When Lisa felt his empty sleeve, she couldn’t control herself and moved upwards trying to find his hand until she touched his upper arm. She was stunned and couldn’t believe he had this……condition…… She started blaming herself. Her own actions had caused another person’s embarrassment. It’s totally not what she had intended!
Lisa took back her hand as if she had been shocked. She was dumbfounded. Boys moved past them in and out of the dorm and no one paid them much attention. They probably thought that it was just a couple of lovebirds who didn’t want to say goodbye yet. But Lisa was deeply remorseful; when she touched what was left of his arm, she distinctly sensed a slight tremor.
She looked down at the ground, not knowing what to say. What could she say? “Sorry?” Or “what happened?” Should she apologize for touching where she shouldn’t have touched?
Or should she blame herself for not being more observant? After all, while at the cafeteria, he was standing right in front of her. How could she not notice this at all?
For a while, no one spoke. Finally, Jungkook opened his mouth. “It’s getting dark soon, you better go!”
Lisa raised her head and looked right into Jungkook’s eyes.
He appeared very calm and his words were very gentle. There wasn’t a hint of pain or being offended. He was acting like an old friend who was warmly telling her that it’s time to go home.
Lisa pursed up her lips at first, then sighed and spoke with a small voice, “Sorry……”
Jungkook grinned. “You’ve said that word hundreds and thousands of times today. I forgave you already long ago! Don’t worry.”
Lisa hesitated a bit and showed the tube in her hand. “This ointment is really good, I……”
She spotted pockets on the beige colored pants that he was wearing and pushed the tube into the pocket carefully. “Here, for you…….”
After those words, Lisa ran as if she was being chased away.
