Jungkook got up and strode in front of her. Today, his physique, which was twice as large as hers, caught her eye. He was a respectable man, to the point where she wondered why she hadn't noticed it before.
"I love you."
Jungkook conveyed his heart to her with a face that was still crying, and took Lisa tightly into his arms. As he felt her small body fit snugly in his arms, the anxiety that had tormented him all along finally subsided.
"Jungkook, I...... I do not know."
Lisa couldn't resist him. The fine muscles that could be felt through the thin clothes and the suffocating body scent of a man.
Jungkook, who grabbed her by the waist without any gaps in his arms, pulled her even tighter with determination that he would never let Lisa go.
"After graduating, I will take over the family according to my father's wishes."
"What? But you......!"
"In the beginning, you were the one who got me started on holding the sword. Even if I don't become a knight, now I'm a person who can at least protect you. And being the head of the household will protect you and allow you to be happy by my side. Rather than being kicked out by my father and becoming an inconsistent knight."
The two said nothing. Lisa couldn't say anything. Jungkook lowered his head and kissed the cheek of the woman he loved, who was in his arms.
"I'm sorry for ruining our relationship. But when I heard that you were engaged to another man, I couldn't stay still."
Jungkook's voice, which had barely calmed down, trembled slightly again.
"It's not about starting something right away. If it's okay with you, even now......."
"Jungkook."
"Lisa, won't you give me one chance?"
As she listened to his trembling voice, she could only feel Jungkook, who had always felt strong, to be soft. Lisa tried to calm her shaking heart as she listened to his sincere confession.
"By the time you reach your coming-of-age ceremony, I will be the head of the family, and I will become a better man than I am now. Lisa, then maybe you......."
"Jungkook."
No. Don't say goodbye to me.
His words, which were blurry at the end of his rambling speech, were tightly closed by her clear voice. Jungkook felt as if her friendly voice calling his name in a low voice would say goodbye to him. An image of Rachel came to his mind like an afterimage, the image of Lisa whom he had created in his fantasy dream. Warm love in her beautiful eyes like the moon that was shining softly.
He should have looked into her eyes more. He should have made eye contact with her a smiles together.
"Thank you, Jungkook."
Contrary to his fearful heart, her kind words stopped his breath.
"Actually, I am still very flustered. Because I never dreamed that you would think of me like that. But isn't it strange? As far as I'm concerned, I'm sure I should say no to you.... I don't hate it."
Her heart was not yet calm due to his confession. And when he gave up the path of a knight and chose her, she couldn't think of any words. What made her feel even more strange was that she didn't hate Jungkook's confession at all.
"Lisa?"
Was he hearing hallucinations? At Lisa's words that sounded like a dream, Jungkook looked at her with her eyes full of color and anticipation.
"Actually...... I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was preparing for the engagement. Like I was forcing myself to do something I didn't like. Like...... I was choosing the wrong path."
Lisa continued to speak as the thoughts came to mind. She spoke as if she had been waiting to bind with him, but she could not yet conclude exactly what she felt for Jungkook. But that was enough for him.
"Can I kiss you?"
"What?"
She was startled by the question that felt out of place, but the blue eyes that looked only at Lisa's lips felt like a white tiger in the snow. Lisa's heart felt an unfamiliar pounding at the new side of Jungkook she had seen for the first time, and she slowly closed her eyes. She wanted to believe in Jungkook's sincere feelings towards her.
As soon as her permission fell, he swallowed her lips as if he had been waiting. As if his previous kiss had been a joke, the intensely entangled hot tongue full of lust seemed determined to melt Lisa's mouth.
"Ah......."
"...... Ha."
Although it was a bit too much, Lisa didn't hate kissing Jungkook. She honestly liked the husky voice she heard every time he took a breath, and the naughty hand that clasped her around her waist. But if she kept kissing him longer than this, she felt like she was going to die of shortness of breath. Lisa barely pulled herself away from Jungkook and took a breath. Although this kiss was the first for the both of them, why was she the only one who was out of breath?
"I'll formally ask for your engagement as soon as I finish talking with you."
"Jungkook, I never said I was going to get engaged with you?"
Jungkook looked like the world was falling apart at Lisa's harsh words, and looked like he was about to cry. Fortunately, after hearing Lisa's laughter, he realized that it was all a prank. He sighed deeply and hugged the naughty Lisa tightly.
"Please...... Lisa. Don't play with me like that unless you want to kill me."
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"I'll give you a ring that best suits you. Maybe I'll have to go through all the jewelers in the capital. I don't know if I'll ever find anything as beautiful as you."
"Ugh, I didn't expect you to be such a cheesy man."
In response to Lisa's disgusted response, Jungkook responded with a small smile and kissed her naturally as if to promise each other again.
Although he was in a completely different situation from what was first intended, Jungkook was able to find out his true desire, which he did not know, because it was hidden. The two were still together. He didn't need any wishes for a future. Because he already found the most precious thing in the world. Lisa was Jungkook's happiness, joy, and love that no one could replace.
