MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 187

Lisa shook her head firmly.

Jungkook beamed and stretched out his hands to embrace her. When she caught the cool scent over his body, she cried even harder.

He was dead. He really wasn't dead.

He was so alive right in front for her eyes.

On the other hand, he thought that she was much skinnier, and had even become misshapen.

Her usually rosy and bright small face was now pale and dark, her eyes losing her usual spirit.

Jungkook could feel the small woman in his arms shaking. Pursing his lips and closing his eyes, he hide the pain showing just beneath his eyes.

After a long hug, he picked her up and went inside her room in the hospital running headlong into Jin and the little one.

"Daddy!" The little one pounced happily and hugged him. "I knew you weren't dead".

Jungkook smiled, and looked up to meet Jin's eyes, and nodded in tacit understanding.

Meanwhile, Jisoo didn't know what was wrong with herself as if she shed even more tears than Lisa, who had her arms around Jungkook and was not willing to let go.

"Where have you been all this time?"

"I was wounded and had to take my time to recovering".

Lisa freed him then, anxiously scanning his body, "Are you alright? Where does it hurt?"

Jungkook shook his head. "I'm fine now".

Lisa still had more to say, but Jungkook had already pulled a blanket over her and gently patted her. "Sleep".

For some reason, Lisa felt caught in her throat the moment he said that single word. "Okay".

She lay down, closed her eyes, and was soon breathing evenly.

Jungkook rose and left, but it was after he quietly closed the door that Lisa opened her eyes.

He had changed. He was no longer himself.

This was not what she hoped to see after so many days apart.

Lisa's heart began to hurt vaguely, having the feeling that something was about to happen.

What could have taken place? Why did it felt like he didn't even want to spare a moment to talk to her?

****

The roof of the hospital.

It was very cool up there, with a strong wind blowing.

Jin was smoking a cigarette when Jungkook arrived.

"You're here".

"Yeah" Jungkook replied.

Jin handed him a cigarette, but he refused. "No thanks".

"Are your memories back?" Jin asked calmly then, adjusting his glasses.

"Yes".

"How is it?"

Jungkook was staring downwards impassively at everything around his feet, his smile suddenly bitter, "Not good".

Jin clapped him on his shoulder. "You'll be fine".

"What about you?" Jungkook asked, looking up to stare at him. "It's fine being obsessed with a dead person?"

Jin's face dropped just slightly, but he soon smiled. "It's pleases me".

Jungkook chuckled mockingly, and left with a wave.

On the next day, Lisa woke up but could not find Jungkook anywhere.
