When Lalisa woke up the next morning, Jungkook was still there. She yawned blearily, smiled at him and rubbed her eyes, asking, “You’re still here?”
Jungkook grunted in response and gave her a good morning kiss before going to the bathroom to fetch water for her to wash her face. He said, “I’ll be going to the capital today and then to North Europe. It may take me several days. Stay in the hospital and don’t get yourself hurt again, understand?” He nagged as if he were Lalisa’s father.
Lalisa nodded and looked at him. “Why are you going to North Europe? For a market survey? I remember Jeon’s International Group doesn’t have any businesses in North Europe?” When Grandpa asked her to manage the company, she had taken advantage of her position to check the regions where Jeon’s International Group had businesses. If Jungkook appeared in a region, then she would not go there.
Empire Group had a branch in North Europe, but she remembered that Jeon’s International Group didn’t.
Jungkook frowned slightly as Lalisa asked this question and then he answered in a low voice, “A trivial matter. I’ll tell you when I get back, and if everything goes well, I’ll introduce you to two of my friends.”
Lalisa raised an eyebrow. Jungkook’s friends? It turned out that he had other friends besides those silver-spoon kids in City A that grew up with him?
“What friends?” Lalisa was very curious. Jungkook’s friends? Did he mean the fair-weather type friends?
Jungkook wrung out the towel, cleaned Lalisa’s face with it and answered, “Damon-and-Pythias friends. I was sent abroad around the age of five and only came back to stay home for about ten days in summer and winter vacations every year. I came back home for high school when I was 15 years old or so.” With that, Jungkook deeply looked at Lalisa and said jokingly, “So, you should thank God that I came back. Otherwise, where could you have found a man who spoils you like me?”
“Okay, okay,” Lalisa replied to Jungkook with a smile and then said, “Just go to see my grandpa. Please check his body carefully. I’m worried about him.”
Hearing this, Jungkook immediately nodded sternly. “You should also take care of yourself. I don’t want to hear that you got hurt again, okay?”
Lalisa nodded. Jungkook tidied up her ward again before calling Little Five and leaving the room.
On her side, Yeri was sleeping when she was awakened by her cellphone and she suddenly sat up. Perhaps because she had a nightmare, or the weather was too hot, her forehead was full of sweat. She stroked her chest and attempted to calm down before reaching for the phone to answer it, while turning over to get up to drink water in the kitchen.
“Have you found it?” Yeri put her cellphone on her shoulder and fixed it with her cheek while pouring water for herself. The other side said something. She held the phone with one hand and drank water with the other, her face gloomy. After quite a while, she snorted and sneered, “Okay, forget it. I don’t want to waste any time to get that kind of trash out of jail. She just can’t do anything right!”
She hung up the phone, looking angry. She truly hadn’t expected that Min Lisa to be so sophisticated as to sweep Jungkook off his feet in such a short period of time and put that small-time actress in jail so easily. It seemed that she had to be careful when dealing with this Min Lisa in the future.
As she was thinking, a vicious gleam flickered across Yeri’s eyes. Min Lisa… I’ll definitely let you know what you will suffer trying to steal Jungkook from me. I’ll definitely make you remember this lesson for the rest of your life!
Lalisa, who was still lying in the hospital bed, sneezed and rubbed her nose. She complained to Yeji who was peeling an apple for her, “Mom, someone must be saying something bad about me behind my back!”
Yeji looked at the pouting Lalisa, smiled and handed her the apple. “Who would speak ill of you? You must have caught a cold because you kicked your quilt off last night.”
Lalisa curled her lips and changed the subject. “By the way, Mom, did you call Mr. He? What did he say?”
Yeji’s expression became strange. She sighed and said, “Mr. He and the monitor of your class will come to see you this afternoon. Get ready for it.”
Lalisa: “…” Why did she have to face these kinds of things after becoming Min Lisa? Why were the head teacher and monitor coming to visit her? God, she hated handling these kinds of matters…
…
On his side, Jungkook arrived at the international airport of the capital with Little Five, where there had been a group of people waiting for them outside. As Jungkook was well-dressed and looked even more handsome and attractive than the currently most popular young male stars, his appearance caused a stir in the airport. Some fans, who had been waiting for their idols in the airport, began to take photos of Jungkook with their cellphones.
