My Girlfriend is the Cutest

Chapter 19 Part 1

    Lisa turned her head to look at him. The redness around her eyes had also subsided a lot, “Ah, it’s all because of that story…”

    She summarized from the beginning, and soon came to the climactic part, “…… Then, then the narrator in my headphones said that the female ghost suddenly tapped Kim So-jung. Then!”

    Her eyes opened wide, “Then you tapped me!”

    Jungkook: “………”

    No matter what he imagined, he never could’ve fucking guessed it was because of this.

    No wonder. After she tapped the person in front of her, that woman also had the instinctive reaction to ask for help from the person in front of her, and so on.

   …. And that was how that cursed scene happened.

    He looked at Lisa, whose dark eyes seemed to flood with fear again after retelling the story.

    He couldn’t help but raise his left hand again and touch her head for the second time today, “It’s all right. It’s all fake, a coincidence-“

    “Senior.” The little girl suddenly called him softly, the end of her words carrying a tremor.

    He stopped talking and looked at her.

    She raised her hand and took his hand off her head.

    Then, her large, watery eyes flooded with raging tears again. Clutching his arm like it was her life-saving straw, the corners of her lips were pulled down, and she closed her eyes tightly and cried out bitterly: “Wuwuwuwu this amusement park! This haunted house! Way too deceiving, ah wuwuwu….”

    Jungkook: “……”

    She was crying.

    She was hugging his arm and crying.

    For a second, he actually didn’t know whether he should be happy or sad right now.

    Fuck.

    He once again cursed Taehyung in his heart.

    —

    After Lisa gave him an explanation, she replayed herself getting scared in her mind again. She really bawled for a while before slowly calming down.

    After she became aware of what she was doing, she instantly let go of him, “Sorry, sorry! Senior, I…. didn’t mean to.”

    Reaching the end, her words had gotten weaker and weaker.

    She’d just instinctively wanted to hold onto something, so, she completely unconsciously held his hand that was close by.

    But….

    She glanced at the two red marks left on his arm from her tight grip, and felt her cheeks heat up a little.

    She secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Jungkook.

    His eyes were still on her. Because they were in the shade, the sunlight shone through the leaves onto his well-defined face. Against the patchy light and shadows, his eyes looked brighter than usual. She didn’t know if it was because of the light, or something else.

    He said, “It’s nothing.”

    The voice was as usual; clear and pleasant.

    Lisa absentmindedly froze for a moment. Only when she heard his words did she react with a jolt. She immediately inclined her head, thinking about his expression just now.

    He seemed… not mad?

    It was just that his eyes staring at her were odd….

    Not his usual unbothered and leisurely look, it had a… kind of feeling that was hard to explain.

    Maybe she saw it wrong.

    She wouldn’t dwell on the things she couldn’t understand. No matter what, she was so rude just now, and it was good that he wasn’t angry.

    Lisa exhaled a big sigh of relief. Pulling out some wet wipes from her school bag she’d gotten from some random event, she wiped her face, then turned her head and asked the person beside her, “Um…. senior, I’m okay now. Do you want to go somewhere else?”

    “Okay?”

    After a second, he asked again, “Completely okay?”

    “…… Mhm.”

    She’d been crying for so long that there was nothing left of the little bit of panic from being scared. Besides, it wasn’t like there was really a ghost.

    Also…

    She didn’t know why but, after looking at him just now, her mood inexplicably lifted a bit.

    Lisa smiled a little, “There’s still a long time before we need to gather back. Let’s not sit here and go play something else.”

    Jungkook frowned. Thinking about her appearance just now, and was just about to reject-

    “We bought a full-priced ticket. We have to play the whole day, play enough to get our money’s worth!”

    The little girl stood up and clenched her fist as she spoke.

    Jungkook: “……”

    Alright.

    After walking for a while, he couldn’t come up with something to do. She likes to play bumper cars, so she probably didn’t have much interest in things like the merry-go-round.

    “Do you have something you want to go on?” He asked.

    After crying it all out, Lisa’s mood eased up and she looked at him with light in her eyes, “I want to go on the merry-go-round, senior! Can we?”

    “…… Can, ah.”

    Ay.
