Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 7.1

"Oh my."

"That's why I only colored your pinky nails."

"Only one?"

"You want all of them?"

Jungkook raised his eyebrows with a creepy face while Lisa remained unconcerned as usual. She kept smiling sweetly while holding Jungkook's hand tightly.

"They say yellow is the color that signifies the beginning of something. Like forsythia flowers. My mom once said that nature will turn yellow when spring comes, instead of 'blue'. This yellow color will definitely be a lucky color for you too."

Lisa explained at length about the meaning of the color yellow, while Jungkook's face grew more and more serious and somber. Nonetheless, Lisa hoped that the man would also feel that he needed to escape from his routine this way once in a while and hopefully he wouldn't mind.

"I've heard stories about the color yellow in America until I'm sick of it."

"But you haven't heard these stories in Korea, right. Don't take it to heart like that."

The woman murmured as if to comfort the man, but the man didn't say anything. Lisa who felt bad then let go of Jungkook's hand, and the man raised his eyebrows at her again.

"If you wash it with soap, it will disappear. Maybe."

Lisa finally relented and muttered quietly to Jungkook who was now silent.

However, Jungkook was acting like this not just because of his yellowing nails. He doesn't care whether the yellow color can disappear or not. Right now what he's thinking about is the feelings of his heart that he can't even understand.

Why did he not mind when she held his hand? Why did he feel like holding her hand again as soon as she released her grip? Today's weather is hot and it seems like Jungkook's brain is also heating up.

"Oh, yeah. Don't you know what this celandine flower means?"

"No!"

"This flower symbolizes mother's love."

Although Jungkook looked upset, Lisa tried to cheer him up and smiled cheerfully while holding a celandine flower. However, Jungkook's face still looked tense.

"Are you angry? I'm sorry. I was just joking."

Lisa who felt guilty then apologized while placing her hand on Jungkook's hand who just looked back at him blankly. Apparently, Lisa's joke this time was too much. Come to think of it, how dare that woman dye the fingernails of a Goryo Group successor with that yellow liquid. Did I really do something stupid, Lisa thought.

She really just wanted to share her childhood memories with that man.

"Never mind. It's nothing. I'll be patient this time."

"Yeah, right? It's nothing, right. But, if I color the nails on your right hand, will you get angry?"

Lisa, who didn't expect Jungkook's friendly reaction, immediately tried to hold Jungkook's right hand without waiting for his answer. But this time, she lost to the man's speed.

Jungkook's big hand held both of Lisa's hands and made her unable to move. They could feel each other's body temperature and heat through their touching hands. Regardless of how they wanted to feel, the lighthearted joke of the day had turned into something serious.

Raindrops slowly soaked the ground on the hill. Meanwhile, Jungkook's gaze that had always been cold and rigid now looked fiery. As the man's beautiful lips approached, Lisa didn't know whether to close her eyes or take a step back. Her rational mind had warned her to take a step back, but her body that was already locked inside his eyes only remained silent.

Then, something broke the silence between the two of them. It was the sound of Jungkook's cell phone. Lisa didn't know whether she should be grateful or feel sad. She also began to be unsure of her own feelings and just stared pensively at the celandine flowers. As soon as she heard the name that came out of Jungkook's mouth, she felt that she was very pitiful because she was confused about her own feelings for this man.

"Shin Hee? Where are you?!"

Jeon Jungkook, who had returned to his old self, shouted on his cell phone.

Lisa froze and lowered her head after seeing Jungkook's eyes that seemed to be filled only with the woman named Yoo Shin Hee.

Lalisa Manobal, are you crazy? What were you thinking in your brain just now? It was clear that she had gotten carried away.

The sky was slowly turning gray and getting darker. The raindrops seemed to be getting heavier. Jungkook's cell phone rang at the right time. His woman had come back.

Lisa looked at the back of Jungkook who left her alone and went to meet his woman at lightning speed with a blank look. She then turned her gaze to her surroundings.

For some reason, the wildflowers that adorned the Hwaniwon now didn't look as beautiful as when she saw them earlier.