Jungkook scowled and coldly glanced at those fans before taking a look at Little Five, who pretended not to notice. “Young Master,” he began, “we failed to apply for a flight route due to air traffic control, so we have to take a passenger plane.”
Jungkook gave him a cold look and Little Five immediately raised his arms in surrender. “I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I’m going to ask them to delete the photos right away.”
Just then, a group of people came over to surround Jungkook in the middle and escorted him out of the airport, while another group of people followed Little Five to stop the fans and ask them to delete the photos.
Seeing the tall men in black suits, the fans were a little scared, but still didn’t want to delete the photos. “We took the photos with our own cellphones. Why should we delete them?”
“Yes, maybe he’s handsome, but so what? Does he really think he’s a big star?!” A fan held her phone, staring up at Little Five provocatively. “I don’t want to delete them. Are you going to hit me?”
Little Five was deeply annoyed by these unreasonable fans. He frowned and replied, “It’s no problem at all for you to wait for your idol here and take his photos, but you can’t take that man’s photos. Delete them, now!”
“Why should I delete them? Is it illegal for me to take his photos?” a fan said, and the other fans immediately echoed, “Yeah, yeah, we’re not breaking the law!”
“You’re breaking the law!” Little Five squinted, looked down at his watch and frowned again. If he didn’t solve this problem in five minutes, Young Master would be angry!
Although Young Master’s photos would appear in various financial media in the first two years, the information about him in these media had been deleted by him. Now, even major newspapers couldn’t find a photo of him! How dare these people take his photos blatantly!
“No, we are not going to delete his photos!” The fans thought about why they had to delete the photos in their phones. These phones did not belong to these people’s but to them!
Counting the time, Little Five suddenly scowled and asked, “Are you sure?” He was handsome and looked genteel, so the fans didn’t fear him at all, but when he suddenly drew on a long face, he looked a bit scary.
“What do you want?” The fans took a step back.
Little Five narrowed his eyes, looked at the sign in their hands and frowned. “Lu Tong? Is he your idol?”
A wary gleam flashed through the fans’ eyes. Little Five suddenly gave a cold smile. “If you like the photos of our young master so much, then let him be your idol from now on. We’ll ban that Lu Tong. No one will dare hire him. He won’t have any chance to appear in any movie, TV series, commercial performance or commercial. Do you believe it?”
“You think you can do this?” When the fans heard Little Five dared attack their idol, they immediately angrily gathered around him like hedgehogs.
Little Five raised his hand. The fans thought he was going to hit them, so they took a step back and looked at him warily. Satisfied with their reaction, he looked at his watch and said sternly, “I’ll give you all ten seconds to make the choice.”
There were girls from rich families among these fans and they quickly recognized that Little Five was wearing a limited edition Vacheron Constantin watch. A girl elbowed the other fans and said in a low voice, “Just delete those photos. It’s enough for us to have Lu Tong. The photos of a passerby are of no use to us and we don’t know who he is. We’d better not offend this man.”
The girl in front of her looked back at her and asked, “Why?”
“He’s just an assistant yet he’s wearing a watch valuing over 10 million Yuan. You can imagine how rich and powerful that man is! And have you noticed it?”
Good at martial arts, Little Five had sharp ears. When he heard their conversation, he was very satisfied.
Every time he thought of his watch, he felt sad for his wallet. He had spent two months’ salary on it, just to save Young Master’s face, yet the man refused to reimburse him! How sad it was!
“When people dressed like this enters the airport at ordinary times, armed police officers would show up, but after such a long time, these people are still surrounding us here, while the armed police at the airport haven’t shown up. It’s clear that this man has a very strong background. We’d better not get Lu Tong in trouble.”
Little Five raised an eyebrow. This girl was sensible. It was good that she noticed.
At once, Little Five took a look at the big men behind him. They all stepped forward, stared at the people and frowned. “Please delete the photos right away!”
The fans quickly deleted the photos in their phones. Little Five asked the men to check their phones and cameras one by one to see if there was any photo undeleted, following which he took a look at his watch and smiled. It had only taken him four minutes to solve this. Perfect!
