Chapter 58

On the way home, Jungkook's breathing was light and easy. Every time he looked at Lisa, his gaze would linger a little. Lisa really could not take it and so did not dare to look at him.

They arrived home slightly after 9pm. The Jeon couple was still awake. Madam Kim was on the couch playing games on a PD while Daddy Jeon was sitting beside her watching tv. The tv was currently broadcasting a basketball game. Madam Kim said "water" and Daddy Jeon quickly took a cup half-filled with water from the coffee table and passed it to her. After se finished drinking the water, she passed it back to him and he placed it back on the coffee table.

The two existed in great harmony.

When Jungkook and Lisa returned, the husband and wife on the sofa perceptively noticed the rose in Lisa's hand. The couple exchanged a meaningful look.

Jeon Jungkook said, "Dad, Mum, I have something to announce."

Madam Kim set down the PD and asked, "You two are together now?"

Lisa blushed and looked down.

Daddy Jeon laughed and said, "You two little brats. There's no need to brag about ending your single life in front of a married couple. Anyway, this sort of thing is so easy to guess, did you really need to announce it? Tell us something we can't guess."

Jeon Jungkook facepalmed. "Lisa, you go."

Lisa said, "Uncle, Auntie, Jungkook has actually saved my life. The little kid he saved at Qixia Mountain when he was 7 years old was me."

The married couple seemed stunned by the news. They sat motionless on the sofa, staring at Lisa in astonishment.

Lisa said softly, "It's true."

"So you're saying that," Daddy Jeon looked rather dazed, "Kookie saved you when you were little, and then the both of you came to the same city, and then you just so happened to rent a room with us?"

"Yes, that's basically it."

Daddy Jeon rubbed his chest. "It feels like God is helping us to choose a daughter-in-law! If we don't let you two be together, will we be struck by lightning?"

"Cough."

Even someone as calm as Madam Kim found herself speechless for a long while. Lisa left them to digest the news while she went off to take a shower. After running around all day, she felt grimy, and with all the emotional ups and downs, she was really feeling quite tired now.

Jeon Jungkook sat on the sofa, snacking on grapes from the fruit platter on the coffee table. Bam sat beside Jungkook and stared intently at him. With a flick of his finger, a grape flew — Bam leapt up to catch it with his mouth, swallowed with hardly any chewing involved, and then sat down again to continue staring at him with his tongue sticking out.

"Kookie," Daddy Jeon came seeking gossip. "You and Lisa, who confessed first?"

Even though Madam Kim did not ask the question, she also perked up her ears in interest.

Jeon Jungkook smiled with downturned eyes, "She kissed me first."

"Ah!" Daddy Jeon's jaw dropped. "Wouldn't have guessed that Lisa would be so brave."

Madam Kim's eyes narrowed. Looking at her son's smug face, she suddenly said, "Lisa ran off to look for you this afternoon saying that she wanted to tell you about the time you saved her life. And then your dad just asked who was the first to confess, but your reply is who kissed who first. So now, it begs the question, did Lisa kiss you by her own initiative, or was she pushed into it?"
