Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love /Liskook Adaptation/

Chapter 26 - I couldn't bear you leaving to another city.

Before, the address that Lisa had filled on her CV had actually been her old address. Due to Jungkook's highly retentive memory of CVs, she let herself be sent back to her mom's place.

After they had driven into the old district, Jungkook took note of these surroundings. "This road is hard to walk through. Furthermore, the streetlights are relatively sparse. Returning by yourself late at night is too dangerous."

Lisa said, "This place still has many people at night, and the snack street still has people even past midnight."

Jungkook nodded slightly. "But you still need to be aware of your safety."

"Mn." Lisa made a sound of agreement and then continued to give him directions. "We'll be there after turning right at the intersection up ahead. You can drop me off at the intersection after if it's difficult to make a U-turn."

"It's alright." Jungkook drove through the intersection and soon caught sight of the neighborhood. "Is this the place?"

"Mhmm. You can stop at the gate."

Jungkook found a spot and parked his car. Lisa lifted the leftover strawberries and opened the car door to exit. "Thank you, Director Jeon. Be careful on the road home."

Jungkook curved his lips into a smile and hummed in agreement.

Lisa waited for him to turn his car around and drive away before walking inside. She had yet to walk to the unit's entrance when she heard her mom call out, "Yan Yan, how come you came over?"

Lisa turned her head and saw her mom walking over from the large gate. "Oh, I went to Strawberry Gardens with Rose today to pick strawberries. I just thought I'd drop by to give you some."

"The food market here also sells strawberries, yet you still came over specifically to give me some?"

"Eh...this is different. Each of these I personally picked!"

Lisa's mom walked up to her and looked at the strawberries she was carrying. "Your strawberries are worth ¥60-80 per kilogram."

"More or less."

"Our market here sells for ¥30."

Lisa: "..."

"We were experiencing the joy of picking strawberries!" Lisa strived to persuade herself.

Her mom laughed and once again asked her with seriousness, "I just saw the car that sent you here. Who drove the car?"

Lisa blanked out for a moment. "Oh! That was our director. Today, we went to pick strawberries together, and he sent me home along the way."

"Your director?" Lisa's mom frown slightly. "I saw that the one driving was a man, so how did you...?"

"I don't know either." Lisa laughed dismissively. "Last time, Dr. Min said that my condition might have taken a turn for the better."

"Is that so...?" Lisa's mom wrinkled her brow, seemingly pondering over something. After a moment passed, she raised her head to look at Lisa. "Your director is very handsome."

Lisa: "..."

"Hahaha, mom, why are you downstairs?" Lisa, embarrassed and diffident, asked her mother, having been forced to change the subject.

Lisa's mom said, "Originally, I had gone down to play mahjong for a while, but in the end, I hadn't even sat down yet when I saw you come over."

"...Hehe. Mom, your eyes are still really sharp."

"My daughter still hasn't realized this yet?"

The two of them chatted as they entered the building. Lisa was afraid that her mom would continue to interrogate her regarding Director Jeon, so she didn't stay for long, using the excuse that she had to draw in order to leave early.