He took a few steps and then began to run.
Jungkook was getting impatient waiting outside. Just as he was about to ask the driver to drive, Little Five jumped into the car, saying, “Young Master, it’s solved.”
Jungkook glanced at him with a straight face. “I don’t want to see this happen again.”
Little Five felt greatly wronged. He looked back at Jungkook and said, “I didn’t know there were so many fans waiting outside today…”
Jungkook gave him a black look and Little Five immediately turned around to change the topic. “Mr. Seven is already waiting for you in Sweden.”
Jungkook didn’t look at him. “Have you prepared what I asked you to?”
“The medical team is waiting at the door of Empire Garden. Every member of the team is an expert. Haha, you’ll know who they’re. They’ll give Grandpa Kwon a thorough examination.” With that, as if asking for praise, he looked back at Jungkook and continued, “By the way, I also have all the medical devices transported to Empire Garden, so that they’ll have a complete set of equipment to examine Grandpa Kwon’s body.”
Jungkook raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Little Five was a bit disappointed and lowered his eyes. “I just want you to praise me, Young Master.”
Jungkook looked down at the watch on his wrist and thought for a while before speaking. “I’m flying to Sweden at 8:30 p.m. Don’t let me go through what happened just now again.”
Little Five immediately said, “Young Master, the flight from the capital to Sweden is ready. It’s your super luxury private plane. Don’t worry.”
Jungkook snorted and closed his eyes to rest.
When Little Five saw from rear view mirror that Jungkook closed his eyes, he curled his lips and complained in his heart. Boss, don’t put on that air, alright? Have you forgotten how sad and desperate you were during that period of time?!
Now you even started complaining about taking a passenger flight? Even though you took a passenger airliner from City A to the capital, I still managed to buy you a first-class ticket. Do you have to be so picky?
Jungkook suddenly opened his eyes, took a cold look at Little Five and said lightly, “If you have anything to say, speak it out, or else you’ll regret it!”
The Little Five widened his eyes in shock and immediately begged for mercy. “I was wrong, Young Master. Forgive me!”
Soon, the car pulled over in front of Empire Garden. There were already several cars before the gate. Jungkook got out of the car and look at Little Five, who immediately took out a small, crystal-clear cooler from the car, which was really small and merely palm-sized. It was customized by Jungkook for that finger. It had a beautiful name—crystal finger, the crystal which only that finger could own.
Jungkook frowned as he looked through the transparent crystal at that finger for a moment, following which he took it, wrapped it in black cloth, looked at the medical team already standing in two rows and said in a low voice, “I hope that you won’t keep anything from me after you examine Grandpa Tang’s body, understand?”
Those individuals were all elites that Long Xiao had deployed from all over the world, all of whom were under the orders of Jungkook and the other two men and had a certain understanding of Jungkook. Hearing his words, they immediately responded, “Yes, sir!”
Jungkook hummed and asked Little Five to ring the doorbell. Before Little Five reached the door, however, someone opened the door; it was the butler, Tang Zhong, who was stunned when he saw so many people outside. Confused, he looked at Jungkook and asked, “Mr. Jeon, what are you intending?”
Jungkook, holding the crystal covered with black cloth, replied seriously, “I’m not sure if Mr. Kwon can still control himself after seeing this, so I have to get my team to check his body in advance, to make sure whether he’s able to withstand the blow before I give him this. If he refuses, I won’t give it to him. Please relay my words to Mr. Kwon, Butler Tang.”
Tang Zhong was a little surprised. He looked at Jungkook with a frown and asked, “Mr. Jeon, are you kidding?” From what he knew of his master, he had always hated hospitals and doctors. Only Miss was able to persuade him to go to the hospital for an examination. Ever since Miss had the accident, Master had never been to the hospital. He even refused to take medicine, so he had to nag him into doing so… Jungkook not only came here with Miss’ finger, but he also brought so many doctors with him. Wasn’t he afraid of being kicked out by Master? Jungkook didn’t care for what Tang Zhong was thinking and merely asked him to lead the way. “Butler Tang, I think you can understand why I’m doing this. In any case, what Lali cared for most was Mr. Kwon’s health. I can’t just sit by and watch him fall ill.” Seeing that Tang Zhong seemed to be convinced by him, Jungkook continued, “Lali wouldn’t have wanted her grandpa to fall ill because of her, would she?”
