Chapter 3

Lisa focused her attentions on her mum's explanation why her mum's visit was delayed, it gave Lisa a headache. Lisa was too suspicious that the phone was broken so she didn't notice Jungkook who stood at the door and he was staring mischievously at her.

'Hey, my little girl. Your dad strained his wrist, I'll come visit you in another two days,' Mrs. Manoban said.

'Is it serious? Does dad need to go to the hospital?' Lisa asked.

'It's nothing. Yesterday your dad was playing mahjong with a few people for too long and your dad strained his wrist,' Mrs. Manoban said.

Lisa bit into a peach she grabbed from Jungkook's coffee table, and she choked - who strained their wrist from playing mahjong for too long... her dad. She coughed for a while before she threw up the peach flesh that choked her.

Lisa stood, she took a death breath but it didn't soothe her anger. 'If dad strained his wrist from playing mahjong for too long then why do you need to delay your visit for two days?'

'Because tomorrow it's your dad's turn to host mahjong at our home. I'm going to play in his place and he'll look on. This is a rare opportunity for me to play, how can I let the opportunity go?' Mrs. Manoban said.

Lisa heard commotions from her mum's end, which suspiciously sounded like tile clanking sounds.

'Five thousand Yuan... ok, long distance calls are expensive... wait, my tiles-' Mrs. Manoban said and she hung up the phone.

Lisa glared at the phone and she wanted to cry but no tears came out.

Lisa was passed the age she could freely sulk to her mum for her mum to visit her, but she couldn't accept in her mum's eyes, she couldn't compete with a game of mahjong - she accepted her mum found her from a rubbish bin. What sort of parents loved playing mahjong more than they loved their daughter who they haven't seen for half a year... unless they found their daughter from a rubbish bin.

Lisa stood in a beautiful pose and she tossed the peach accurately into the bin in front of her.

Lisa thought Jungkook lived a luxurious life, even the peaches he bought tasted more delicious than the peaches she bought. She scoffed and she grabbed another peach from his coffee table. Suddenly she noticed a tall shadow and she kicked in the direction of the owner's shadow. 'Who is it?'

Jungkook was used to Lisa's reflexes. He quickly took two steps back and he narrowly escaped the force of her kick.

After Lisa's foot brushed passed Jungkook's nose, she put down her guard. 'If you're home, why didn't you knock on the door?'

Lisa was relaxed, but Jungkook was on high alert. 'If I'm back at my own home, why do I need to knock?'

Lisa realised she wasn't at her home but she was at Jubgkook's home. She scrunched her nose and she felt there was still a glimmer of hope she wouldn't lose the battle of words against Jungkook. 'Ah... then why were you standing behind me? Were you planning an ambush attack?'

Jungkook ignored the intimidating white foot in front of his face. He casually put his suitcase down then he glanced at Lisa's toes and he laughed mischievously. 'You dare to bruise my face and let me greet your mum with a bruised face?'

Lisa used her strength to take two deep breaths and she retrieved her angry foot. She sat on the sofa, she imagined the peach she held in her hand was Jungkook's flesh and she bit into the peach.

Jungkook smiled brightly for a while at the sight of Lisa forcing herself to focus on the TV, she was doing her best to restrain her desire to attack his face. Then he walked to the bathroom.
