

Jungkook rode to another street and parked and ate his food. He took out his phone and opened his chat log with Lisa again. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he opened his chat log with Somi.

She should be studying right now. Jungkook didn't want to disturb his sister while she was studying, but there was no one else he could ask.

He sent her the picture he took of the lipstick this morning and asked: "Do you know what brand this is?"

Somi was currently taking a break when she hears her phone vibrate. Taking a look, she was surprised to see that is was her brother. Jungkook rarely sent her WeChat messages when she was in school. What's more, she didn't expect him to ask her such a question.

Somi: That looks like the lipstick Big Sister used the last time I saw her!

Somi: I've checked it out before, that lipstick costs more than 600 yuan in China. Wu wu wu [crying]

(T/N: the text in [brackets] are emoticons or react photos I'm guessing. The raw is like this and not actual emoticons, so just imagine some emoticons.)

Sure enough, the lipstick Big Sister uses isn't something she could afford.

Jungkook: What brand is it?

Somi: Why? Do you want to buy it for her?

Jungkook:...

This lipstick was Lisa's favorite, but she used it to write him a message on her mirror. Jungkook didn't know if it could be used again. He really wanted to buy her another tube of the same brand and color.

Somi: Are you stupid, ah [crying while laughing], what would be the point of getting her the exact same lipstick that she already owns [crying while laughing]?"

Jungkook: Eh?

Somi: I know you clueless men don't understand such things! Buy her a different brand or color!

Jungkook: Why?

He didn't know what other kinds of lipsticks she would like. At least with this one, he knows for sure that she'll like it.

Somi: [picture]

Somi: This is BUNNY's new lipstick, Serenade 007. It's the same general style.

Somi: But this is suuuper hard to buy, the entire world ran out of stock [smile].

Jungkook:.....

Somi: I have to go, need to study now [smile].

Somi said she was going to study, so he had no other choice but to let her go. He studied the lipstick she had sent him, planning on going to the department store in Starlight Park to see if they had it there.
