Chapter 26

Lisa is quiet.

She doesn't dare to look at Jungkook. She is nervous. She is rather slow in responding. Then the screen shows "GAME OVER".

The room is peaceful, there's only a back-sound game, which sounds happy.

The atmosphere is strange.

Lisa watches Jungkook. He was still holding his console.

She feels that she shouldn't mention about this.

Lisa's mind goes blank. She starts to stuff the watermelon inside her mouth. In this season, the watermelon isn't sweet. It's juicy but tasteless. It's not very delicious. She slowly chews it and finds it's a bit tough to swallow. She then says, "I also said those words to my Ge Ge."

Jungkook stops.

"My friends' Ge Ge also has a girlfriend." Lisa puts back the fork on the plate. She is calm. "But the girlfriend isn't treating my friend well. So Ge Ge, don't have a girlfriend."

Jungkook looks at her and says, "Why isn't she treating your friend well?"

Lisa explains, "It seems that her Ge Ge is good towards her, so she is unhappy."

"Really?"

"Yes." Lisa starts to find a reason. She explains dully, "If you have a girlfriend, you wouldn't treat me well again."

"Little kid, why are you thinking so far ahead?" Jungkook says, "Maybe several years after not meeting Ge Ge, you will forget Ge Ge fully."

Lisa says nothing.

Jungkook puts back the console on the table, "Ge Ge that time will find a good one."

"....."

"The one that will treat little Lali well too." Jungkook smiles gently and says, "Okay? I'll find one that will treat you well."

Lisa looks at the watermelon on the plate and nods, "Okay."

After a while, she adds forcefully. "That time you should let me take a look first."

Indeed Jimin returns in less than thirty minutes.

Looking at this, Lisa doesn't stay inside his bedroom anymore, she finds a reason to go back to her bedroom.

When Lisa comes out again, Jimin takes off his coat and asks, "What time does your part-time job start?"

"Almost." Jungkook asks, "Where are you going?"

"I have a friend nearby." Jimin lays down on the bed and looks at his phone, "Eating out but forgot the money. So I went there to help to pay."

"Em."

He starts to tidy up his things. "Then I'll leave first."

"Em."

He stands up and suddenly thinks of a matter. He asks, "Jimin, let me ask you about something."

"Ask me."

"Your dongsaeng–" Jungkook stops for a while to think.

"What happened to my dongsaeng?" Jimin is not a patient man, "Just ask, don't dillydally."

Jungkook just finishes his words. "Has your dongsaeng ever mentioned you to not date anyone?"

"Ah?" Jimin thinks about it, "She has."

"...."

"During my first year of senior high school, My Pa Ma thought that I dated early." Jimin scratches his head. "That time she was just eight years old, she cried so hard."