Butler Tang struggled for quite a while before finally obeying his own will. He turned aside and said, “Mr. Jeon, please come with me. Master is already waiting for you in the study.”
Jungkook followed Butler Tang through the gate. Little Five followed him. Behind them was the medical team. The truck with the medical equipment directly drove through the gate. After all the people went in, someone immediately came and closed the gate.
Although Little Five had come to Empire Garden with Jungkook before, he had never entered inside. As soon as he got into Empire Garden, he was completely stunned. God, this was not a garden, but a forest park! No, no, a wetland park. And it was even larger than wetland parks!
This was the capital! Every inch of land was precious! Grandpa Kwon owned such a huge park in the capital and took it as his home! He was damn rich!
Look at the entertainment facilities here. How much money was needed to build them?! Oh, my god! A real rich man! What a rich man! It was unnecessary for him to go out to flaunt wealth. Anyone who came to Empire Garden could tell you how rich Grandpa Kwon was!
Jungkook walked forward, without looking sideways. Little Five asked, “Young Master, even you can’t get such a big house in the capital, can you?”
Jungkook completely ignored Little Five’s question. Needless to say, land was very expensive in the capital and nowadays, even if you had money, you couldn’t claim such a great area as your private home. In the central area of the capital, governmental approval was required even when you planned to build a private house with your own land, and the government wouldn’t give approval to that, let alone building a private house as huge as Empire Garden.
This land was bought by Hyunsuk fifty years ago and the facilities here were also built by him, bit by bit. Although it looked like a large museum with such a huge area and so many facilities, it was far harder to build than a real museum. Empire Garden was built bit by bit over decades. Hyunsuk had invested much affection into it, including his love for Lali, which couldn’t be measured with money.
Being ignored, Little Five curled his lips, looked at Jungkook and said, “Young Master, just admit it. You aren’t as rich as Grandpa Kwon, are you?”
“Yes, I don’t have money, so your bonus next month will be gone. You know I’m poor,” Jungkook suddenly replied, stepping directly into the sightseeing bus.
Standing still in a mess and shock, Little Five watched Jungkook following Tang Zhong on the sightseeing bus to the villa and felt as if there were 10,000 alpacas galloping in his heart. Why did he suddenly feel that he was screwed by his own mouth?
Bonus! Five million Yuan! He just lost it?
Little Five rushed over to chase the bus. “Young Master, I was wrong. You can hit me! But don’t deduct my bonus! It’ll kill me!”
Tang Zhong looked back at Little Five, who was running behind the bus like a dog chasing his owner, and gaped. Wearing a deadpan expression, Jungkook said, “He’s not my subordinate. Just ignore him.”
Tang Zhong was speechless. Jungkook was always a surprising one.
But he didn’t say anymore. The bus stopped in front of the villa. Little Five was out of breath. He put his hands on his knees to support himself and looked up at Jungkook with tears in his eyes. “Young Master, you made me chase the bus for five minutes. Please don’t deduct my bonus!”
Jungkook cast a glance at him and snorted. “I’m too poor to pay you a bonus. If you can’t accept it, you can resign!”
“Young Master, a bonus is nothing! I don’t want it now!” Little Five cried out, quickly changing his tune. “I swear I’ll serve you loyally forever. A bonus is nothing compared to you.”
Jungkook grunted in response. He looked at Little Five with a straight face and said, “Since you said this, your bonus for the next year will be gone. You should be considerate of your cash-strapped boss.” With that, he turned and followed Butler Tang into the villa.
Looking at Jungkook’s indifferent back, Little Five grabbed Little Six, who was walking in with the doctors, and cried out, “What can I do? I want to resign.”
Little Six glanced at him before pushing him aside and walking forward, replying, “Then do it. Don’t bother me.” He continued to look at the computer in his hand, his fingers beating on it quickly.
Little Five yelled at Little Six, “Little Six, you don’t love me anymore?”
