Chapter 40 • Pt. 2

Start from the beginning
                                        

The boy smiled nervously and nodded although it was clear that he didn't want to.

Jungkook arched a brow and looked at the basic-looking guy standing at his side. The guy from the other day? What day? What happened?

"Aw, sorry I can't show you my abs, I'm in a relationship now," she teased and loved how red the boy's cheeks turned as he cleared his throat.

Wait, showing him what?

Abs?

Jungkook blinked... Was this an ex or-

"Didn't I tell you to stop bothering the staff?" Preeda scolded her but gently and through a smile that screamed "stop doing that", it was something new for Jungkook as his mother could yell at him or kick him under the table.

Lisa tilted her head. Yes, her mother told her that, but this way Lisa was going to keep the attention away from Jungkook. "Did you? Oh... I don't remember," she said sweetly and cluelessly, tangling a strand of black hair in her finger.

"So, now it's black," Preeda pointed out, her gaze sliding down her long, shiny hair, and Lisa nodded.

"Yes, it was Jungkook's idea"

...It wasn't??????

It was his apparently amazing dyeing skills but he for sure didn't get the idea.

Jungkook frowned, shooting her an incredulous look but Lisa had her eyes on her mother and a smile too calm not to look psycho.

What the hell was going on?

Why did they both exude so much aggression in lowercase?

"He loves black hair, just like you, mom. Isn't it cute to share preferences? "

Preeda frowned not at all happy with that idea which offended Jungkook just a little bit and she leaned back in her chair, rejecting the said idea. "So when I say you should go back to black you say no, but when he-" and that he was really contemptuous. "-says it, you just do it?"

"Mother, he's dating me and you married dad, I think it's clear whose taste is more trust-worthy"

Okay, that one was funny.

Jungkook didn't think it was very bad taste to marry a handsome, wealthy guy like Lisa's father, but the comment and the expression on his mother's face was a humorous act worth paying for.

Ananda ignored them and leaned across the table, clasping his hands in front of his mouth, three gold rings shone under the restaurant light and Jungkook gulped before his deep, dark gaze but found it interesting how wearing gold jewelry seemed to be something that everyone in Lisa's family enjoyed. "So, what do you do for a living? Do you study?" he asked even though his face clearly said he expected a negative answer.

Because of course a boy like him, full of tattoos, wouldn't study.

What did all these people think he was doing? Snorting dubious substances, smoking, and living in his mother's basement?

Tattoos are expensive! Anyone with a lot of tattoos probably works to pay for them.

Besides, his mother didn't have a basement and she would never have let him use it if she had.

"Yes, I study," he nodded.

"Lisa said you're an artist "

"A hippie artist with doubtful hygiene," Preeda added.

What?

He could take hippie, BUT DOUBTFUL HYGIENE?!

Lisa looked at him apologetically. "I was actually making a joke, a reference from something they said before," she explained and then glared at her parents. "I think it was obvious"
