Just Blame Me

37

They headed back inside after swimming, and Jungkook pestered Lisa until 5 o'clock.

She took a shower, and after changing her clothes, she said, "I'm really hungry. I want to eat some Luosifen."

Jungkook was sitting by the window. When he heard what she said, his brows knit together. "I'll have the restaurant deliver some food."

"No, I want to eat Luosifen."

"It's only 5 o'clock now. If you eat that, you'll get hungry later at night," Jungkook said very realistically.

Lisa thought it over for a moment and nodded. "That's true. Then go ahead and call the restaurant."

Before Jungkook could even feel happy, Lisa added, "After I eat my Luosifen, I'll have an actual meal."

"...." Jungkook looked at her without a word. "Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat that much? Haven't you seen all the comments on Weibo cursing you to get fat?"

Lisa scoffed without any concern. She pulled her hair out from inside her clothes. "All their curses will bounce off me and the people cursing me will feel the effects of their own curse soon enough."

Jungkook, "...."

"You're saying all this stuff just to stop me from eating Luosifen, aren't you?" Lisa turned to look at him as she wrinkled her nose. "You're all better after this afternoon, aren't you? I'm going to eat my Luosifen now."

...How were those two things in any way connected? Jungkook watched as she headed downstairs and quickly put on his robe to follow her.

Lisa walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She looked inside and said, "Hey, where's my bag of Luosifen? I remember there was still a bag of it when I left."

She'd been so distressed about it too.

Jungkook walked over to her side and propped his left arm onto the refrigerator. "Your memory must be faulty."

"How could it be." Lisa frowned as she looked at Jungkook. "Did you throw it away?!"

"...." Jungkook thought about it for a moment and then nodded. "Mm."

In any case, he wasn't going to admit that he ate it.

"How could you throw it away?! It wasn't even expired yet! It was just sitting quietly on its own inside the refrigerator, and you couldn't just tolerate it?!"

"...I kept feeling like it would make everything else smell. Mm."

Lisa, "...."

Seeing her unhappy expression, Jungkook closed the refrigerator door and said, "I'll have Eunwoo buy a box for you tomorrow, okay?"

Lisa paused to think. "Okay. I'm going to eat each and every bag right in front of you."

Jungkook, "...."
Such animosity.

Because the Luosifen had unfortunately "died in battle,"Lisa could only wait for Jungkook to have dinner delivered from the restaurant.

When he walked into the living room to make the call, Lisa's phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was her mother calling.

She frowned slightly. Lisa walked off to the side to pick up her phone. "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Oh, Lali, your brother will be finishing the semester soon, won't he? I'm worried that he won't have enough living expenses. Think about how hard he must be studying at the end of the semester. Shouldn't he at least be able to eat well?"
