Third person's POV.
∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞∞♡∞
Jungkook feels that he has to make his stand clear. “I do not date woman whose IQ is below 140.”
Lisa waves at him distractedly. “I get it. You might as well say you don’t date woman. I understand.”
He frowns. “I have said before I am not –“
“You are not gay. You are straight. 100% man. Fighter jet among guns, correct?”
Jungkook is still unsure: “You really understand?”
“Yes!”
He heaves a sigh of relief. He is good so long as she understands.
They set the table for dinner and his phone pings. Looking at his phone, Anonymous has sent him a picture of a bowl of noodles with tomato slices. The yellow noodles contrast well with the red garnish and look delicious.noodle with tomato
Qiao Feng does not reply to the message and starts eating.
His phone pings again.
Anonymous：This is not as good as yours.
Jungkook hesitates before replying: Happy Birthday.
Anonymous：Thank you! I thought you have forgotten!
Jungkook: That’s all. I am eating dinner.
He puts down the phone but it pings again.
Anonymous：I miss you.
Jungkook: You can choose not to. I am eating dinner.
Anonymous：I want to see you.
Jungkook thinks about it: Does your boyfriend know that you are saying this?
Anonymous：We have broken up.
Jungkook: Ok. I am eating dinner.
Jungkook：jungkook!
Jungkook is at a loss on how to end the conversation. Lisa has noticed his yoyo-ing between his chopsticks and phone and when he looks vex, she asks him what is wrong. From their interactions, Jungkook has concluded that Lisa may be dumb in some ways, but she is very good at handling people, so he passes his phone to her. “Can you help me end this conversation?”
Respecting his privacy, Lisa reads his latest conversation starting from the noodle picture and not anything earlier before that. When she realizes that Jungkook has also cooked for this person, she is not happy. The feeling is like discovering what you think is your precious is also someone else’s precious. “Who is she to you?”
“Just a friend.”
“I don’t believe you. You cooked noodles for her.”
“It is just a bowl of noodles.”
Just one? Really? “This person seems to have set her sights on you.”
Jungkook shakes his head empathetically. “Not possible.”
“Why?”
He does not answer and Anonymous sends another message: Why are you ignoring me?
While Lan Shan thinks of an appropriate answer, she checks with Jungkook. “How close are you with this person? Can you afford to offend her?”
“Not close; can afford.”
“I am going reply on your behalf, is that ok?”
“Go ahead.”
So Lisa texts Anonymous: Because I dislike you.
Passing the phone back to Jungkook, she asks if he has any special plans for tomorrow, which is her off day. Turns out that Jungkook is thinking of playing tennis although he has not called anyone yet, and the two decide to go market in the morning, follow by playing tennis in the afternoon.

Taehyung is reading a report from his laptop.
He is in a cosy coffee bar with Jimin and both have a steaming cup of white coffee in front of them. The lighting in the café is a bit dark, and the light from his laptop reflects the cool angles of Taehyung's face.
Jimin glances at the report. “This detective must be quite good to come up with a detailed report like this. Brother Tae, if our Blue Beauty finds out that you have her investigated, do you think she will be angry?”
“Of course. Which is why I do not intend for her to ever find out.”
Jimin shakes his head. “I have known you for a long time but this is the first time I see you so interested in a woman to the extent of having her investigated. What is so special about her besides being pretty?”
Taehyung finally looks away from his laptop, lost in thought. Whenever he thinks about Lisa in the last few days, he can only remember her mesmerizing smile, her feisty temper mix with an arrogance that never fails to drive him crazy. He is not a truly forgiving person so how can he be immune to the sting of her rejection? But even as he grits his teeth to keep his composure in check, only he himself know how much of it is from displeasure and how much of it is from fasination. He wants to conquer her. He wants to grind her arrogance under his shoe. He wants….
“Jimin, women are just like food. The gentle ones are easy to chew so they are suitable for people with weak teeth. The fiery ones, the passionate ones, are the truly delectable ones that can last a long time without one getting tired of them.”
“Brother Tae, you are so wretched.”
Taehyung ignores him and turns his attention back to his report.
