Lisa did not struggle, however, because she was afraid that his hand would be hurt if she moved too suddenly.

Instead, she kept her head lowered and said nothing with a long face.

Jungkook carefully turned her around and touched her face.

"What is it Lili?" He asked softly.

Lisa looked up with an upset put, her tears pouring and her voice shaking, "You played me, Jungkook!"

She recalled all the signs back at Ocean City, finally understanding why he suddenly seemed to give her the cold shoulder and never bothered to explain who the woman was.

He was toying with her!

She was being jealous and all, only to come up short in the end!

She felt that she was the fool! A delusional fool from start to finish!

This was the first time she was tearing up again and again. Jungkook was flustered, and even as he wiped off her tears, more followed.

He held her again, stroking her back and soothed her, "I just liked your jealous look....that's why"

That's why he did not explain. He wanted to take her to meet Jeon Yeo-been and see her face when she found out the truth.

Then, that dead Kim Mingyu came and bothered everyone. Who knew?

Indignant, Lisa shoved him away. "You're ridiculous, Jungkook!"

Too ridiculous!

Rubbing off her tears, she turned away and ignored him.

Jungkook's voice became depressed and quiet at that. "I told you you're my one and only Life. I never had exes, but you don't believe me".

Lisa's tears stopped and she turned.

The man in her eyes looked clearly hurt, with a dull, unhappy gaze.

He was a far cry from the demon who had saved her.

Her heart a far ached terribly then, and she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I'm sorry...."

She couldn't control her feelings and emotions.

She didn't want to fall headlong into his world, and yet she couldn't help herself.

It was ironies and struggles_ every single time.

Lisa was too hygienic when it came to sentiment. She couldn't accept her man having 'history' with other women, just as she would not dare to admit that Jungkook was hers.

Nonetheless, Jungkook lifted her chin. "Why are you apologizing?"

"You're hurt because of me" Lisa held his injured hand, her thumbs circling over the blood-soaked bandage. "It wouldn't have happened otherwise, and you wouldn't have to kneel...."

Her heart tightened in bitterness once she remembered the sight of him on his knees.

"I'm yours. It's perfectly natural that I get on my knees of you" Jungkook replied, rubbing the dried trails of tears on her face.

"Okay...." She pouted, looking unhappy but feeling a sweet warmth inside.

A faint sadness crossed his face then. "Deal Lili, are you still angry at me?"

She shook her head, biting her lip as she was still a little trouble. "You're hurt because of me; I have no right to be angry...."

That said, there were time she couldn't hold back, and would rather him sweet-talk her as much as she wanted.
