Master Jeon's Pampered Wife

He put in some effort to suppress his nearly uncontrollable thoughts. Soon, his eyes went back to its usual calmness when he looked at her face.

He adjusted her messy collar from her movements earlier while covering up the parts that made him feel like committing a crime. Lisa blushed slightly as she looked at where he was staring moments ago. Reflexively, she quickly adjusted her collar too.

"Right, I have something for you. I almost forgot!"

At this moment, Lisa suddenly remembered what Gyungmi had told her the night before.

"What is it?"

Lisa put her hand on her forehead and complained, "Look at me! I feel that my memory has been getting worse lately. Wait here!"

Her skinny figure passed him after saying those words. She went outside swiftly and left Jungkook standing in shock.

After a short while, her lean figure reappeared again with an odd item in her hand.

"Here's a safety charm Grandmother and Mother got for you. Since you're always going abroad, it's better that you have it on you," Lisa explained as she handed it to him. A safety charm was usually a yellow talisman sewn onto a red cloth, but to make it easier to bring around, she had put it on a silver pendant instead.

"You believe in these too?" Jungkook showed interest in the item she handed over as he asked.

"It's better than having nothing. You can even regard it as mental support. Don't waste their good intentions. They gave me one too."

She then grabbed his hand and stuffed the item into his hand. "They are very concerned about you. I can sense it from their conversation yesterday..."

"Have the three of you been talking about me all day yesterday?"

When he received the amulet, he went along with her motion and grabbed her cold hand, dragging her beside the large window and sitting on the chair nearby with Lisa standing beside him.

"Do you think you're the best actor who's won the Oscars and we'll talk about you all day long?" Lisa could not help but diss him a little. She looked downward at her hand on his knee. The ring on her finger was emitting a beautiful shine, and her vision turned slightly misty for a moment.

"It seems that your verbal attack level has gone up," he remarked ambiguously, smiling. Then, he continued after a brief pause, "What happened at Emperor last night? Aren't you telling me anything about it? Your friend was pretty angry for your sake. She's a really good friend."

Lisa's expression darkened when he mentioned this. The faces of Hanbin and Luna crossed her mind, and she was also reminded of the scene whereby Chaeyoung had stood up for her...

After a short moment of silence, she sighed, "Chaeng is always like that. Straightforward and very loyal. Thanks to her, I was never alone all these years. There were many times when she was always the first to stand up for me... I feel very lucky and happy to have a friend like her..."

She paused, her eyes staying focused on the bright shine on her ring finger as if she was chasing some old memories. After some time, she said, "Do you know? I daren't ask for too much in a friendship. In this world, there's no one else besides Chaeyoung that would go against everyone for me. Others might not know what I've gone through, but Chaeng understands. She's the kind of friend whereby even though we might not have spoken for a very long time, every time we meet each other again, we'd feel very close and I'd be very comfortable talking to her..."
