Jungkook arrived at his unit very late. Given the eventful day, he should have been tired and already resting or at least sleepy...
But he was not… Rather he couldn't make himself to sleep.
He smiled and grinned on his own as he entered his room. If not for the loud countdown when all the guests were required to remove their masks, he wouldn't let Lisa return to the reception hall.
Even though he wanted to be with Lisa on her special day a bit longer, Jungkook didn't take much of Lisa's time because a lot of visitors would surely start looking for her if she was missing for long.
They didn't talk much too, but he was unconsciously smooching her more while they were alone. Because he felt that he had missed Lisa very much. Probably he was triggered by Lisa's light kiss.
With that kiss, all the inhibitions that he had seemed to flee away.
He himself was shocked at his own actions but he liked it. He loved that feeling he was having whenever he held Lisa in his arms. The feeling that he wanted to stay like that forever.
Jungkook grabbed the box, which Field Marshal Chan send him, and put it on his bed and opened it. It contained Lisa's bundle of letters for almost three years that he had been away.
There were too many, he felt like Lisa was writing letters to him almost every day. If he was not mistaken there were three to five letters from Lisa every week.
Too bad that he was not able to receive them because any kind of contact was prohibited during work for safety precautions. But it was also a good thing because he was not sure if he would have been able to last for three years in a mission, knowing that Lisa was indeed waiting for him.
He had already read many of the letters. He occasionally laughed on his own like a crazy man because in some letters Lisa mentioned the funny moments and experiences she had at school or during her internship.
Now, he even anticipated watching Lisa doing the news reporting on the television.
It was like he was reading Lisa's diary, but in every letter that she wrote, the first paragraph would always contain questions about him: If he was still alive? How was he doing? If he was eating his meal in time? If his mission was going well? Was it hard? If he was having a bad time? And she kept on asking too many questions in her letters.
To be honest, he was really surprised that Lisa had spent so much time or even bothered to write him those letters, but reading them, he was deeply touched.
Because there were too many, he skipped some and jumped directly to her latest letters because he was curious to know how she felt.
The latest letter was written just three weeks ago, wherein the final sentences were literally threatening: [If you still don't respond or come back... I will start entertaining my suitors… Oh gosh, I'm going crazy for waiting this long…]
That words seemed to be his wake up call. He re-evaluated himself… what did he want… whether it was okay for him to see Lisa with another man, but he did not want that.
He liked Lisa and he wanted to keep her for him alone.
After reading some of the letters that night, the first thing he did in the morning was to meet the Field Marshal and inform Lisa's father about his intentions.
He smiled as he recalled how encouraging was the Field Marshal when he expressed his intentions towards his daughter.
[It's not that you are already getting married, Jungkook… If you decided to be in a relationship with my daughter, get to know each other well first. My daughter is a clever woman and can be playful most of the time, but she is always sincere about what her heart truly feels. It's not that I'm condoning her, but it's because I trust Lisa's decisions and I have trust in the person she has chosen…]
