Chapter 19: Group Meal

The restaurant Jungkook had chosen was a specialty restaurant whose selling point was greens and organic food. The restaurant claimed to be collaborating with an organic farm — all their plant-based foods were free from chemical fertilizers and pesticides, their meats were sourced from animals fed with organic feed, and all their eggs and dairy were certified safe and secure.

As the cost for these food products was high, the price-range of this restaurant was also very high.

When Lisa arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Jungkook and company had also just arrived. The five people in his group had taken two cars over, and the tall men unfolded themselves out of the cars one by one. Jungkook saw Lisa and waved at her.

Lisa walked over and asked curiously, "With so many of you, why didn't you all borrow a car from the team? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"

"Ahem," Jungkook seemed rather embarrassed, "We are all unlicensed."

So that's how it was.

Lisa saw that two of the five people were sporting sunglasses and face masks, their entire visage covered up securely. Although she couldn't see their faces clearly, Lisa could identify one of them as Jaehyun from the person's height. As for the other person, they were a head shorter than Jaehyun, about the same height as Soobin; Lisa really had no clue who it could be.

Jungkook introduced her. "This is Elder Nana, you've seen her before."

"... ah?"

That person waved to Lisa, "Hello, I'm Nana." The person's voice was somewhat muffled coming from behind the mask.

Lisa gaped. So she would be eating together with two Olympic champions and three national champions today? She suddenly felt like she was standing at the peak of life ...

Jaehyun noticed Lisa spacing out, and in his typically arrogant tone, he said, "You should be honoured to eat with us. What is there for you to be dissatisfied with?"

Whack! Nana's palm thumped onto Jaehyun's head. "You're butting in here for a free meal. Be a little more humble, will you!"

Lisa's eyes were as wide as saucers — Nana actually smacked Jaehyun's head? She had swung her palm freely and cleanly, without any hesitation whatsoever. How domineering! That's Jaehyun, you know!

Jaehyun rubbed his head and grumbled, "Can you stop hitting my head?"

"That's fine. I'll spank your butt next time."

Jaehyun: "..."

Lisa stared at Nana with a look of worship until Nana felt a little embarrassed and explained, "I've never spanked him before."

Jaehyun felt that a childish word like 'spanking' was really damaging to his heroic image. He ignored the two women and took the lead to walk towards the restaurant. "Let's go. I'm starving!"

The shortest ones among the group was Soobin and Nana, and they were still at least 1.7 to 1.8 metres tall. Walking amongst them, Lisa felt as if she had stumbled into the world of giants.

Jaehyun and Nana were carefully covered up, obviously concerned about being recognised. They were public figures after all, these were the kind of things they always had to worry about. They had believed that even their mothers would not be able to recognise them dressed up like this, that they would be able to rest easy ... unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the restaurant, they were recognised.

Oh, not them, but him — Jungkook.

As soon as the lady receptionist in her pretty cheongsam saw them, her hands flew to her face and she squealed, "Ah, Jungkook!"
