Jennie’s question made lisa fell silent for a long time. It was because she really never once thought about it before. She was aware that she really likes Jungkook so much, but she really never thinks about her falling in love with him yet. Thus, at that moment, lisa didn’t know what to say. Rather, she just asked herself deep within. I-i’m in love...?

Meanwhile, the moment Jennie realized her silence, she decided to make lisa answer her right away. She originally wanted to hear about it when they finally meet but her silence just made her so curious that she couldn’t wait anymore. However, Jennie decided to go easy on her because she was aware that lisa was considered a level one novice when it comes to understanding romance. She’s been watching her since high school and she knew that lisa was always been the cool type beauty who never showed any interest in boys. She’s always been kind with girls but she’s always glaring with boys as if she had such grudge against them. Even though her attitude towards boys back then, was just her façade to drive them away from her.

Jennie even recalled that not even the so called number one campus heartthrob who was now a top idol manage to catch her attention. It was because back then, lisa was like a goddess that never had any interest in any mortal man. No one could even begin to conquer her no matter what kind of tricks they use on her. And Jennie knew that the reason was not actually because she’s too busy, it’s just that lisa just didn’t have any interest in romance, and it’s just that no one could make her heart skips a beat those times.

That was why, Jennie was curious about this mysterious man who manage to steal her heart without her even realizing it. And if she will confirm that lisa is indeed fallen for him, she definitely needs to meet this man to know just what kind of man was the one that actually made her fall in love.

Thus, that moment, she began.

"Okay lisa dear... listen, all you have to do is answer yes or no, you get it?"

"Hm? O-okay..."

"Question number one, do you always wanted to be with him?" she asked but before lisa could even answer, Jennie continued asking her series of questions without even giving her the chance to react.

"Do you always find yourself staring at him? Do you always think about him? Do you care about him? Do you think his smile was the cutest thing in the world? Do you worry about him more than yourself? Does your heart skip a beat when you’re around him? Are you willing to try new things for him? Is he the person you think about first when everything else is rough? Are you comfortable around him? Do you feel safe when you’re with him? Are you actually entertained by his childhood photos or stories? Do you feel like you just love everything about him? Are you actually attracted with all his quicks and strangeness? And finally... Do you miss him as soon as he leaves?"

After Jennie’s seemingly endless questions, lisa just gripped her cellphone and no word came out of her mouth. It was because she was actually dumbstruck that she forgot to answer her.

"If your answer in most of those questions were yes, then, congratulations my dear, you’re fallen in love." Jennie added and when the girl on the other side still didn’t talk, a smile carved in her face as though she already heard her answer. "Okay, the night is already too deep and I’m so tired with the whole trip, I’ll wait for you and your man in the usual café tomorrow. Don’t you dare show up without him, you get it?" she continued before she finally ended the call.

Right after Jennie ended the call, lisa’s brain began replaying those questions while her memories with him and her feelings towards him was answering each single one of them with solid yes. And in the end, she realized she actually didn’t need to ask herself all. Causing her to only put her hands into her face.

That moment, lisa began to feel unfamiliar feelings emerging inside her. She felt as though, all the feelings she was ignoring like nothing before all appeared at once making her felt she started soaring above the clouds.

Until the cellphone in her hand suddenly beeped and awakened her. She immediately looked at it thinking that it was another mail from Jennie but to her surprise, it was actually Mr. Park who just messaged her.

She opened it right away and a photo of Jungkook leaning on the door’s frame like a perfect statue as he gazes outside appeared. That moment, lisa couldn’t help but smile brightly and the moment she read the caption, she coughed as she suddenly felt like she just wanted to teleport beside him right away.

[A certain lifeless statue waiting for his wife to come home is about to turn into some gloomy scarecrow.]

Meanwhile, at Gray mansion...

Jimin was sitting lazily and looking tired on the sofa. He was watching the gloomy guy who was still having such a sour mood because of the fact that he was not allowed to go and fetch his wife this time.

He was actually standing there for a
long time now. He didn’t talk nor moved a single inch as though he was dead robot programmed to watch the door.

’Ahh... please your highness, comeback home. It’s only you who could bring this guy to life.’ jimin whispered to himself and to his surprise, the man suddenly moved as soon as he uttered those words.

Jungkook lifted his hand and jimin could tell that he just received a message. It was his personal cellphone, so it only means it was from his one and only redeemer, his wife.

However, as jimin looked at him, his brows knitted when suddenly, the man strode towards him with such an unbelievably fast pace.

’Wait... could it be that, there’s trouble again?’ jimin uttered as he stood. However, what happened next just made his shoulders fell dramatically and he could only sit again weakly.

Jungkook showed him his cellphone while looking so troubled. And the moment jimin looked at the screen, five big dots appeared invisibly above his head. It was because what Jungkook was showing him was just a sticker of a gray gloomy looking animated cat sent by his wife.

"...?"

Jimin just looked at him. He just actually doesn’t get why he’s suddenly showing such thing to him, until the man finally talked.

"What is this thing? Is this some sort of secret message or a code? She just sent me this out of nowhere."

Upon hearing him, jimin suddenly fell speechless, that he didn’t even know where to begin.

Code my ass. God, this monster. I understand you’re not even interested in social media, I know you don’t even have a single account in any social platforms and that you don’t even glance at any of it but... yeah, THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH DAMN IT!

Jimin was erupting deep within him and yet he could only laugh it off. It was because he knew more than anyone else why this man was so damn ignorant with all these things.

"Haha... that thing is not a code or something. It’s used to show the senders feeling. You get it?"

"So this mean she’s sad... why?"

"How should I know?" Just ask her damn it.

Jungkook then decided to ask her, but before he could dial her number, another message arrived. This time, it was the same cat but was looking excited as it runs. And before Jungkook could even react, another one arrived. It was the same cat again, however, it was just standing while holding a gift box.

"Tap it." Jimin said and a second after he tapped it a banner with the words ’I Miss You’ popped out, causing Jungkook to fell frozen as his eyes was just glued unto it.