Little Six ignored him and walked on. The group of doctors had often worked with Little Five and were quite familiar with him. As they passed Little Five, they all gave him a pat on the shoulder along with a sympathetic look.
Little Five stood there, totally speechless.
In the study.
Hyunsuk looked at the rows of doctors and a gleam of displeasure flashed through his eyes. He pretended to be puzzled and looked at Jungkook as he asked, “What do you mean by this, Mr. Jeon? Why did you bring doctors with you?”
Jungkook looked back at the doctors standing in two rows, sat down on the sofa, looked at Hyunsuk and said, “Mr. Kwon, don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to offend you. I’ve promised to give you Lali’s finger, but I can’t give it to you unless you let me check your health condition. Otherwise, you can’t get her finger.”
Hyunsuk narrowed his eyes. “Lad, are you threatening me?”
“Mr. Kwon, I’m concerned about you,” Jungkook replied seriously. “Lali’s gone, and I can’t let you, the person she cared about, fall ill.”
Hyunsuk sneered. “Do you think you can walk out of Empire Garden without giving it to me?”
Jungkook sneered as well. “Do you think you can get the box in my hand without letting me check your health?”
Shocked, Hyunsuk looked at Jungkook, who held a small box in his hands. Hyunsuk couldn’t see what was inside, however, as the box was covered by a pitch black silk. He held the stick tightly in his hands and pounded it twice against the ground, saying, “Lad, I’ve lived for more than 70 years. No one can threaten me!” To that, Jungkook firmly replied, “Just like Mr. Kwon, I have lived for more than 20 years and no one can threaten me. If you want to get this box in my hand, please first accept the physical examination of the medical team I have brought here.” With that, he changed the topic and sneered, “Mr. Kwon, are you afraid? Are you afraid that you can’t get the box in my hand after you receive a physical examination?”
Seeing that Hyunsuk didn’t answer, Jungkook sneered again, “I didn’t expect that Kwon Hyunsuk, the leading merchant for many years, was afraid of doctors. If this becomes known to others, Mr. Kwon’s great image will be shattered.”
Hyunsuk’s cloudy eyes stared straight at Jungkook. His aura was overbearing, but Jungkook wasn’t afraid at all. Or to be exact, only Tang Zhong felt Hyunsuk’s powerful aura and no one else felt it, especially Jungkook who looked quite relaxed. He looked at Hyunsuk with a smile, raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, “What? Did I say anything wrong?”
Hyunsuk suddenly loosened his grip on his stick and nodded to Jungkook, narrowing his eyes. “Good, very good. Lad, you’re something. You’re really something!”
Hearing this, Tang Zhong thought Jungkook had annoyed Hyunsuk. Having found the best position, Tang Zhong was prepared to rush over and stop his master. Suddenly, Hyunsuk said, “Let those people come in.” Then he glared at Jungkook and continued, “You’ll give me the box in your hand after you get my medical examination report, yes?”
Jungkook nodded. “Of course.”
Hyunsuk nodded. Jungkook asked Little Five to call in the medical team waiting in the living room. Hyunsuk looked at Jungkook and said, “Mr. Jeon, you aren’t insisting on checking my health to help Jeon’s International Group surpass our Empire Group, are you?”
Jungkook raised an eyebrow and bowed to Hyunsuk. “Mr. Kwon, please forgive me for taking the liberty to ask you to receive a physical examination, but please trust me. What you’re worried about is absolutely not going to happen. I’m doing this solely for the sake of your health. I can even promise you that, as long as you’d like, Empire Group will always be the number one company in China, and that no other company can surpass it. ”
Hyunsuk raised his hand to stop Jungkook from continuing. “Time makes it inevitable that in every profession, young men replace the old,” he said seriously. “If you have the ability to make Jeon’s International Group surpass Empire Group, I’ll only congratulate you. You don’t have to do this for Lali. Besides, Lali has…”
When Hyunsuk agreed to accept the physical examination, Jungkook had softened his attitude. Hearing Hyunsuk’s words, Jungkook pursed his lips and said, “Mr. Kwon, please don’t say that. Lali wouldn’t have hoped for you to think like that. All she wanted was to accompany you and care for you every moment of the day, so please take good care of yourself for Lali’s sake.”
