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

Chapter 169

It was an unidentified number.

She answered it.

"Where have you gone to, Jungkook?! Don't you know that I'm worried about you? Come back now, please?!" The woman's voice was very kind of girl and spoiled like a sheltered lady.

It was clearly not Jeon Yeo-been either, but another woman.

Lisa's eyes narrowed for seconds as her brain worked furiously.

She was asking for Jungkook and was worried about him.

Clearly, that woman didn't know where Jungkook had gone, and he was panting when he arrived here.

So....this was the woman who had saved Jungkook?

"Hello? Are you there, Jungkook? Jungkook?"

Lisa cleared her throat, and spoke with an edge to her politeness. "Are looking for Jeon Jungkook?"

The woman calling was clearly surprised. "May I know who you are? Why do you have Jungkook's phone?"

Lisa sneered, with her voice still vague as she asked another question in return. "Then may I know who you are?"

"I-I am Jungkook's girlfriend". The woman replied, before suddenly exclaiming in surprise. "Oh, I know. You're a maid in Jungkook's house, right? Is he at home now? I'll come right now!"

"Really, Jungkook!" The woman pouted playfully. "He told me he is going to buy my favorite porridge, but he never came back. I guess he went home....Oh we didn't see each other for so long. I miss him so much...."

Unable to bear it any longer, Lisa did not wait for the woman to finish before hanging up and smashing the phone on the floor to ease her rage, even a little.

Meanwhile

Hwasa watched as the call was being hung up, a mocking sneer showing on her face.

Lifting her champagne glass for a slip, she walked up to the window and clicked her tongue. "Oh, Lisa, Lisa. You must be so angry right now but that's what you deserve! I want you to know that relationships not built in feelings would break at the slightest touch!"

With that, she chugged down the champagne and lifted, it before freeing her fingers and letting the glass drop and smash into pieces, reflecting the sun on her vicious face.

On the other hand, Lisa was breathing heavily.

It was as if blood was pooling out of her heart and streaming out without stopping.

Jungkook has a girlfriend?

He actually has a girlfriend? How could she not know?

That woman said that they didn't meet for a long time, so could it be a long-distance relationship?

Lisa shook her head to stop herself from imagining things, but her mind unwittingly came up with many scenes that made her upset.

The door to the sickroom was opened and Jungkook walked in.

He saw his phone lying on the ground and arched his back to pick it up.

Then, just as he was about to ask about it, he looked up to find Lisa's having red circles over her eyes and messy hair.

His heart tightened. "What is it?"

He put his things on a cabinet and went hug her although she didn't avoid him and reacted more or less the same as usual, he had a feeling that something was out of place.

Jungkook turned on his phone and checked the logs.

He recognized Hwasa's number.

It seems that the accursed woman said something she shouldn't.

Jungkook pulled her into his arms it hurt his heart that she didn't struggle.

He held up her face and gently said, "What did you talk about?"

Lisa did her best to smile brightly. "Nothing. She asked where you've gone, and I said you went out to get something".

She didn't want Jungkook to know that she was very, very sad, just as she didn't want act like a spoiled child, she could throw a fit with without restraint.

And yet....

She hated that side of herself: no matter how much warmth and love Jungkook would give her, she could not stop herself from believing all that she had heard.

After all, no one knew about their past.

And Lisa's relationship with Jungkook was build upon the scab of her own wounds.

And the more voices she heard, the more the scab was being torn and in the end, the new flesh that had just grown underneath would be utterly exposed to the air.
