The Villain's Wife

16

Fussa City is located in the western part of Tokyo, Japan. It was a quiet place that got famous for having an American air force base. The city is also located near two famous mountains where a cable car transport system had been built.

"Absolutely not." Jennie shook her head. "I don't want to ride a bicycle," she firmly said when Lisa told her that they were going to ride a bicycle around the resort. As the resort was huge, guests usually rely on bicycles to travel around the area.

"Then you can ride on my bike." Lisa smiled, patting the passenger seat at the back of his dark blue bicycle. There was also a light white attached at the front part of the bicycle. Sharing a bike? Did this man get this idea from Korean dramas? Suddenly Jennie felt like they were the lead characters in their own Korean romance drama.

Even though Jennie was a little wary, she was also too lazy to ride a bicycle on her own. "Alright" Jennie nodded at Lisa's suggestion. Without a second to waste, Lisa quickly mounted on his bicycle and waited for Jennie to sit on the passenger seat. After making sure that she was seated comfortably, Lisa placed his right foot on the pedal and kicked off the ground with his left foot. Soon, they were moving along steadily. Despite this being the first time that Lisa had taken a passenger on his bicycle, he was doing great.

While Lisa was feeling a little giddy inside, Jennie was feeling a little conflicted. A while ago, she seemed to have lost control of her emotions and even snapped at someone, a person she had just met. She furrowed her brows in contemplation and unconsciously wrapped her arms around Lisa's waist. Her action was smooth and precise, as if she had done it many times before. Jennie who was too engrossed in her own thoughts didn't think too much about her actions. As the road was bumpy, she had instinctively held onto Lisa to ensure her safety.

Meanwhile, Lisa had a wide smile on his face. If Seulgi was to see his Boss right now, he would surely faint from shock. His heart was in chaos. He tried to calm his wildly beating heart chanting 'eyes on the road' over and over again in his head. Of course, this did not stop him from beaming still. This was the first time that Jennie actually touched him voluntarily. This should call for a celebration!

As they were riding along, Lisa kept the conversation going by telling Jennie all about the resort that they were staying in. From its landscape to the different plants and trees that were planted in this resort. He also brought Jennie to a butterfly and bird sanctuary that he had specially designed with Jennie in mind.

All throughout the ride, Jennie kept her arms around his waist and she honestly didn't really that there was anything to it. She rationalized that it was only natural for a rear passenger hold onto the driver.

"Alright, let's take a break." Lisa stopped the bicycle and waited for Jennie to get down from the bicycle first. At this point, they were already out of the resort and had been travelling towards the temple that Lisa used to frequent when he visited this place.

Jennie immediately got down from the bicycle and noticed a small shed at the side of the road. The shed had a grass roof and was furnished with a long bamboo bench underneath. Next to the shed was a big tree that provided some extra shade. She then watched as Lisa park the bicycle and gestured for them to go into the shed.

"This place is near Tokyo, but why does it have sheds like this?" she asked when she saw Lisa taking out some sandwiches and canned drinks. Now that she was near the shed, she noticed that it was overlooking a certain japanese style house.

"I had someone made this," Lisa said as he gestured for Jennie to sit beside him. She slowly sat down and opened one of the sandwiches. "Look." Jennie turned her head to look at where Lisa was pointing. To her surprise, she saw a group of kids playing just below them.
