Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman || LK Adaptation

When the movie 'River's Lake' was released, he could already imagine how popular Jieun would become.

An actress who had both the looks and talent weren't that many, and Cheng Zhou thought about if Lisa didn't exist, then Jieun would definitely be his first pick for the female lead for this movie.

After hanging up the phone, Lisa looked at the document that Cheng Zhou had sent her. She then went upstairs to the study, and printed out the script.

Jungkook glanced at her, then put down his book and left the room quietly.

After binding the papers together, Lisa read the script slowly from the beginning. As the female lead, she had a lot of scenes, and the script was a lot thicker than the other roles.

Previously, she would just casually flip through scripts, but this time she read each and every sentence slowly. Every scene was also practiced to perfection in the virtual arena.

Taking out a marker from her inventory, she made notes and marked the lines that belonged to her.

Even though she slowed her pace, she was done with the script very quickly. After reading it finished, she felt slightly bored.

The movie name this time was 'Divergent Paths', and it was a tragic movie. The beginning was uplifting and happy, the middle was impressive and imposing, and the end was a tear jerker.

A cup of milk appeared beside her hand, and Lisa sipped from it. She then placed the script down and walked towards the window, and the lights were blinking outside. Lisa knew that there was something wrong with her attitude at the moment, she was too involved.

She took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?" A warmth settled behind her, and there was a breath on her cheek. It was warm, and slightly moist.

The steady and powerful heartbeat she could feel on her back slowly eased the tension in her shoulders, and she leaned back subconsciously into the comfort. "I just read through the script that Director Cheng sent to me, and was just lamenting a little."

Jungkook tightened his arms around her. "You've accepted another role?"

His voice was slightly raised.

"Yeah, and it's the female lead." She had initially wanted to continue and said that she would be busy from now on, when she suddenly recalled that there were two kissing scenes in the movie. She froze up, all thoughts of what she wanted to say suddenly gone from her mind, only one word left-Die!

She turned her head slightly, looking at Jungkook without a word.

Although she didn't say anything, it seemed the other had seen something in her eyes.

A fire lit in him suddenly, and he leaned down to bite her lips. The moment his lips touched hers though, he couldn't resist as he lowered his head further and deepened the kiss, tightening his arms around her waist.

"It's late, go on and sleep." After a long while, Jungkook finally loosened his arms as he gazed at her with slightly narrowed eyes. His expression was... very happy.

"... Goodnight." She straightened her clothes before picking up the script and walking out.

Just as she opened the door, he grabbed her left hand suddenly. She turned, only to find him lowering his head as he adjusted the front of her dress, before giving her a gentle kiss. "Goodnight."

Touching her red ears, Lisa tightened her hands on the script and walked out quickly. She bumped right into Jihyun who was in the corridor, holding a glass of milk.
