LISA [Liskook]✔️

Chapter 49

HAPPY READING

The weather grew cold so it became hard to take a walk in the garden after dinner. Lisa didn't have to worry about what to do with her spare time though, rather, every time she was free, she fell in love with knitting.

It was a scarf wanted to send to Soobin as a year-end gift as well the for New Year's. She worked diligently so she could send it at approximately the right time.

Since she couldn't care for the garden or take a walk, she poured all her remaining time into the completion of the scarf.

After taking a bath, Lisa waited for Jungkook in the bedroom but even after more time than usual passed, he did not come. As the end of the year approached, he grew remarkably busier.

He either came into the bedroom late or sometimes sent word through the maid for her to sleep first.

Then he would try to stubbornly demand for the one-in-five rest day to be replaced with the missed day but Lisa did not listen to that demand.

This was because she knew that once she listened, there would be no end.

She asked the maid to bring her knitting basket because it seemed like he would be coming in late. She sat on the bed and began to weave the wool into the shape of a scarf.

"What's that?"

At some point, Jungkook came in and was attentively watching the knitting in her hands. She had been completely engrossed in knitting and did not notice him when he came in.

She quickly clean up and arranged the materials into the basket.

"Knitting. I'm knitting a scarf. I want to send it to Soobin."

A wool-knitted scarf. It was an item that was never necessary for Jungkook. He wasn't sensitive to cold so even in the winter, he didn't wear special winter clothing, much less a scarf for children. Perhaps even the gift recipient Soobin would have to make conscious effort to wear that around.

Her choice of white pattern on a red background showed how much she treated Soobin like a little child. He felt a little sorry but he had no choice but to have Soobin wear it throughout the winter.

He'll have to check through the escort planted at the boy's side to make sure the boy really wear it. Jungkook entertained villainous thoughts in his mind.

Although Jungkook didn't want a scarf, he couldn't move his gaze from where she moved to place the basket of knitting wool under the bed. He sent off Soobin, got rid of the baby fox as a free bonus but she did not return to being entirely his like he thought.

He didn't know why there was so many places for her to devote her attention to. When she got a letter from the boy, she was full of obvious excitement for a few days.

'She's my woman before she is the boy's mother.'

He was dissatisfied with the attention she poured on Soobin. He couldn't exactly put it in words so he grumbled inwardly. Moreover, she still had not told him her childhood name.

'But I told you my secret. Although not all of it.'

It wasn't like there had to be a trade-off but...

'Why does that boy, Soobin know but I don't?'

He could never understand where that kid was better than himself.

"Did you learn knitting at a young age?"

Lately, Jungkook used any opportunity he had to ask about her childhood. He was stubbornly determined to hear her childhood name directly from her mouth. He didn't want to ask upfront as he felt like if she told him personally, it was evidence that she'd opened her heart to him to some extent.
