After Lisa returned home, she actually felt some regret.
With a traditional doctor in the family, from many perspectives, it was a great thing, especially the timely access to medical care, medicine, and treatment, these kinds of things.
However.
Lisa now understood that traditional medicine wasn’t just acupuncture and drinking medicine. Traditional medicine could also treat traumatic injuries, and also included medicinal oil massage.
“Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa… ouch!” Lisa, lying on the sofa, couldn’ help but yelp: “Don’t rub it! Ouch, so painful ah! Can’t it heal on its own…”
Grandpa Manoban ignored her request, his hands not stopping, “What do you know. If we don’t massage your muscles here, you will be waiting for half a month for it to heal.”
Lisa knew that there was no room for maneuvering. She felt bursts of pain then itchiness then numbness. Occasionally, when he hit a sore spot, she felt it travel all the way up her spine. She moved her foot, and still couldn’t help but mutter: “… This is too uncomfortable ah.”
Lisa was lying on the sofa. It came to her that she couldn’t go tutor Eunha tomorrow, so she took out her phone and sent a message to both Eunha and her mother.
At this time on a Friday, eunha shouldn’t be studying, and she replied back quickly. Concerned, she sent a bunch of emojis wishing her a speedy recovery.
Lisa laughed at the sight of them, and also returned a few emojis.
Eunha talked about school, her high school sports competition, cultural party, and she mentioned the older brother a year her senior she’d brought up previously.
Lisa was reading with great interest when she suddenly heard her grandfather’s question.
“That classmate of yours, he’s coming on Sunday. Did you know?”
“… Eh?” She was confused for a moment: “Which classmate of mine?”
“Just the one,” Grandpa Manoban’s expression was a little squirmy, “What other classmate do you have? The one who came for acupuncture, the not bad looking young man-“
Grandpa didn’t finish his sentence, when Grandma, who was watching TV beside them, heard him. She turned her head to look at the two, her eyes shining: “Oh! Lili’s classmate is coming again!”
Grandpa: “…”
Grandpa’s hands stopped moving and turned his head to look at the old lady who suddenly became excited: “If he comes, he comes. What are you so excited about?”
“That’s Lili’s classmate. Why can’t I be excited?”
“You’re not acting this way because of that, you’re…”
“…”
From the side, Lisa slightly raised his head, quietly slipped her hand behind the chaise longue, and opened WeChat to find Jungkook.
The two’s text history had ended two hours ago when she asked him if he’d gotten back to school yet.
It wasn’t convenient for Lisa to use voice to text. She could only slowly type: Senior, why does my Grandpa know that you’re coming on Sunday?
After some thought, she added an expression: O-O?
The other person replied back quickly.
[Jeon Jungkook]: Yeah. Because I had to get medicine after the last acupuncture, I got Grandpa Manoban’s WeChat.
… But this wasn’t the point ah!
Lisa once again typed: Then what are you coming for?
This time, he didn’t instantly reply.
Seeing that her grandparents’ little argument was coming to an end, Lisa put on her slippers, went around on one foot behind the sofa and hopped back into her room.
While closing the door, her phone vibrated.
[Jeon Jungkook]: I’ve been quite tired lately.
What? Tired?
What did that have to do with telling Grandpa?
Before she could type her question, another message came from him.
[Jeon Jungkook]: So I’m going to find your grandfather for cupping.
Lisa: “…” Cupping???
She sat on the edge of her bed and thought for a minute.
On Friday, he said he would send her back to school on Sunday. Could it be that he was… using this as an excuse?
The last time Jungkook came for acupuncture, she still remembered his eyes instantly widening the second he saw her grandfather reveal the needles.
How could he take the initiative ask for cupping oh…
The phone in her hand buzzed again.
He sent another message: Is it convenient to call?
She froze for a moment before typing: Convenient.
Practically at the same time, the screen lit up with [Jeon Jungkook invites you to a voice call].
She immediately picked up: “Hello, senior.”
“Mm,” The background noise on his end was a little noisy, like he was outdoors. “After I go for cupping, you can conveniently go with me, so there’s no need for them to send you.”
Lisa had just thought, was it possible that he wanted to come for cupping because he was looking for a reason to come to her house?
Sure enough, ah… he really was.
“Senior…” She kind of wanted to laugh, and felt a little touched; her mood was very complicated, “Um, don’t come for cupping. I’ve gotten cupping before, and it’s really painful. If you aren’t actually very sick, don’t try it. “
“…” He didn’t speak.
“Really, I can tell Grandpa that you’re coming to take me back to school. He’ll surely-“
“Lisa.”
Her words were suddenly interrupted. When she heard him calling her name, she replied with an “uh-huh”.
The other side continued, “It’s okay. I’m not afraid of pain.”
It seemed like he was in a good mood. When he said these words, she could imagine his expression.
He was smiling.
She didn’t answer and he said another sentence, his smiliness more apparent in this sentence than in the previous one, “Don’t you worry.”
Hearing these words.
Lisa could feel her face start to heat up rapidly.
What worry?
Who was worried???
She stood up on one foot from the bed and spoke into the microphone, “Then you can come. Goodbye, senior.”
After quickly dropping these two sentences, she hung up the phone immediately.
