Chapter 87

Lisa was pretty much visiting the training base daily these days. If she had interviews to conduct during the day, she would rush over as soon as she was done with her task list. If she was just working at the office, she would shamelessly request to leave early. Since she was now considered a 'big shot' at the agency, even Director Yang Hyun Suk turned a blind eye to this, so no one else was going to say anything about it.

She did all this because Coach RM had mentioned that Jungkook trained better when she was around.

So she hoped she could accompany him as much as possible since she could not help in any other way.

Jaehyun was away during this time, so Jungkook would always passionately invite her to rest at his dorm room. However, Lisa felt that if she kept running off with him to the dorm room to do this and that, he would just end up overexerting himself and this would affect his training. His training was already so tough and demanding, draining a lot of his energy; he should save up his energy at night.

As such, Jungkook's invitations were mostly rebuffed.

But whenever she refused, Jungkook would insist on sending her home at night. He was already tired out from training after his additional training in the evenings, and Lisa was rather reluctant to see him make the trip out and back. Finally, she found a compromise — she booked at room at a hotel near the training base.

And so she stationed herself there for this period of time; she was working pretty hard for Jungkook's sake.

When Jungkook sent her back at night, a taxi ride of over an hour had now been shortened to less than 10 minutes of walking time. The tar road from the gates of the training base to the doors of the hotel was very wide, and the street lights were tall and bright. However, there were not many people staying in the area and there was very little traffic, so this road seemed very vast and empty. Old folks selling fruits on trishaws could sometimes spotted at the intersection. Jungkook would often buy a great pile of fruit for Lisa, stating grandly that 'eating more fruits will make you prettier and prettier'.

Lisa sweatdropped. Hefting the big bag of fruits, she said, "This is too much. Even elephants don't eat this much."

Jungkook still continued to do as he liked. When they arrived at the doors of the hotel, he would give her a hug. His chest was broad and his arms were long — locked in his embrace, she felt extremely safe and secure. At this time, he would always ask, "Lili, can I stay over tonight?"

Lisa refused flatly, "No. If you dare to try and stay and don't go back to the dorms, I will tell Coach RM."

Then he would act very pitiful. "So mean."

Lisa was a very principled person. She had agreed with Jungkook that she would stay at Jungkook's once a week, and then stay the remaining six days on her own at the hotel in order to help Jungkook 'conserve energy'. This reason left Jungkook unsure whether to laugh or cry, but he had no choice but to accept her determined decision. Moreover, this was just the current plan. According to Lisa's planning, once Jaehyun returns from Australia, there would be less than a month to the World Championships. At that time, she was determined to not have any more physical relations with Jungkook. She would definitely hold out until after the World Championships had ended. She did not want to become his 'Helen of Troy'.

Jungkook said rather helplessly, "Lili, can you have a little more faith in me?"

Lisa replied, "I have a lot of faith in you. That's why you must train properly. Good luck!"

He shook his head, smiling. "No, what I mean is, you should have faith in my kidneys."

This phrase left her blushing to her roots, and she ducked her head and ignored him.
