Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 41

In front, having been interrupted, the white-haired professor searched for the source of the commotion. When he saw that it was Jungkook, he forgave him immediately. Jungkook was an excellent student and he must had some emergency to act this way.

In this eye-catching manner, Jungkook strode out the classroom.

When he stepped into the corridor, he let out a harsh exhale.

But this exhale was not enough to release his frustrations. His feelings were a tangled knot that weighted on his chest. Like dark and heavy storm clouds, it loomed over his heart and refused to leave.

He walked out of the school building. Holding his phone, he dialled Lisa's number.

Ring____

The phone had barely rang twice when he hung up without waiting for Lisa to pick up.

What could he say after calling her....Jungkook gave a self-deprecating laugh. A glaring truth lay in front of him_ he did not even have the rights to question her.

From the start, he had never entered her world.

No, he had.

Even earlier than Jaehyun, earlier than Yeonjun.

If only, at that time....

Jungkook shook his head.

Like was like a series of questions; once an answer had been given, it was impossible to change it. There was no such thing as "If".

Even though he understood this principle, it did not stop him from feeling melancholic.

Hands in his pocket, Jungkook wandered across the campus aimlessly like lonely spirit.

He tormented himself by visualized the individual scenes of Lisa and Yeonjun's date. When he was done, he came to the realization that no matter what, he would never, ever tolerate them being together.

Even though this did not seem to make sense, he did not care_ he simply would not agreed.

....

Having thought this through, he went to relook at the gossip in a calmer mood.

However, as he read on, he began to feel a little distressed again_ the whole world was cursing at Lisa.

Jungkook was unable to continue after a short while. Even if it was only over the internet, he was unable to accept Lisa being insulted by others like this.

Malicious words were like a knife. Stab by stab, it would strike at a person's most vulnerable spots. No matter how thick Lisa's skin was, she was only a girl. What's more, she was someone who was very conscious of her image.

Jungkook was still brainstorming on how to turn the public opinion around when he received Lisa's WeChat message.

Lisa: "Ice Dog, why did you call me? Do you know that I've been completely dragged through the mud because of you!"

Jungkook: "I'm sorry".

Lisa: "...."

Jungkook's apology came too fast, making Lisa a little unaccustomed. Furthermore, she felt that Jungkook was a victim of this incident as well. After all, he was now completely green in the eyes of everyone in school....

Jungkook: "Where are you now?"

Lisa: "I just skipped class. I'm going to train. Right now, only exercise can drive away my misery".

Jungkook: "I'll join you?"

Lisa: "Please don't. There's no need. I'll be at the at the ice stadium. You know what. Let's not meet up in this period of time. The closer you are to me, the greener you are in everyone's eyes, get it?"
