Chapter 16 – Rabbit's ear and shoes

When Lisa got onto the car she'd already saved this address.

Most people love to shop at malls, there's plenty of brands there and the things tend to be of better quality. Lisa wasn't most people though, and she preferred these little streets instead.

And Jungkook, this one was completely out of touch with even the idea of shopping.

If he had the time, he'd rather run a few more rounds, but he did see that little spark in Lisa's eyes.

It's just shopping...

Lisa looked all around her as she walked out of the shop and went straight into the little stall opposite the chiropractor's and came back with two Cornettos.

She held the two in front of Jungkook and asked, "Do you prefer chocolate or strawberry?"

Jungkook's frown deepened, the distaste obvious on his face.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the person in front was staring at the chocolate flavoured cone on the right, as if afraid that he'd choose it.

In a blink of an eye, her right hand was empty.

The guy took away the chocolate cornetto, saying, "Let's go."

Lisa was speechless.

The ice cream was a childhood memory. When he ate it again, the flavour had improved plenty; Jungkook took a bite, the icinesss spreading in his mouth.

Thinking about Lisa's basket of vegetables when eating out with him, Jungkook reminded her. "There's plenty of calories in ice cream."

Lisa instinctively pursed her lips. "I know that."

She unwrapped her ice cream, but didn't eat it – instead, she took a picture with her phone.

It's uncertain whether she intended for the other's shoes to show up in the frame.

After taking the photo, Lisa scooped out as much ice cream as her little spoon could take and threw the rest into the rubbish bin by the road. Then she pulled her mask down and, carefully, started licking the ice cream on the spoon.

Jungkook wanted to laugh, but looking at the way she was eating, even his own ice cream started tasting better.

Lisa asked, "Was that chiropractor just now your friend?"

"Yeah."

"He's an ex comrade too?"

"No," Jungkook said. "We met outside of camp."

"During a mission?"

She had really guessed it.

The master's previous clinic was their little town's biggest shop, with plenty of students and a reputation for being really good at what they did. Plenty of people from the city would willingly make a trip to go find him for a massage. No thanks to a landslide, not only was the clinic gone, but the people were also trapped inside.

It's fortunate that they weren't there for long before they were saved, with Jungkook being the leader of that search and rescue team.

However, Jungkook didn't answer her and Lisa didn't continue asking. After finishing her ice cream she pulled her mask back on.

They were both really tall, which, together with Jungkook's rather out-of-place suit, made sure they really stood out in the crowd.

They passed a shop selling ornaments.
