Chapter. 19 - Missing Tooth

Meanwhile, Dad Jeon came over and quickly read Aunt Bae's message. He said brightly, "A bunch of snacks for a 400 yuan screen. So this was how the greatest entrepreneur of this century did business".

Jungkook looked up at his father, as if he father, as if he was looking at a fool, and said, "Money isn't as important as people".

This retort made Dad Jeon feel as if the HP bar above his head had fallen all the way to zero.

He slapped Jungkook on his shoulder, "Dude. your mom isn't here, so tell me honestly. In what year were you reborn? Do you remember any lottery numbers? And what was I like at that time? I will definitely not say it out loud".

Jungkook stood up and picked up and apple. After taking a bite, he said, "Dad, please don't indulge yourself in your imagination".

Suddenly, he felt that something was amiss. He lowered his gaze and saw blood on the apple. A tooth was inserted into it.

He didn't turn around and calmly trekked into the bathroom.

Dad Jeon was left speechless by his son's behavior.

On the other hand, after reading Jungkook's message, Aunt Bae couldn't help it and said to Uncle Bae, "Lisa's tablemate is really good".

Classmate Jungkook had once again changed Aunt Bae's views on 'how smart a child could be'.

It's no wonder why Teacher Lee told her that she could treat him like an adult. He spoke politely with poise and was generous enough to exchange a screen for snacks.

Uncle Bae responded, "It's certainly rare for a kid so young".

Jungkook was certainly a great child, especially when compared to the two spoiled brats from his brother's household. Those two mad Uncle Bae believe that all kids were the same.

Uncle Bae's words reminded Aunt Bae of something, so she asked, "By the way, didn't your brother ask for your assistance to enroll his son into Lisa's school?"

"I refused his request. I told him that the elementary school is quite strict. If they wanted to enroll their kid there, they had to live here permanently".

Aunt Bae was taken aback and said, "No wonder why your mom once told me to register the name of your brother's youngest son into our household registry, since we have no children of our own...."

Uncle Bae frowned, "You don't have to worry about what my mom says. She's always like that. She can't wait to move all my belongings into my brother's house".

"With Lisa here, I don't think that she will bring this up again". Aunt Bae comforted him.

Uncle Bae nodded, "No matter what she says, don't worry about it".

There was still a monthly pension. Both of them were well-paid, especially Aunt Bae. In recent years, they bought a house and a car. They never had any major expenses, so they had quite a bit of savings.

They chatted for a while. Aunt Bae looked at Uncle Bae, who sat next to her, and noticed that he seemed a little unhappy. She realized that it musta be because of what she had said.

In fact, Uncle Bae's mother allowed his brother's younger son to live in their household. It wasn't just for studying. Although she didn't explain things clearly, Uncle Bae was a sensible person who could deduce why she did that. This predicament brought him nothing but unhappiness.

Uncle Bae leaned over and kissed him on the face. Then, she leaned on him, "Lisa's condition is getting better and better now. She told me a lot of things along the way today. She also raised her hand to answer questions in class".

Uncle Bae stroked her head, "She's going to get better and better in the future".

Before Little Lisa departed for school the next morning, Aunt Bae asked her, "Would you like to take more snacks to school today?"

Of course, Aunt Bae didn't mind that Lisa shared her food with Jungkook. She just wanted her to eat some more.

Lisa looked at the food and recalled how Jungkook helped her yesterday, so she took a bag of snacks and fruits with her.

After her arrival at school. she put all the snacks into Jungkook's desk once more.

Soon, Jungkook arrived at school. Strangely, Jungkook didn't greet Little Lisa and directly sat down into his seat.

This perturbed Little Lisa. She remembered that she had left in a hurry yesterday without telling him that she would see him tomorrow.

Could he be angry because of that?

Little Lisa whispered, "Good morning?"

Jungkook hummed in response and handed her a note, "Lisa, good morning".

Little Lisa froze for a moment, turned her head and saw Lisa catching up on his homework.

His face was taut, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked a little unhappy.

Traces of Lisa's heart. She squeezed her hand. She wanted to talk to him. But since he was busy, she dared not disturb him. So Little Lisa could only watch him from the side.

After Jungkook completed his homework, he turned his head and saw Lisa staring at him.

Jungkook was stunned for a moment and reflexively uttered, "What's wrong?"

While he was speaking, Lisa's gaze zeroed in on his missing front tooth....

Shock and dismay enveloped Lisa for a moment. Then, she quickly grabbed his hand. With tears cascading from her eyes, she asked him in a hushed voice, "Did they beat you?"

Once she got him, she would be Aunt Bae to let Jungkook stay in their house. She would share her food with him in the future....

Shock and dismay else engulfed Jungkook for a moment. Then, a realization struck him. Little Lisa's teeth should've fallen out before, but it happened at the same time as her beatings. She probably thought that she lost her teeth, because she was struck.

At first, he believed that his missing tooth would tarnish his image; therefore, he didn't want to speak with anyone. But he didn't want to see Lisa so sad and apprehensive, "Nobody beat me".

Jungkook took out a notebook and started to draw on it, "We are born with two sets of teeth".

While speaking and drawing, he found it difficult to speak, because of the gap between his teeth. But, he still spoke soberly, "The bottom set is stronger, so when it's time to come out, the top one will fall off naturally. I was eating when it did".

Jungkook didn't mention that his tooth fell out while he was eating an apple, nor did he mention that his dad had teased him gleefully for an entire day. His dad still continued to tease him.

Lisa probably understood it. She breathed a sigh of relief and realized that Jungkook knew a lot of things.

Jungkook looked at the little girl's adoring eyes, then turned his head to the glass window next to him. Then, he grinned....

It's such a shame to be a child.
