42 - Test The Waters

Lisa stopped breathing.

Like a cord snapped, her brain was blank and her ears were ringing. The place where he'd just touched was burning hot.

To the max.

"Oh," Lisa acted like it didn't affect her and ignored his actions, bringing the focus back to the topic. "I'll get it checked at the hospital and follow the treatment given."

Jungkook's gaze was still on her while he was lost in thought as he muttered a "hm". He seemed to not have listened to a word she said and was not on the same wavelength as she was.

"Why is your face red?"

"The weather's too hot," Lisa looked away and tossed out an excuse. "It's close to 40 degrees nowadays."

"Huh," Jungkook leaned back and gestured towards the air conditioner with his eyes. "Isn't the air conditioner switched on?"

"..."

"Your face wasn't red when you got back," he laughed and didn't let her off the hook with his teasing tone of voice. "You came into an air conditioned space and your face got red."

Lisa was helpless in the face of his unrelenting behaviour. She truthfully said, "Jungkook, I've not seen a guy's ** before."

Jungkook raised his brows.

She tried to make him understand that this matter was entirely on him. It was reasonable for her to be blushing and she had absolutely no other intentions.

"Before we started sharing the unit, I've mentioned not to be too revealing in your dressing. You agreed to it at the time and you even said, 'in your dreams'."

"I did say that," said Jungkook. "But I'm in a good mood today."

"?"

"I'm willing to provide you with some dessert."

Lisa almost choked.

She's never met, such a, shameless, person.

Staring at his arrogant expression, she decided not to negotiate with him and swallowed it in. "That's all there is. I'll try my best not to let this happen again. You should also take precautions on your side, please."

Jungkook pointed out, "Your method of handling the matter is exactly the same each time."

"..."

"You just changed the phrasing and sequence," said Jungkook. "But you continue to commit the same crime after that."

Lisa was silent for a few second before saying patiently, "You can voice out your opinions. If it's within my capabilities to cooperate, I will."

"I only have a single request," Jungkook leaned against the sofa and casually said, "Before you come up with a solid way to solve the matter, I'd prefer if you, keep a distance from other men."

Lisa paused.

"Don't be all comfy and cosy on that side, then come over to this side. At the end of the day, the one who'll be toyed around by you will be-" Jungkook intentionally paused for two seconds before saying, "Poor, little, me."

After he finished, Lisa returned to her room.

She went to the dressing table and looked in the mirror to see that her face was indeed tinted red. Lisa subconsciously raised her hand to touch the spot where Jungkook had just been. She pursed her lips and let out a sharp breath.

She recalled Jaehyun's actions earlier today when he tried to touch her face. Lisa was clear that if she'd felt uncomfortable, if she didn't like it and if she wanted to dodge it, she had ample time to do so.
