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

Chapter 35 - I like you.

Jungkook said it in such a matter-of-fact way that for a moment, Lisa felt that she was the crazy one. She smiled at the shop assistant and said, "Excuse me." She then dragged Jungkook to the side to softly say, "Do you know how many people in this world can wear these kinds of clothes like everyday wear? For the overwhelming majority, they can only wear these high priced clothes once."

Jungkook's eyelashes fluttered. He looked at her and said, "And so?"

"...So why are you buying it!" Lisa lowered her voice even further. "Like those celebrities who frequently attend red carpet events--if they bought a new expensive outfit every time, then no matter how much money they had, it still wouldn't be enough to pay for it. That's why everyone normally goes to borrow from brand names. At first, I also was going to have Rose help me borrow clothes from Celine."

Jungkook laughed softly and asked her, "Do you know what will happen if you wear borrowed clothes to attend Son Ara's engagement reception? Those rich wives are not celebrities. They have always disdained female stars borrowing clothes. Either you don't wear high priced clothes, or if you do, it must have been bought."

"...Then I'll wear a common evening gown." If worst came to worst, she would end up being ridiculed by Son Ara for a while, which she had no fear of.

Jungkook stated, "Unfortunately, I already bought this dress."

Lisa: "..."

Jungkook saw her face become deathly ashen and couldn't help laughing lightly. "This dress you're wearing, the chest piece is hand sewn with so many sequins and pearls, and the hemline required a generous amount of embroidery as well. 800 hours of labor were used to finish this dress. Do you think that if I had only bought it now, there would be time to finish it?"

...Oh, right.

"Then this is a sample dress?"

"It was customized according to my mom's measurements." Jungkook explained, "I had noticed it with a single glance at a fashion show and found this evening gown to my liking, so I looked for Lewis at that time and discussed having this custom-made."

"Your mother?" Lisa was completely shocked. He shouldn't have intended...to burn it to give to his mother?That's too grand...

As if he could see what she was thinking, Jungkook laughed and elaborated, "My mother had a wardrobe with very many beautiful clothes inside, but she practically never opened it again after giving birth to me because she had to go to work wearing those ugly work clothes." When Jungkook said this point, his eyes darkened. "My mom didn't even get the chance to wear a wedding dress. I felt that this dress might, to some extent, make up for her regrets."

To make up for his regrets as well.

He looked at Lisa, his gaze softening as they focused solely on her. "Do you still remember what I had previously said to you, about how my greatest desire was to buy many beautiful clothes for my mom after I grew up? Although I now don't have a way to buy her many beautiful clothes for her, I can buy you many beautiful clothes."

A faint light flashed through Lisa's eyes. At this moment, after getting to know Jungkook, her deathly grey heart appeared to be fanatically and distinctly throbbing for the first time.

Jungkook continued, "So a few days ago, I contacted Lewis and said that the clothes are going to be worn by someone else instead and might require size alterations. You know what type of designer that Lewis is; they must know whoever wears a clothing item of theirs. After I gave him your information, he very straightforwardly agreed. Your relationship with him seems to be pretty good?"

"Eh...it's okay? I go to fashion shows and have chatted with him several times. If he was a woman, our relationship might be even better."

Pfff. Jungkook laughed. "I can tell that he admires you very much. He even said that he was very much looking forward to you wearing the clothes he designed. Speaking of this, I go to fashion shows at least twice a year, yet I unexpectedly have never run into you."
