Chapter 99

Jungkook turned and found tears rolling down Lisa's face. His heart aching, he pulled her into his arms and stroked her head gently, "It's, okay".

Yeonjun walked over and said, "Have you two forgotten that everyone in the country recognizes you?"

Jungkook raised his head and found several receptionists and two guests had taken out their phones and were currently filming them.

Lisa was slightly embarrassed. She wiped her tears and mumbled, "Let's let's talk upstairs".

Jungkook held her hand and walked towards the elevator. When he passed by those people, he said, "Please don't post this onto the internet or send it to your friends".

Those people did not expect Jungkook to say this so politely to them. He was completely different from what was said on the internet. The merits of a good-looking person were always magnified thus, everyone nodded, "Got it!"

Yeonjun watched their leaving figures. He lowered his head and smiled. When they turned and disappeared around the corner, he fished out his phone and text Lisa: "I'm going back".

....

Lisa brought Jungkook back to her room. Jungkook sat on the chair but Lisa did not sit. She stood in front of him with a lowered head, like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

She had stopped crying but her tears had yet to dry. Tiny beads of tears hung from her fine and long eyelashes, looking like fragmented pieces of sparkling diamonds.

It looked like she had been startled badly as well.

Jungkook had the urge to laugh but at the same time, he was touched. His heart feeling bittersweet, he hugged her hand and pulled her down to sit on his thighs.

Lisa was exceptionally docile as she sat on his laps. She leaned into his embrace and with her head turned rested her temples on the edge of his forehead. She stretched her hands behind to embrace him as well.

Then, she told him what happened in detail from beginning to end.

Jungkook hugged her and stroked her back every now and then. His actions were slow and gentle, meant to comfort her through. After she finished confessing, he lifted his head slightly and looked her in the eyes. He asked gently, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I saw that you weren't in a good mood". Seeing that Jungkook was about to speak, she raised her hand and covered his lips. "I admit that I shouldn't have lied. But I didn't lie because of Yeonjun.  lied because of you".

Jungkook held her wrist and lowered her hand gently. He said. "I don't like being deceived. From now on, no matter what happens, let's be honest with each other?"

Lisa nodded, "Mm....But Jungkook, I was quite upset about one thing as well".

"Mm?"

"Why did you thought that  I don't love you? Don't you have any trust towards me?"

Jungkook did not reply. His head was lowered in silence for a while. Then, he said, "Recently, so many people have sad that they were disappointed in me".

When Lisa heard this, her heart felt a piercing pain. She tightened her arms. "Jungkook...."

"But", Jungkook interrupted her. "In actual fact, there is only one person that Jeon Jungkook himself is afraid of disappointing".

Lisa's eyes reddened. Moved and her heart aching for him, she cupped his face and lowered her head to kiss him.

Jungkook raised his head and responded tenderly.

....

No matter how strong someone appeared, they would have times of weakness and unease as well. In particular, their unease would be magnified in front of the person they like. The more they cared, the more terrified they were of losing him or her.

Lisa wanted to tell Jungkook that she would never be disappointed in him.

.......

On single's day, Lisa gave Jungkook a call. "Let's celebrate as well".

"How?"

"Are you free tonight?"

"Yes", Jungkook said and laughed. His laughter was loaded with meaning.

Lisa ignored his annoying tone and gave a proper replay. "Let's take a stroll down at Street".

At this point, Jungkook did not enjoy going to crowded places. He asked, "Take a stroll for?"

"To have fun. What other excuse do we need for stroll?"

"Shall we watch a movie?"

"No, I'm in the mood for strolling".

Fine, since she was the boss, a stroll it would be.

They arranged to meet at the entrance of Street at 7 pm. Jungkook headed over from the club and arrived slightly earlier. He waited for her with his hands slotted in his pockets. He was covered tightly from head to toes and wore a cap and a mask. He stood at one side of the street and was bored stiffy as he glanced at passers-by.

Baisha street was an aged street that faced the river. It was packed tightly with numerous small shops and food stalls. Across the river city, the biggest commercial district Rain City. The two sides of the river were an interesting contrast that complimented each other nicely.

At 7 pm sharp, Lisa had yet to arrive Jungkook popped into a corner store selling rabbit heads, intending to buy a few of Lisa's favourite snack.

He ordered some snack.

At the the same time, numerous people outside gasped and broke into murmurs.

When Jungkook raised his head curiously to take a look as well, he was stunned.

On the tallest building in River City across the street or to be accurate, across the river the enormous LED advertising board was refreshed.

You'll always be my ultimate hero"
