Chapter 62

Lisa called her mother to make peace. It was quite easy to cajole her mother back into good spirits. She said, "Mum, don't be mad. I forgot to tell you. I have a boyfriend now."

Mama Manoban's attention was successfully shifted to a different track. She fired off questions like bullets, "Really? Where's he from? How old is he? What does he do for a living? What's his monthly salary? What does he look like? Is he tall? Do you have a photo?"

She asked all these questions in one long breath, leaving Lisa in a daze. "Mum..."

Mama Manoban was a little rueful. "Lisa, you didn't go out and find a random boyfriend just to reassure me, right? You don't have to do that."

"Mum... what are you thinking of..." Lisa was really impressed by the strange twists of her mother's mind. "I'll send you his photo so you can take a look for yourself."

"Okay!"

Lisa found a charming shot of Jungkook and sent it over, and she then immediately received a call from her mother.

Her mother bellowed over the phone, "This is Jungkook! I remember him. You said you liked him last time, but he's a superstar, a champion! He's your boyfriend just because you say he is? You think I'm an idiot? He said he has no girlfriend in his interview."

"Mum, he really is my boyfriend. That interview is outdated."

Mama Manoban's voice became filled with worry and concern. "Lisa, why don't you go see a psychologist? What if..." What if she was delusional?!

Lisa looked for another picture and send it to her mother. It was the photo she took together with Jungkook at the gymnasium of his university.

Her mother still did not believe her even after seeing the photo. "This photo can't prove anything. You're a reporter, so it's not strange for you to have a photo or two with Jungkook."

Mum, why are so sharp?

Lisa could only say, "The next time I see him, I'll send you another photo."

"Hehe, I'll be waiting."

At 8 o'clock that night, Lisa gave Bam a bath. Making him become a true "dog in water". Bam did not like baths, but he did not dare fight back when Lisa held him down to bathe him. He only whined piteously, eliciting sympathy. But no matter how pitiful he was, he still needed a bath!

Afterwards, Lisa used a hair dryer to dry his fur. As she was finishing up, Madam Kim knocked on the bathroom door. "Lisa, there's a call for you. It's from Kookie," she said, passing her a cell phone.

"Oh? Thanks, Auntie!" Lisa took the phone and turned off the hair dryer. "Hello?"

"Lisa, what're you doing?"

"I'm blow-drying Bam's fur. He's being a good boy." Lisa scratched Bam on the neck. "Right, Bam?"

Bam turned his head away: No!

"Come out for a bit."

Lisa was confused. "What?"

"Come out, I'm right outside."

Lisa did not ask anything more, pushing Bam aside to go out.

Jungkook was standing under a street lamp and he watched as Lisa ran towards him. Under the pale-yellow light of the street lamp, his gaze was as gentle as the calm flow of a river.

Lisa ran up to him, and just as she was about to brake and stop, Jungkook took a step forwards, just in time for her to crash into his arms.

Lisa, "..." How did it turn into leaping into his arms just like that?!
