On the eve of May Fourth Youth Day, the school gave the students a day off. Various student clubs and student unions organized internal social activities.

Lisa actually quite wanted to watch Jungkook's May Fourth military review, but she heard it was being held internally within the college and would not be open to the public.

After the military review ended, Jungkook hurried back to his dormitory, took a fragrant hour-long hot shower, then shut the door and carefully primped himself, preparing for his confession tonight.

He blew his bangs up into a breezy hairstyle, revealing his tall, full forehead, making him look very spirited.

Jaehyun returned from his shower to see two pink envelopes on Jungkook's desk. He gestured at Mingyu, a mischievous look in his eyes.

Mingyu understood instantly. The moment Jungkook turned his back, he leapt up and used his body to block the balcony door, locking Jungkook outside.

Jaehyun walked over to Jungkook's desk and opened the pink envelopes.

Inside were Jungkook's love confession letters to Lisa, written on crisp light green stationery. He had even drawn cute little cartoon animals in the margins, and the paper gave off a faint citrus scent.

Jungkook pounded on the door, his deep voice threatening, "Do you want to die?"

Mingyu's face turned red from the effort of holding the door. He urgently urged Jaehyun, "I can't hold on much longer! What did Jungkook write in his love letter? Read it, quick!"

Jaehyun held the letter and read aloud:

"My dear lili, I've been so busy with military training these past few days that I haven't had time to care about your studies and life. I wonder if you've been well lately?"

Mingyu shouted excitedly from the other side of the door, "Goosebumps all over!"

Jaehyun laughed and continued reading:

"Every time I catch sight of you on the training grounds these days, my heart starts racing uncontrollably. My whole body fills with strength. I know this is the power of love."

"I can't take it, too cheesy!" Mingyu cried.

Jaehyun asked, "Want me to stop?"

"No, keep going!"

Jaehyun continued:

"My dear lili, I can't stop thinking about you, can't stop loving you..."

After a long pause, he stopped. "Damn, I can't read this anymore! It's too much!"

On the balcony, Jungkook was ready to explode. He picked up a plastic bucket and started pounding on the door with it. Even students from neighboring rooms poked their heads out, "What's with all the noise next door! Trying to tear down the building?"

Mingyu let go of the door and Jungkook stormed in, stony-faced. He snatched back his letter, carefully folded it, and put it in the envelope. He shot Mingyu and Jaehyun a fierce glare.

The two immediately backed up a few steps, arming themselves with clothes hangers and slippers at the ready.

Jungkook coldly withdrew his gaze. With dignity, he straightened his collar and sleeves. Today he was too lazy to fight them. He had to stay clean and beautiful for when his lili came back so he could confess to her.

Seeing that Jungkook was letting them off the hook, Jaehyun sidled over with a laugh. "Boss Jeon, what's with writing love letters in this day and age? That's way too old school. Have any girls who've confessed to you done it by letter?"