Hyunsuk paused and murmured, “You two are both good kids. Unfortunately, you can’t be together… If Lali could have been like her grandmother… Alright, forget it. Thank you for your kindness.” He looked up at Jungkook with a sigh and continued sadly, “Mr. Jeon, please give me the box in your hand after I finish the physical examination, then I can…”
Jungkook saw tears in the corner of Hyunsuk’s eyes. Tang Zhong, standing to the side, also secretly wiped at his tears. Jungkook stepped forward and merely said, “Don’t worry. As long as you finish the physical examination, I’ll hand you this box with both hands.”
The medical team had already entered the study. Hyunsuk’s study was extremely spacious, covering an area of more than 200 square meters, so they directly carried out a series of examinations in the study. While performing the examination, Jungkook, Tang Zhong and the others had all left the study. Jungkook looked at the spacious villa and asked Tang Zhong, “Can I have a look at Lali’s room?”
Tang Zhong turned a hesitant eye towards Jungkook, but in the end he nodded and pointed to the first room upstairs. “That’s Miss’ room,” he said. “I asked the maids to clean it up every day because I thought if one day, Miss came back… she could still live in it.” His nose twitched when he said this. Then, with a self-mocking smile, he continued, “I’m sorry. I can’t control my emotions as I’m getting old. Mr. Jeon, you can go upstairs and have a look. I’ll go to the kitchen and see if Master’s soup is ready.”
Jungkook went up to the second floor while holding the crystal box, opened the door to Lalisa’s room and entered. The room was very large and almost everything inside it was of cold colors. It was completely different from the princess room that the Min Family had prepared for her, yet this cold-colored room didn’t look lifeless. In the hot weather, it looked cool and comfortable. Her room was very big. Hyunsuk almost removed the partitions of all the rooms on the second floor and made this room for her. It included a bedroom, dressing room, cloakroom, shoe room and bathroom. What she had was something that even a real princess couldn’t own.
There was a photo of her in the room, which had been shot by him when they were in high school. She had most likely put the photo here because she liked it. Jungkook took a look around the room and smiled before taking out his cellphone to call Lalisa. Soon, the other side answered the phone and Jungkook said, “I didn’t expect you were so narrow-minded, leaving no photo of me after breaking up with me. I can’t find any present I gifted you or a group photo with you and me in it. You’re really stone-hearted.”
Jungkook leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows of Lalisa’s room while holding his cellphone. Looking through the balcony, he could see a panoramic view of Empire Garden.
On the other side, Lalisa seemed to be silent for quite a while and then in a pouting manner, she replied, “You didn’t want me anymore. Why should I have still kept your things? To miss you? No way…”
You didn’t want me anymore. How could I hold your photo and miss you every day? Jungkook had truly wanted her to forget about him when he broke up with her, but later he regretted it deeply when he find out he had recovered.
Recalling what happened back then, Jungkook shook his head. At that time, he had been in a horrible mood. He had vomited blood at midnight and was diagnosed with gastric cancer by the person he trusted most. What else could he have done except to leave her?
After Lalisa spoke those words to Jungkook, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked, “Are you at my house?”
Hearing Lalisa’s voice, Jungkook’s heavy heart lightened a little. He nodded and said softly, “Yes, I am. Your grandpa is now undergoing a medical examination, and I’m in your room right now.” No one could see the faint smile on his lips, which was Jungkook’s tenderness exclusive for Lalisa.
Yeji had adjusted Lalisa’s bed higher today. She was leaning against the bed and eating an apple. Hearing his words, Lalisa widened her eyes. “Where did you say you are?”
Hearing her surprised, Jungkook smiled and was in a better mood. “I’m in your room, which is much better than your princess room in the Min Family. I still like your queen side.”
“Get out of my room, right now!” Lalisa held tightly the apple in her hand and almost burst into tears. Damn it, if he found out how she had missed him, it would be so embarrassing! The more Lalisa thought about it, the more she was sure that she couldn’t let Jungkook stay in her room anymore. “Do you hear me? Get out of my room now! How can you enter my room without permission?”
