HELLBOUND [Liskook]

Part 23

Chapter 72 (Classroom rules)

Little Betty looked at Jimin and Jae-hyun. Jae-hyun was miming at her to choose him but Betty's gaze just passed through him until her eyes fell on the lone man sitting at the far end of the room. She pointed her finger towards Taehyung, surprising everyone except Jungkook. Even Taehyung himself was a little taken aback, although his face remained blank.

"Nice choice, Little Betty," Jungkook seemed satisfied with her choice. He looked at Taehyung with a taunting smile and before Lisa could protest, Jungkook was already walking towards Taehyung. He held Betty's hand in one hand and the book with the other. Once they stood before the quiet Taehyung, Jungkook looked down at him with a smile on his face. He bent down and put the book on Taehyung's lap, almost with a flourish, before he straightened up. "Take care of Little Betty for a while, V."

Without even waiting for the man's response, Jungkook patted the girl's head as he asked Charles to give Taehyung the blanket and the pillow. Little Betty smiled and voluntarily jumped on the space next to Taehyung. She took the pillow and positioned it as close to Taehyung as possible and she quietly settled down as she stared at the man, waiting expectantly for him to start reading to her.

Jungkook smiled at the girl's behavior before he looked at Taehyung with a mischievous yet stern look in his eyes. "I'll leave her to you then, V. Start reading to her now because it's already quite late," he said before turning to walk away.

He walked straight towards Lisa and grabbed her wrist, dragging her up the stairs. Lisa kept looking back at the duo as she was still a bit worried. 

"Jungkook, are you sure? I think it might be better if we leave her with Jimin," she said and Jungkook halted on the stairs.

"Stop worrying, little fruit. Trust me, V is the best choice for babysitting her. I don't actually trust those two that much. They'll make her cry or treat her like a doll. She won't be able to sleep early if she's with them."

"But…" 

"Shh… look at her. She likes V. Don't worry, V will never harm even a single strand of her hair," he said and Lisa just blinked. Jungkook's absolute trust in Taehyung was not something she expected, especially regarding this matter. 

Lisa looked at Betty and when she saw that the girl was smiling as she looked up at the cold man. She looked around and saw the butler and maids were also standing by so she felt at ease.

However, her ease only lasted for a minute because as soon as the two arrived on the third floor, Lisa's heart began to thump. She began to feel nervous. 

Was he really going to punish her? 

Lisa's steps began to slow. She walked like a turtle while Jungkook just walked elegantly in front of her, like always, as she followed behind him. When the man finally stopped in front of her room, Lisa was a few steps behind him.

He glanced at her before he pushed her room's door open and entered like it was his own.  

Lisa took a deep breath, not once but thrice, before she entered. Jungkook was already sitting on her bed, loosening his neck tie and unbuttoning the first two buttons of his shirt. He was doing that in an outrageously, devastatingly sexy and alluring way. His eyes smoldered as he looked at her as he moved gracefully like a magnificent beast. 

"Come over, Lisa," he ordered and his deep voice made Lisa swallow as she moved slowly towards him.

"Uhm Jungkook, I can explain. I…" before Lisa could continue, Jungkook pulled her close. His large hand easily gripped both of her hands while his free hand grabbed her chin.
