Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 21

Lisa heard Jimin claim to be bullied and laughed, "Don't try to shirk your responsibilities".

"It's true. Boss, today at Shanghu Square...."

The result of seven separate universities merger, Rain City United University's campus layout was a little complicated. There was some areas belonging to the school that outsiders had free access to. Shanghu Square was one such area. It was a recreational square and residents nearby often went there for walks or dance activities.

Some RCU clubs also liked to hold their activities there. There was no need to first gain the school committee's approval, which made things much more convenient.

"What happened next? Did you guys fight?"

"No, but we almost did. I accidentally bumped into one of them and they started shoving and scolding me. Then our two groups started quarrelling".

"And then?"

"And then they challenged us to a battle"

"....The heck?"

"We decided to have a friendly match. The losing team will have to apologize"

"Mm. Everything's fine as long as you're alright"

"Boss, I'm so touched at your concern"

"Don't forget to wash the socks when you're back".

"...." Being touched was a delusion.

At night, Lisa made sure that Jungkook's socks were safely delivered into Jimin's hands. Then, she appraised him from head to toe and asked, "Sure you didn't get beaten up?"

"Nope. But Boss, they're way too arrogant" Jimin spoke, he passed his phone to Lisa. "They spread his incident all over the internet and uploaded it on Weibo and WeChat. They even posted this on both the city and our school's online forums. To make things worse, I've just searched and found out that there's someone in their club who won a prize in an artistic roller skating competition before. I think our club is doomed".

Lisa moved her finger and scanned the content of the forum post. She then did a quick search of the opposing club's information. She pondered the whole incident. "Huh"

"What?"

"Fool, you guys have been set up"

"What do you mean?"

"They're a newly established club that badly needs publicity. Intentionally finding fault on Saturday night, provoking the bunch of you, attracting widespread attention, unabashedly circulating this entire incident....all these speak of a publicity stunt. They're trying to hype up their own club at the expenses of RCU".

"Eh"

Jimin felt that things were not looking good and immediately  reported looking good and immediately reported Lisa's suspicions to his club president.

The club president had also suspected the same. However, the problem was that regardless of whether it was a publicity stunt, it was impossible to retreat halfway. There were only two options now to either win or be an embarrassment.

"I'm going to try obtaining help from someone in the figure skating team" The club president said.

Lisa who was listening at the side immediately shook her head. "That's blunder"

After hanging up on his call with his club president, Jimin softly tapped Lisa's arm, "Boss, you have a solution, right? Please....help?"

"Wash the socks"
