Chapter 12 – The chase begins

He pursed his lips, taking a few steps to stand in front of her. Looking down he could see that her right ankle was wrapped in a lot of white bandages, but it was mostly covered by her dress. Enough that if he wasn't looking carefully, he wouldn't have spotted it.

After noticing what he was looking at, Lisa explained. "Today, I sprained my ankle at work."

Jungkook asked, "Can you walk?"

Lisa went along with it, shaking her head and pitifully saying, "If I move, it hurts."

Jungkook stretched out an arm.

Lisa finally got to touch his hand.

It felt even better than she'd imagined. Hard, steady, giving her a sense of safety and stability just holding it.

A few steps later Jungkook slowed down. "There's plenty of people in there, bend your head down."

Lisa obediently lowered her head into Jungkook's shoulder. Jungkook didn't have any smell, just the dry cleaning scent left on the suit.

The people at the seat stared wide-eyed at the two people walking over.

Lisa was already a little experienced with meeting Jungkook's friend. She smiled as sat down. "Hi, I'm Jungkook's friend."

Crew cut let out an 'oh'. "Heard of you, heard of you, that one with really high alcohol tolerance?"

"My tolerance is actually pretty low," Lisa said, humbly. Noticing that this crew cut guy was a little unfamiliar, she asked, "Were you there that day?"

"No, I heard them say so," Crew cut said, as he laughed. "They said she has long legs and is really pretty. I took one look and knew it's you."

Lisa smiled even more sweetly.

Jungkook then asked, "How did you know I was here?"

Lisa glanced at Taehyung, who gave her a look.

She coughed once. "It's just coincidence, coincidence."

"..."

Just when she finished speaking, the waiter brought up a few lobsters.

Lisa looked at the lobster bigger than her face and found her mouth watering.

On the table the phone lit up, Jungkook instinctively glanced at it before realising that it was not his phone.

[Old Witch: When you're sleeping don't put pressure on your leg, remember what you're not supposed to eat, tomorrow I...]

He didn't see anything after that.

Lisa swallowed her saliva, picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of... carrot.

She was about to put it in her mouth when she felt a familiar warmth on her hand and someone pressed her hand back.

Lisa paused. "What is it?"

Jungkook looked at the lobster meat surrounding the carrot and said, "Don't eat that."

"Hey, why aren't you letting her eat." Taehyung, sitting across from them, looked completely befuddled. "Don't be too polite, eat as much as you want. Oh right, can we exchange contacts?"

Lisa placed down her chopsticks. "Alright." It's unclear who she was answering.

Throughout the meal, all Lisa did was sip at the water and listen to Crew cut making small talk with Taehyung. Jungkook occasionally cut in a few sentences and occasionally glanced at her.
