Chapter 43

"Ah? In a year, you'll be twenty seven years old........" His sentence somehow makes Lisa feels disoriented that she couldn't respond well. "No, why are you suddenly asking about my age?"

"I see that you keep on mentioning this matter."

".....Why?"

"I didn't hear it before," Jungkook laughs, "Now I could."

"What ah?"

"Your sentence's meaning, is," Jungkook says relaxingly and jokingly, "You also want to marry when you see Taehyung is married?"

Lisa: "........"

"You are still young, what are you thinking about?"

"......"

"Let Ge Ge count your age, don't you realize that you have not yet reached the legal age to marry?" Jungkook says, "Just one more year, so that our Lili could marry out. Don't rush it."

"......" Lisa controls herself and doesn't look at him anymore, "I am too lazy to talk to you."

"Also, in a year I will be twenty six years old, what do you mean 27 years old?" Jungkook says, "I'll not add that one year."

Lisa refutes, "This year you are twenty six years old, how could you be 25 years old?"

"I haven't had my birthday, so I'm still 25 years old." Jungkook holds his steering wheel to make a turn and just let the car gets inside Lisa's small area. "We are old so we are sensitive about our age. Could you understand?"

After several seconds of silence, Lisa feels something is weird. She starts to make a guess, "Recently are there a lot of people saying that you are old?"

Jungkook says lazily, "Except you, young lady, who else would say that I'm old?"

Lisa stops for a while and feels guilty, "I just said it a few times."

"Em, since the day I turned twenty years old, you started to say it." Jungkook says, "You make me feel that this lifetime I can never be young."

"......"

This time the car reaches Lisa's apartment building.

Lisa unfastens her seatbelt and pretends not to hear him out. "Then I'll go home now. Thank you Guk Ge. Tomorrow you also have an early flight, remember to rest early."

"Wait for a while."

Lisa turns her head over, "What is it?"

Jungkook loosens his tie and suddenly takes out a box from his pocket. He smiles, "For Lili, a birthday present."

".........."

Lisa blinks her eyes and takes it. "Thank you."

Lisa returns home and looks at the living room. Jiyong and Dara aren't home yet. She just directly goes to her bedroom and sits down on the carpet beside her bed. She then takes out the box that Jungkook gave to her.

It's a simple box.

She opens it up.

Inside there's a silver bracelet that has a style of a fox. The two ends is different. One end is the head and the other end is the tail. It is linked with a small diamonds.

There's also her initial LS.

Lisa wears it and watches it for a while.

Then she takes out her phone and opens up her browser. She searches, "The meaning behind the bracelet". Then she finds out that the meanings are all different. Lisa looks at it one by one.
