HELLBOUND [Liskook]

Part 60

Chapter 285 Her turn

Lisa just stared up at him. Her body slowly relaxed, maybe because she finally let out her anger. Or maybe, she softened up again, hearing these words he was saying, calling himself a monster like it was a fact.

She almost reached out to hug him and tell him he wasn't a monster, that she had never seen him as a monster, but she refrained herself.

"No. I'm not scared of you," she told him almost insolently, causing him to narrow his eyes. "I just… hate… cheating, womanizing bastards…" she continued as her eyes wandered around.

"Cheating…" he echoed. "Why would you say I'm cheating?"

Lisa blinked and said nothing, her brain somewhat shutting down from her slip up.

"Speak," Jungkook commanded.

Lisa found herself in a dilemma. Oh no! How was she going to get out of this? Of course Jungkook wouldn't think he was cheating if he had no partner, no wife to cheat on!

She had slipped up by calling him names and now she had to think of an excuse, something that would make sense! She couldn't very well tell him that it was because he was a married man. Her eyes wandered around again and her eyes caught some objects sitting on top of the bedside table.

There was a necklace with a couple of rings on it, sitting there. Those were their wedding rings and her engagement ring. Upon seeing them, Lisa's heart squeezed so tight that she could hardly breath. She almost cried.

"Aren't you… married?" her voice became weak as she spoke, not tearing her eyes off the rings.

Jungkook creased his brows and followed her line of sight.

"Those were wedding rings, right?"

She looked at him and their eyes met.

"You thought I was married because of those?"

"Well… yes."

He bit his lips and looked at her in disbelief.

"Those aren't mine. And I am certainly not married," he said, sounding so sure of himself.

"Then whose are they?"

He looked at the rings again with a frown on his face.

"I don't know."

For a moment, Lisa saw something flicker in his eyes as he looked at the rings. She didn't know if it was something good but she felt something tug at her chest.

She thought that maybe she wasn't the only one suffering. That Jungkook, despite completely forgetting about her, was fighting his own battles as well. She was the reason why Jungkook lost his soul and forgot about her. All this happened to him because he wanted to save her. Maybe Jungkook knew this would happen. Maybe right now, he was somewhere in there, fighting as hard as she was to free himself from this nightmare. Lisa could only believe in that thought, that they were both still fighting for love.

"So…" Jungkook spoke, breaking her internal thoughts and making her focus on him again. "You actually screamed at me and told me you hated me because you thought I was married?" Jungkook said, now looking at her like he was about to punish her.

She swallowed. "Well, I hate womanizing men, too…" she reasoned out, looking away. She was trying her best not to pull him in and kiss him, given their intimate position right now. "So… I still hate you."

He smirked. "What a brazen, little lamb."

"Stop calling me a little lamb! I have a name," she said, trying very hard to distract him from his current train of thought.
