Jungkook stood in the room that was so dusty that he would sneeze when inhaling, grunted and gave a faint smile. His eyes were sad, however. “I’ve seen everything. I can’t believe that my Lali is such a Janus-faced girl. You were unwilling to call me, even though you missed me so much.”

When Lalisa heard Jungkook’s voice, her heart felt sour as well and she said softly, “I have my pride, okay?” The girl who had her pride completely forgot that she had been determined to ignore Jungkook for a week just now.

Jungkook smiled. “Huh?”

Lalisa knew what Jungkook meant. She curled up her lips, turned down the TV and whispered, “Unfortunately, all that damned pride disappeared after I saw you again and heard your story.”

A complicated gleam flickered across Jungkook’s eyes. “Thank you for letting all your pride disappear.”

Listening to Jungkook’s voice, Lalisa felt warm in her heart and her ears turned red. “It seems like it’s the first time you’ve said ‘I love you’ to me,” she said in a low voice.

“No.” Jungkook smiled. “I’ve said it so many times.”

“No, it’s the first time you’ve said this to me. I confessed my love to you, but you didn’t confess your love to me.” Lalisa lowered her eyes and her face was all red. “Say it to me again.”

Jungkook chuckled. “No, you haven’t said that to me either. Next time we meet, you say it to me and I’ll say to you.”

Lalisa curled her lips and complained, “No, I’m a girl. I’m too shy to say that!”

“I remember you once said that shyness is bullshit,” Jungkook said. He looked up and happened to see a cartoon on the wall that depicted how Lalisa said ‘I love you’ to him. He laughed, but soon the smile on his face disappeared and he whispered, “Lali, I love you, so don’t leave me again. Stay by my side for the rest of my life.”

He had been thinking that he had paid more than Lali for their love, but now he knew that Lali had paid no less than him, perhaps even more. He didn’t remember the dribs and drabs when they were together, but Lali remembered every single detail clearly and even depicted this period of time in the form of a cartoon.

In the past, every time Lalisa asked Jungkook to say those three words to her, he always refused. However, when she pouted unhappily, Jungkook would give her a marshmallow. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help cracking a smile as she whispered, “I love you too. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you until now.”

She remembered the words she once spoke to Jungkook. “Since you like me so much and I happen to find you pleasing to my eyes, why don’t we get together?”

Back then, she had thought Jungkook would likely call her a lunatic and throw her out, but Jungkook had looked at her seriously for two minutes before giving a nod and saying, “Okay, then let’s get together.”

At that moment, she had felt she was truly lucky to have Jungkook and now she knew that becoming Jungkook’s girlfriend was the luckiest thing that ever happened in her life.

They immersed themselves in this sweet moment. Suddenly, Lalisa saw the news broadcast on TV, which was about Jeon’s International Group formally inviting Designer Qin Yeri, one of the most talented designers in China, to join them to design the latest season’s fashion collection. Lalisa narrowed his eyes and asked Jungkook, “Are you still in my room?”

Jungkook grunted in response and Lalisa pursed her lips as she continued speaking. “In the second drawer of my room, there are design drawings I’ve painted in the last two years. There are also two USB flash disks in the top closet of my cloakroom in the upstairs room…” Hearing this, Jungkook frowned and asked, “Do you want me to bring them to you?”
