Chapter 14

—— Sleep here tonight..!

♪

This little thing! Why did he suddenly mention this?!!!

Lisa looked at Jungkook. He folded his legs on the sofa and sat in an elegant posture with the English book spread out on his lap. But his attention wasn't on the book at the moment. Although he still kept his head slightly lowered, his eyes looked at her.

His mouth was slightly crooked and his eyebrows were arced elegantly. His smiling expression gave Lisa an even more unfathomable feeling, and she was almost embarrassed to death. Then she looked at the little guy. He still looked at her eagerly. Children didn't have as many twists and turns to their words compared to adults. 

They called a spade a spade. Like is like. Dislike is dislike. Although Lisa was extremely embarrassed, she couldn't bear seeing the disappointment on the little guy's face, so she agreed to it after much thought. 

Ignoring Jungkook's questioning eyes, she said: "Okay, I'll accompany you to watch." Relieved and very happy with her answer, Jae took her hand and dragged her upstairs where she accompanied him back to his room to wash and change into pajamas. Moments later, freshly bathed and feeling chipper, the two of them entered Jungkook's room.

Jungkook had also finished washing up and was sitting on the bed. Directly opposite him was a wall-mounted LCD TV playing the cartoon that she and Jae had just watched. He paused the animation to the scene where it was paused downstairs.

Lisa was puzzled. He'd been reading books the whole time. Why did he know exactly where they stopped watching? Brushing her thoughts aside, she glanced around. Jungkook's room was very large. The decoration was mainly black and white; simple but neat. 

While she was admiring the decoration, Jae-joon already climbed onto the bed first and sat down beside his father. He patted on the other side and said: "Mom you sit here."

Jungkook folded several pillows behind him and half rested on the bed. The quilt was pulled halfway up his body. His one hand rested behind his head while the other was casually draped on the quilt. His eyes were closed as if he were asleep.

Lisa hesitated before she went to the little one and sat down. The little one took the remote control and pressed it and the cartoon that had just been watched continued. But, in no time at all, he became sleepy. His eyes drifted closed as he leaned against the bed and he immediately fell asleep.

Lisa glanced at Jungkook. Suddenly, the man with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes. However, he didn't look at her. Instead he squinted at the TV in front of him. Soft light swathed the room with a warm glow while the TV blared in the background. All in all, it created a cozy atmosphere, but she began to get nervous somehow. 

Afraid of waking Jae-joon from his peaceful sleep, she asked him in a low voice: "Do you want me to carry him to his room?" He didn't look at her. His narrowed eyes were still watching the TV and he just said in a lazy voice: "No. Let him sleep here." The room was filled with light and sounds and Jae was with them. But all of a sudden Lisa felt that everything was sucked from the room and all that remained was the quiet stillness of the night. And in that quiet stillness, only she and Jungkook remained. Bit by bit, she began to feel more and more flustered. 

"That... Then I'll go back to my room first." She opened the quilt to get out of bed when she heard Jungkook behind her say: "You haven't answered the question I asked you just now."

Lisa stilled in her movements. The question he asked just now...... naturally, she knew what it was. "Do you really like me?" He asked again. Lisa gulped nervously and looked at him stiffly. He laid his head on his arm and smiled at her. He seemed to be in a good mood. In the hazy glow, his smile seemed to add another layer of soft light.
