It was just a brief peck in her lips. It was exactly the same surprise flash kiss she’s always giving him, as though he just copied her way of kissing him to the point that the only difference was that he remained there looking at her and not running away.

W-what was that? D-did he just copied me?

Jungkook’s flash kiss was no doubt a perfect copy of hers and yet lisa felt that the feeling seemed to be entirely different now that he was the one who did it to her. Whenever she kisses him, lisa always felt hot and her heart flutters like crazy, however this time, the impact was on a higher level that she couldn’t even think properly. Her face just turned brightly red as though her entire blood all rushed up into her face.

She was shocked to the core. She never expected him to actually beat her in her own game that he even turned into a perfect copy-cat.

That moment, she remained stiffed as she struggles to find a word to say. She just felt as though she was tongue tied and her heartbeat was damn so loud.

Gladly, her phone was like a loud alarm clock that immediately awakened her from the great shock.

She finally snapped and she lifted her cellphone right away as she turned her gaze away from him.

"H-hello Ms. Lee?"

"I’ll wait for you at the usual café near city library, okay?"

"Ahh... yes ma’am, I’m about to leave."

As soon as the call ended, lisa didn’t looked back at him again. Not even a glance. She just said the words "see you later" and then she hastily walked away and entered the car. Leaving the masked man speechless and motionless as he watched the car until it disappeared.

"Ohoho, you did it! Pfft! You finally did it. You finally kissed her. Hahaha! How was it? How was it? How does your first time being the one who did the kiss and not being the one who was being kissed? Huh? Huh? C’mon tel---" jimin couldn’t continue his annoyingly playful and excited statement. It was because, for some reason, Jungkook’s dark aura suddenly blazed that he reflexively stepped back a few steps away from him.

H-huh? Why? What’s wrong? Did something wrong happen? Does kissing her didn’t please him? That’s impossible, right?!

"W-what’s wrong?"

"I think I just displeased her."

"H-huh?"

"She didn’t even glance back at me after I kissed her."

"E-eh... H-huh?!"

Jimin could only pinched the skin between his eyebrows. For heaven’s sake, this monster. How could he be such a pessimist? How could he just conclude she’s displeased because of that?

"Look Jungkook, how could you even say she’s displeased just by..." Jimin paused when a certain evil scheme popped out inside his brain, causing him to smile mischievously deep within. "Now that you mentioned it, her reaction is indeed seemed a bit off---"

Upon hearing him, once again, Jungkook’s dark aura intensified as he glared at him as though he’s telling him that following his damn advice was a big mistake.

That moment, jimin somehow felt danger so to escape his wrath, he could only give up his scheme and he began to coax him.

"Haha, stop overthinking things Jungkook, why are you becoming unbelievably dumb when it comes to her? Where’s your monstrous terrifying brain? You can’t just jump into conclusion just like that, maybe she was just shy enough to show you her expression, some girls are like that. They don’t really want to show their blushing face, sometimes. Yeah, I think she might just being shy."

"You think so?"

"Well, the only way to find out if I’m actually right is... just kiss her again."

"..."

"And afterwards, ask her if she really is displeased."

"..."

Meanwhile, lisa was still burying her face in her hands while the car kept speeding towards Blue City. She was still blushing. Her face, neck and ears were feeling impossibly hot that she fanned herself with her fingers.

Jungkook, you’re slowly becoming a natural flirt. You even copied me!

Lisa’s emotions were fighting each other. She was undeniably happy that he finally made a move on her but at the same time felt a bit disheartened because she knew that he only did it because she somewhat asked for it.

However, after few more moments of thinking, she realized she doesn’t need to feel disheartened about it after all. She thought that she must feel accomplished instead. Thus, she clenched her hand into determined fist.

Mm. Dear self, this is not the time to think negatively. Keep going, because this might be a huge step forward, this could even be what you’re waiting for.

...

At a certain café...

Lisa entered hastily and she instantly spotted the old lady sitting in the corner.

"I’m sorry ma’am."

"No, I just arrived. Have a sit."

After they ordered some drinks, the two immediately began their serious talk.

"Lisa, there’s actually a problem about A University," the teacher said.

And as soon as she heard her, lisa instantly felt anxious. A University was considered as Asia’s Harvard and it was her first choice. The university was ranked best in Asia and she really wanted to study there. That’s why, hearing there’s a problem made her felt quite nervous.

"I know A University is your first choice, and there’s no doubt you are capable to take one of the top spot and get a full scholarship but... the bad news is that, since last year, the university started requiring its scholars to live in the school. I know your brother is still young and I know you’ll never want to leave him. But this university is the best in Asia, so I want you to decide properly. I want you to think about your priority."

Hearing the teacher’s statement made lisa bit her lip. She was right, if she’ll live in the school, she couldn’t visit her brother whenever she wanted anymore, something that she definitely doesn’t want to happen. However, what made her even more speechless was when she told her to think about her priority. That moment, Jungkook instantly appeared in her head.

My priority, huh... I don’t even need to think about it anymore, right?

That moment, lisa could only smile. She realized that her life was indeed not the same anymore. If someone would ask her about her priority two months ago, she would answer, her brother. And if Jungkook didn’t came to her life and someone would ask her priority this moment, she would definitely answer, her dream. However, lisa’s life already changed ever since she met him and she was well aware of it. She decided that whatever happens, she will keep her promise with him.

And to keep that promise, she has to give up A University.

"I’m sorry Ms. Lee. I’m giving up A University. I will target XiZe University instead."
