Jungkook was very confused when he walked back to his Grandpa Shen's room.
He was sure that he only did the right thing but he feared that he had somehow made Lisa sad.
'But she smiled.' He thought as he recalled Lisa's face as she said the words 'I'll see you tomorrow'.
"She's good I guess. She will be fine." He murmured as he walked.
As soon as he entered his Grandpa Shen's room, he was greeted with a wide and excited smile of his grandmother.
"Child, why did you take her back so early. I was enjoying talking to her. C'mon, tell me since when do you know each other?" She chided still smiling coupled with her teasing eyes.
Jungkook sighed because he knew how happy grandma Terri was, thinking that he had finally found a girlfriend or someone they could couple him with.
"Grandma, Lisa is not my girlfriend. She is Field Marshal's daughter and she just visited since she happened to be admitted here too. Please don't make assumptions and don't tease her about me too. You'll make her feel uncomfortable," answered Jungkook as he sat beside his grandma.
He was startled when he felt a hard hit on his back.
"Ouch!" He exclaimed.
"You brat! Are you stupid? That girl obviously likes you, and I can sense that she's a nice person. She's so adorable and very beautiful. I like how open, but at the same time, timid she looked when I teased her about you," scolded his Grandma Terri.
Then she looked intently at Jungkook and noticed the muddled expression of his face.
Grandma Terri sighed and held Jungkook's hands, "My child, why don't you let go of your past already. I mean, I know it's a bit hard because you've been attached to Thea since childhood, however, do you want to stay like that? Imprisoned by your past? Do you still love her after everything? I mean, it's been already years, Jungkook. Let her go. Let yourself go from her hold."
Jungkook gave his grandmother a worn-out smile.
"Grandma, there's no love but hatred. That's what is left and what I'm feeling for Thea right now. I know what I have to do. If we are talking about going into a new relationship, to be honest, I am still working on it." He said and he paused for a while as he thought about what he should say about Lisa.
"About Lisa, she's been open to me about how she is feeling. She has actually told me she likes me and not just once but thrice. But Grandma, Lisa is just nineteen years old. Her feelings can't be stable at that age, though she might feel they are, we both know that it's not true. There's a lot of things to consider… and I vowed to commit to a relationship only when I know that it's a real one. I mean, when I know that she's the one I will be spending a lifetime with," explained Jungkook, carefully choosing his words to make his Grandma Terri understand his point of view.
Grandma looked at Jungkook intently and asked, "But you do like that girl, right? Because I can sense that you do. You seem to be smitten with her and you also fancy her."
Jungkook did not respond but remained quiet while Grandma Terri tried to read his grandson's expression.
Then she let out a long, deep sigh and added, "Alright, it will only be fair for both of you if you sort out your feelings yourself. I mean, there's still hatred in your heart. It only means you are still locked up with past. You have to let go of it totally so that if ever you enter into another relationship, there will be no doubt at all."
Jungkook smiled and said, "Grandma, I know what I'm doing… It's for the best. I'm not that old for you guys to rush me to get into a relationship. Let me fix myself first. Besides, you know I hate being manipulated, especially when it comes to these things. When it comes to my personal life, I will decide on things on my own. But of course, I do listen well to all your advice and will consider everything before coming to a decision."
