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

"But you know that XiZe is the hardest school to enter right? And their standard is too high. To avail the full scholarship, you have to get a score of 99% to 100% in their exam. And you might already know this but in XiZe’s history, the test is too hard that there’s only around ten people who manage to score 99% for the past decades. I know you’re capable but, it’s still risky."

"I will try my best ma’am." Lisa understood that getting the scholarship in a school of gifted people was bloody hell. The school was the strictest when it comes to choosing a scholar, but also gives the best initiatives. She even heard that availing the full scholarship in XiZe was the same as being the school’s VIP. Thus, her resolve to challenge herself and pursue her dream just won’t let her give up.

"Sigh... This girl. I knew you will say that."

"Thank you."

"That’s why I called you to come personally. Since you decided to target XiZe, you have to work even harder. Come, I want you to meet someone."

Ms. Lee then brought lisa into a city lab and introduced her to an old professor, Mr. Zheng. She said his student was the one who aced XiZe’s entrance test two years ago, making him the perfect coach for her.

As soon as the teacher left her, the genius looking old scientist wasted no time and began loading her with tremendous knowledge that excited her and at the same time drained her stamina quite lethally. He even made her work and helped him on his experiments while he was discussing nonstop, as though she immediately turned into his newly hired assistant.
Well, she really doesn’t mind. She was just way too impressed on how good the old man was. She could even say that he was the smartest professor she ever met in her life.

"Anyway, how old are you?" the old man asked.

"Nineteen,"

"What’s your IQ?"

"Err... I actually don’t know professor, I stopped taking IQ test when I’m 12."

"Come back here the day after tomorrow, I will give you a test."

"Yes, thank you very much."

"You can now leave."

"Yes prof, thank you for today."

After taking off her white coat and gloves, lisa finally left the lab. And after a while, she was standing in the pathway as she looked at her wrist watch. She held her nape when she saw It was already deep at night.

She then hastily raised her hand to call for a taxi when a black car quietly stopped in front of her. Lisa tilted her head and looked at it when it opened.

She immediately stepped back but when she saw the familiar silhouette inside, she blinked and her face brightened before she hastily entered the car.

"How did you find me?" she immediately asked.

"Jackson"

"O-oh I see." Jackson was the one who drove her in the morning but she thought he already left when she’s still at the cafe. Lisa was a bit tired for almost standing the whole day, following the old professor everywhere he goes as she listened intently at him and helping him at the same time, so she didn’t ask further anymore.

"Is everything alright?"

"Hm?"

"You look tired."

"Ahh... yeah, I met a really merciless great master," she replied and Jungkook’s aura instantly turned cold. Realizing his sudden coldness, lisa immediately explained what she meant. "Err... I mean, merciless in teaching. He is good, and I learned a lot," she continued and Jungkook’s dark aura immediately subsided.

"Uhh... I decided to attend XiZe. So my exam was postponed till next week."

"Mm. Good luck."

Hearing the word good luck, both of them remembered the kiss this morning and they both went silent, causing lisa to reflexively shift her gaze away from him.

At that moment, lisa went silent as her thoughts began to wander deep within.

She began to think about Jungkook’s treatment towards her. Apart from that night he told her to seduce him, Jungkook never asked any other thing from her, not even her time. He never ordered or demanded her to do anything for him as well. Instead, he just let her do as she pleased, even supporting her with her plans. Jungkook is always been so good to her that she sometimes thought that he is actually her guardian angel, a heaven-sent.

And thinking about it made lisa felt a certain inexplicable feeling. Jungkook already became more than just a part of her life. Before she knew it, he already became so precious to her that she wanted to just fly to the sky and give all the stars to him. She wanted to give him the best of her.

Because of that, although she was a bit tired, she started thinking about how to compensate him the best way possible. She wanted to make up for the times she spent for herself. And she wanted it to be much better than all the other moves she did before.

Time passed and she thought about taking him out again for another date. But as she thinks about it, she was shocked herself when she realized that they still never had a real and proper date. She remembered that their first date was actually a disaster, and the
second was a mess, causing her to slap her own forehead in her imagination.

However, that same moment, lisa has decided. She decided to ask him out and give him the most romantic date ever. Thus, inside her brain, she started making a plan as she stared blankly outside the car’s window. Her concentration was intense, as if she was a military lady general simulating numbers of strategies in her head all at once. She was too focused that she didn’t even realize that a long time already went by.

Not even realizing that the man beside her is getting stiffer the longer she stayed silent.

Jungkook’s aura was slowly getting colder as he kept glancing at her. He was thinking deep. This is the first time, lisa ignored him like this. She usually glances at him occasionally with a bright smile even when they were both not saying anything at all. However, this time lisa didn’t even turned her head towards him again. She just seemed as though, she just forgot about his existence. Causing Jungkook to feel an unbelievable discomfort that he never felt before.

Until finally, they arrived at Gray Mansion.

And the moment lisa stepped out the car, she immediately rushed inside, and went straight to the comfort room.

However, Jungkook who didn’t know a thing about why she just immediately rushed towards the house without even looking at him or saying anything, turned even more stiffened. His already cold aura turned way darker that jimin who was already at the door walked back to him.

"What is it again?" he asked curiously.

"She’s ignoring me."

"..." Jimin could only sigh. However, he couldn’t blame him because even him did noticed lisa’s unusual silence. Jimin knew that every time Jungkook was beside her, lisa always looks ecstatic, so it’s strange to see her being quiet and serious. "Well, maybe she’s just tired."

"Are you sure this isn’t because I kissed her?"

"Huh? Hey, you’re imagining things."

"She never ignored me like this before."

"..." Jimin sighed again and he started complaining deep within. She just ignored you for a mere forty-five minutes straight and you’re like this?! Why is this monster-turned-human always turned annoyingly so innocently fragile and ignorant when it comes to his wife? Someone please help me smack him hard.

"Okay then, if you’re that anxious about it, just go find it out yourself. I’m sure the misunderstanding will be cleared if you do that. Just go kiss her again and ask. As easy as that," he said but Jungkook just glared at him as though he was telling him he wouldn’t trust his damn advises anymore.
