Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 55

Ever since that one time, Lisa would thicken her skin every night to call Jungkook. Jungkook had also suddenly become considerate by never once laughing at her and telling her bedtime stories.

It was Lisa who was somewhat unaccustomed to this. During the daytime, she asked Tzuyu, "Why did Jungkook suddenly become so well-behaved?"

"How will I know?"

"Is it possible that he's secretly in love with me as well?" After saying this, Lisa immediately shuddered and shook her head. "No, no way, the thought of this is too scary".

She felt that she might be reading too much into things. One moment it was Tzuyu, the next it was Jungkook without distinction between age and gender, how could it be that the whole world was secretly in love with her? She might be a little too narcissistic....

Lisa decided to replay Jungkook's kindness by treating him to meals, which he accepted was huge. Lisa was thoroughly bankrupted by him by the time it came for her to head home.

She did not even have the money to buy a lunchbox on the high-speed rail. Right before boarding the train, she held a bag of cup of noodles. Jungkook counted and there was a grand total of four cups.

This was the first time Jungkook saw someone took the effort to bring cup noodles home from thousands of miles away. He asked, "What's this?"

"Food for the train ride".

"There's also your share". With the responsibility of a zookeeper, Lisa was still concerned about treating him at time like this. She also brought a corn-flavoured sausage. "You can have a bite later", she told Jungkook.

Jungkook didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "I don't want to bite this".

"Then what do you want to bite?"

He turned his head without saying a word. His lips quirked and his gaze landed in the distance. Just like this, he merely smiled in silence.

A tall, handsome youth with a bright and gentle smile planted in the ebbing flow of the ceaseless crowd this was a striking sight that drew the eyes of everyone who walked past.

Lisa said, "I know what you want to bite".

"Oh?" Jungkook retracted his gaze and lowered his head to look at her.

Lisa winked at him. "I'll buy you a dog chew toy when we get back".

Jungkook was utterly speechless. He raised his hands and shoved up his sleeves. "You, come here".

Lisa of course did not go over. She turned and ran around the luggage. Jungkook's movements were faster than hers and his legs were longer. With just one stride, he moved to the other side and blocked her bath. Not giving her the chance to escape in another direction, he grabbed her shoulder and effortlessly hauled her back.

Jungkook hooked his arm over Lisa's neck and singlehandedly towed her into his embrace. His laughter was a little sinister. "Go on, why aren't you running anymore?"

"Wait, wait, wait ,wait, don't be like this. We can talk things out" Lisa was an adaptable person. She tugged on his arms and tried to break free. The two of them were very close and her shoulders were almost  pressing against his chest. When he breathed, her body could distinctively discern the rise and fall of his chest. This made her feel an inexplicable sense of awkwardness and shyness.

Jungkook landed a merciless finger flick on her head, causing her body to give a light shudder of pain. Feeling the tremble of the teenage girl in his arms, his heart had an odd sensation that was part satisfaction and part faint desire for something more. His dream surfaced in his head. Though it appeared as fragmented scenes, this did not diminish the dream's titillation. His breathing became uneven and the heaving of his chest deepened.
