Chapter 30

Afterward, the two lay on the sofa panting. Lisa was so tired she didn't want to move a finger.

She felt that she may have to extend her half-hour morning run just to keep up with Jungkook.

Looking at her from the side, Jungkook raised his hand and plucked a strand of her sweaty hair. "Tired?"

"Un...let's take a little break."

He smiled. "After a bit, you should go take a bath."

Lisa opened an eye and looked at him. "Finished already?"

The smile on Jungkook's face widened, and his dark eyes had a twinkle as he taunted: "Do you still have the strength to continue? You were begging for mercy just a minute ago. Now you want to do it again?"

"Er...I'll recover. Just give me a minute..."

Kissing her lips, Jungkook whispered: "We played all day, aren't you tired?"

During their trip to the amusement park, they played around and spent a lot of time lining up in queues. And Lisa had been wearing high-heeled shoes. After standing all afternoon, Jungkook figured that her legs must be hurting.

A weak Lisa exhaled and sat up from the couch. "Then I'll take a bath first. I feel sticky." She picked up her clothes from the ground and put them on. Looking back towards Jungkook, she said: "Go take a bath too." Lisa's home had another bathroom next to the guest room. "Alright."

She shuffled into her slippers and went into her room. She filled the bathtub with water and had a comfortable soak. When she finally came out, she saw Jungkook had already taken a shower and cleaned the living room and sofa.

Lisa's sofa was made of leather. Although its color made any stains obvious, being made of leather made it easy to clean up. She looked around and saw that Jungkook was standing on the balcony. She went into the kitchen to pick up two cans of beer, then went to the balcony.

Lisa gave him a beer, then with a 'snick' opened her own. Taking a warm bath had stimulated her body's blood flow, so drinking a cold beer was very refreshing.

Lisa let out a comfortable sigh. "It'd be better if we had barbecue."

Opening his own can, Jungkook lightly smiled. "You really don't worry about gaining weight, do you?"

Lisa didn't care one bit. "The amount of exercise we just did was so intense, we definitely lost a lot of calories."

Hearing this, his ears turned a little hot. After taking another sip of his cold beer, he felt better. Lisa then straightened. She turned and looked at him and asked: "Have you been hiding from me these past couple days?"

Jungkook didn't speak. His eyes remained trained at the distant sky. Lisa asked again: "Did Taehyung look for you?"

Jungkook's adam's apple moved as if he wanted to say something. The corner of his mouth lifted, and he raised his hand to rub Lisa's head. "It's nothing, I figured out things."

Lisa raised an eyebrow, curious. "What did you figure out?"

Jungkook only smiled in response.

Lisa fiddled with the beer can in her hands and asked: "Are you going to continue delivering takeout?"

"Un." He nodded. "I'm my only family's source of income. If I don't work, my family isn't going to survive."

Lisa thought for a moment, then said: "What are you going to do when you start graduate school? You're still going to continue delivering even then?"

He didn't have much free time now. It should be even harder when he starts school.

Lisa looked at Jungkook. His hair was softly fluttering against the night wind, and he was staring into the depths of the dark sky. She took another sip of her beer. "To be honest, I have money. My business is doing quite good now. It won't matter if you stop making deliveries."
