The first song reaches its end. But Jungkook has no plan to stop. The next song that was played by their guest band has a song titled Destiny by Jim Brickman.
This time, both of her arms rested on Jungkook's shoulder and both of his palms clasping her slender waist. Their body was pressing each other. Too close that it made her difficult to breathe.
To hide her blushing cheeks, Lisa rested her head on Jungkook's shoulder. She could not meet his intense gaze either. It feels like, his eyes drawing her into a space she knew she should not enter. She's afraid to fall deeper.
"You look lovely in your dress," Jungkook whispered into her ear.
Lisa parted from Jungkook and met his eyes. There is sincerity in them. She smiled and thanked him. For her, Jungkook is such a gentleman. In the months, they were living together, he didn't try to take advantage of her. Instead, it's quite the opposite. However, in these passing days, he started acting strange, and she doesn't want to assume that Jungkook is also falling for her.
What is Rosé right? How about one day, Jungkook finally sees her again? What if he finally found her?
It means Jungkook's real love has finally arrived. And all of these acts would be only her wonderful memories.
Lisa closes her eyes. At that moment, she was lost in her thoughts. Once again, she self-pitied herself and consoled herself not to fall too much.
She comprehended that the heartbreak she experienced with Jimin is different from the pain she will feel once she let herself fall for Jungkook. Because what she felt for Jimin is only brotherly love and Jungkook is different.
There are many times she wishes, that every intimacy they were acting in is real. But in the end, she has to wake up, because, in reality, she is not part of his life.
She is simply His Contractual Mistress.
Lisa lost her enthusiasm for dancing. She asked Jungkook, "Can we take a seat now?"
"Sure! How about dinner?" Jungkook queried on their way back to the table he was seated at with his friends.
"Ah... I'm a little hungry, yes." Her excuse. Because what comfort she could only offer to herself is food.
But Jungkook is acting gentlemanly again. In the end, she cannot escape from his charm.
"Seat here. I'll get you something to eat." said, Jungkook. He pulled a chair and helped Lisa to sit comfortably. He gathered the hem of her dress and carefully tucked them on her side so that she would not step in on herself.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll ask a server to serve some water."
Lisa observed Jungkook at the buffet table. She sighed helplessly and hid the sadness in her eyes. Every day, she always works on killing her feelings for him. But every single day, Jungkook is showing her a reason why she must fall for him.
'And it should not happen.' Her thoughts but not her heart. 'Ah! Stop! You can't decide on your own!' Lisa keeps scolding herself.
Later, Minnie approaches her with a pitcher of water in her hand. She poured the water into a clean glass and offered it to Lisa.
"Thank you, Nads."
"You are very welcome, Madame Jeon," Minnie said teasingly which made Lisa dumbfounded for a moment.
"Hey! Don't make a joke like that." She warned the girl. However, she could not hide the smile she tried to conceal.
"You and the boss are a perfect match!" Minnie could not stop fangirling and showing how thrilled she was. "Darn! Earlier, when you made a grand entrance, the boss stopped blinking and his eyes couldn't take off you! His expression was caught on camera. And everyone sees it on the large screen."
