For the next few days, Lalisa continuously traveled to take pictures so she did not hear anything more about the interview with Yeri. She already spoke to Lao Bai to change jobs so she would not have anything to do with it anymore.

The shooting completed relatively smoothly that day. Thus, Lalisa returned to the office rather early. When she was washing her hands in the toilet, she was pulled aside by Soohyun and several female colleagues to gossip.

“Lisa, your elite men’s interviews might not go ahead.”

“Why?”

“Yeri did not even get to meet her famous subject and was rejected immediately. She is made a laughing stock now. Initially, she talked with so much arrogance but is now humiliated.” Soohyun’s tone sounded a little like she was rejoicing in other people’s misfortune.

“Yes ah, I heard she called the law firm, but it was answered by his assistant, who gave the excuse that lawyer Jeon is sick.”

“Sick?” Initially, Lalisa was about to walk out, but when she heard this, she stopped walking, “Is it true?”

“It is certainly false. I saw him on a TV program yesterday.”

Such program was usually recorded in advance. So was Jungkook really sick?

She still felt uneasy while sitting in the office. Then, she laughed at herself. Lalisa, in what capacity can you show concern for him now? Lalisa ridiculed herself over and over.

“Lisa, your call!” Lao Bai transferred the call to her, “This person seems to have called twice in the morning.”

“Okay, I’ll answer it.” Lalisa picked up the phone: “Hello, how are you?”

“Are you Lalisa?” The gentle voice of a man echoed from the other end of the phone, “I am Min Yoongi.”

She met with Yoongi in a cafe called ‘Silent World’ which is situated in the eastern side of the city.

After briefly greeting each other, Yoongi said: “It is not easy to look for you, but luckily Jungkook mentioned you work as a photographer in a magazine publisher.”

Seeing Lalisa looking at him with a stunned face, Yoongi smiled: “What kind of expression is that? Is it very strange for Jungkook to mention you? Actually, Jungkook did not say anything, but it was Kim Namjoon, a middle-aged gossipy man. Hence, a bit of information was dug up……” For some reason, Yoongi became uncomfortable.

The waiter came and handed them the menu.

After ordering drinks, Yoongi started to talk about the main topic: “You probably feel very strange that I asked you to come out.”

Indeed, very strange. Although Lalisa knew this elegant and polite man in front of her, he was not a close friend. For a very long time, her impression of him was just as “Jungkook’s roommate.” She did not even remember his name clearly. Until one day, she followed people from his dormitory to eat hot pot. It was a must to bring a partner to the gathering. In the end, only Yoongi came alone. There was a person who teased him by saying: “Yoongi, even Jungkook is taken, how long do you want to remain single?”
Yoongi sighed and said: “It is easy for you to say, but where do I find a courageous and indomitable Lalisa to take me?” Yoongi glanced at Lalisa and said it in jest.

Unfortunately, Jungkook made the situation worse by saying: “If you want, then I will give her to you so my life can be more quiet.”

She was sitting beside him and felt sorry for herself. She did not even say anything, yet a disaster descended from heaven (unexpected adversity). This group of people was from the Faculty of Law, all of them infamous for their poisonous tongues.
