HELLBOUND [Liskook]

Part 53 ⚠️

Chapter 238 Calm

The couple spent their time just cuddling and watching movies. Jungkook wanted her to have a good rest so he didn't let her do anything physically challenging and opted to spend the day relaxing and watching movies.

She was energetic and she laughed a lot during the movie marathon. Jungkook also found himself smiling, not because of the movie, but because of the happiness and relief he was feeling from watching her laugh and smile like everything was alright.

It was mystifying, how just sitting here beside her, doing nothing, made him perfectly happy and content. It was mystifying how he couldn't see himself anymore, without her by his side.

...

Later that afternoon, Jungkook brought her to her hospital bed to take a nap after stuffing her with all the nutritious food her body needed.

Lisa felt so pampered. Her husband was being so protective, acting like such a mother hen, and she liked it. Although she wanted to do something for him too, Lisa didn't insist on what she wanted this time. She knew that Jungkook was doing his very best and that this was possibly his way of coping with what was coming. Her surgery was fast approaching and she knew what it meant. That was why for these remaining days, she would listen to him and let him pamper her. She also loved that she could cuddle with him as much as she wanted. She was not going to waste a single moment and she was determined to just be happy with him with all her heart and soul.

When Lisa woke up from her long afternoon nap, she immediately looked for Jungkook. He was there, sitting by the window, facing her. He was busy with his phone; a slight frown was playing in his gorgeous face.

"You're awake," he said upon noticing her gaze on him. Her hair was messed up but she still looked beautiful and... seductive, at least in Jungkook's eyes.

Jungkook stood up, slipped his phone inside his pocket and leaned in on her. His palms were on the bed as he nibbled her lips. "You slept like a log," he smiled, mischievously.

"A log? It's sleeping beauty, Kook."

"Haha. Nope, my wife. I'm certain you're not sleeping beauty. You know why?" he traced the line of her cute and pointed nose. "Because no matter how many times I kissed you in your sleep, you never woke up," he smirked and pulled away. "But I'm not complaining that my wife is such a sleeping log." His smile became even wider and Lisa could only gape at him before she managed to retort.

"Well... That's because sleeping beauty won't wake up if the one who kisses her isn't a prince. But I am not complaining that my husband isn't a prince." Her comeback made Jungkook chuckle.

He bent over again, taking strands of her hair and pulling them close to his nose and breathed in her scent. She looked up at him and caught his eye through his long gorgeous lashes. "But your husband was a prince."

"Was a prince...?"

Jungkook suddenly paused and the smile on his face slowly faded. He looked like he regretted what he just said.

"Okay, I have something to show you." He changed the topic and lifted her up.

Lisa silently held onto him, thinking about what he just said as they walked out of the room. It was obvious Jungkook still didn't want to open up. No, it was like he found it utterly dreadful to even speak a single thing about himself.

Jungkook carried her until they stepped out of the backdoor. Their wedding venue was no longer there and the backyard was now back to normal. The only thing that was left was the beautiful wisteria, still blooming so breathtakingly.
