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

Chapter 183

When they reached home and after Lisa turned on the lights, Jungkook embraced her, smelling of alcohol as he nestled into her arms.

"Don't turn on the lights, it's too bright" He said quietly.

Lisa inhaled sharply. Did that even count as acting cute?

Jungkook started to approach her then. She retreated, and both of them eventually fell on the sofa.

He bite her ear. "I'll be away for just a few days, you don't have to miss me....We're getting married when I come back".

She flushed and nodded tamely.

And the night was still long.

****

Omitted.

****

He only let her go at five in the morning.

Lisa pressed him down firmly into the bed when she saw that he wasn't sleeping. "Don't you have flight at seven? Sleep a wink. I'll wake you up".

Jungkook held her then, and so firmly like never before.

As if he would embed her in his bones.

Lisa was a little breathless. "Let me go....are you trying to kill me and then commit a lover's suicide?"

She was joking, but Jungkook's look suddenly turned somber.

"Bang Chan will protect you when I'm gone. You and the kid aren't going anywhere. Hear me?"

Lisa's smile slowly faded when she saw that he was being serious.

She nodded, "Got it....and you take care of yourself".

"Your safety is my greatest happiness" Jungkook held back a smile even as they embraced each other.

Your safety....is my greatest happiness.

The overbearing president was talking love.

Lisa nestled inside his arms and wrapped around his body like an octopus: "Kook, tell me the truth: will it be dangerous in Europe?"

Jungkook's heart softened at how she tenderly voiced his name, again and again.

"It's not dangerous" He said softly.

"Still...." He then paused deliberately, "I'm just afraid that you'll miss my....skill".

Lisa promptly flushed and threw her fists at him. "You're such a jerk!"

"Will you marry this jerk, then?"

"Nope". Lisa pouted.

Both of them leaned into each other quietly then, and the atmosphere became quiet.

Lisa yawned, her eyes becoming watery in fatigue.

Jungkook wiped it off. "Sleep".

"Can't do that....You're leaving soon......" She sounded a little upset.

"Be good, sleep. It's not like I'm not coming back".

Lisa was very sleepy too, but it was after another yawn that she yielded. "Fine".

She wrapped her arms over his neck and kissed him. "I like you the most".

Jungkook started at her sleeping face and chuckled quietly.

I....Like you the mots too.

Lisa's fell sound asleep soon.

Jungkook got up, got dressed and pulled the blanket over her, and left after branding her forehead with a kiss.

He went to Bang Chan's place to fetch the little one, and then Kim Jisoo.

Then, as the group saw him off, he boarded the plane.

****

Lisa had assumed that Jungkook had left only for business.

her confidence quickly lost ground, however after days of missed calls.

Jisoo and her little one would try to calm her down each day that they might be busy and unable to get away from work.

Still, Lisa started to feel a strange panic.

In the past, Jungkook would call her no matter how busy he was.

Why didn't he call her after reaching Europe? Worse, she was calling, and he wasn't answering.

At first, Lisa tried to assure herself that Jungkook was too busy and pressed for time.

It was until the news came three days later, enshrouding the very air of River Town.

There had been armed violence in Europe. The casualty count was 120 dead, 300 injured.

Lisa could not no longer sit around.
