Chapter 48 - Tears ("Do you know some sort of
magic?") (2)

Xu Lisa balled up her fist and said to him with
utmost seriousness, "I would not have let the tissue
fall!"

"Is that so?" asked Mu Jungkook as he pulled into the narrow parking spot, stopped the car, released his seatbelt before turning to look at her. "How so? Do you know some sort of magic?"

Her heart almost skipped a beat and his question
made her speechless.

Of course she knew magic except that... she couldn't
possibly tell him that.

Discouraged, she lowered her head and kept her
mouth shut.

Returning to their apartment by the lake, she walked
in front of him, removed her heels, and walked inside the house in her bare feet.

When she walked past the foyer, he called out to her
from behind, "Xu Lisa."

Even though the conversation was less than pleasant in the car, but she still stopped in her way, turned around, looked at his cautiously and asked, "What is it?"

As though she was anticipating something.

There was an indescribable irritation inside of Mu Jungkook. His looked turned colder and he said, "If you don't want me to have any ideas, then don't go out in dresses like that in the future."

Her beautiful collar bones, pale skin, skinny waist, and her long and slender legs were exposed for all to see.

Xu Lisa thought he would feel bad and say
something to comfort her. She had expected it was
such a request coming from him.

The tiny little bit of hope that had risen inside of her was drowned out immediately.

"You know that I can't stand the hot weather." Not
even Xu Lisa knew why she wasn't so afraid of
him all of a sudden and even wanted to get into an
argument with him. "You've touched my forehead last
time. You know that my body temperature is much
higher than yours."

He recalled the day when she had stood on her tiptoe, trying to touch her forehead to his. There was a little bit of stubbornness with a lot more cuteness.

Not to mention the warm little body and that scent of
hers that lingered for a long time.

But, thinking about how close she was to that Shen guy earlier.... his eyes were even colder.

He turned and looked away from her. "Your status
is my lover for these six months. You need to behave yourself both publicly and privately during this time frame."

Having said that, he quickly walked past the living
room, went inside his own room, and slammed his
door shut.

At the very same moment, a lighting slashed through
the night sky and, with some rumbling noises, dull
thunder sound came through the clouds.

Xu Lisa covered up her ears reflexively and
dashed inside of the bathroom. She showered and
brushed her teeth in the fastest speed possible and,
took the opportunity between two thunderous sound,
adjusted the air-conditioning to 16 degree Celsius
and crawled underneath the blanket.

Though the thick blanket meant for an
air-conditioned room, the thunder sound was still
scary. As soon as she closed her eyes, she recalled
her day of transformation and the excruciating pain
of being struck by lightning.

She kept her eyes shut tightly and even put on a pair
of earplugs: Mu Jungkook was a big jerk!

Right now, inside the bathroom of the master
bedroom, cold water coursed through Mu Jungkook's defined muscle and he pushed the hair on his forehead to the back of his head.

His sight, blurred by the water, could see nothing but
Xu Lisa.

Right after they had walked inside the house, when
he called out to her from behind and she had turned
around, written all over her cute face was "c'mon,
woo me. I am willing to make up with you."

He read it clearly, so how was it that what had finally left his mouth was such awful words?

Outside the window, the rumbling of the thunder
continued and the rain has yet to come.

Mu Jungkook shut off the tap with force, grabbed a towel and dried himself casually before he walked
over, topless, to her tightly-shut door and knocked on it gently.

He waited for a while but there was not a peep
coming from inside.

He turned the lights off in the living room before he
gently opened up her room door and walked over to
her bed.

He could see the blanket piled up into a big bundle on
top of the bed but she was nowhere to be seen.

This girl!... was that afraid of the thunder? And, with
her being so overheated all the time, would she pass
out under the blanket?

Grabbing a corner of the blanket, he pulled open the blanket as gently as possible.

What he saw was the girl, curled up, her eyelashes
fluttering, seemingly asleep.

Our of the corner of her eye closer to him was a
drop of tears.

Mu Jungkook let out a soft sigh and pulled off the
blanket all the way. He adjusted the air-conditioning
back to 22 degree before he carefully laid down next to her and pulled her into his arms.
