Slowly Falling | LK Adaptation

Chapter 55

After Jungkook fell asleep, Lisa walked out of the room.

On the corridor, Taehyung's mother was still apologizing to mother Jeon. After Lisa came out, mother Jeon went to her and asked: "How is he?"

Lisa replied: "He's asleep now, Auntie Jeon. I'll stay in the hospital and keep watch, you should go back first."

Taehyung, who had been standing off to the side silent all this time, also spoke up. "Mom, you should also go back. I'll stay here."

Mother Kim's mother looked at him, then turned to mother Jeon. "Why don't we go back first and let the youngsters keep vigil."

Mother Jeon thought for a while. Feeling that Jungkook was safe and not in any danger, she nodded and said: "Alright."

Taehyung's mother was relieved. She helped mother Jeon and asked: "Where do you live? I'll drive you back."

The two mothers slowly walked away. Lisa leaned against the corridor wall and looked at Taehyung. She noticed that the corner of his mouth was blue and purple. He smiled and said: "If you want to shout or hit me, I promise not to fight back."

Lisa stared at him for a while, then turned her head to look at Jungkook's door.

"When we were in high school, you beat up some kids so bad that they ended up in the hospital. At the time, your mother also acted like that. She went to the hospital and apologized to the parents."

Taehyung pursed his lips and didn't answer.

"You're mom's getting older, but she's still doing the same thing."

The corridor was already quiet, but after Lisa said this, their surroundings became even more pressingly quiet.

"You know what happened to Jungkook's family. When his father passed away, Auntie Jeon ended up in a shock. If something happened to Jungkook today, what do you think would've happened to her? This time he was lucky, but did you ever think what would've happened if that knife stabbed him just a few centimeters deeper?"

Taehyung took a deep breath and looked towards the end of the corridor. "This time was my fault." The stark truth was, he dragged Jungkook into this mess. The knife had also been intended for him.

Lisa straightened and walked towards Jungkook's room. Before she walked through the door, she stopped and said: "Taehyung, don't make your mother worry anymore. You think that just because you're hurt often, that she no longer worries for you?"

When the door closed, he felt like something heavy was weighing his heart and became flustered. He wanted to go out and smoke a cigarette.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Jennie standing on the other end of the corridor, looking at him.

He didn't say anything to her and simply walked towards the elevator. Jennie looked at him and smiled. "Was that Lisa?"

Taehyung paused. "How do you know about her?"

Jennie replied: "Zhu Bing made such a big fuss about you and your girl a while back. I'm afraid that the entire QingNan street knows about Miss Lalisa."

Taehyung was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.

Jennie curiously asked: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." He walked past her and pressed the elevator button. "I just suddenly feel like my past actions are quite laughable."

Lisa visited Jungkook in the hospital every day. Mother Jeon also stopped by the hospital every day to give him some soup, but Lisa was worried about her body, so she didn't let mother Jeon stay in the hospital for too long. Although Taehyung was also injured, he didn't need to stay in the hospital for observation and only needed to visit from time to time to change his wrappings.
