Impossible Lovers

Jennie had never added Lisa as a friend on social media, but one day she was suddenly pulled into a class group chat. At first, she was quite happy until a notification popped up, indicating that Lisa had joined the group as well.

The corners of Jennie's mouth instantly drooped.

Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door of the private room. Jackson pushed the door open and said to them, "The ceremony is about to begin; you can take your seats."

A total of ten high school classmates came; Jack's arranged for them to sit at one table. Lisa put on her mask and left with Jungkook. Their table was located in a corner, not attracting much attention.

The ceremony started promptly at twelve o'clock. The proceedings were similar to other weddings Lisa had attended. However, the banquet hall was beautifully decorated.

When it was time to dine, Lisa removed her mask. Sitting beside her, Meng Yaxin asked, "Aren't celebrities not supposed to eat high-calorie food?"

Lisa calmly replied, "As long as my manager doesn't see, it's fine."

Meng Yaxin was speechless, "You have no sense of self-discipline as a celebrity."

Lisa explained, "Jungkook asked me not to follow other celebrities; he said I've already lost enough weight."

Meng Yaxin glanced at Jungkook, who was sitting on the other side of Lisa.

Jungkook nodded indifferently, "Yes, I told her."

"...Alright, as long as you're happy."

The formal attire Lisawore today easily accentuated her lower belly, so she didn't eat much and only tasted a few bites of each dish. Halfway through the meal, the newlyweds came to propose toasts. Since there were many people at this table, no one was forced to drink; a symbolic gesture was enough.

In the afternoon, the newlyweds reserved private rooms for the guests to drink tea, play mahjong, or even sing at karaoke. If the younger crowd wanted to go for karaoke, they could help book a place. Lisa  and Jungkook didn't stay to play with everyone and left early. After freshening up in the restroom and touching up her makeup, Lisa ran into Jackson when she came out.

Lisa didn't know if Jackson happened to be using the restroom or if he intentionally waited there, but she didn't ask. She smiled and nodded at Jackson, preparing to leave when he stopped her, "Um, Lisa."

Lisa paused and looked at him. Jackson seemed a bit awkward, possibly because he was tipsy from the alcohol during lunch, and his face was a little red. He looked at Lisa, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I heard them say that you and Jungkook are together now?"

"Yes," Lisa candidly nodded.

A trace of self-mockery flashed in Jackson's eyes, "So, you rejected me back then because of Jungkook, right?"

Lisa glanced at him and suddenly smiled playfully, "Jackson, I didn't even mention that today, yet you're running into a wall by yourself. So, are you admitting now that I rejected you back then?"

Jackson's face turned even redder than before, he pursed his lips as if trying to explain something, "I didn't spread that story. At the time, a classmate saw it and asked if you rejected me... I, I don't know what got into me, I felt embarrassed about being rejected by you, so I casually said that it was me who rejected you. I didn't... I didn't expect him to spread it to everyone."

Lisa chuckled and looked at him, "You being rejected by me is embarrassing, but me being rejected by you wouldn't be embarrassing, right?"

"No, it's just that I..."
