"No". Mrs. Choi shook her head and smiled, "I suddenly thought that it's actually pretty good if I managed to have a daughter-in-law like you in the future".

Jungkook was originally like air beside Lisa. When he heard this, he was greatly dissatisfied. What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to help your son steal my wife? Don't you see me standing beside her, alive and kicking? Are you going to notice me only if I take off my cap?

Before he could dispute this, Lisa spoke first. She gave a half-embarrassed smile. "I don't think I want a mother-in-law like you".

Well done.

The edge of Jungkook's lips quirked. He grabbed Lisa's hand and stressed to Mrs. Choi, "She already has a mother-in-law".

....

In the afternoon, Yeonjun executed an impeccable performance and clinched the gold in the men's figure skating event.

That night, Lisa and Jungkook attended the closing ceremony of the world university winter games together before heading back and packing their luggage.

The next day, they did not fly back along with the rest of the team. Lisa was worried that if the plane turbulence was severe, it would affect Jungkook's head.

Jungkook did not know whether to laugh or cry. "How is it possible?"

Lisa's face was utterly serious. "How is it not possible? If you shaken an egg with enough force the egg yolk will also break".

"Is my head the same as an egg?"

"It's not? Oh, yes it's not. You have hair" Lisa rubbed his bald head and felt the newly-grown hair scrapped her palm gently. The sensation was way too satisfying. It was so comfortable that she slit eyes. "I hereby announce, You are now a kiwi".

Jungkook made another mark against her onto the little booklet in his heart.

In the end, Jungkook listened to Lisa onto the little bored and did not feel like using her phone. She leaned on Jungkook's shoulder and remarked. "Jungkook, tell me a story".

Jungkook raised his arm and put it over her shoulder. "What do you want to hear?"

"I don't know. Anything will do".

"I'll tell you the story of the stars then".

There are many legends on stars throughout history. Not wanting to disturb others, Jungkook kept his voice soft and was patient as he spoke in an unhurried pace. Lisa was utterly absorbed as she lay in Jungkook's arm. Halfway through, Jungkook suddenly paused. Lisa could not help urging him, "What happened next?"

Jungkook's hand was placed languidly over her shoulder. He raised his arms and touched her earlobe. Then, he pinched and massaged it gently with his thumb and index finger.

"I'll tell you if you express it" Jungkook replied.

Lisa looked at him. "How do I express it?"

Jungkook looked out of the window with curved lips. Under the expanse of the sky was the raised peaks of the mountain range.

He pointed to his face, his intent clear.

Lisa said, "Jungkook, I want to rub your head".

The curves on Jungkook's lips immediately fell. He tugged on his knitted cap and continued the story.

After that, Lisa gradually fell asleep as she listened to him. Jungkook stopped talking. He continued to hold her with one arm while occasionally smoothing her hair and rubbing her ear. He gazed at the view outside the window.
