[2] Reborn [Jirose Adaption]

Chap273-Night market

Squeals erupted from the crowd. Both the students and school leaders were stirred up.

It wasn't clear who began causing a commotion. The large screen that was initially used to display the event suddenly focused on the two of them. In an instant, it allowed everyone to gain a clear view of the scene of Park Jimin bringing Roseanne into his arms and giving her a kiss.

The crowd was shouting and making noise as waves of people approached them. They completely surrounded the couple as they brought their phones out to record this extremely torturous scene of PDA.

Roseanne, whose breathing was already slightly uncomfortable from the heat, immediately turned scarlet. She subconsciously tried to push him away but was unable to!

Aaaaah!

She was going mad!

Park Jimin was typically even more low-key than her!

Wasn't he supposed to be unbelievably cold and indifferent?

It was fine that they usually tortured Kim Seokjin and Lisa here and there. But this was University's anniversary celebration! There were several thousand people present!

What on earth was that on the screen! Why were they displayed on the screen?

Roseanne really could not push him away. Finally, when the man released her because the crowd around them had grown too large, Roseanne buried her face into his shoulder and did not dare to reveal her face any longer.

By the side, Ryujin had revealed a rare smile. She scanned the crowd and caught Soo young's desolate, ashen, and disillusioned expression. Ryujin then shifted her gaze away with a cold smile.

It was only a kiss. For a pair of husband and wife, this was something that occurred frequently. However, for the youthful hearts of the male and female students, especially since it occurred on University's one-hundred-year-anniversary celebration, this could be considered a historical moment.

Park Jimin did not pay much attention to the crowd around them. He embraced the embarrassed Roseanne, holding her waist. "Didn't you say that our honeymoon period is over? Why are you embarrassed?"

Her cheeks were burning in his embrace: "There are too many people here..."

Park Jimin: "Did your legs turn weak?"

Roseanne : "A little..."

Park Jimin: "I'll carry you back?"

Roseanne: "..."

—-

The worst had yet to end. Roseanne feared that after the celebration ended, they would be blocked by throngs of Park Corporation's fans or lovestruck little girls.

As expected, as she headed into one of the rooms in the venue to change out of her gown and prepare to leave with Park Jimin, there were already quite some people waiting by the entrance. It seemed like some of the reporters who had attempted to enter the venue had heard about what happened inside. They were all eager as they guarded the gates, hoping to take a picture of the President Park the legends spoke of.

Finally, Roseanne could only choose to tug the cold and indifferent Boss Park, who rarely made such a high-profile entrance, to sneak out from the back. Rather than sneaking out, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that she had forcefully pulled on his arm to leave with her. The man was amused as he watched her sneak around like a thief. Roseanne kept her back bent, as though she was hiding away from paparazzi, and carefully walked out.

The back entrance wasn't as wide, and it faced most bustling night market.

The moment she stepped out of the back entrance, she heard someone calling her name. She immediately grabbed Park Jimin and ran into the crowd. Her grip around his wrist was deathly tight as she ran.

After several minutes, she came to an abrupt stop. She rested her palms on her knees, gasping for breath. She then reached up to unbutton several buttons on her coat to breathe easily.

She turned back to see that this was a more crowded area inside the night market. People were constantly passing through, and both sides of the crowd were filled with small stalls. In such a place, it was unlikely the large group could have squeezed in. Even if they did manage to enter, it would be a difficult feat to find them.

Roseanne released a soft breath, glancing over to see that one of his hand was still tightly held by her. His other hand was casually placed in his pocket as he lowered his eyes to watch her flustered appearance from only several minutes of running. He appeared to be hiding a smile.

"Your stamina is so poor, yet you still tried to run while dragging me with you?"

Roseanne took a long moment to compose her breathing. She stood up straight, scanned behind them before narrowing her eyes at him. "That's because I played all the games at the venue earlier. There were too many people there, and it was too hot. You sure are amazing, after running so fast with me, you don't appear even slightly breathless!"

Seeing Roseanne's angered expression and her reddened cheeks, Park Jimin spoke heavily so that only she could hear. "With your stamina, if you don't train yourself well, you'll only find it harder and harder to survive around me."

"..."

She immediately understood his hidden meaning. Roseanne raised a hand to fan her cheeks, glaring at him "Did you come to help me save the show, or did you come to provoke me?"

Park Jimin hid a smile. There was originally a short distance between the two of them. He suddenly took a long step forward and, right before Roseanne could take a subconscious step back, he bent down to lean closer to her. Roseanne was immediately forced to lean backward. The man suddenly held her waist with one hand, pushing her toward his embrace and forcing her to press close to him.

"Acting like the victim after receiving a benefit; who was the one who said that the gown is too luxurious and beautiful. If you attend the school anniversary alone, you'll feel lonely?

"...ah? Did I say that?"

"You said it with your eyes."

"..."

"I specially made time out to fly over. I took an evening flight from South Korea, and I'll have to fly back first thing tomorrow morning. It's fine that you didn't even express your gratitude, but now you're going to be petty with me over a simple kiss?"

"Was that a simple kiss? There were so many people in the venue, I..."

Before she could finish, the man's lips approached once more. "Are you trying to make me kiss you again here?"

Roseanne's gaze immediately shifted to the side. She saw that the passersby were all watching them with envious eyes and quickly took a flustered step backward. She raised a hand to hold her burning face; she was unbelievably embarrassed.

"But, who would have thought that there would be a night market here?" Roseanne glanced toward the various food and clothing stalls by the sides. All of a sudden, she took a deep breath in and knitted her brows to say: "What's that smell? It's so stinky."

As she spoke, she noticed two young ladies by the side. They held several skewers of fried stinky tofu and were eating as they strolled along.

Her eyes brightened. She directly approached the stall nearby and fixed her eyes on the golden cubes being fried in a large wok of oil. "This is stinky tofu?"

The owner standing by the wok handed the prepared stinky tofu to someone else while answering with a smile. "That's right! Young lady, would you like to get a skewer of stinky tofu?"

Although it didn't smell great, it looked quite appetizing. There were also many people who were buying it.

In her previous life, back when she was in the Lin family, Roseanne rarely came to such places. Afterward, even when she had the opportunity to pass by, she didn't have the spare cash to taste the food offered here.

After two lives, she suddenly gained the desire to taste stinky tofu.
