The background music suddenly came to an end, highlighting this last spoken line.

As in the lyrics, peach blossoms that could steal one's heart seemed to be found in Jungkook's eyes, and once you looked directly into them, it was simply impossible to resist him.

Lisa's face immediately flushed a deep red...

She watched as he turned around and addressed the recording engineer. "It's good."

As if she had been granted a pardon, Jennie's voice was immediately heard in the headset as she burst out, "Ridiculously amazing! Jungkook, that monologue of yours was ridiculously amazing!" And since she had opened up the dialogue, everyone started speaking at once. It was a chaotic discussion filled with sighs of praise. They all felt that once this cover was released, the number of clicks and downloads of it would instantly break records...

All those voices talking together were lively and jumbled.

Lisa could not seem to hear things clearly. She honestly felt like she could not hold herself together any longer. Her favorite voice ,plus the real live Toupai right there in front of her, plus the song and monologue a moment ago. Instant lethalness.

"What do you think?" Jungkook asked her as he pulled off his headset with one hand.

"...... Very perfect." Her voice seemed extremely scratchy to her. "What I mean is, the parts you sang and your monologue were absolutely perfect......"

He laughed. "Thank you."

The red in her cheeks deepened another few shades. She swore, the most perfect memory in her life was singing this duet with Toupai. Seeing him sing live, listening to him deliver an impromptu monologue. Especially since... the words in the monologue were so entrancing...

"Lisa, are you feeling a tug at your heartstings?"Taehyung's voice suddenly jumped into her headset.

"Your heart is about to leap out of your chest, isn't it?" Minghao grinned, his arm wrapped around Taehyung's narrow shoulders. "I'm a guy and my heartstrings felt plucked at, let alone you being a girl ..."

Lisa was about to burst into tears from embarrassment, and she hastily took off her headset.

Fortunately, Toupai had already removed his headset, so he had not heard anything. He helped Lisa hang up her headset, then opened the door and gestured for her to step out first. She had just walked out of the soundproof room when an odd feeling overcame her. Everyone was watching both of them with a knowing look, suggestive of an unclear type of "relationship" between the two of them. Lisa's gazed flitted around, and she felt especially helpless...

She had never before in front of so many people been the target of a joke where she was paired with someone else.

In the past, at school, she was always part of the sidelines and would join in with the heckling... Even in YY events, when she was occasionally a guest host or something, she would definitely be the one doing the teasing! Could this be... karma? She was getting her just deserts? T T

Yet Jungkook's expression was completely unperturbed as he allowed everyone to poke fun as they wished, not even bothering to pay any attention to them... And not bothering to put a stop to them either... He walked out of the recording room, and after a short discussion with the recording engineer regarding their work from a moment ago, he told Lisa, "Have a drink first. Later, there will be a few lines that you'll need to sing alone and re-record."

"Okay..." Having been offered this great excuse, she swiftly fled the room and headed out into the large reception area to the water dispenser, where she grabbed a disposable paper cup and poured herself some water.
