Jungkook was silent for a moment and then bowed his head to chuckle.

Being laughed at like this by him, Lisa became embarrassed. She cared about the strawberries, though, because after picking them, she would need to pay money...

"Eh, I'm sorry..." She returned the strawberry to the basket and smiled apologetically at Jungkook.

The corners of his mouth rose into a smile. He looked at her and said, "It's okay, it was my bad. I should be more serious when picking strawberries."

Lisa: "..."

Jungkook really did as he had said and taken strawberry picking more seriously. He held one in his hand and lifted it up for Lisa to see.

"How about this? It's not too small yet not too big, and the colour is uniform. On a scale of attractiveness, it's 100%."

"...Mhmm, pretty good."

Jungkook smiled and plucked it, placing it into his basket. Because Lisa had changed the subject, he also no longer monitored his words.

Instead, he bluntly said to her, "Back then in the dining hall, when you had suddenly brought up my parents, I had really been somewhat angry, but I was angrier at myself afterwards for speaking without thinking the matter through and telling you that Jun Ji Hyun wasn't my mother. Although she really isn't my mother, that is a secret of the Jeon Family. Jeon Jiho had always told outsiders that I am Ji Hyun's eldest son..."

Jungkook spoke all of this in one breath. He then continued to say, "I arrived at Jeon Mansion when I was already seven years old. My father said that, because I was born with an unhealthy body, I had stayed abroad to receive treatment the entire time."

He smiled mockingly. "I don't know how much of this excuse others believed, but no one performed an in-depth investigation. People treated me with the same courtesy as if they were actually treating the eldest son of the Jeon Family. People of the business world are so hypocritical."

Lisa slightly pursed her lips, not knowing if she should say something. As a child, she had felt that if her family had been wealthy, she wouldn't have experienced so much suffering, but the fact was that even a wealthy family like the Jeon Family could have other sufferings.

Jungkook remained quiet for a long time before he said with a steady voice, "My mom, she died the year I turned seven years old..."

Lisa suddenly grabbed his hand. "Don't say anymore."

Jungkook tilted his head to look at her. Lisa exhaled lightly and said, "It must be very agonizing to remember it, right? You don't need to force yourself to recall those memories again."

Jungkook's eyes glimmered with watery light. Shortly after, he finally realized that they were holding hands. He looked at Lisa, slightly hesitant. "You're...touching me."

Lisa only just seemed to realize that their bodies happened to be touching each other. It was of her own volition too. Seeing that her expression was strange, Jungkook eased the mood by chuckling.
