Healing Sunshine

Chapter 15.2 - The Memories are Still Awake

For the convenience of taking Lalisa around to have fun, Jungkook had reserved a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui's Harbour City.

The next day, he wanted to take a taxi over to Ocean Park, but Lalisa turned down this plan. "I want to take the metro and bus." In regards to this request from Lalisa, Jungkook had no real objections. Transportation was so convenient in the location where they were staying anyway, so it would not be too troublesome if they really did take the metro and bus. Every time he came here alone for work, he would always, out of habit, choose to take the metro as his primary mode of transportation as well.

"We need to go to Admiralty Station." The first thing Lalisa did after she stepped into the metro car was tilt her head up to look at the metro system map. "And then we get out at exit B."

Old map of Hong Kong's MTR system from the early 2000s. They likely would have gotten on at Tsim Sha Tsui station and then exited at Admiralty. (Note: There is now an Ocean Park Station on the South Island line that opened yearend 2016. In the early 2000s, this station did not exist, and hence the two had to transfer from metro to bus in order to get to Ocean Park.)

She had already researched the transportation routes last night.

The last time she was here, because she had not been adequately prepared, she had not arrived at Ocean Park until three, four in the afternoon. Most of her time had been spent trying to figure out the route to take, and hence she had missed the time of the dolphin performance. This time, she definitely was not going to miss it.

With her hands holding the metal pole and her head leaning lightly against it, she conversed quietly with Jungkook.

Since entering university, there was no longer the restriction of not being allowed to have long hair that hung loose, so her hair naturally had grown out a lot. At this very moment, her soft locks were splayed over her shoulders, highlighting a delicate, pretty face.

She had always been very slender, but her face had some baby fat.

This type of countenance made a person seem younger.

But it was this young and delicate face that was now matched with a rather mature, intellectual-looking dark-blue dress beneath it, and tied at the waist was a little dark-blue linen belt. When worn on Lalisa, this outfit caused people to think of a girl who was still not truly grown up yet but had snuck one of her mother's mature-looking outfits to wear, simply for the purpose of going out on a date with the person she liked.

However, though the clothing was a little inharmonious with her age, it also gave a wonderful feeling to Jungkook.

As Jungkook held the grab rail with one hand and chatted with her with lowered head, he would every now and then carefully observe her movements and gestures.

He was not certain how long he would be able to stay with her this time that he was back. He even worried that on his next return, his little lady would have suddenly grown up, and he would have missed out on being with her during that wonderful period where she truly matured and developed.

"Are you thinking about some matters?" Lalisa asked him softly.

Shaking his head, Jungkook answered in a quiet voice, "No, I was just thinking about dolphins."

His dark, clear eyes were gazing at her.

A laugh slipped from her with a "pfft." "We'll definitely be able to make the noon performance."

Jungkook said nothing to that. It was currently only nine o'clock. The park was not even officially open for the day yet.

They transferred from metro to bus. She purposely pulled Jungkook back, not letting him get on the bus that was about to pull away, and stood instead at the very front of the queue. She wanted to sit in the first row of the top level of the double-decker bus and have the same view as the driver.
