Impossible Lovers

That night, Lisa carefully reflected on when these thoughts about Jungkook  began. Was it that evening when she saw him alone on the blind path, moving the shared bicycle in the cold wind? Or was it when she saw his lecture in elementary school? Whenever Jungkook  talked about his expertise and ideals, he always had a captivating charm. Just like tonight when he spoke at the charity event, he seemed so charismatic.

"..."

The more she thought about it, the more Lisa felt that something was off with herself.

She covered her head with a blanket and closed her eyes, hoping that she wouldn't have any strange dreams tonight.

The next morning, when she woke up, half of Lisa's face was still buried in the blanket. She glanced outside, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and checked the time.

It was already past 8 o'clock. It seemed that despite pondering too much before going to sleep, it didn't affect her ability to sleep. She hadn't dreamed anything strange last night, just dreaming about her high school days with Jungkook . Brushing aside her hair with one hand, she opened Weibo and checked the trending topics.

Today, there were no scandals, no one going to jail, and no major controversies. The trending topics seemed rather unremarkable. The only thing that caught Lisa's attention was the charity event they attended yesterday, which surprisingly made it to the trending list. Compared to the star-studded charity events, this one was quite low-profile, with only about 30+ positions on the trending list. Just as she was about to click on it, she noticed another trending topic right below it, titled [Lisa].

Lisa was taken aback and quickly clicked on it. It turned out to be a post about her attending the charity event yesterday, accompanied by high-resolution pictures. While the pictures might not have been as photoshopped as those of the celebrities, Lisa relied on her natural beauty to stand out.

Though the trending topic wasn't ranked high, some netizens still noticed it and began commenting on the photos, lavishing her with praise and compliments. However, there were also some who made snide remarks, saying that she was trying to show off even before becoming famous.

"..."

She thought to herself, if she were going to show off, she should at least aim for the top spot on the trending list. What was the point of staying in the 30+ range?

Fortunately, some keen-eyed netizens came to her defense.

「My mom also attended this charity event. She said, only those who have been doing charity work and donating a significant amount of money were invited [doge].」

This comment quickly received numerous likes and pushed her trending topic to the top. Lisa decided not to join in the self-promotion, so she exited the trending topic.

She then scrolled through the trending list and saw [Jungkook ] listed a few positions below.

Lisa: "!"

This trending topic was undoubtedly related to last night's event; Professor Qu managed to ride the coattails of the trending topics with his remarkable looks. Lisa took a screenshot of the trending list and sent it to Jungkook .

Lisa: After so many years, I finally got a trending topic ahead of you! [Picture]

Jungkook  opened the picture she sent and replied with a single word: …Impressive.

Lisa: 🤦‍♀️

Lisa: Just say it, did you intentionally match outfits with me last night? Even the netizens noticed it! 🤦‍♀️

Jungkook : ...Coincidence.

Lisa: Pfft, you clearly knew I was going to wear gold! 🤦‍♀️

Jungkook : ...I'm at work, let's talk at lunch.
