Can't take my eyes off you || L.K Adaptation

Chapter 13

"Jungkook, you idiot! What's with all the excuses? She's hiding from you, plain and simple!" Somi growled irritatedly. "Why are you so stupid? Stupid enough to cover for her! Why?"

"Sister! That's enough! She's my wife and this is between us, let us mind our own business. I'm going to say this one last time. If she wants to go to Nanjiang, then just let her go to Nanjiang. I don't have a problem with it, why are you being so nosy about our affairs?" Jungkook growled at Somi as he was getting impatient and agitated by his sister.

Mr. Jeon could see that Jungkook was simply playing dumb. How could Jungkook not know about his wife's real intention? He knew but he did not want to admit it. Not only that, he was trying to find excuses for Lisa as he did not want his family to blame her for her waywardness.

"What about you?" Mr. Jeon looked at Jungkook and asked.

"What about me?" Jungkook regained his attention and understood his father's question. "It's just four years. The time will pass before we know it. Four years later, she will get older and more mature, and she can come to the north to search for a job. This will put me more at ease."

Jungkook took a slice of watermelon and handed it to Lisa while teasing her, "Anyway, the person who has just said she misses me earlier in the morning will be going to Nanjiang soon. I'm afraid this is the beginning of our long-distance relationship. What if you miss me again? We won't be able to meet as frequently as we do now."

His stern and rough tone transformed this amusing tease into a serious remark. Jungkook was always a serious person, and it was perhaps the first time he had ever teased someone. Feeling the awkwardness after saying those words, he shrugged uncomfortably and bowed his head, pretending to read the newspaper.

"Hmph, do you really think that you are so special to her? She's probably flattered hearing you say that!" Somi was really angry. She stomped her feet and pulled her mother to the kitchen. She finally realized how foolishly in love her brother was. He was fascinated by Lisa and listened to every enchanting word she said.

After Somi and their mother went to the kitchen, Jungkook reached over to take a slice of watermelon and handed it to Lisa. "Since you want to go to Nanjiang so badly, go as you please. Come, eat the watermelon. Lunch will be ready soon."

When Jungkook spoke again, he sounded ever so natural and calm, as if he did not mind the whole matter regarding the letter of admission at all. He picked up the letter from the floor with his hand that wasn't drenched with water, patted the dust off it, and placed it in front of Lisa. "Keep this well. I don't think I'll be able to come back when you start school, so let your eldest brother accompany you for the registration."

Lisa stared at the red-colored letter. Overwhelming remorse and regret filled her heart until it skipped a beat. It would be great if she could be reborn to the day when she was filling up the application form. Then, when she went off to college, they could meet every weekend and on holidays.

"After lunch, take a trip to Jiang Village and tell the in-laws about the great news. I bet they'll be very delighted and proud when they hear about your admission to Nanjiang Medical University! Lisa, I think you are the first and only female college student in your village, if I recall correctly? Are any of your classmates in the village admitted to a key university too? Ask around when you're there. If there are any who are, you can register together," Mr. Jeon said. He had a generous and broad temper. As a father, he knew what kind of character his son had, just how stubborn and persistent he was. He also knew how much Lisa meant in his heart.

Mr. Jeon sincerely thought that Lisa was actually a good kid, but she was too young to understand marriage and adapt to the married life. When she grew older, she would come to it.
