Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 73

Lisa wanted to ignore Jungkook but she was unable to shake him off. He followed by her side with slow, leisurely steps. Though he did not say a single word, his domineering presence was impossible to overlook.

When they were out of the stadium, Lisa headed to the bicycle parking lots. Trailing one step behind her, Jungkook suddenly spoke, "The club requested it".

Lisa paused her step, turned and look at him. "What?"

Jungkook said, "The club requested me to give my signature to the fans".

"Oh" Lisa tossed her head, unmoved as she continued walking. "Not like that's my business".

Jungkook did not expose her pretence. His lips quirked as he followed behind her. "Just take it that I'm showing off".

Lisa was extremely annoyed with how gleeful he was. "It's so common to have some fans these days. What are you going on about it for?"

After she found her bicycle, she put her bag into the basket and was about to unlock it when Jungkook suddenly grabbed her wrist. When he did so, Lisa felt her heart gave a sudden quiver.

She tried to pull her hand back but Jungkook tightened his grip. He said. "Follow me".

"Why should I?"

"Come"

Lisa was pulled away bewilderedly like this. Jungkook pulled her to street light by the public square.

Then, he fished out something from his pocket and held it out to her.

Lisa lowered her head and looked at it. That object was round and wrapped in a colorful wrapping paper. The excess paper was tied at the top like how Christmas apples were wrapped. However, it was smaller than an apple.

Puzzled, she asked, "Is it a sweet?"

"No"

"Chocolate?"

"No"

"Century egg?"

"No...."

Jungkook did not dare to let her continue guessing. He pulled her hand over, stuffed the gift into it and explained, "I was tidying up a few days ago and found a leftover souvenir from Poland that hasn't been given out".

Lisa's lips curved as she started unwrapping the gift. She thought that the souvenir was most likely a trinket like a badge or a small toy. When she finally tore the paper open excitedly, she was stunned.

It was a piece of amber slightly smaller than an egg. Smooth to touch and a clear, translucent amber color, it came in the shape of a slightly misshapen heart.

As Lisa looked at the amber, her heart beat wildly. Afraid of letting Jungkook sense how affected she was, she gripped the amber between her thumb and index finger and examined it closely.

Inside the amber were some tiny leaf fragments. The placement and shape of the fragments preserved the way that they were initially trapped in the resin, and felt like they were going to swirl away any moment. Lisa raised the amber towards the light. Under the light, the fragments were surrounded by a pale gold glow. The golden glow shifted and changed as she turned the amber around it looked as if there were countless tiny golden petals caught in a dance, looking beautiful beyond words.

"It's really pretty...." Lisa could not help sighing in admiration.

Jungkook's lips quirked. "As long as you like it".

Cough.

That was a common phrase but when Lisa heard it, she felt a wave of sweetness. She calmed herself down and asked, "This....should have been quite expensive?"

Jungkook shook his head. "Nope. You can find amber for sale everywhere in Poland".

"....Really?" Lisa did not quite believe him.

"Mm". Jungkook nodded. "The locals all drive their own excavators to mine for amber".

Lisa raised her leg and pretended that she was going to kick him. "Jungkook! Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Jungkook dodged with a laugh. When Lisa put her leg down, her drew back to her and asked softly. "Not angry anymore?"

Nope, nope, not only was she no longer angry, she even felt like hopping up and giving him a kiss.

"No, no, no, no. I can't be so weak-willed...." Lisa shook her head and muttered to herself.

When Jungkook returned to his dorm at right, he logged into his main Weibo account, cleared all his notifications and posted an advertisement arranged by the club. After completing all these, he switched into his side account.

For his Weibo side account, he had a total of 21 followers. 20 were fake followers assigned to him by the system and the only actual person following was Eunwa once said, "I'm the only man in the world who knows bro Jungkook's side account. In short, I'm bro Jungkook's only man".

Ever since he became bro Jungkook's 'only man' the way Eunwoo looked at Jungkook was a little weird. Amidst the respect he had was a trace of fear and amidst the fear was a tinge of sympathy in turn, amidst the sympathy was a touch of concern.

This was because Bro Jungkook Weibo side account had completely captured the love-obsessed idiot that he was. It was a sight hard to bear and made worse by how girly his account ID was.

Rock Sugar And Pear Stew!

Look at this, look at this, does it even sound like something that a guy would use?

Though Eunwoo scoffed at this name a good while, he did not dare to share it with anyone.

....

That day, Jungkook logged into his side account and posted a status to record his feelings.

Rock Sugar And Pear Stew: "You ate vinegar while I ate sweets".

When Eunwoo saw this Weibo status his teeth soured. Despite despising bro Jungkook, he could not resist giving him a 'like' fawningly.

My feelings polarize too much. He thought.

Eating Vinegar is a phrase for saying that someone is jealous.
