Chapter 39

Jungkook rolled his eyes at her and pulled on his shirt, not finding her observation amusing at all.

"Listen," he started before she could find the right words to explain herself without sounding offensive. "I won't go through this shit again, Lisa"

Wait.

What shit was he going to go through again?

"What?"

"I won't play the secret boyfriend again just because your parents won't like a guy like me," he told her clearly, marking boundaries with a frown and a slightly arched brow. He was angry.

"I know, I know," she sighed and reached out to take his hand, noticing that he was taut like a guitar string. "But I had to because-"

"You're embarrassed, I know," he finished for her, sighing in distaste but with bitter resignation as he pulled away from her, almost jerking his hand away from her grasp.

Lisa tilted her head back, blinking.

What?

Embarrassed? Of him?

She?

What the hell?

"I'm not embarrassed of you," she objected, frowning. But then it hit her, the meaning of his words, what he was implying and what was surely going through his mind. Lisa scoffed, crossing her arms. "Are you serious, Jungkook? Are you really thinking this is a Tzuyu's situation?"

"Why are you bringing her up?" he asked her like she was crazy.

"Because you are relating this situation to her and I know it," she accused him, getting angry because she was sick of paying for someone else's sins when she never did anything and this was really offensive. How could he even believe that she was embarrassed?

Jungkook frowned and tossed his hair back, chuckling bitterly as he thought about it. Lisa's heavy breathing filled the silence meanwhile.

"Listen, I came clean about you, I introduced you to my family, to my friends," he pointed with his fingers. "And all you did when meeting people of your class was saying 'oh he's my good friend Jungkook' or push me to the fucking bathroon, hiding me. So, yes, maybe I am thinking this is a "Tzuyu's situation" and sorry if it crossed my mind that you're embarrassed of me like my ex used to be," he admitted sarcastically, dragging the words to sound even more ironic.

"People of my class?" she asked, getting hit quickly by a wave of offense. She wasn't like people in her class, a lot of people in her class weren't like that anyway and since when was he so damn classist? And that wasn't even the problem! "And not everything is about someone being embarrassed of you! Not everyone thinks you're a loser like you think about yourself, Jungkook! Specially me!" she spat in his face, truly furious.

Couldn't he see how great he was? All the good that was in him? And even if he didn't see it, wasn't she the damn person in the relationship bringing out every little good thing about him, praising him like an idiot? And he was suddenly doing these rudeness?

"This is not about me thinking I am a loser, it's about you pushing me to the bathroom in the exact moment your mother shows up and LYING about our trip," he raised his voice for the first time since they started dating because he was so angry like her, clearly outraged as he should be. "I wouldn't be surprised if you lied about us too"

Lisa gritted her teeth, swallowing hard because she couldn't even deny that and she would have liked to, so the situation was less against her.

Jungkook laughed not at all amused. "Of course! She doesn't know we're dating, right? Right, Lisa?" he inquired approaching her with slow steps, smiling but he was not sincere.
