Pretending To Not Care
Lisa lifted her gaze to watch Jungkook retreating. He hadn't texted earlier to let her know whether he likes the lunch she sent over, so then, she didn't waste her time making dinner in the evening.
But honestly, she's only sulking, not being appreciated. Or maybe she just acted childishly because all her life, she was pampered by everyone, so she isn't used to being ignored.
Anyway, why does she want Jungkook's attention? He is only a stranger to her. She didn't demand anything from someone that's not close to her, or she hasn't known this person for a long time.
'Ahhhhhhhh! A contract only binds us!' Why is she acting like this, by the way?
Did she only act stupid in front of him? Gosh! So, she just embarrassed herself to Jungkook? Ugh!
Meanwhile, Jungkook sat on his leather armchair, rested his back, and closed his eyes.
But to his disappointment, she prepared nothing this evening. And he is starving.
Jungkook was in deep thought when his phone rang. He wants to ignore it, but maybe it's important. He hasn't visited his parent's home over in a month now.
"Hey..." He answered his phone.
"Cousinnnnnnn! Huhuhuh....."
Jungkook rolled his eyes. He massaged his forehead while listening to the man on the other line. "So? What's up?"
"Please, save me!" Weeping by a man none other than Kai.
Lazily, Jungkook asked his cousin, "What happened?"
"Cousin, please give me one of your flats! I'm about to move out of here!"
Listening to Kai's ugly howls, Jungkook shook his head. He asked, "Why do you want to move out and live in a penthouse? You are living in a mansion."
"Ah! Just don't ask!"
Jungkook burst out laughing. He knew the reason his cousin wanted to leave home.
"Stop laughing! I'm doing this for your dad too!"
"Huh? What's going on?" he asked innocently, even though he already guessed the root of this drama.
"We need a hiding place! Or else, we're going crazy one day!" Kai whined.
"Heh. Just ignored mom. Like you weren't used to her nagging yet." Ah. His mom surely could shake the ground. Jungkook mused. He pulled his ear away from the phone when Kai kept growling like a slaughtered cow.
"Ah! You could say that because you weren't here!"
"Well, now dad realizes why I leave home." Jungkook pushes a smirk on the corner of his mouth. But later, he gives in. "Okay. I'll get someone to clean and furnish the penthouse I have in the East Bay."
Delighted, Kai jumped. "Can I borrow your yacht, cousin?"
Jungkook raised a brow. Now he understood. "Don't you dare to bring your girlfriends into my house and yacht!"
Stammering, Kai scratched his head. Damn! His cousin quickly caught him! "I... I plan to bring your dad to fish. Why would you accuse me of going on a date using your yacht?"
Jungkook rolled his eyes. He knew his cousin. It's better to warn him. "I'll let you live there and use it for dad to unwind and have a break from mom's nagging. But it should be just overnight once in a while. You both should go home the next day to watch mom."
"Ehhh?"
"I want you to keep an eye on me, mom. I will always be out of the country soon. So I want to make sure she does nothing weird."
