Chapter 53

Reading Jungkook's ambiguous and suggestive text, Lisa's face flushed red. She could not help but imagine what he would look like saying this — he would definitely have a gentle expression on his face, brows calm and lips curved, head bowed as he looked into her eyes. His gaze, as warm and gentle as spring water, was enough to drown any woman.

He may be smiling, but his smile would probably have some teasing behind it, making you feel like pushing him away yet be unable to stop yourself from drawing closer to him.

Lisa cradled her phone in her hands, tucked snugly on the couch with her red face. She could not help but sigh long and loud. This time, she had really fallen too deep to pull herself out of it!

Mama Manoban came over to sit beside her. She looked at her questioningly and asked, "Boyfriend?"

"No." Lisa put down her handphone. In the end, she did not reply to him. She really could not handle it and did not know how to respond.

"If it's not a boyfriend, then get out there and go on the blind dates I'm setting up for you," said Mama Manoban.

Lisa could not help but wail, "Mum, can't you just let me have a few days of peace and quiet? I don't want to go on blind dates."

"But I want to see you with a boyfriend." That was her only entertainment.

Lisa gritted her teeth. "Mum, wait for the New Year and I'll bring a boyfriend back, okay? Will that do? I'm saying it upfront now, I don't want to go for anymore blind dates."

"You're stalling." Mama Manoban exposed her true plan.

"It's true, really. I have someone I like. He's really nice. I'll show him to you once I've caught him, okay?"

Mama Manoban looked at her daughter suspiciously, "Really? What kind of person is he? How nice is nice?"

"There, that's him." Lisa pointed at the television. The television was playing news on Jungkook at that moment. The newscaster was tirelessly narrating Jungkook's great achievement, and the video was the scene of Jungkook being surrounded by media and fans at the airport upon his return to the country. Even though he had not responded to any questions then, just the images alone were already newsworthy — quite a number of TV stations were also using them.

Mama Manoban counselled Lisa earnestly, "Child, it is good to have a goal, but you best not set your goals so high, otherwise you'll be disappointed."

Lisa sweatdropped. "Mum, I know."

Although Mama Manoban disapproved of Lisa 'setting her goal too high', she did not continue forcing her to go on blind dates. As a mother, she could see clearly that her daughter did not have any intentions in that aspect right now, so she would not press her any further.

Lisa enjoyed several days of peace and quiet, when suddenly one day, she received a call from Bambam.

Bambam: "Lisa, I'm at City-N right now."

Lisa: "Bambam, why are you here?"

"To see you."

"..."

At Lisa's silence, Bambam probed carefully, "If it's inconvenient for you to meet me, then it's fine."

Lisa quickly shook her head, even though Bambam could not see it. She said, "No, no, that's not my meaning. I was just a little surprised... why did you come by without saying a word beforehand?"

"I suddenly felt like seeing you."

For an instant, Lisa was touched. After all, it felt pretty good being missed by someone. She straightened out her home a little and then left to find him. Bambam did not want her to come so far out to the airport, so the two of them agreed to meet up outside the Qixia Mountain Scenic Area. In any case, Lisa had promised Bambam before that she would take him round Qixia Mountain.
