Almost Us

05

Lisa left after saying those words.

She halted her steps and looked back at Jungkook, who was looking also at her.

"Hey, ummm... Thank you for the talk. I'll see you elsewhere, Sunbaenim. "

She ran and ran, without minding where on earth she was.

She looked at her phone to check the time.

11 : 14  P.M

"It's almost midnight yet you haven't eaten. Pabo Lisa-yah." She said to herself, hitting her own head with her palm

She looked around, trying to find a restaurant or just a convenience store.

Luckily, there was a restaurant nearby.

"Thank you!" She jumped with joy and quickly ran to the said place

She shivered as her palm made contact with the cold glass door, opening it.

"It's so cold in here." Lisa whispered, walking in

She sat on the nearest table and a woman came to her, with the menu on her hands

"Oh dear, why are you out at this ho- Lisa?"

The woman recognized her and Lisa looked at the woman with visible shock on her face.

Fucking hell.

"Oh my gosh, dear. It's been a while." The woman smiled sweetly at her, and her eyes wrinkled as a sign of happiness

She surely was happy to see Lisa.

"You didn't change. You're still beautiful."

She widened her smile and opened her arms to hug the girl, who was surely in shock and seem to not comprehend what was happening.

"You must be shocked, are you? Well, I am too." The woman laughed

"Y-yeah. I am really shocked, Mrs. Jeon." Lisa flashed a smile although she was uncomfortable and was not ready to face this kind of situation

She was already struggling to face Jungkook, what more if it's his mother, who did nothing but to care Lisa as if she was her own daughter?

"Pfft, Lisa dear, I told you to call me Eomma." Jungkook's mother said

Lisa was hesitant.

"But Mrs. Jeon, I know that you are aware of our breakup so I think I don't have the rights to call you Eomma anymore." Lisa reasoned out, as her tears began to form in the corner of her eyes

The elder sighed.

"Lisa, even if you had broken up already, I still have the feeling that you and Jungkook will end up being together. So technically, you'll be my daughter-in-law. Trust me, I dreamed of it."

Lisa appreciated the support of the woman but she knew better that it won't happen again.

"I'm sorry, Eomma. But Jungkook had already found someone whom he will be with for the rest of his life." Lisa said, trying to stop her tears

The elder saw how she was struggling to hide her feelings from her.

"Dear, I know you still love him. But just because he's got his eyes on somebody right now, doesn't mean she will be his wife. I'm rooting for you Lisa. And might as well... grab him while he's still single." The woman winked

Lisa smiled a little as a reply.

"Oh wait. Have you eaten? Omygosh. I'm sorry. I'll bring you food." The woman panicked and immediately left, not hearing Lisa's reply
