Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 42

Lisa thought that this was the end of the gossip. What she did not expect was the final "Boss" awaiting her.

The afternoon, right after reaching the practice venue, she was called to the side by Coach Park.

Coach Park had heard the outrageous gossip during lunch that afternoon. After narrating the whole incident, the other party had even asked, "I heard that this Lisa is currently in your speed skating team. Is it true?"

Even though this was asked without bad intentions, Coach Park still felt dissatisfied. Youngsters these days are too much!

Now, looking at Coach Park's displeased face, Lisa's heart skipped a beat.

"Honestly speaking, Your private life is not something that I should nor could interfere with". Coach Park was genuinely angry. Her expression did not hold a trace of her usual warmth and she was speaking at much faster pace than normal. "However, Lisa, this is something I must say. From this incident, I can tell that your heart is not here. You're not genuinely focused on speed skating".

She did not hold back in laying out these brutal words. A short distance away, some students were doing frog jumps. As they were close enough, they could hear Coach Park's reprimand clearly. No longer in any mood to focus on their own training, all of them perked up their ears to hear the drama going on.

Being lectured by Coach Park like this, Lisa had no choice but to explain herself, "It's not like this, Coach...."

Coach Park waved her hand and cut her off, "I don't want to hear any excuses. I only look at the fact. The fact is, you have the worst result in the entire speed skating team. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to even get into a relationship". Not to mention two at one go! Coach Park left this last line out, ultimately sparing some though to the young girl and not making matters too ugly.

Lisa knew that explaining was useless. She could only apologize, "I'm sorry, Coach Park".

"It's not me you should be apologizing to. The person you've let down the most is Jeon Jungkook".

Lisa was confused. "I really don't have that sort of relationship with Jungkook...."

"Oh, then why would Jungkook pay out of his own pockets for you to de speed skating?"

Hearing her words, Lisa was stunned. She stared at Coach Park blankly, and in an uncertain voice, repeated her words, "Coach Park, You mean....I was able to enter the speed skating team because Jungkook paid for me?"

"Every single cent".

"Wasn't it supposed to be temporarily covered by the team?"

"How would this be possible? The team has its rules. Why did you think I changed my mind? Jungkook begged me for a long time and deposited a lump sum of cover the training expenses for your first three months".

Lisa was stunned. Her gaze became somewhat unfocused, lost in some unknown thoughts.

Seeing her like this, Coach Park was a little disappointed. She stated, "My stance is this: the speed skating team is not a place for you to fool around not even if you're paying out of your own pockets. I will give you two month's time. Two months later, the 'Ascendance Cup' will take place. If you're still unable to show some results by then, you can head back to wherever you came from. You....hey, where are you going!?"

Lisa had turned and ran off.

Park Minyoung opened and closed her months. As she watched Lisa's leaving figure disappear into the distance, she shook her head and sighed, "Kids these days...." She glanced away and found that the students who were supposed to be doing frog jumps had all stopped and were looking in her direction.
