Chapter 33

The Student Union could not be blamed for being nervous. The voting weightage of the "Campus Idol" finals was evenly split between the judges and students votes. This was to gain better engagement from the audience. With this system, past year's events were always a success.

Rigging the students votes would be difficult. This was because every RCU student had to use their student ID to vote. Each student only had one vote and it was impossible to suddenly skewer the votes in a particular direction,

The student Union had never encountered something like this before. Logically, after numerous rounds of selection, shouldn't the resulting contestants be sufficiently passable even if they weren't the best? Who knew that this sort of freak situation could happen....

After numerous discussions by the committee, they decided not to take the risk and shamelessly increased the weightage of the judges vote from 50 to 80%

After stirring a storm for so long. Lisa was finally put in place by the rules.

Jungkook examined the list of judges. Two were music teachers while two were school vice-principal. The remaining two were guests judges invited from outside.

He was acquainted with both vice-principals. He contacted the one he was more familiar with.

"Hello Jungkook" The Vice-Principal's smile as like a wily old fox. "I know why you're calling. Don't worry, I'll be generous with the marks"

"That's not what I meant" Jungkook said.

"Oh?"

"After each performance, there is some time given for the judges to comment and quiz contestants on their performance. I know Lisa isn't too good at singing. But after all, she is still a girl and a little more sensitive. I'm hoping that perhaps it might be possible for you and the other judges to be a bit gentler when giving your criticisms".

Hearing his words, Principal Bang smiled. His voice warmed several notices as well. "Alright, don't you worry"

....

In the end, Lisa only obtained the title of "Top Ten Singer" However, she received a lot of flowers on the stage and also the judges 'Encouragement' Therefore this outcomes was still not too bad.

After the event, the three of the headed out for supper.

As their dormitory buildings were too far away, they did not went back to change. Lisa wore her gown and heels while Yeonjun wore the Tai Chi clothing and Jungkook wore his suit. The three of the looked slightly mismatched as they walked along the streets. What's more, Yeonjun was carrying a large, coarse canvas bag similar to what aunties would carry while grocery shopping. His sword was slotted into it as a slant, and the sword tassel dangled out and swayed with every step he took.

The night breeze was quite chilly. Lisa couldn't help rubbing her arms. Jungkook saw this out of the corner of his eyes. He wanted to take off his jacket for her but felt that it was a little weird to do so.

While he hesitated, Yeonjun had already pulled out a sport jacket from his bag. He passed it to Lisa. "Wear this, it's cold".

Lisa brightened as she took the jacket. "Why did you bring extra clothes? Smart".

Yeonjun pursed his lips. "I was afraid you'll get cold".

Lisa looked down as she fiddled with the zip. Jungkook lowered his head to look at her. From his angle, he could only see part of her Doll-like face and the slightly quirked corners of her lips.

Lisa did not managed to pull the zip even after struggling with it for some time. She remarked, "Is this zip spoilt?" She proceeded to warp herself in the jacket by tightly tugging one and end over another.

"Let me see".

She released the two sides of the jacket when Yeonjun walked in front of her. Yeonjun bent over and pinched the zip. He carefully matched up the two sides and ziiiipppp____

The zip smoothly slid all the way up.

As it passed by Lisa's chest, his face somewhat reddened.

Jungkook watched them with crossed arms. When he saw Yeonjun's face reddened, he gave a cold "humph". Huh, just what was his motive in picking out and passing this faulty jacket to her?

Lisa burrowed her hands into the jacket pockets. She said with a giggling smile. "Your jacket indeed. It only obeys you".

Yeonjun smiled with pursed lips and seemed a little embarrassed.

With her heels, Lisa was roughly the same height as Yeonjun. After he zipped the jacket, the two of them could stare directly into each other's eyes.

Yeonjun's fingers were still on the zip seeming unwilling to let go.

Jungkook could not bear this sight anymore. He abruptly shrugged off his jacket and draped it over Lisa's head.

Lisa's vision was cut off by darkness. Her nose filled with an unfamiliar male scent that lingered on the jacket along with residual warmth. So tugged the jacket off her head and glared at Jungkook. "Jungkook, you lunatic"

"Can't I also be afraid that you're cold Lili?" Jungkook gave an innocent look.

"Well, then, I'm still wearing heels. Aren't you afraid that I'm tired?"

Jungkook raised a brow and looked at her. "I'll carry you. If you want"

Lisa felt that Jungkook was getting more and more shameless. She was about to teach him a lesson when she suddenly saw a person walking towards them. Lisa instantly hooked her hand onto Jungkook's arm and assumed a sweet smile on her face.

Both Jungkook and Yeonjun were momentarily stunned by her actions.

Jungkook followed Lisa's line of sight to see Eunha approaching.

"Hey" Lisa waved to Eunha and gave her a coquettish look.

Looking at how close Lisa and Jungkook were, it was impossible for Eunha to not be envious. Nevertheless, she did not let the envy show. She smiled softly and looked at Lisa. "Lisa, I saw your performance in "Campus Idol" Our whole dorm laughing till our tummies hurt".

"Well, that's still better than getting eliminated in the semi-finals"

Eunha's expression shifted. However, she regained her composure at lightning speed and said abruptly, "Oh right, Jeong Jaehyun is coming to RCU"

Jungkook took in how Lisa's eyes glazed over for a moment at hearing the name "Jeong Jaehyun". Then, she let out a faint "Oh".

Eunha asked again, "Didn't he tell you?"

Lisa did not speak.

Jungkook grabbed Lisa's hand. He told Eunha. "I forbade her from contacting that person".

I think Jungkook really need to up his game if he don't want to get steal by Yeonjun. Lol
