Chapter 39

"Fine! They don't! But it's not because I'm embarrassed of you Jungkook!"

"Then show it!" he demanded.

Lisa laughed in disbelief and aggressively pointed herself. "You think I don't show it? So all those times of me being proud of you, literally talking good about you, showing you off on my social media accounts and all those times when we were walking around the streets together, kissing out there, acting like a normal couple, are just, I don't know, a freaking dream for you? That didn't happen?"

Jungkook looked around like he was looking for cameras because he couldn't believe that she mixed things up. "Yes, but we're not talking about that! We're talking about what just happened!"

"What just happened doesn't define our whole relationship and doesn't say I'm fucking embarrassed of you!" she closed his mouth leaving him clenching his jaw again. "See?" she emphasized it by nodding decisively and crossed her arms again. "You are really expecting me to be like her, right?" she finally asked him even though she knew the answer but she wanted to hear it from his mouth for once.

"Like who? What the hell are you talking about?"

So, he was that clueless? He was going to act clueless now?

"Like Tzuyu!" she spat at him and he rolled his eyes again, sighing exasperated. "You are so ready to think the worst of me, all the time, and I'm tired of it," she confessed, recalling in her mind all those times when he assumed she was just another rich girl expecting things from him. Rich girl, like on the damn Busan trip. "Like in Busan"

"The trip you told your mother it was work? Are you working while being with me?" he went there directly, no stuttering, no doubts, fuming.

"That wasn't my point!" she raised her voice to silence him. "All that bullshit you said about giving me the best, was it because you think that me, LISA, want that or because the stupid of your ex would want that?"

He scrunched up his face in disbelief. "What the fuck, Lisa? It was all about you!"

"Then when the fuck I made you think I'd like something fancy and classy? When?!"

"Are you even aware of the place you live in?" he spread his arms to point to the penthouse that was probably the size of his family house in the suburbs of Seoul. "What about your family? And the way you dress?"

"What does all that have to do with this?" her voice grew high-pitched without understanding anything.

"It screams expensive! So, is it that crazy that I think you would prefer something fancy and classy?!"

Lisa still didn't understand what the hell it had to do with it, it wasn't like she was acting like a freaking Kardashian. She worked hard, she struggled, she studied, she was just as ordinary a person as he was.

And she knew all too well that this was coming from his misconception that Tzuyu herself had created in his mind. God, Lisa was getting more and more enraged as the pieces fell into the right places in the puzzle. "You know I am not like her but sometimes it feels like you're disappointed that I'm not out there, being embarrassed of you, fucking another guy," she murmured resentfully.

This time it was the turn for Jungkook to scoff in disbelief. "You're taking this completely out of context, Lisa. I never expected that from you!" he told her exalted. "You're not like her! You know it! I," he patted his chest. "-know it!"

"Ah, so then why the first thing you assume is that I'm embarrassed of you?" she approached like a lurking viper but this time he didn't shrink from her, looking at her with dark eyes because he didn't appreciate the tone or the situation they were in, prowling like angry snakes trying to protect their own —in this case, their hearts. "If I'm that crazy and taking this out of context, why would you think I'm embarrassed of you? Who was embarrassed of you the last time? Who was a fucking rich girl embarrassed of you?" she demanded with a frown and got no response, of course. He could act as clueless as he wanted but the truth would always come out and that truth was a huge shit that was hurting her. "See? You say I'm not like her but you see her in me. It's like you're really expecting me to disappoint you and be like her, like you don't take into consideration all we did or all I am because you still see her in me, you really think I am Lisa, the rich girl 'I'm dating that will be embarrassed of me sooner or later and will break my heart'," she made a huskier voice, overreacting with irony at how furious she was because she really couldn't believe that Jungkook saw her like this despite everything. "You thought I was embarrassed of you when I labeled us as best friends in front of your mom and, as you just said, you thought I was embarrassed of you in front of "people of my class". You really think I am embarrassed of you like she was and even have the damn audacity to say it at my face!" she accused him again.
