Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 98

Lisa, "Jungkook, I had something on went back last night. I didn't tell you beforehand as I was afraid that you'll be worried".

Jungkook felt that something was amiss. While having breakfast, he was lost in thoughts. When Kim Mingyu swiped away the peeled egg he held and swapped it with a ball of napkin, Jungkook raised the napkin to his mouth without realizing. Mingyu was shocked. He quickly stopped him, took away the napkin and returned the egg.

Jungkook snapped out of his daze and picked up his phone to re-listen to message.

He realized what was wrong. Lisa was upfront in her actions and always told him immediately whenever something happened. The vague excuse of "I had something on" was out of character for her.

Besides, if she returned to Rain City last night, she should already be back when she sent the message to him this morning. Based on how people usually talked, she should have said, "Came back instead of "Went back".

Jungkook narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. In the end, he still decided to call her directly. "Hey, where are you?"

Lisa paused for a moment. Then, she replied, "Where else can I be? In school, of course".

When she spoke, there was a howling sound in the background that should be the wind. When Jungkook heard the wind, he gave a slight frown.

Beijing was experiencing such large gales these days.

Jungkook said, "Mm, have a good lesson. I heard Jimin said that it's going to rain. Did you bring your umbrella?"

"Yes, I did. Jungkook, do you think I'm stupid? I'm heading to class now, gonna hang up".

"Okay".

After Jungkook hung up, he checked the weather report in Rain City; it stated clear skies with no wind.

He felt his heart sank slowly. A little unable to accept this fact, he texted Jimin and asked: "Is it going to rain in Seoul today?"

Jimin: "Nope, the sun is out".

Jungkook: "Mm".

Lisa and Yeonjun arranged to meet at a cafe near the national team that he was at. His appearance did not seem to have changed much in the past year. Even his hair was the same. His dimple was still there and when he smiled, his eyes remained bright and limpid. The only difference was the steadiness in his gaze that indicated the growth he experienced in the past year.

Lisa suddenly felt the melancholy of an aged mother. "Yeonjun has grown up".

Yeonjun looked down and smiled. He asked. "What are you doing in Beijing?"

"I'm here to watch a competition".

Yeonjun did not probe whose competition it was. He merely said. "Jeon Jungkook and you are both of you doing well?"

"Pretty good. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Yeonjun shook his head. He lowered his eyes and did not dare to meet her gaze. He was afraid that she would see how upset he was. The person he liked was asking him nonchalantly if he had a girlfriend.

After a while, Yeonjun exhaled slowly and asked her, "Does Jungkook know that you came to find me?"

"He is been feeling down lately. I'll tell him after I go back". Lisa held her chin and measured Yeonjun. His cheeks were rosy and his complexion was excellent. Overall, he appeared well and looked to be in good spirits. Initially, Lisa was already skeptical that Yeonjun was sick. Now that she saw him in person, she was even more unconvinced. She watched him like this for some time before grinning suddenly.
