MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 109

Lisa was so nervous her palms were sweating.

He smiled sinisterly then. "You were saying that I'm your man?"

"No" Lisa quickly denied, afraid that he would misunderstand. "I....said that to annoy her".

However, Jungkook kept watching her in silence, as if it was a quiet interrogation.

She racked her brains trying to come up with an explanation. "Don't look at me like that. I was only trying to provoke her...."

He remained silent, which drive her out of her mind.

Could it be that he is angry that she made Old Madam Jeon angry?

After all, he was a good grandson to him.

"Are....Are you mad at me for making her angry?"

Please say something, bro.

While she would admit that she had been overstepping, she felt good.

"I won't do that again", She added dishonestly, "So could you please....huh?"

Jungkook had suddenly gathered her into his arms tightly, to the point that she had trouble breathing.

He was so tall that Lisa had to keep her head tilted upwards and stand on her toes to hug him.

Breathing heavily, he buried his head on her shoulder.

Lisa could feet that he was shaking a little, but he suddenly freed her when she was about to console him.

He looked at him, his eyes flickering with broken lights as he smiled. "What should I do? I think I love you even more now".

Lisa felt her blood boil in an instant, surging into her heart before exploding.

He was actually saying that he loves her.

She thought that she had suddenly fallen into a can of honey.

Lisa stared at him dumbly as her head went blank, unsure how to react at once.

Jungkook watched her dumbfounded gaze and inched closer, pressing down.

Tonight, he had been as mild as water.

Holding his lapel, Lisa felt a little nervous.

For the first time, she felt that kisses could be so....

Enjoyable.

When he pulled away, she could see herself distinctly in his clear pupils.

She suddenly thought about her conversation with Old Madam Jeon, and that he must have been upset when he listened in on them outside the door.

As if compelled by a mysterious force, Lisa embraced him.

He clearly stiffened for a moment before returning the hug.

Meanwhile, the nearby room was left in utter confusion.

Old Madam Jeon's condition was awry, and yet Lisa and Jungkook had each other in their arms, as if they were the only humans left in the world.

Lisa closed her eyes.

His warm chest was heating her cold body, and she had an impulse of wanting to stay with him until they grew old....

Beneath brows, Jungkook's eyes were dim, glimmering with watery light.

It was the first time she praised him and defended him, even bragged proudly about.

He had been scolded since he was a child.

The reason no one would scold him now was because he took a seat that would leaves other cowed.

Indeed, they did not curse him because they were afraid, not because they accepted him.

He had still blamed himself for being a bastard, someone undesirable. 

But now no longer.

He was now someone Lisa was proud of, and he would be that until the end.

Lisa calmed and pulled away, she scratched her head awkwardly. "Well....things don't look well for your grandma, should we go see?"

Jungkook smiled tenderly. "Alright"

That was when Mr. Park arrived upstairs with the little one.

"Mommy!" He quickly let go of Mr. Park's hand and happily ran to Lisa, looking up at her. "Eh? Why are your lips so red Mommy....Oh! You're making sister with Daddy again!"

'What are you talking about!'

Lisa felt her cheeks go hot and stared at him threateningly. "I'll smack you if you say more!"

The little one pouted and snorted.

He was becoming less confident with Jungkook since his sister had yet to arrive.

'Yeah, Daddy is too weak'.

And in her room, Old Madam Jeon was breathing into an oxygen mask on a bed, her eyes closed in exhaustion. It was as if Lisa's provocation had taken off half of her lifespan, and she did not look like she had any vigor.
