Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 56

Lisa was in a deep sleep. Ever since she resumed training, her sleep quality had been excellent.

She only woke when Jungkook woke her up to eat.

Lisa removed her eye-mask and saw an extravagant-looking lunchbox placed on the mini table in front of her. There was braised beef with potatoes, stir-fried shrimps and assorted vegetables.

She rubbed her stomach and found herself starving.

Jungkook passed her a vacuum packed package. When Lisa examined it, she saw that it was a braised pig trotter.

"Thanks". Lisa tore the packaging and took a bite. The taste was good and she luxuriated in the satisfying sensation of her empty stomach being filled with food. In a good mood, she saw that Jungkook also had a lunchbox in front of him but no pig trotter. She then asked, "Why aren't you eating too?"

"I ate earlier". Jungkook turned his head and avoided looking at her as he said this.

Lisa could only see at his attractive jawline and the slightly raised corners of his lips from the side.

She was baffled. What a lunatic. Was it necessary to show such a depraved smile at eating a pig trotter?

"Jungkook, you rarely indulge in good food, do you?" Lisa asked. She felt that this was highly possible. After all, all athletes especially outstanding ones had strict diet requirements.

"No". Jungkook denied.

Lisa was still immersed in her speculation. "When we get back, I'll treat you to all the good stuff beef tendons, pig ears, fried anchovies....duck necks, duck feet, duck tongues...." She familiarly rattled off a long list of food that she felt were delicacies.

Jungkook interrupted her, "Duck tongues?"

"Yup, you're never tried?"

"Tongue?"

"Yes, I'll treat you to it".

Jungkook lowered his head and separated the chopsticks. "Sure". His reply was unhurried and loaded with meaning.

Lisa could not shake off the feeling that there was something wrong with him.

However, it was rare for Jungkook to be normal in the first place. Being abnormal was his default mode. After thinking things through, she felt more at ease.

Their train was scheduled to arrive around 1 pm. Today, the person fetching Lisa was Jimin.

Principal Manoban's ex-classmate had fallen ill. He was out of the province to visit him and would only be back the next day. The hospital that Mama Manoban worked at was extremely busy. The end of the year was when children asthma outbreaks peaked. In addition, they would be many unruly children stirring trouble. From secretly settling off firecrackers to breaking windows and provoking stray dogs, there were way too many bizarre reasons for a child's injuries.

That was why only Jimin was there to welcome her.

Actually, there was no need for Jimin to come. However, he was bored out of his mind at home. Having nothing better to do, he was thus out to find his boss and have some fun.

Jungkook and Lisa were two extremely attractive people that stood out from the crowd. Jimin spotted them the moment they stepped out from the station.

"Boss, over here!" Jimin waved his hands at Lisa.

After the three of them gathered, Lisa was going to part ways with Jungkook. She asked, "How are you heading back?"

Jungkook swept his eyes over Jimin. His top-down angle and imposing aura caused Jimin a lot of pressure and made him feel both aggrieved and baffled.