“Brother Tae, do you think Jennifer is fiery?”
“Jennie is a smart woman. One do need not worry about her if she is the woman by your side.”
“Then why did you break off with her?” Jimi is a bit indignant for his goddess and points toLisa’s picture. “Is it because of this chewing gum?”
“One. Jennifer wanted too many things which I am unable to give. Two, I am really tired of her. Even if there is no Blue Shirt today, there will still be another Yellow Shirt or Green Shirt.”
Taehyung clicks on his computer and 2 pictures now take up the screen.
Jimin: “Who is this pimp? Her boyfriend?”
“No.”
“How do you know?”
“I do not spend my money for nothing.”
Jimin is not convinced. “He is quite good looking. Who knows if he will become your rival in future?”
Taehyung smiles: “Just him?”
“Brother Cheng, you know this guy?”
Taehyung does not answer.

For tennis, Lisa wears a peach-colored polo-T with yellow shorts and red and white shoes. As for her hair, she ties it up in a neat pony tail. Luckily, she has a great figure to pull off this electric combination. In comparison, Jungkook is dressed conservatively in white from shirt to shoes. Looking at his boring wardrobe, Lisa shakes her head. “I best forget about commenting. At most I shall help you choose more clothes in future.”
The sports centre is not far from their apartments and as they walk there, Lisa attracted many admiring looks as she swings her racket and prances from time to time on the pavement. A cyclist follows closely behind her and when Lisa is happily talking to Jungkook, she suddenly feels someone pinching her bum. Turning around, she sees the cyclist. “You there, stop!”
How can he? The cyclist tries to peddle faster away from them.
Lisa chases after him without pausing to think. She throws her racket at the cyclist and manages to whack him on the head. He falls off his bicycle and when Lisa reaches him, she starts bash at him without mercy. “You pervert! How dare you molest me! I am going to kill you!”
Jungkook is struck dumb. When he realizes that she has been molested, he feels that he should protect her as a man. But why does the situation now looks as if he should protect the molester ….
He picks up her racket on the floor and hears the molester protests. “Stop, or I am going to call the Police!”
“Sure! Go ahead! If you don’t call, you are the grandson of a monkey!”
Jungkook takes out his phone. “You can continue beating him while I call the Police.”
Lisa has gotten tired of beating and dusts her hands. “Forget it! It is troublesome to involve the Police. As for you pervert, you are damn lucky I am stopping now. If you dare….”
“Big sister! I will never dare do it again!”
Liaa nods and takes her racket back from jungkook. “Let’s go.”
Jungkook offers to help her carry her racket once again but she ignores him and swings it on her shoulder. Match with her swagger and stern face, jungkook can imagine that it is a big knife, not a tennis racket that is resting on her shoulder.
This woman is a firecracker.
Seeing that they have gone far enough, the molester shouts at their backs. “Mother Tigress! You should be worried that you will never be able to get married with that temper of yours!”
Lisa wants to turn back to beat him up into a pulp but he has peddled away. Jungkook holds her back by the shoulder. “Lisa, stop being angry.”
“Hmph!!” Lisa is peeved at being molested. But after a while, she turns towards Jungkook ominously. “Do you think I look like a Mother Tigress.”
“You don’t look like one. You are the real stuff.”
This imbecile who does not know how to comfort people! Lisa glares at him: “Then shouldn’t you be more scared of me?”
Jungkook’s eyes are full of mirth. “I have never yet heard of a tigress who bites the zoo keeper.”
******************
Lisa feels that Jungkook is really one of a kind. Sometimes, he is seems inapt at social niceties. His words can drive a person up the wall but his next sentence may have the ability to chase all your dark clouds away. Just what kind of breed is he?
Her anger left as quickly as it comes and she holds out her racket to Jungkook. “Here, help me hold this.” When he takes the racket, he can see that she is no longer angry and for some reason, his mood turns lighter too.
