After hanging up the phone, Jungkook gazed out of the window with a serious gaze. He was bound to go to the capital city with Lisa. Not only for Lisa’s safety, but also because his time was up
Jungkook’s heart was somewhat troubled. He had not made a final decision yet.
“Jungkook? Jungkook?” Lisa wiped her hair and called out his name twice.
“What’s wrong?” Jungkook came back from the balcony.
Lisa walked to his side and sniffed. “Did you smoke?”
Lisa knew that Jungkook smoked because occasionally when he came home, he would have a faint smell of cigarettes on him. However, Jungkook had never smoked at home before, so she did not know what was wrong with him today.
“Yes.”
“Is there something wrong?” Lisa felt that Jungkook seemed to have something on his mind.
Jungkook looked at Lisa. Her long hair was wet, and the water dripped down her neck and slowly slid into the collar of her pajamas, causing Jungkook’s eyes to darken.
“Do you still remember the night before your brother came?”
With Jungkook’s reminder, the memories that Lisa had thrown out of the window instantly returned to her mind.
“You, how can you still remember?”
“Of course I have to remember. I have regretted it for a long time.”
Jungkook held Lisa in his arms. Lisa’s long hair, which was full of moisture, was also wet on his face.
“Jungkook.”
Lisa called Jungkook’s name in a soft voice.
Not only was Jungkook longing for her, she was also looking forward to Jungkook taking a step closer.
However, just as Lisa was waiting for Jungkook’s kiss to land on her lips, Jungkook suddenly took a step back.
“Let me hug you to sleep tonight! I won’t do anything.”
Jungkook’s voice was very gentle, so Lisa couldn’t say anything to reject him.
In Lisa’s bedroom, Lisa wanted to face Jungkook, but was rejected by him. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
Being hugged by Jungkook, Lisa felt like she was being treasured.
“Jungkook, what’s wrong? I feel like something is wrong with you.”
With her back facing him, Lisa asked. Jungkook’s hot chest pressed against her body, causing Lisa’s heart to race.
“Nothing, I’m just wondering if we will continue living happily like this.”
Jungkook’s words stopped Lisa. Lisa’s expression froze, and her heart started to race.
Continue living? Will they? She was just a substitute. Eunbi was supposed to marry Jungkook, and Eunbi was supposed to be loved and cared for by Jungkook. Thinking of this, Lisa felt like her heart was being grabbed by a big hand.
She did not want to admit that she was jealous because she did not have the right. However, she could not control herself and wanted Jungkook for herself.
If one day Jungkook found out about her identity and did not want her, or if Eunbi found out about Jungkook’s good intentions and wanted to snatch Jungkook back, where would she go?
Just thinking about it made Lisa almost cry.
Lisa shut herself in the blanket, so that her voice would not sound so strange.
“Jungkook, if one day you discover that I’ve lied to you, lied to you about a very important matter, what would you do?”
After a long time, Lisa did not receive an answer from Jungkook.
She felt like she was a condemned prisoner waiting to be hanged, hoping that the ruler would grant her a little favor and let her finish her sentence quickly.
“What kind of very important matter? Do you mean cheat on me?”
Jungkook’s voice carried a hint of a smile. Lisa knew that he was teasing her again. She turned to face Jungkook and said angrily, “No! I won’t cheat on you! I’m loyal in this marriage, and... I’m loyal to you.”
Lisa’s last four words were very gentle. After saying that, she buried her face into Jungkook’s firm chest.
Jungkook did not tease her this time. The steady heartbeat coming from his chest hit Lisa’s eardrums, making her feel at ease.
“If I lied to you, what would you do?” Lisa heard Jungkook ask her.
“Lie to me?”
Repeating his question, Lisa thought for a moment and said, “If you dare to lie to me, you will be punished to pick me up from work every day. You will also be punished to learn how to cook, and you will be punished to earn a lot of money and give it to me.”
Jungkook rested his chin on Lisa’s head and laughed lightly, “Won’t you be angry? Won’t you ignore me?”
Lisa thought about what Jungkook had said and shook her head, “No, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear to part with you.”
Jungkook was touched. As he hugged Lisa tighter and tighter, Jungkook thought that perhaps he would really do as Yeonjun wished and not cross the line.
Because the more you cared about someone, the less you wanted to hurt them. He was afraid that Lisa wouldn’t be able to accept his identity, so before he confessed, he would not touch Lisa again.
