Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 12

She was so, so close to recalling! Lisa was a little agitated. Her eyes darted and she spotted that on the right of his nose bridge, there was a teeny tiny light brown mole that was like star safeguarding his bright moon-like eyes.

Ah!

It immediately struck her and she blurted out, "Jeon Jungkook! You're Jungkook?"

Jungkook lightly tilted his head and purposely gazed at her with a puzzled look. "You're....?"

"I'm Lisa Manoban, Lisa! Have you forgotten?". Lisa completely did not expect to meet Jungkook here. She was astonished but also delighted. After all, he was an old classmate.

"Lisa" Jungkook's expression became somewhat preoccupied.

"Right, I'm Lisa Manoban. Don't you remember me?"

"I do. My childhood trauma".

"Eh...."

That was slightly awkward.

Jungkook: "Thanks to your care, I didn't get to spend a single penny of my allowance during the six years of primary school".

Lisa felt even more awkward. She waved her hands. "You think way too highly of me...."

Jungkook scrutinized Lisa again. He asked incredulously, "How the heck did you became so dark?"

"I've already said, I just came back from military training, why won't you believe me! Eh wait...." Lisa's face changed. "The two of us are in the same batch. You should've gone for military training too. Why didn't you become darker? This doesn't make sense".

"Oh, I skipped a grade, I'm in Year 2 this year".

Lisa was envious. So it was actually possible for a person to be outstanding from young and stay this way while growing up. Lisa was like a prized steed that would always be galloping faster than other mules and donkeys.

"Congratulations". Lisa bite her lips. Her tone was just that teeny weeny bit sour. She then probed, "You're still playing Ice Hockey? I heard Manager Song mentioned that you're the core player of the school team?"

"Mm. They were worried that I have much on my plate and thus hired an assistant. I didn't expect it to be you".

This sentence rudely reminded Lisa that she was here to be Jungkook's assistant.

Jungkook used to be her former lackey. When she pointed to the easy, he absolutely wouldn't dare to venture west. He was even more obedient than her currently lackey Park Jimin.

And now, it was her turn to be his lackey....

This was the downfall of her great dynasty!

How times have changed. Lisa felt a wave of sorrow and was deeply despondent. She was momentarily unable to accept this fact.

She pouted in frustration, her face clearly broadcasting her helplessness.

Jungkook admired her expression from the side. His lips quirked, revealing a faint smile before immediately reassuming his solemn countenance.

Lisa was willing to become anyone's assistant. The only exception was Jungkook. How could she wait on someone who was once her lackey? She faintly shifted her head and said, "I can't take up this job anymore. I just remembered that I have to study well. I'm aiming to go down the academic route in the future".

"Sure, just pay the termination fees".

"What termination fees?"

Jungkook pointed at the contract that she held. "See for yourself".
