To Our Pure Little Beauty

Their youth part 9

Lisa, arm in arm with Jungkook, loitered in the supermarket at the school entrance. Twice Jungkook suggested that the weather was hot, let’s not link arms, both times he was ignored.

At that time when the hour hand and the minute hand formed a straight line on the clock surface, plus formed a 180 degree angle, other than being able to sigh that the author is a great person who is extremely sensitive to time and angles, we can also predict, something was about to happen.

Yes, something was about to happen.

Lisa excitedly lifted up a box of mint candies that was packaged extremely strangely, I want to buy this.

She had a strange habit, when she saw things that were packaged prettily or weirdly, she couldn’t help but want to buy them, there were bottles and boxes of all sizes in disorderly piles in her dormitory, the dorm master had secretly thrown away many of them.

Jungkook lowered his head and glanced at it, “Don’t you hate mint-flavoured things?”

“But the box is very pretty.” Lisa grabbed the sleeve of Jungkook’s shirt and shook it twice, her two eyes shining with starry light, “It’ll be okay if you eat them.”

“I don’t want to.” Jungkook refused flatly, this woman always did this sort of thing, randomly buying a few things that she didn’t need, then complaining that she had no money to eat when it came to the end of the month, yet not being willing to take his meal card when he gave it to her, it was very annoying.

The expression in Lisa’s eyes dimmed, “If you don’t want then forget about it, I’ll give them to my dormmates to eat.”

“You’re not allowed to buy it.” Jungkook removed the box in her hands, and placed it back on the shelf.

“It’s not like I’m asking you to buy it for me, I’m using my own money, why am I not allowed to buy it?!” Lisa felt like this was a little hard to comprehend, and couldn’t help but talk back.

Jungkook stared blankly, that was right…… Why didn’t he think of buying it for her……

But timing mattered for a lot of things, once the opportunity passed, it seemed like no matter how you said it, it would seem weird, plus with a little of his shame turning into anger, Jungkook’s face darkened as he said, “Up to you.”

Three words such as “up to you” that were so casual, Lisa had always disliked them, but no matter how much she disliked these words, since they came out of Jungkook’s mouth, apart from accepting them, she had no other choice, this sort of feeling of not having the upper hand, sometimes really made one so discouraged that grievances would arise in one’s heart.

As they walked along the path of being about to part on bad terms, Jungkook stealthily took a few peeks at Lisa, her head bowed and not saying a word. There were a few times he wanted to hold her hand, yet every time, he dropped the idea because he couldn’t put aside his pride. He sent her downstairs her dormitory, and watched as she said “I’m going back” indifferently, then went upstairs without even turning her head back. This was completely different from her normal manner, ordinarily, she would always dillydally and say many things, and she would even play out a few rounds of “You should go back, I’ll watch you leave, ah why are you really going off like this? Come back, you have to tell me that you’ll watch me go upstairs……”

The distance between her dormitory and his dormitory was only about 5 minutes on foot, but often he would receive her text barely halfway through the journey, talking about some senseless content, who in the dormitory overturned the paint, whose clothes haven’t been washed for a week et cetera, though they had clearly just finished meeting up and finished chatting, she could always find (things that) she so-called “forgot to tell you just now”.
