Chapter 11: Transformation – See, men have such low standards.        

             
Lisa suddenly recalled Jungkook asking the same question the previous night in the car.
Who were you thinking of when you were singing that song?

She couldn't figure out why, but she didn't want to talk about Lin Eunwoo in front of Jungkook.
Jeongguk, still watching her from her opposite, carried a slight hint of sadness in his brows.

Lisa's pupils dilated a little then questioned, "Why are you asking this?"
Jeongguk replied, "Luo Jimin previously investigated He Jia Shu. That year, it was his niece He Eunha that had accused you of plagiarism, correct? You and He Eunha were both part of Shi University's baking society, and Lin Eunwoo was the president. "

She got a little suspicious. "Why were you investigating him?"
"The company almost lost a talented pastry chef because of him. Do you think these type of people deserve to stay another year with us?"

Lisa: "..."

"Director He...did he..."

"He's been dismissed. " Jeongguk didn't seem like he wanted to talk about him. "He's not important here. Was Lin Eunwoo your boyfriend from university?"

Tang Lisa paused for a moment. She lowered her head to the table and kept her eyes on the fruit.  
Jeongguk's eyes dilated as he sat down beside the table. "You must admit though, men have such low standards, sweetheart. "

Lisa suddenly thought this was a bit funny, she remembered this was the same behaviour as when the little cat that Fu Jisoo's family owned got moody.

"He wasn't my boyfriend."

Lisa shrugged and sat down opposite Jeongguk.

"When I was in highschool I fell in love with baking, but I was too busy studying that I didn't have a lot of time to practice and learn. After I entered university, I discovered there was a baking society during orientation and just joined without thinking. "  

Shi University's baking society was created solely by Lin Eunwoo, his parents owned a Western styled restaurant so he was always in close contact to the culinary world.     

"It was only until after I joined the baking society that I found out the Club President was a really influential figure in the university. " Lisa remembered the first time she met Lin Eunwoo, he had organised the society welcome party, but the very moment he showed up at the scene, all the girls in the room started squealing.

"His smile was very refreshing, it felt like a ray of sunshine.  Everyone referred to him as Little Sunshine. He taught me how to bake my first cake, and although it didn't taste particularly good, that feeling is still unforgettable. "  
Jeongguk leaned back against the chair, a warm ray of sunlight shone through the window behind him, dyeing his ruffled hair a light shade of gold. He gazed at Lisa, his mouth slightly lifted to ask,

"Did you like him?"  

Lisa laughed a little. "It was hard not to like him back then. He was amazing at everything and always treated me really well. He told me that you need to be full of happiness in order to bake cakes, so that the person eating it could also feel the same happiness. So I carried the feelings I had for him and worked hard at baking a cake, thinking to myself, he'd understand my emotions once he tasted it. "

"And then?"

"And then...' Lisa laughed a bit in embarrassment, "He never ended up coming. That day I waited the whole afternoon for him at our meetup point but he never turned up. I found out the next day that he had actually left the country. "
