Impossible Lovers

28.

Lisa still remembered that day when she wore a new dress and used her mom's curling iron to style her favorite curls. She happily set out.

Meng Yaxin had reserved a table at the rooftop restaurant of the hotel and invited some close classmates to join her for a meal. Originally, they hadn't planned to invite Jungkook , but Mother Meng, who was treating them, insisted on inviting the top student of their grade to encourage others to learn from him.

Meng Yaxin thought that Jungkook  might decline the invitation given his cold and distant personality. However, to her surprise, Jungkook  readily accepted the invitation to join them for dinner.

Lisa and Jungkook  lived in the same neighborhood, and theoretically, they could have gone together, but their relationship had always been rocky, so they both chose to take separate taxis.

Although they set out separately, they arrived at the hotel at almost the same time.

As both of them got out of their cars simultaneously, Jungkook  glanced at Lisa, who was dressed up for the occasion, and without saying a word, he walked into the hotel. Although he didn't speak, Lisa already understood a thousand words from his eyes.

"Jungkook , what do you mean by that look just now?" Holding the gift prepared for Meng Yaxin, Lisa caught up with him and asked, "Can't stand seeing me, huh?"

"..."

Jungkook  remained silent and walked straight to the elevator, pressing the button. Lisa didn't want to take the same elevator with him, but when she saw the other elevators had long waiting periods, she reluctantly decided to go in with him.

In the elevator, it was just the two of them. Lisa looked Jungkook  up and down and asked, "Are you empty-handed? What about your birthday gift?"

"In my backpack," Jungkook  replied.

Lisa glanced at Jungkook 's backpack. Oh my, who would bring a backpack to a classmate's birthday banquet. :)

He wouldn't be preparing to perform a math test for everyone later, right? :)

Thinking about this, Lisa looked at him suspiciously, "Did you prepare a set of test papers to give everyone as a birthday gift?"

"..."

"You're thinking too much."

"That's good, then," Lisa then picked up the little gift box she prepared and waved it in front of Jungkook , "This is the lipstick I got for Meng Yaxin. It looks really nice."

Jungkook  glanced at it and said, "Makeup is not allowed at school."

"That's fine; she can use it when she goes to university. Anyway, we'll be graduating soon," Thinking about this, Lisa was a bit excited. She heard that Jungkook  was planning to study abroad, which was great news.

Lisa! You can finally get rid of the disaster that is Jungkook !

Just as she thought of the word "disaster", the elevator suddenly shook and the lights went out.

Lisa let out a high-pitched scream in fright. Fortunately, the lights quickly came back on, but the elevator was still stuck. Lisa looked at Jungkook  in the corner and asked nervously, "What's happening?"

Jungkook  remained in his place but stepped forward to press the buttons for other floors. When there was no response, he pressed the emergency call button and said, "It seems like it's malfunctioning."

"Malfunctioning?" Lisa turned pale when she heard those three words. She instantly imagined various scenes from movies and TV shows where elevators plummeted to the ground, "No way, why do you look so calm as if nothing is happening?"
