At first glance, one would assume that Jungkook was a poor dancer. However, witnessing him move so gracefully with the music, made Lisa think otherwise. It was as if he was taught how to dance the dance of Estia beforehand. However, Lisa couldn’t stop herself from saying…
“It seems you have a knack in attracting trouble.” she said, finally breaking the silence between them. As they twirled, Lisa’s skirt fluttered around her like a flower blooming before falling gracefully around her feet. At this statement, Jungkook frowned at her…
“Will you really insist on playing princess when we’re dancing?”
She fought the urge to stomp on his foot. But even if she were to put all that she had on that one mighty stomp, she doubts, with his thick skin, that he would sense she was doing it. It was like underneath his skin was his skeleton made of iron. Seeing his grin at her, Lisa couldn’t help but snap at him…
“Why do you even insist on causing me trouble every time?” She asked him incredulously and he only grinned at her all the more.
“Probably because it irritates you so much.” he said smugly, and Lisa stared at him with a glare.
She was still deciding whether or not he meant it or just making fun of her. Sensing she couldn’t get a straight answer, Jungkook fired away once more with a smug grin…
“Do you like your fiancé? Byun Gyongbaek?” He asked with mock curiosity as Lisa’s frown only deepened the more he grinned at her.
This man, she thinks with irritation, fighting back the growing urge to cause him bodily harm. It was clear now that he was enjoying her predicament.
“My feelings for this matter are irrelevant.” She answered diplomatically, “As a princess, it is my duty to marry him.”
“Ah you’re too kind, princess.” he mock-praised her and drew her closer, whispering to her ear. “Don’t you think you should loosen up a little?”
Lisa would have preferred that he was unable to come to Estia, thus not having him around, alas, reality was not that fortunate. Instead of gracing him with an answer, Leah chose to change the subject instead.
“You dance so well the dance of Estia, how come?” She asked him.
“Ever since I was young, I’ve had rigorous lessons on what to do on a variety of dances.” He answered truthfully, but Lisa watched him with a skeptical eye. She could hardly believe he’d done such a thing since childhood. She couldn’t even imagine what childhood he would have had, let alone actually go through dance lessons with his attitude.
“Curious?” he uttered with a grin and held back a snort.
“Not one bit.”
“Such an excellent liar.”
“Please leave me alone.” She sighed out in annoyance, careful to keep her cool. She still needed to keep up appearances after all. Jungkook’s eyes narrowed down to her as he watched her lips begin to tremble, “Why do you always insist-” she says in a choked-up voice before she stopped herself before continuing, and pulled away from him. However, he gripped her tighter, preventing her from doing so.
Jungkook drew near once more, and asked her in a whisper…
“Do you still wish to die?”
And without hesitation, Lisa firmly replied…
“Yes.”
The music stopped, and another one started. Lisa finally managed to extract herself from Jungkook, and smiled at him gracefully in false pretense…
