Chapter 22 • Pt. 2

"Because?"

Jungkook shook his head. "Just because of the accent"

Lisa narrowed her eyes, leaving the cup on the table to lean closer to him. "Jungkook"

He seemed caught and looked away, touching his ear nervously.

"It's because of the microwave?" she was teasing again, but there was a part of her worried that it was because of the microwave.

Jungkook chuckled. "No," he pouted while talking, more than usual. "It was because... I was a weeb... I... I may be still one," he admitted it like it was painful.

Lisa blinked.

"That's it?"

"Yeah"

"Okay, hold on, what level of weeb? You were going around dressed up like Naruto? No wait, you don't like Naruto"

AND HE WAS LOOKING GUILTY NOW.

Lisa had the cutest image in her mind after seeing that face, now all she could see was a younger Jungkook, with a baby face, dressed up as Goku. Oh my God, he looked so good in orange.

And he was cringing hard right now so Lisa decided to help him: "How old were you?"

"Fourteen or fifteen"

That was good. "We all are so weird at fourteen, like, at that age, I decided to cut my hair short because I was a super fan of Coffee Prince and the main female role had, like, that boyish hair cut which was so cool. She was pretending to be a man in the coffee to get a job and also pretending to be Hangyul, the main male role, lover so his grandma will stop to try to set him up on blind dates. I completely, like, fell in love with Gong Yoo there," she admitted, scrunching her nose. "Anyway, I don't know what was going on in my mind to cut my hair like that, but it looked terrible and for like a year I was 'that skinny boy in the corner'," she acted like all her old teachers with a grimace and make him giggle. "So, your cosplay side can't be worse than my hair cut, sorry not sorry"

"There's no way you could have look bad," oh he was bold.

"Yeah, that's because you didn't see me with it and luckily you will never"

But Bambam was a bad bitch who had the photos so Lisa really expected this topic wouldn't be brought up between them. Lisa was the type to laugh at the mistakes and dumb things done from her past, but that haircut was something that should stay dead in the past, five feet under the floor.

"We were talking about you, by the way"

"Oh, right," he cleared his throat and sat straight. "What was I saying?" he tilted his head to a side, frowning.

"Oppas and you, bullying, cosplay"

"Right," he nodded. "So, Mingyu was in my class and we became friends, really close friends. He used to sit next to me in our classroom and he was one of the few guys that weren't an asshole. And, we were the same age, we had the same music taste and used to go to the same PC Bang so we naturally bonded"

(a/n: a PC Bang is that place full of computers you see in dramas in where people go to play videogames, i think it's also called internet cafe or gaming center)

All Lisa could think was that his voice was deep but soft and so calming.

"Years passed, the situation changed for me and it got harder, I had to study harder for a scholarship, but Mingyu was..." his expression turned melancholic, a sad memory crossing his mind like a movie. "He was a good friend, he was there for me when I needed it as I was there for him, he was having a hard time with his family too"
