I Will Protect You |Taekook|

Part 27

Author's pov

Jungkook walked ahead, Jennie just behind him. Jennie kept intentionally hiding behind him for some reason. But Jungkook didn't mind her. Even though he had a sense she hated him.

Upon reaching the food area, the first person they saw was Lisa. Seeing her, Jennie immediately left and hid behind a pillar, suddenly getting scared or...

"Where were you?!" She shouted, looking ready to burst because her eyes were glistening. She might have been crying upon not finding him. "You have no idea how badly I looked out for you! Where were you, huh?!"

Jungkook looked back. No one. And that's probably why Lisa hadn't questioned why was there a girl behind him. "Lisa, I... was in the clothes shop. I suddenly realized I needed some clothes to look better so..." He trailed off at the look on her face.

"And you won't inform me?! What if I hadn't realized and left you here? What would you have done?!" Okay, now that was an over-worriedness behaviour if there was a word like that. But really, leave him behind.... as if he was a kid and didn't know how to reach home.

"Um Lisa I... was out taking some things for Mom and Dad but unfortunately I couldn't find them." He made an excuse.

Lisa took him in, then sighed, "I know you're too good and kind, Jungkook. But just don't go hanging around without informing someone. This mall is so huge with many bad people."

That wasn't the time but Jungkook snorted a little, "You're acting like a mom."

Lisa turned red at the realization but she gained herself instantly as she fast as she had turned scarlet. "That's not the point. And what if I am? It's for your good, now come on, it's already late."

Jungkook nodded. Lisa started walking ahead. He looked behind him to see Jennie following him again, her face covered very low much by the hat that he almost couldn't recognize her.

They kept walking to the very entrance until Lisa stopped outside and looked here and there for a taxi. "Ugh, this is the problem in Busan, getting no taxis." She muttered but Jungkook heard her.

"It's not true." He said truthfully. He had born here and stayed for three years since he was born. "Whatever rumours you've heard, they aren't true. Everything's false. I've lived here, had a school, a house, a crush- shit!" Jungkook cursed a bit too loudly.

While Lisa smirked and itched her eyebrows up and down. "Who's she, huh? Let me guess... Taeyeon? Err... Jessie? Ariana? And... Taylor Swift?"

Jungkook made quite a disagreeing face. "No! I never fancied pop stars, never. Not even those older K-pop idols. It's... mmm... how to tell you!"

"Hey, come on, give it a whirl." Lisa insisted.

"Okay... it's... IU. She's my ideal type."

Lisa's face fell. "IU? Oh my, I never felt bad for a person ever in my life before. I feel pity for her having been ideal of a person like you."

Jungkook blinked. "I- she's not unlucky! Okay? I just had a normal crush on her. And it's not only her. There are many, Emma Watson, Hermione Granger, the very genius witch in Harry-"

"Wait a minute, you're indirectly saying about only her. They're all the same person."

"Of course! And I have-"

Lisa suddenly ignored him and looked behind her, and shouted, "Taxi! Here please!" She waved her hands. The taxi driver saw them and stopped in front.

"Can you drive us to the.. umm..." She looked behind at Jungkook hopefully. He came forward and said, "Lotus Hotel, please."
