Chapter 74

When Jungkook sent Lisa home, he said, "I'll be heading to Australia for external training a few days after going back to Beijing. We won't be able to see each other for more than a month." He was a little down as he said this.

Honestly, as a professional athlete, they really did not have a lot of time to spend together. However, while he was at the national team's training base, Lisa could still visit him on her days off. Even if the two of them could not spend much time together, at least they could still see each other.

This time, they would only be able to rely on their cell phones to transmit how much they missed each other.

The next night, Jungkook boarded a flight back to City-B. Jaehyun arrived back at the team slightly earlier than he did. The two of them set down their luggage and then went off together to get some supper. As they ate, Jaehyun observed Jungkook in a mysterious way, seeming as if he wanted to say something.

Jungkook found it odd. "Jaehyun, what exactly do you want to see?"

"Jungkook, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, who do you think I dreamt of?"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "Nana?"

Jaehyun snickered. "Tch, why would I dream of her? I dreamt of Minnie!"

Jungkook stared at Jaehyun contemplatively and then asked him, " Jaehyun, are you trying to tell me that you have had a crush on Minnie for many years, and you're now finally ready to confess?"

Jaehyun shook his head like a rattle. "No, no, no, how could I like Minnie? She's such a princess." He rubbed his jaw and frowned, looking hesitant. "But in the dream, she asked me to tell you to be a little more careful these days. Jungkook, you better take a little more care."

Jungkook was bewildered. "It was just a dream. Why take it so seriously?"

"But I feel like this time is different. Ever since she disappeared, this is the first time I dreamt of her."

Jungkook did not think much of it. "Even if she wanted to warn me, why didn't she tell me herself? Why go through you? Your thoughts in the day feed into your dreams at night. You must have seen something to do with her during the day, and that's why you dreamt of her at night."

Jaehyun considered this carefully and nodded. "That's possible. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the team doctor called me about the doping list. Isn't that annoying? Talking about this over the new year... I didn't feel like listening at all."

Jungkook nodded and after musing for a while, he asked, " Jaehyun, has Minnie really not been in touch with you all this time?"

"She did."

Jungkook looked at him in surprise. "When?"

"On Chinese New Year's Eve. Didn't I just tell you? She came to me in a dream. Sigh, that sounds like something a dead person would do?" Jaehyun covered his mouth. He had erred, he had erred.

Jungkook sighed and said, "If she contacts you in real life, please let me know. I want to apologise to her."

Jaehyun stared at him incredulously. "Why should you apologise? She should be the one to apologise, right? She hurt you so badly, causing you to be banned, causing your broken leg, almost making it so that you wouldn't be able to swim anymore for the rest of your life. You..."

Jungkook waved, signalling Jaehyun to not say any more. He said, " Jaehyun, actually, there's one thing I've never told you before."

"What?"

"The day I got hurt, Minnie confessed to me."

Jaehyun's eyes widened in surprise. He spent nearly half a minute digesting this news and then he lamented, "Does every single girl we both know like you?"
