To Our Pure Little Beauty

Chapter 33

……

Jungkook glared at me for the duration of a century, finally he gave a long sigh and said, “Indeed I worried too much back in the day, what do you have that is worth respecting.”

Nah, this big brother, it’s really rude of you to speak this way.

At noon, Jungkook gave me a call during my lunch break, saying that the air conditioner had already been installed properly. I vigorously praised his efficiency at getting things done, then proposed that I would reward him well tonight, on that end of the phone, he “ee”-ed and “oh”-ed, and laughed really erotically, I felt really wronged, what I meant was that I would buy delicious food for him……

I got off work first, I bought a large pile of delicious things and ran to the hospital to meet Jungkook when he got off work.

This pile of delicious things included two cups of ice-cream, but till the point when the ice-cream melted into two cups of muddy liquid, I still did not manage to have Jungkook and I feeding each other bite after bite like I had envisioned. This was because, at the hospital entrance, I ran into Sehun and that girlfriend of his who was the purest woman in the world – Joy.

My mouth was open so wide it could at least cram in a fist.

Sehun came over and clapped my shoulder, “Why, are you astonished by your sister-in-law’s good looks?”

I closed my mouth slowly, and was dragged by him to face Joy, he said, “Joy, this is my best friend Lisa. Lisa, Joy, my girlfriend.”

Joy’s complexion was as white as paper, she moved the corners of her mouth a few times to try and break out into a smile, but she didn’t succeed.

I stared at her, I guessed my expression currently was one of alarm.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Sehun clapped me again, “Do you know each other?”

“We don’t know each other.” Joy rushed to speak, the expression in her eyes was that of total pleading as she looked at me.

Sehun looked at me puzzledly, I forced a smile, “I thought she looked a little familiar, it’s possibly because she’s too pretty.”

Sehun asked, “You came to find Jungkook ?”

I nodded my head, my eyes fixed on Joy, “How about you guys? Why would you arrange to meet at the hospital entrance? Does Miss Joy have a friend who is ill?”

Joy avoided my gaze, “I don’t, we just arranged to meet here.”

“Oh, then that’s great,” I said, but even I could tell that my tone of voice was rather peculiar.

Sehun appeared to be thinking about something, but he too didn’t pursue the matter, he only crooked his finger and tapped my head, “Did you sprain your tongue, be more courteous to my wife.”

I curled my lip, “Fine, you want your wife and don’t want your friends.”

Sehun ignored me, and held Joy’s hand. He used a tone of voice that was so intimate til I wanted to vomit and said, “Let’s ask Lisa and her boyfriend to eat with us, okay?”

Joy’s face continued to be pale, but she gently and agreeably nodded her head, “Okay.”

Tut…… This old woman and this old woman’s husband might not necessarily be willing to eat with you guys.

Jungkook started when he saw Joy, and looked at me in puzzlement, I shook my head, he smiled and sat down.

Sehun introduced the two of them again, Jungkook smiled and nodded his head and said, “Hello.”

Joy lowered her head and also said, “Hello.”

This meal progressed in a strange atmosphere, the only one who was comparatively more at ease was Jungkook, the evidence was that old man ate his own portion and still ate half of mine, he even insisted on taking that two ice creams in my plastic bag that had melted into liquid to throw away, even though I kept on emphasising that once I put it back into the fridge, it would become a good lad again after one hour.

Just before we separated, I specially exchanged phone numbers with Joy, saying that if we were free, we should exchange our insights into being someone else’s girlfriend.

The moment I got onto Jungkook’s car, I began to pitter-patter and say malicious words about Joy, Jungkook also didn’t respond, only till I was tired of talking did he say, “What are you being so stirred up for?”

“She and that Secretary Kim! They…… Aye, I’m so angry I could die!”

“What’s it got to do with you?” He said.

He had a point, but we often believed that we had the right to criticise others, and I had this shortcoming.

I said, “Before this, I didn’t have any opinion of Joy, but she’s together with Sehun! Sehun! How can I turn a blind eye to this?”

Jungkook glanced at me coldly, “Why can’t you?”

I didn’t know how to explain it to him, I could only repeatedly emphasis, “He is Sehun! He is Sehun! Plus, he doesn’t know anything, he is Sehun ! Sehun!”

I believed that if anyone heard me, they would definitely think that Sehun was the new leader of the country who had just taken office.

Jungkook suddenly pressed the brakes violently.

With all my might, I steadied my body that had almost flown out, then slowly turned around to look at him, “You had better tell me that there was a dog or a ghost that had appeared in front of us or something, if not I’m going to strangle you to death.”

Jungkook ignored me, his face darkened as he said, “Must you have such a big reaction to Sehun dating?”

I explained and said, “The main point is not that he is dating, it’s who he is dating, you don’t know, Sehun’s family has quite a complicated story, I feel that he is more suited to have a simpler relationship.”

Jungkook sneered, “What relationship is simple? One with you?”

Ah? Ah!

I first stared blankly, after that I was suddenly enlightened. I pointed at him and said disbelievingly, “You, you can’t possibly be jealous…… You weren’t jealous of Taehyung…… You’re jealous of Sehun…… Are you out of your mind?”

Jungkook pulled a long face and didn’t answer me, I too didn’t bother about it, mainly because the shock I had received was too great. You think about it, normally Jungkook exhibited a face of ‘I am an adult, I never get randomly jealous’, so I as his girlfriend, though I undoubtedly wanted to be unreasonably jealous when I saw the granddaughter of that Secretary Kim, when I saw that expression on his face that was so open and candid that he could act as a People’s Liberation Army uncle, together with that image of his that was forever magnanimous and forever reasonable, I was too embarrassed to do so.

The car stopped at the side of the road for a good ten minutes, I reminded him, “That, let’s go home before being jealous, okay?”

Jungkook lifted his hand up, I suspected that he wanted to point his middle finger at me, but he didn’t, he only started the car.

I attempted to explain him as the car advanced en route, “Sehun wouldn’t like me, if he did like me we would have gotten together in high school, so don’t let your imagination run wild.”

His face became even more sour, that’s right…… That’s exactly the effect I wanted.
