Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 44

Despite scoffing a million times in his heart, Jungkook maintain a lofty expression. He asked, "So....how exactly do you plan to repay me?"

"I'm going to grant you a wish, just like the dramas we usually see on TV. Anything is acceptable as long as it's something that I can do, not against the law, and not unethical".

"TV Drams usually granted three wishes".

"Are you haggling with me over this? Jungkook, you're becoming more and more shameless".

"I used to be respectable. Then, I met you...."

Lisa pointed at him, "I shall let you off since I'm in a good mood today".

"Three wishes".

"Fine, three wishes it shall be. Stop meandering like an old lady. Tell me, what do you want Mr. Bunny?"

What Jungkook wanted was not something that he could ask for at this stage. Hence, he requested to keep his wishes for now. After saying this, he hinted, "Saving money in the bank generates interest".

He was driving Lisa crazy. She raised her hands as if she was about to chop him up.

Jungkook grinned as he shrunk back. Though he moved to the side, the umbrella did not follow him along. Instead, it tilted in opposite direction and slanted to fully protect Lisa from the rain. Jungkook's own body was exposed to the rain as he pulled apart from her.

Seeing him get drenched, Lisa immediately lowered her hands and said, "I'll save this beating for later. Oh right there'll be interest".

At the same time, she thought, he is still quite the gentleman.

Sharing the same umbrella, they headed to the ice stadium. They walked over as the rain made it hard to cycle. The weather was quite cold. As Lisa only wore a thin layer when she went out, her finger were freezing even when she slipped her hands into her pockets. Thus, she hugged her elbows by sticking her left hand into her right sleeve and her right hand into left sleeve. With both palms pressing against her arms, she felt much warmer. It was just that this pose was a little strange like what a humble, old farmer would do.

"Fool". Jungkook suddenly spoke.

Lisa raged, "Jungkook, I knew it. You're really itching for a beating today, aren't you? I'll satisfy you right now".

Jungkook was not intimidated. He continued. "Why didn't you layer up before leaving your dorm?"

"Who knew it'll be so cold today?" Lisa grumbled.

The weather report only stated the temperature, not what she ought to be wearing.

Jungkook trust the umbrella back into her hands. In one smooth movement, he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her head.

"Lunatic!" Lisa yanked his jacket down.

Jungkook especially liked seeing her struggle like this. The image of her popping her head out from his clothes was truly something that he could watch over and over again.

He though he might really be a pervert.

"I don't need it". Lisa tried to return the jacket back to Jungkook.

Jungkook reached for the umbrella, this time wrapping his palm around the back of her hand as he did so. Their two hands firmly pressed together, he let her experience his warmth. Then, he said, "I don't need it even more".

Lisa went to the changing room after reaching the practice venue.

When Lisa opened the door, she could clearly hear several people chatting away. But when she walked in, all of them fell silent.