The 2 reach the sports centre which belongs to Jungkook's school. He has staff discount for the court rental which he paid for using his staff card. Lisa has noticed that Jungkook does not like to use cash, perhaps for fear of germs. In truth, she is a little jealous of him. This young man seems to have no concept of money but yet he seems to have unlimited spending capacity. Looking at his careless attitude towards money, she can’t help worrying for him. “Jungkook, do you know how to manage your finances? Please do not tell me that you keep most of your cash in a cash card?”
Jungkook looks at her with faint derision. “Why are you so dumb? Cash cards can expire and is probably the least efficient form of cash.”
I am just worried that you are the dummy here! “Then do you keep your cash in fix deposits?”
Jungkook shakes his head. “I do not know. I have a financial consultant who helps manage my finances.”
A consultant. Which means she has been concerned again for nothing? But it does seem the kind of thing a rich man like him will do. “Is your consultant reliable?”
“Are you doubting my skills?”
“Huh? You also have skills when it comes to managing finances?”
“I am not referring to that kind of skills, I am talking about the ability to find out things on the web.”
Remembering how he has dug out all her information from the web, Lisa thinks she understands. “Da Shen (Big God), can you share his contact with me?”
Jungkook gives her his consultant contact. Actually, he has no intention of relying on a consultant forever. From his father to his colleagues, everyone around him seems to let their wife manage their finances so he naturally assumes he will also do the same in future.
They start their game after doing some warm-up exercises. After a game, Lisa finds that Jungkook is a pretty decent player although playing with him is not exactly exciting because he isn’t the competitive sort. During their break, she asks: “Why do you only defend and not attack?”
“I feel that the aim of exercise is to keep our bodies healthy. Since that objective has been met, there is no need to drive to the kill.”
Lisa is not satisfied. “Simply put, you do not care if you win or lose.”
Jungkook rebuts. “And you put too much emphasis in winning.”
“Hello, hello. Winning is part of survival ok? Have you never thought of being #1, even in school?”
“I have always been #1 in school.”
“……” She tries another track. “It is like chasing a woman. Surely you hope that the woman you like will choose you over her other suitors right?”
“It is always the woman who chases after me.”
“……” This guy is simply too much! “I don’t care! When you play with me later, I want to trash me! Ravage me! Do not treat me like a delicate flower!”
Jungkook is surprised by her request but he nods. “Ok.”
tHe takes her at her word and for the next half an hour, Lisa can barely hit any of his balls. Sometimes, he makes her run for the ball which she misses, sometimes his ball is too fast which she can’t catch, sometimes he slices the ball, which makes her misjudge the swinging distance… in short, she gets royally trashed.
Finally, jungkook tries to go easy on her and sends her an easy ball directly in front of her which she should not have difficulty returning. Unfortunately, Lisa is so dazed by then, the ball whacks her smack in the face.
Jungkook. “….”
Lisa “….”
Lisa rubs her sore head. “Let’s take a break! Take a break!”
While they are resting at the bench, Jungkook finally cannot hold back. “Your skills are really bad.” How can she have missed such a simple ball?
Although slighted, Lisa is so impressed with him, she feels like kissing his shoe. “How did you hit the ball to make it spin like that?”
“I am just lucky.”
So modest, but lisa does not give up and jogs his arm. “Can you teach me how?”
“You won’t be able to master it.”
You need not be so direct, you know…. Lisa takes a swing of her water and peeks at Jungkook with the corner of her eye. He is sweating profusely and she speaks without thinking. “Actually, you are quite…. manly.”
No normal man likes this kind of compliment and Jungkook is no exception. But what she says is true and besides, not many people think that way so he smiles. “Thank you.”
He takes out some tissue from his bag and carefully dabs his forehead, face, and neck. Lisa nearly rolls her eyes at his gentle moves and…. is his tissue scented?
Jungkook mistook her interest to mean that she wants a tissue and he passes some to her. Looking at the words “jasmine scent” printed on the tissue pack, lisa blurts out: “I take back my words. You really are a closet missy like an aunt.”
Jungkook is enraged and picks up his racket. “Let’s go.”
“What for?”
“Let’s continue to ravage you.”
A/N: >>so this anonymous person appears again can you guys make a guess on who it is? I wanna know if you guess it right, Cute that Lisa is A bit jealous HAHAHA<<
