Chapter 76

Lisa did not dare to make a move. She kept her head low, not looking at him and not saying a word. Her hand was still under his clothes, and under her palm was a warm and wet sticky mess. When he let go, she pulled her hand out.

After that, she sat up and reached for tissues on her bedside table with a red face.

Jungkook's arms were longer — with a quick reach, he managed to get some before she could. He pulled out a few sheets, captured her slender wrist, and began carefully wiping.

His motions were slow, intangibly dragging out the process. Lisa was so shy she did not know what to do. She cast a look at him to prompt him to move faster, but found that he was already looking at her. His eyebrows were like gently sloping willow branches and his gaze was gentle, like lotus flowers blooming under the moonlight.

When he was done wiping off her hands, Jungkook cupped her face and kissed her cheeks. He then said softly, "Wait for me. I'm going to change."

Lisa did not know whether she was being too sensitive, but she felt like his every move, his every word was a tease...

She went to the washroom, and on the way, she saw Auntie Kim seated on the sofa looking at her phone. When Auntie Kim saw Lisa, she merely smiled and said, "You're back?"

"Yes." Lisa was afraid Auntie Kim would ask her about other things, so she did not dare to linger, quickly dodging into the washroom.

After Jungkook changed his clothes, he came out refreshed. When he saw his mother, he said affectedly, "Mum, back so early?"

Madam Kim remained calm and composed; she had no plans to expose her son.

And then Jungkook and Lisa went out for a date. He would return to the team tonight, and after he returned, there would be pre-match training for the Champions Tournament. Time was in short supply, so he must seize the chance he had now to spend more time with her.

This was yet another reason why the team did not recommend the athletes be in a relationship. An athlete's schedule was just too tight. There was very little time they could spare to spend with a girlfriend, which would negatively impact the relationship. Then there were cases where the girlfriend could not bear the loneliness and cheated, which would negatively impact the athlete's emotions.

There were only so few places a couple could go to on a date. Jungkook and Lisa went to a cinema. The two of them looked at posters to choose a movie to watch, settling for a romantic comedy in the end. The poster claimed that the romantic comedy would have a laughing point every 68 seconds.

Jungkook bought Lisa some popcorn and fruit juice, while Lisa bought him a bottle of Nongfu Spring water.

Fine, he was forever being treated to Nongfu Spring.

The movie began. Jungkook found that they were the only two people in the entire cinema. It was incredible that they would be able to enjoy a fully-reserved cinema for just the price of two tickets. However, after watching a few minutes of the movie, he finally understood the inevitability behind this coincidental situation. It was already a grand achievement for this utterly rotten film that there were still people watching it. The screenwriter was so desperate to make the audience laugh that the jokes were almost about to break through the screen to smack the audience in the face. And yet, his laughing points were too low-level, leaving the audience bored. Not only did the audience not want to watch, they did not even feel like listening.

Jungkook was so bored that he began harassing Lisa. He touched her head and kissed her once or twice. When she ignored him, he moved on to snatch her popcorn away so she could not eat it. His arms were long — holding the popcorn high above their heads, she could forget getting it back.
