Chapter 44

"......"

Lisa says, "Ah" and then she looks to other side, nodding slowly.

She lowers her head and tries to think about his words.

She thought that he had forgotten about this, or perhaps this had never mattered to him. Moreover, Lisa has never heard him mention about dating or having a girlfriend.

So who was it at the airport last time?

Lisa looks at him and couldn't help to ask, "Then what about last time?"

"Who?"

"The one," She doesn't know why should she mention something from long time ago contemplating whether it will sound weird. Lisa plays with her fingers and pretends to ask casually, "When I came to Busan when I was in Grade 10, you came over with that unnie."

"When you were a grade 10 student?"

"......" Lisa feels complicated for a while and tries to be more accurate. She wants him to remember, "The time I came over to find my internet boyfriend."

Jungkook remembers it, "My boss."

Lisa pursues her lips and continues to ask dully, "Then why did she come with you?"

"That time I still couldn't drive," Jungkook doesn't really remember what happened three years ago. "Moreover that day I seemed to work overtime. I felt a bit unwell."

"....."

"When your Ge called me, that time she heard it too. She said that she would take me there." Jungkook looks at her and adds unconsciously, "Even her children has entered elementary school."

Lisa's mood is empty, she suddenly remembers the day she felt everything was hard to bear. She remembers that she put all the memories inside a box and locked it.

She remembers her intention to drift apart from him.

Thinking about that.

Thinking about how one-sided love started and ended.

Lisa nods in silent. She asks, "Then why are you not looking for a girlfriend?"

Jungkook speaks up, "Your Ge also don't look for someone right?"

"......" Lisa remembers what her roommates' words, her face looks complicated, "You also couldn't keep on waiting for my Ge ah......"

Jungkook says, "What are you saying?"

Lisa says, "I feel it is weird."

"After I graduated, I had no time." Jungkook casually, "These two years, my boss has introduced me to several women, but I don't think it's fitting for me."

Lisa says, "Oh." And asks nothing more.

The planes takes off and the air stewards start to distribute the blanket.

Lisa asks for one and covers her self till her head. She pretends to be a sleep. She leans on the wall. She closes, opens, and closes her eyes.

She is thinking about something.

After a while.

Lisa lowers her head.

She feels that somehow her scar has been filled with honey. She pursues her lips and smiles under the blanket.

It's soundless.

The plan lands at Busan City.

Before getting off the plane, Lisa hears that man called Taeyong, asking for Jungkook's contact number.

Lisa and Jungkook find a place to have lunch then Jungkook sends Lisa back home.
