Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 92

Jungkook was recapping how he planned to please Lisa's father when he saw his target storming towards him with a broom.

From Principal Manoban's murderous look, Jungkook gathered that he was not coming over to sweet the floor.

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat and he rose up carefully.

Principal Manoban raised the broom towards Jungkook, "I'll kill you, you bastard! I knew you weren't a good person!"

Jungkook was utterly confused but he did not dare to oppose. As the space between the sofa and the coffee table was small, he was unable to dodge and two hits landed on him.

Things happened to suddenly. Lisa was stunned for a moment before jumping over to stop her father. "Dad, what are you doing? What's up with you? Mom! Mom!"

Her resounding shout carried past the kitchen door and hum of the kitchen exhaust hood to enter to enter Mama Manoban's ears.

Shocked, Mama Manoban reached out with the wok spatula still in her hand. She took one look at the chaos in front of her and immediately stepped forward to intervene. "What's going on? Let go!"

"Don't stop me. I'll make this brat pay the price today!"

Mama Manoban threw her arms around Principal Manoban who had lost his mind and turned her head to signal Lisa with her eyes. "Leave, quickly".

Lisa grabbed Jungkook and ran without delay.

Holding on to each other's hands, they did not have time to change their shoes. The slippers they wore slapped against the ground as they escaped outside frantically. They dashed out of the residential area in one stretch before running down another two steers.

That day, someone started a thread on the forum.

["I think I saw Jungkook! He was bolting down the street wearing Versace and plastic slippers"]

Everyone in the thread mocked the thread starter for being crazy and not coming up with a more believable story.

....

Lisa and Jungkook finally dodged into a small alley. Then, Lisa went to the pharmacy at the intersection to buy some medicine, Band-Aids, and mask. On her way back, she passed by a minimart and went in to buy a stick of ice cream.

She needed something sweet to comfort herself.

Back at the alley, Lisa held Jungkook's face and scrutinized it. He was fine except for some broken skin on his cheeks. Her heart ached and she mumbled herself. "If this causes disfiguration, where am I going to find someone else that's so good-looking?"

Jungkook burst into laughter and peered down at her, his eyes tranquil and gentle like the moonlight.

Lisa asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Jungkook shook his head.

Lisa continued, "I don't know what's wrong with my dad. The way he looked at you seemed like you killed his father....oh wait, my grandpa is still alive, so how could you have killed him....Jungkook, did you glare at him?"

"I wouldn't dare........"

"That's really strange" Lisa shook her head. She thought for a while and said, "Could it be that my father agreed to meet you in order to pull a Hongmen Banquet?"

According to Jungkook's history knowledge, the Hongmen Banquet did not involve beating up someone upon seeing them.

Since they could not figure out what happened, they could only try to fix the issue on hand. Jungkook bent down for Lisa to apply the medicine on his face. Though it was only a bit of broken skin which, by right, did not need any medicine, Lisa did not want anything to happen to Jungkook's good-looking face. She treated it with utmost care and not only applied the medicine for him but did so meticulously. After that was done, she took her time applying the Band-Aid with deep concentration.

Jungkook suddenly hugged her and straightened up.

"Hey...." Lisa's heart pounded furiously and she almost stuck the Band-Aid onto his eyes.

"I'm tired after bending down for so long".

Lisa let him hug her while she applied the Band-Aid. After she was done, Jungkook continued to hug her and did not put her down. He raised his head to look at her and blinked unhurriedly. "I think I need a kiss".

"Stop fooling around. Let me down".

Jungkook let her down reluctantly.

Back on solid ground, Lisa suddenly smiled as Jungkook drew back his hands. "Jungkook, I find this quite incredulous".

"Mm?"

"Originally, I don't like guys who are too tall".

"Why?"

"Oh, I don't feel secure".

It was Jungkook's turn to feel incredulous. He commented, "Shouldn't having a tall boyfriend make you feel more secure instead?"

Lisa gave it some serious thought before shaking her head. "Well, I just don't like it".

Jungkook was a little depressed. "How about you break my legs?"

"But I like it now".

Lisa whispered this in a soft voice but Jungkook heard every word clearly. He felt that his heart was about to melt. He lowered his head to watch her, the corners of his lips curving up as he drew out an "oh".

Lisa turned her face to the side and avoided his eyes. She reached for the plastic bag he held and took out the ice cream. Acting nonchalant, she tore the wrapper and asked, "Want some?"

"No".

"Have a taste. Sweet stuff will lift your mood".

Jungkook was already in a good mood. However, seeing how she asked him so sincerely, he decided to do her the honour.

Therefore, he nodded. "Mm".

"I'll eat this side while you'll eat this side".

"Okay, I'll hold it".

Lisa passed the ice cream over to him. Jungkook held the ice cream while Lisa leaned over for a lick. It was sweet and icy, melting immediately in her mouth. After the ice cream melted, her whole mouth was filled with the light fragrance of milk.

Jungkook usually ate his ice creams in bites. However, he liked seeing his girlfriend eat it in licks. At times like this, she was soft and cute like a tiny kitten.

They ate a few mouthfuls this way. Then when Lisa once again leaned over to lick the ice cream, Jungkook suddenly moved the ice cream away and lowered his head to meet her.

Lisa ended up with a mouthful of Jungkook's lips instead of the ice cream.

When she heard Jungkook's mischievous laugh, she was a little annoyed. She lifted her head and tried to dodged away but Jungkook cupped the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

Sugar began dancing on the tip of their tongues.

....

When the kiss ended, Jungkook looked at Lisa's kiss-reddened lips with curved eyes. He remarked, "I know why you don't like tall guys".

"Oh?"

"You like to bully people. You're afraid that you can't take down those who are tall".

Lisa was somewhat guilty. "Jungkook, what a low-minded thought".

Jungkook did not continue to dispute this. He raised his finger and tapped her reddened lips lightly. "You're not allowed to bully anyone else in the future. You can only bully me".

"Stop saying ridiculous things. The ice cream is melting".

Thus, they continued eating the ice cream.

The narrow alley was remote and deserted. Standing in front of an old brick wall covered with mottled patches of moss, they ate the ice cream in turns as the cold autumn wind swept through the alley. When they raised their heads, they saw the sun hanging slightly above the alley mouth, the sunlight shining brightly on the stretch of black bricks-paved floor.

It was a little chilly, and a little warm.

And also a very sweet.
