Chapter 24

Jungkook bends his body and looks into her eyes. "For me?"

Lisa feels that the words, "For me?" sounds improper so she says lightly, "I'm returning it to you."

Jungkook wants to say more but he notices Jimin's expression. He just shifts his attention and smiles, "Okay."

Jungkook just takes the money and says leisurely, "Thank you dongsaeng for giving Ge Ge money to spend."

On the other side.

"Ay, Jimin ah, why do I feel like she is Guk's dongsaeng...." Hoseok notices Jimin's mood changing, so he stops. He pats Jimin's shoulder, "Just forget it."

"...."

—-

Four of them go back to Keimyung University's gate and separate. Jimin with Lisa, and Jungkook with Hoseok.

Lisa bites her last strawberry and watches Jungkook leave. After a while, she looks at Jimin's hostile expression.

She feels a bit guilty so she immediately asks, ".... what?"

Jimin just ignores her and stops a taxi blankly.

They both get on the taxi and sit down silently.

The driver is a middle-aged uncle, he looks at both of them and asks happily, "The brother and sister duo are fighting ah?"

Lisa is startled. "No ah."

She looks at Jimin and blinks. She couldn't help to say, "It does look like that."

"...."

"Uncle, before...." Lisa mumbles. "My Ge asked me to treat him a stick of strawberry crystal sugar, I just gave him the money and asked him to buy himself. But he didn't buy it so I asked him to return the money to me. Then he got angry."

The driver seems to disapprove of Jimin's actions. "Ah? Little man, you are wrong to do that."

Jimin acts like that he doesn't hear it, he takes out his earphones.

"....."

Looking at his behavior, Lisa feels something is wrong.

It's just a five dollar, why is he upset?

Pa Ma recently didn't give him money to spend?"

She hesitates for a while but she doesn't want to have a 'cold war' with him. She just takes out her five dollars and puts it on his hand reluctantly, "For you, okay?"

Jimin takes off his earphone and asks, "Do I look like I want your money?"

"Oh." Lisa looks at him for two seconds and puts it inside her pocket again.

"Little devil, go and think by yourself," Jimin laughs. "Have you ever given your Ge, your biological Ge money to spend?"

Lisa shakes her head and says seriously, "But you usually take it by yourself right?"

Jimin: "...."

"Last year, during the winter vacation when you bought a console," Lisa says slowly. "You were short of two hundred dollars right, then you stole it from my red pocket."

"You have a really thick red pocket." Jimin doesn't feel guilty. "How do you know that I took it?"

"Even if you take one dollar, I will know it."

"....."

"I don't want to fight with you."

"...." Jimin asks, "then why did you give Jungkook twenty dollars?"
