Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 40

Lisa had just stepped out of the dormitory building when she spotted Yeonjun standing outside.

The sky was overcast today. Even though he looked quite good standing there quietly all by his lonesome self, he appeared a little forlorn.

Lisa called out, "Yeonjun, why are you here?" As she said this, she suddenly recalled the scandalous nonsense that she had just seen. She prayed that Yeonjun had not seen it.

When Yeonjun saw Lisa, he immediately turned and left.

Lisa quickly followed him. "What's wrong? What are you keeping silent?"

Yeonjun picked up his pace.

Lisa felt that he must had found out about that incident. In this time and age, gossip spread even faster than viruses could reproduce.

She hurried after him and tried to tease him into speaking. "Hmm, could it be that the pill Chaeyoung gave me is working? I've really became transparent?"

Yeonjun kept a stoic expression and refused to look at her.

Lisa kept reached out and grabbed his wrist. "Hey"

He finally stopped and turned to glance at her. His gaze travelled down and landed on her hands.

Yeonjun's mouth twitched. He stared blankly at the pair of fair and fine-looking hands on his wrist, feeling immensely upset all of a sudden.

"Doing this" He shook his wrist, his soft eyes slightly confrontational as he asked, "Aren't you afraid that Jungkook would see?"

"I knew you misunderstood" Lisa explained, "There's really nothing going on between Jungkook and me".

If she had said this previously, Yeonjun would have definitely believed her without hesitation. However, it was different now. Only heaven knew how his heart crumbled when he saw those ambiguous photos.

"Liar" He replied. His voice was a little aggrieved and accusatory.

"It's true, he just wanted to take a look at the scare on my head. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. Here" Lisa lowered her head and parted her bangs for him to see. She paused for a while before straightening back up. Yeonjun looked at her steadily, his eyes clearly showing his disbelief.

"Wait, I'll call Jungkook and get him to explain personally" Lisa took out her phone, dialled Jungkook's number and tapped on the "Speaker" icon.

When the call connected, the first thing that Jungkook said was "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Lisa was annoyed with how carefree he was. She scolded, "Jungkook, you still have the mood to eat? I've been ruined by you!"

"Mm?"

"Someone took photos of us earlier at the sports field. The rumors are really bad and the whole school is mistaken about us. It's all your fault for wanting to look at the scare of my head" The last sentence was the main point. Right after saying this, she sneaked a look at Yeonjun.

Yeonjun perked his ears as he waited for Jungkook's reply.

On the other side, Jungkook felt that something was off as he held his phone and processed what Lisa just said. It felt like her manner of speech was slightly different from how it was usually like when the two of them were alone. Her words were also a little measured and long-winded. Was he mistaken?

Jungkook did not affirm nor deny Lisa's words. He retorted, "You're the one who pounced on me first".

Yeonjun's face fell even further.

Lisa rushed to explain, "It's because you were being a jerk and provoked me. I was trying to beat you up".

"Huh" Jungkook gave a sudden laugh. Seeing how Lisa hurriedly explained matters, he was more or less certain that this brat had someone else beside her. Jungkook revealed. "Why not mention that time when you acted like a rogue towards me in the music room?"
