Confession

36

On the big bed, a beautiful woman's eyelashes trembled. Her eyes slowly opened, and she felt a momentary sense of confusion.

Lisa blinked, then focused on the face that was centimeters away from hers. After a short moment of disbelief, memories of last night flooded into her. And along these memories came an aching body.

This man, no matter which lifetime, is so...

Lisa began to feel a little angry. But when she saw Jungkook's peaceful, smiling face, she froze. In both lifetimes...in the thousand days and nights they've slept together...this was the first time this man had shown such an expression.

Lisa couldn't help but think back to the first time they had sex in her last life. Her memory of that night was fuzzy, but there was one moment that she remembered in exceptional clarity. After they had sex, when Jungkook thought she had fallen asleep, he had whispered, 'I'm sorry' in her ear.

Those words filled her heart with such heavy sadness that she was unable to sleep for a long time.

Are you apologizing to me? Or are you apologizing to the girl you secretly loved?

With those questions circling her mind, Lisa had woken up alone in bed the next morning. Wrapped in snow-white sheets with an aching body, Lisa had never felt so grief-stricken. There was a vast chasm in her heart, and at that moment, she was too tired to resist. There was no more hope and expectation left in her.

While Lisa was focused on past memories, she had failed to notice that Jungkook was actually awake. He had woken up before Lisa , but pretended to be asleep so he could stay in bed. Noticing that Lisa wasn't moving, Jungkook couldn't help but quietly open an eye to carefully check the situation.

But what he saw made him stop all pretense, as fear and panic gripped his heart. Lisa was sad. She's sad.

Jungkook was shocked. He wrapped his arms around Lisa and hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Sorry? Lisa looked up at the man in front of her. For a moment, the emotions she had on that horrible day in her last life surged back. Without thought, she asked: "You're sorry?"

"I-I..." Jungkook grit his teeth, then sighed in resignation. "I wasn't drunk last night. I was pretending...I-It's all my fault."

"Pretend?" Lisa blinked back the complicated emotions from her past and managed to accurately focus on the critical point of his sentence.

"Hmm." Jungkook nodded. "Sorry."

So he hadn't been drunk last night? He was actually faking? Lisa's anger came back, and she couldn't help but bite Jungkook's arm to vent.

Jungkook quietly hummed, immediately relaxing the muscles in his arm Lisa wouldn't get hurt. He patiently waited for Lisa to let go, then looked at the resulting teeth marks. Seeing the tiny amount of blood, Jungkook suddenly chuckled.

Seeing the man smile, Lisa's anger doubled. She said: "Are you proud of yourself?"
　　
"Not proud, but happy." Jungkook replied.

Happy! Lisa became furious. She looked at his arms, trying to find another spot to bite.

"You can bite here." Jungkook was afraid that Lisa would get tired of biting him, so he willingly offered his other hand.

Lisa felt like a cat being teased. She was doing her best with fangs showing and claws extended, but her owner's face remained silly and pain-free.

"As long as you stop being sad." Jungkook continued. "You can do whatever you want."

Sad? Lisa was a little surprised. Did she look sad when she recalled her past life?
