Chapter 29

Jungkook changed clothes and told Somi he was going out. Somi asked: "Are you going on a date with Sister Lisa?"

"...." Jungkook wondered why Somi immediately thought he was going out on a date. Well, he really was going to go see Lisa.

"I just have a small errand. I'll be back soon."

"Ah, there's no need, no need. You can stay out all night. Really!"

Jungkook: "What kinds of thoughts are you having?"

"I'm going." Jungkook reached for the front door. But Somi chased after him and pulled him back to his room. "You're dressed too casually! Go change into something else."

He helplessly sighed. "I'm not going anywhere special."

"You're going to go see your girlfriend, how can you dress casually! And this is only your second date. Are all men like this? What pigs!"

Jungkook: "..."

Somi opened Jungkook's closet. Looking at its neat but sparse contents, she sighed. "Men's clothes are all hideous."

She sighed. Men's clothes don't look good at all, ah. The colors and styles are all so simple. Compared to women's clothes, they were just drab.

"Brother, I think you need to buy new clothes."

Jungkook: "Men's clothes are all hideous, you just said. Even if we buy new ones, it'll still be ugly."

Somi: "...."

At least they'd be new, ah!

"What about the black sweater you wore last time?"

Jungkook: "I put it in the wash. It's still wet."

"Ugh...then wear this white sweater." Somi took out a folded white sweater from the closet. She then sifted through his coats. "Do you only have black coats?"

He looked at the one she was looking at and corrected her: "That's not black, that's navy."

"They all look the same!"

Jungkook couldn't help but smile. "How come you girls don't say that when looking at lipsticks? Aren't the colors similar too?" He still remembered the color swatch test he did at the BUNNY counter.

"It's not the same." With a snort, she took out the navy hooded coat and threw it at him. "Just change."

Jungkook didn't want to delay anymore. So he drove Somi out and quickly changed into the clothes she picked out. Standing in front of the mirror, he straightened his collar. He saw his bedside drawer using his mirror.

The BUNNY lipstick was still inside. Should he give it to Lisa now?

He stared at the drawer for a very long time. When Somi began to knock impatiently at his door, he finally went over and grabbed the lipstick, putting it in his pocket.

Jungkook opened his door. Seeing his change of clothes, Somi was finally satisfied.

The siblings passed by mother Jeon's closed door. She was taking her afternoon nap. Seeing Jungkook's gaze, Somi told him: "I'll take care of mom, don't worry. I can cook dinner myself. So be rest assured, and don't come back tonight!"

Jungkook flicked Somi on her forehead. He put on his shoes, opened the front door, and left.

After Lisa finished messaging Jungkook, she looked up at the party from time to time. Taehyung, who was talking with some friends nearby, was watching her. One of Taehyung's friends asked with a raised brow: "Doesn't Lisa have a boyfriend now?"

Another friend laughed then took a sip of his wine. "Don't rub salt on our brother's wound."

Several people chuckled, but Taehyung didn't say anything. He just continued to look at Lisa as he drank. But as he was watching her, he also noticed a man——Jiang YueZhang.

Jiang YueZhang had just arrived. When he entered the banquet hall, he immediately walked towards Taehyung, his steps quick and urgent.

"Yah Taehyung, you actually drank my wine! Do you know how much that bottle cost?" Jiang YueZhang looked quite angry. He had spent so much time and effort into acquiring that bottle. It was so precious that he didn't want to just drink it willy-nilly. Jiang YueZhang had planned on finding a big beauty first, then drink the wine while flirting with her, eventually leading to many, many, indescribable things.

But instead of a beauty, the wine ended up in Taehyung's stomach!

Taehyung squinted at him, a small smile starting to form in his mouth. "I knew how much that bottle cost before I drank it, ah!"

"You!" If they weren't at a fancy party, Jiang YueZhang would've already punched him!

One of Taehyung's friends leaned over and said: "Brother Zhang, don't be angry. He's a lot more upset than you! After all, the woman he had been chasing for a long time got a boyfriend. A bitter tragedy of unrequited love finally ending after nine years."

This actually made Jiang YueZhang lose most of his anger. He even managed to squeeze out a sympathetic smile. "One bottle of wine for nine years worth of unrequited love, I guess it really is worth it, ah."

Taehyung pulled the corner of his mouth. Ah, he really had a great group of friends.

During their conversation, Jungkook had finally arrived. Lisa received a message from him, so she walked straight out. He was waiting outside the hotel. As soon as Lisa came out, he saw her.

Lisa's normal style was usually beautiful and cool, with mostly dark colors. But today, maybe because she had attended a party, she was wearing colors- something she rarely did. She was wearing a white top with V-neck decorated with high-end lace. She was also wearing a green retro skirt and had her hair specially coiled up. She looked like a very elegant 18th-century noble lady.

Jungkook froze. For a moment, he didn't know how to react. Meanwhile, Lisa had noticed him and walked up to him. Seeing that he hadn't said anything, She raised her hand and waved it in front of him. "What's wrong?"

At her words, Jungkook's heart managed to start beating again. He blinked and stiffly looked away from her, his cheeks becoming hot. "It's nothing, nothing. I just thought that you look different from your usual look."

Lisa looked down at her dress and asked: "Do I look good?"

"G-great. Very pretty."

Lisa smiled at his answer. "My mother chose this. I'm not really used to wearing something like this, but I guess it's good."

The smile on her face completely dazzled him. He felt that her smile was brighter than the midday sun. Jungkook hastily looked away again and asked: "Wearing such thin clothing, aren't you cold?"

It was November now. Lisa was wearing the least amount of clothes in the entire street.

She replied: "Now that I'm basking in the sun, I feel warm. I'm alright."

As she said this, Lisa raised her head. Using her hand to cover her eyes, she looked up at the sky. Today's weather was quite good. The sky was a clear blue, and the sun was peaking through her fingers, casting a light shadow over her face. She looked at Jungkook and smiled. "Let's go on a date."

Her proposal made his heart beat faster. He looked at the Lisa in front of him and inexplicable thought--

No matter what she asked of him, he would readily agree to it.

"I heard from Eunha that there's an amusement park doing a themed event today. Let's go and check it out?" Lisa leaned closer to Jungkook, her bright red lips curving into a beautiful arc. Then, as if she was trapping prey, she reeled him in. "Our last date got canceled, so today is our official first date."

Jungkook subconsciously nodded his head, his heart beating faster and faster. "Alright."

"I drove here, so just wait while I get my car."

Lisa went to the parking lot, then drove her car over. She honked at the still Jungkook, prompting him to get into the passenger side. She waited for him to buckle his seatbelt before driving away.

This was the first time he sat in Lisa's car. She didn't drive fast, but stably instead. She commented that the amusement park wasn't in the city center. Following the GPS for about 50 minutes, they finally saw the gate of the amusement park on the horizon.

Because today was a Saturday, the amusement park had a lot of events to draw in the crowds, causing the park to be quite colorful. Lisa looked around at the filled parking lot and began to worry about whether they can even find a parking space.
