Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 64

Lisa was caught off guard by the sudden pounding of her heart. She blinked.

Then, she quickly pressed a hand against her forehead and lowered her head without saying a word. Using her chopsticks, she slowly picked up a piece of meat and started flipping it from one side to another like grilling a flatbread. She did not eat it.

Their eyes met for barely a second or two Jungkook did not discover anything wrong and instead found Lisa's sudden movements kind of strange. He asked "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remember that I have something else on. I'll be leaving first". As Lisa spoke, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, took her bag and left. Her steps were as swift as the wind.

"Hey". Jungkook watched her leaving figure and felt extremely puzzled.

Hearing his voice, Lisa walked even faster.

It was only until she walked out of the restaurant and felt the light, cool wind outside brush against her forehead that she felt like she had escaped from some amorous web.

"No, no, no, no, this can't be real". Lisa muttered to herself as she walked. "This must be an illusion! Even If I'm that thirsty, there's no way that I could have fallen for him?" As she said this, the earlier image of Jungkook surfaced her mind, looking absolutely delectable....

Ahhhh, No!!!!

After Lisa left, Jungkook lowered his head and stared at the grill in a daze. He was not certain if she was angry.

Though he could not think of any reason that might have caused her anger, she was a girl after all. Who knew for sure?

Jungkook sent a text to his roommate Eunwoo. Eunwoo was someone with insights on male and female relationships.

Jungkook: "What do girls usually get angry over?"

Eunwoo: "Short, ugly, poor, brief, small, fast. Choose one yourself!"

Jungkook: "...."

Jungkook took in a deep breath and resisted the impulse to block him.

Then, Jungkook turned to Kim Mingyu. Though Mingyu did not have much relationship experience, from Jungkook's day-to-day conversations with him, it felt like he skill knew a thing or two.

Jungkook: "What do girls usually get angry over?"

Mingyu: "Eh, this would depend on the scenario. What did you say to the girl?"

Jungkook: "Call her Sister-in-law".

Mingyu: "Don't show off your love to me over the New Year, thank you very much!"

Jungkook briefly summarized what happened earlier. Mingyu immediately saw the crux of the matter.

Mingyu: "JK! By endlessly putting meat on her plate, are you trying to hint sister-in-law that she has a huge appetite? You should be thankful that she didn't beat you up!"

Jungkook: "That's....the cause?"

Mingyu: "For sure!"

Jungkook felt that Mingyu was too dogmatic due to his inexperience. Though it was possible for the other girls to mind the size of their appetites, it was impossible for Lisa Manoban to have this problem. Usually, she was fiercer than guys when fighting with him for food. Furthermore, she could gnaw on pig trotters in in front of him with no pressure.

Therefore, Mingyu's advice could not be trusted as well.

Jungkook felt that he was approaching this matter wrongly. He should be contacting other girl's for advice as girls are more familiar with each other's perspectives. However, after flipping through his contact list, he did not find any girl whom he was close enough with that he could talk to regarding this matter. The main reason for this was that since secondary school, he was much busier than his peers of the same age. He had to maintain good grades while making sure that he was performing well in ice hockey. On the rare occasion that he had some spare time, he would be reading, practicing cello, spending time alone, or bringing his binoculars to the suburbs to gaze at stars.
