Taehyung: “… Fu*k you! Does that make any difference? Does it make any difference?!”

Lalisa couldn’t help laughing when she heard Taehyung’s growl. Jungkook was just teasing him.

However, Jungkook didn’t feel guilty at all. He glanced at Lalisa, intimately touched the tip of her nose and then replied to Taehyung, “There is a difference.” If Min Lisa was not Kwon Lalisa, he would not even look at Min Lisa, no matter how beautiful she was.

Lalisa held her chin in one hand, while her other hand was held by Jungkook. With a satisfied smile on her face, she said, “Stop it. I’m hungry. I’ll have to go home after the meal.”

Upon hearing that she was going home after the meal, Jungkook frowned. Lalisa was going to explain to him why when her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, showed her cell phone to Jungkook and then answered the phone. “Mom.”

Hearing Lalisa’s voice, Yeji sounded relieved as she asked, “Lili, where are you now? Why didn’t I see you at the school gate?”

Lalisa curled her lip as she winked at Jungkook, grabbed her schoolbag and walked towards the outside. “I took a taxi and forgot to tell you. Please go home, Mom.”

Jungkook hung up the call with Taehyung unhappily, grabbed the hat and mask on the table to wear them, and then followed Lalisa out to send her back. Looking at his unhappy face, Lalisa couldn’t help saying, “I didn’t know that you would come to pick me up, and neither did I know that Mom would go over to do the same.”

Listening to Lalisa’s explanation, Jungkook still drew a long face and continued to drive sullenly. Lalisa looked at him and could not help recalling how he was when he was in Long Beach. She reached out to hold his hand and then said softly, “Don’t be angry, okay? I really didn’t know my mom went to pick me up.”

Jungkook took a look at Lalisa and he didn’t wave away her hand, but he still looked angry as if saying: I’m in a bad mood. Don’t mess with me. Lalisa sighed and asked tenderly, “Then what do you want me to do?”

“After you go back, find an excuse to sneak out and have dinner with me,” replied Jungkook, glancing at her. “You promised me.”

Lalisa was afraid that she couldn’t do as he asked her, but when she looked into his eyes, she could not help nodding and saying, “Okay, then don’t be angry.”

Jungkook smiled secretly, looked at Lalisa from the side and raised an eyebrow. “Really?”

“Yes, trust me!” Lalisa looked at Jungkook with a smile, only to find that his face had changed so fast that she almost thought he had just been acting. It was a pity that he didn’t become an actor.

Jungkook gripped Lalisa’s hand as he pulled over the car at the traffic light intersection, gazed at her and said in a low voice, “If you hadn’t become Min Lisa, I would never have let you leave me. So Lali, please understand me, okay?”

When he heard the news of her death, he thought that if he saw her again, he would never, ever let her leave him. He was not stealing her out of the Min Family because he was trying his best to control himself as he continued warning himself that if he did that, it would hurt her, so he didn’t impulsively confine her around him.

Jungkook’s words stunned Lalisa. She put his hand to her lips and kissed it softly through the mask, and her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, “I know. I know it has been really hard for you recently.”

At the time when her soul became weak, she returned to the place where she died and saw how sad he was, and then she saw how he was desperate in Long Beach, so how could she not understand him? Even she felt that she should be by his side all the time, but she could not do that now because she was not just Kwon Lalisa; she was also Min Lisa. She had to bear the responsibilities of both identities.
