6 years in an one-sided love didn't help him forget about his old friend.
He could accept his fate with the Manobans' youngest and try to move on, but he didn't think about it. Instead he pushed the girl away and forgot about her.
Some years passed...

"J-Jungkook, Achara, are you two here?"
Lisa walked out of the restaurant and went to the small park right next to them.
She looked around the park to see the two people she was searching for, but all she could see was darkness.
"Achara? Where are you baby?"
"Lisa, we are here"
Lisa looked behind and there she saw Jungkook and Achara, sitting on the swings and looking at her.
"what are you two doing here?"
Lisa went to the other swing on Achara's left side and swung slowly.
"I just had a talk with my princess" Jungkook honestly said and looked at her and Achara for a moment.
"yes, I wanted to talk with my handsome uncle"
It's been only a day since Achara met Jungkook and ever since then, she didn't stop talking about him.
Whenever she saw Taehyung or her grandparents, she would ask them to go to the Jeons again to see her handsome uncle— she didn't ask her mother, because she felt like Lisa wouldn't take her there, even if she begs her —.
Every time she mentioned Jungkook—more than hundred times in a day—in front of her grandpa, he would get annoyed and have a bad mood.
"Are you cold? You didn't wear your jacket"
After Jungkook noticed Lisa shivering and rubbing her hands together to get warmer, he stood up from his swing, took off his jacket and gentlemanly placed it on the younger lady's shoulders. Making her question herself if he really is the Jungkook from some years ago.
Lisa looked at him shockingly and didn't know how to talk anymore.
After a few seconds, when he already was back on his swing, she came back to herself and thanked him stutteringly.
"A-Ah, T-thank y-you J-Jungkook"
"Mommy, why are you so red?" Achara asked all out of a sudden. After hearing her, Jungkook chuckled with hesitation and Lisa coughed hard, making her cheeks even redder than red.
The lights were so low and when Achara noticed her redness, Lisa couldn't help but ask herself if she really is that red.
Lisa coughed a few more times and finally talked. "I-I...I-it's because the j-jacket is really thick and I s-suddenly feel really h-hot in it"
'the way you're lying to your own daughter, Lisa' Lisa thought in her mind and decided to change the topic to make it less awkward.
"Did you enjoy the party, Jungkook?"
It's been a long time since Lisa and Jungkook talked without being awkward with each other and now that they're talking, it made Lisa and Jungkook somehow happy.
Jungkook never noticed he likes Lisa's talks. She isn't boring like he thought she would be.
"yes, I did. I should thank aunt Jihyo and uncle Namjoon for inviting me. It's been a long time since I last went to a birthday party-"
They were so into talking, that they didn't notice the small girl slowly getting sleepy.
After Jungkook paused for a moment, he took out a medium-sized red velvet box from his suit's blazer and walked to Lisa again.
"This is my present for you. I hope you like it. I don't usually buy gifts so that's why I didn't know what to buy, but when I saw this necklace, I had to buy it because I really liked it and I felt like you'll li-"
Before letting Jungkook finish his words, Lisa opened the box and looked at the necklace he talked about.
'iI's really beautiful'
She took it out of the box and placed it around her neck to close it, but she was struggling with it.
Jungkook noticed her face expressions and saw how hard she was trying.
"Let me help you"
He walked to her back, gently, placed all of her hair on her left shoulder and touched her warm skin with his cold fingers to close the necklace for her.
'Not again Lisa. It's just a little bit of skinship and it means nothing. Yes, it means nothing- b-but his fingers are so s-soft-'
"Lisa, are you fine?"
Lisa opened her eyes to see Jungkook really close to her face, with worried expressions on his face.
"Ah, y-yes, yes I-I'm fine. Thanks for asking- uhm, I'll just take Achara to the restaurant again. I-I think it's late now, we should end the party here"
Jungkook looked at her dumbfounded and just nodded at every word. It's not like he could say anything.
Lisa and Jungkook walked into the restaurant again, with Achara in Jungkook's arms, sleeping.
Everyone, who doesn't know their relationship with each other, would say they're a married couple with a child, since they looked like that.
Jungkook's and Lisa's mother who were just next to each other, smiled at them and thought about the same thing. 'they look so good together'
"mom, Achara is sleeping, we have to go home"
"you should take my car then, I'll come with Tae and Jennie"
Lisa immediately shook her head. "No mom, Jungkook said he'll take us home"
After Lisa's mother nodded her head again and told her she'll thank everyone for coming to the party, Lisa took her own jacket and gave Jungkook his jacket back.
"happy birthday Lisa"
Before Lisa and Jungkook could walk out of the restaurant, they heard two people from behind.
Once they turned around, they saw two familiar faces, smiling and holding a bag and a bouquet of flowers in their hands.
"Jisoo and Rosé unnie?"
Lisa happily pulled both of them and hugged them together.
It's been more than a few years since she last hugged them like this.
"we missed you Lisa"
Both Jisoo and Rosé said together and pulled away from the hug.
"Me too unnies. I lost your numbers and that's why I didn't text or called you both" Lisa said with a sad voice and hugged them again, making the man beside them ask himself how they know each other.
"uhm...can I ask how you know each other?" finally Jungkook asked after seeing the three girls talking without giving him any attention.
"we met each other at our friend's birthday party first and then you told us she's your soon to be wife-" Jisoo hit Rosé with her elbow and laughed awkwardly.
'Not again Park Chaeyoung' Jisoo face palmed herself secretly and looked at Lisa and Jungkook.
"uhm...anyways, we just wanted to say happy birthday and give you your present. We'll take your number from aunt Jihyo to text and meet again"
Jisoo quickly saved both of them from Jungkook's eyes and handed Lisa the bouquet of flowers and the bag full of chocolates. Since they know Lisa loves chocolate very much, they decided to gift her .
Both Jisoo and Rosé ran to their car and drove to their houses as soon as possible.
