Impossible Lovers

Lisa's car drove back to the Starlight Farm at night. Through the window, she could see Jungkook  standing at the hotel entrance. He was wearing a long gray coat with a plaid scarf wrapped around his neck. Despite the temperature being just a few degrees outside, he stood there looking poised. If she hadn't seen the white breath he exhaled, Lisa would have thought he wasn't feeling cold at all.

The car's headlights illuminated him, causing Jungkook  to look over in response. Once the car steadied, Lisa immediately opened the car door and rushed down. Jungkook  saw her coming down and handed her the paper bag he was holding, saying, "Hold this, I'll help you with the luggage."

Lisa had noticed something in his hands, but now, as she received it, she found it was actually warm. She opened the paper bag and glanced inside, finding roasted sweet potatoes: "Wow, roasted sweet potatoes? Where did you buy them?"

Jungkook  took out her suitcase from the trunk and closed it: "I roasted them myself. A while ago, Meng Yaxin dug a lot of sweet potatoes at the farm and gave me some."

"Oh," Lisa didn't rush to eat, instead using the roasted sweet potatoes to warm her hands, "What did you use to roast them?"

"I bought an air fryer," the car that brought Lisa back drove away into the night. Jungkook  dragged the luggage and walked with Lisa toward the hotel, "I used to order takeout when I worked overtime, so I just bought an air fryer. It's convenient for making snacks."

"You're living well," Lisa held the roasted sweet potatoes, looking at Jungkook  walking beside her, "Are you feeling cold? Do you want to borrow them to warm your hands?"

Jungkook  replied, "No need. I prepared them for you."

"Why did you wait outside? You could have waited for me in the hotel lobby; it's warmer in there."

The hotel lobby had heating and sofas, which was much more comfortable than standing outside in the cold.

Jungkook  paused for a moment and said, "Waiting outside allows me to see you earlier."

Lisa's heart skipped a beat at his words. Jungkook  was a science guy, but he spoke in such an unassuming way. Was this the strength of someone who always got an A in essay writing since childhood? It was terrifying.

Her face felt a bit warm, so she used the roasted sweet potatoes in her hand to cover her face and vaguely said, "When I saw you in the car, I did feel relieved."

Jungkook 's paused again for a moment, then he awkwardly replied, "Uh-huh."

Lisa followed him into the elevator. Mina immediately posted the photo of the two of them side by side, entering the hotel, in the group chat, and started shouting, "Miss Manoban is back! Mr. Jeon has been waiting outside in the freezing cold for her to return! The temperature is already below zero, if this isn't considered dedication, then what is!"

Mina: He even prepared roasted sweet potatoes for Miss Manoban, sob sob! I'm going to eat some in celebration!

Shin: Wow! Mina, your photography skills are amazing! This photo looks so professional!

Mina: It's not my skill, they just look great together! What you see is what you get, I didn't even use any filters!

Manager Kim: I added one [picture]

Meng Yaxin: !! I would believe this is a movie poster!

Meng Yaxin: Let me add a few words!

Meng Yaxin edited the photo with the words [Winter Song] and sent it back to the group chat.

Shin: I've already set it as my phone wallpaper [picture] Thank you, everyone!
