Impossible Lovers

61

From childhood to adulthood, Lisa  never lacked admirers. Most men liked her for her beauty, but Jungkook  was the first one to say that she was brave, kind, and likable.

Lisa 's mind was already in a daze, and after Jungkook  kissed her, her mind seemed to stop working altogether. His kiss was so light and gentle, and even his voice was soft, but when it landed on Lisa , it sent a direct impact to her heart.

Breathing suddenly became difficult.

Jungkook 's kiss was brief and he didn't put much distance between them afterward. He slightly lifted his gaze, as if waiting for something. Lisa 's eyes gradually focused again as she regained control of her breath.

A wave of heat rushed to her head, Lisa  felt her cheeks and ears turn red. With Jungkook 's presence surrounding her, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. Trying to steady herself, she looked at Jungkook 's enlarged handsome face and asked, "Are you confessing to me?"

"Yes," Jungkook  answered without hesitation.

Lisa  was stunned again, "Didn't you used to dislike me a lot?"

Jungkook  replied, "Didn't you also dislike me before? If I had kissed you back then, would you have reacted differently?"

"..."

Lisa  reflected on his words and realized that he might be right.

Seeing her in silence, Jungkook  continued, "I didn't understand you enough before and assumed things about you. I have deeply reflected on that. These days together have allowed me to see a different side of you, and I've discovered many likable qualities in you..."

Lisa  interrupted him, "Brave and kind?"

"Yes."

"So you think I'm not beautiful?"

"..."

Jungkook  paused for a moment, then gently brushed aside the strands of her long hair, "Before, I thought you were just beautiful, but now I know you have many qualities that are more attractive than just being beautiful. You are intelligent, determined, and committed to your ideals. No matter how many difficulties you face, they can't bring you down. You also have a precious sense of compassion and won't turn a blind eye to others' suffering. In your childhood composition, you wrote that you wished to shine like Su Mingmei, I think you already do. In my eyes, you shine brighter than any gem."

Lisa 's eyes became slightly teary, overwhelmed by his words.

She finally got to witness the true power of an "A" composition. It turns out that Teacher Jang's grading had reasonable grounds.

"I, I'm not as great as you say," Lisa  bashfully averted her gaze, not daring to meet his deep and affectionate eyes.

Jungkook  gently hooked his finger and tucked her black hair behind her ear, revealing her flushed ear. He deliberately leaned closer to her ear and whispered softly, "What I said is not even one-thousandth of how good you are."

Lisa : "..."

Help! The science-loving straight-A guy is killing people with sweetness!

Jungkook  then kissed her again on her already reddened ear and asked, "So, Lisa , do you accept my confession?"

"..."

Lisa  took a deep breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart, "It's, it's okay, I guess."

Jungkook  chuckled softly and was about to say something, but Lisa 's phone on the table started vibrating incessantly. Jungkook  turned to look at it when Lisa  took the opportunity to pick up her phone.