Jungkook raised his eyebrows. He would have walked out if Lalisa hadn’t spoken so, but hearing how she was so desperate to drive him out, he felt there must be something wrong, so he began to wander around Lalisa’s room while speaking to her casually. “Who said I entered your room without permission? I came in after getting Butler Tang’s permission.”
Lalisa was speechless. Butler Tang! Grandpa! How could you just let someone enter my room so easily?
“That’s my room, not his! What he said doesn’t count. Get out of there!” Lalisa spluttered. Oh, why didn’t she destroy all traces before she went to travel? Please don’t let Jungkook see her…
Jungkook strolled around her room again, but didn’t find anything special. He frowned as he looked around and said to Lalisa, “My dear, may I remind you? Your name is Min Lisa now, and this room isn’t yours anymore. All I need to do now is to ask the owner’s permission.”
Angry at Jungkook’s words, Lalisa hung up the phone with a snap.
Who was to blame for her becoming like this? Him! He broke up with her! If he hadn’t done that, she wouldn’t have made it a habit to travel abroad!
Now he even said that she was not Lalisa and couldn’t decide who could enter her room anymore! Oh! She was angry!
Lalisa was upset and secretly prayed that Jungkook wouldn’t find any trace in her room.
After she hung up the phone, Jungkook shook his head helplessly, put his cellphone away and continued to search and looked around in Lalisa’s room. There had to be some little secret about him in Lali’s room.
He disdained to pry into the privacy of others, but he was eager to know whether Lali really hadn’t thought of him at all in the past few years when they were not together, and whether she had truly excluded him out of her heart.
Just then, Jungkook suddenly saw a red dress hanging in a hanger in Lalisa’s cloakroom. Lalisa was very talented in design. She used to draw jewelry and clothing on paper when she was bored, so the clothes in her cloakroom were mostly designed by herself, except for some that were gifted to her by famous luxury brands.
However, Jungkook hadn’t seen this red dress before. It had to have been designed by Lalisa after he broke up with her. The fiery-red dress had a fishtail and deep V-chest design. Its hemline was exceptionally long and shaped like a flower. Jungkook could imagine how beautiful Lalisa would be when she put on this dress.
She didn’t become a designer as she wished, but Yeri who was always beside her became a designer, which surprised Jungkook a lot. To his greater surprise, she had never given up designing. It was no wonder that she made friends with those internationally renowned fashion designers and was a great admirer of the top luxury brands in the world. Every time they launched a new product, the first person to receive it must have been Lalisa.
Jungkook smiled as he walked over to the red dress and touched it. At that moment, the clothes that had been hanging in the wardrobe suddenly began to move to either side and a door appeared in the wardrobe. A gleam of surprise flashed through Jungkook’s eyes. He smiled helplessly, walked over and pulled the door open.
There was an elevator inside the door. Jungkook was surprised to see that there was an elevator in her room. Without any hesitation, he got into the elevator. At the moment he entered it, the door of the wardrobe closed automatically and the separated clothes slowly returned to their original positions.
As the elevator landed, Jungkook took a deep breath. He became nervous. For the first time, he felt nervous. This might be a little world of Lalisa that might have nothing to do with him…
However, at the very moment when the elevator stopped and the elevator door opened, the nervousness and uneasiness in Jungkook’s heart were all gone. Everything here was about him, Newspapers with his photos on them were placed on the bed, and the group photos of him and her were made into big posters and hung over the bed. The presents he gifted her were all here, and the words he said to her were made into cartoons that were posted on the wall. At this moment, Jungkook felt that what he had done for her all these years was worth it. It turned out that he had not been alone in those four years. There had been someone else also deeply trapped in the whirlpool of pain.
Jungkook walked over. The place was full of dust, perhaps because nobody had cleaned up this room for a long time. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped at the photo frame put on the nightstand clean. It was the photo taken during their first date when they were still very young but very happy, of him smiling happily and her leaning against his shoulder, laughing more happily.
Lali, was this what you were trying to hide from me?
He took out his cellphone and dialed Lalisa’s number again. Lalisa looked at her phone, curled her lips but still answered the phone. “Didn’t you say I’m not…”
“I love you.” Jungkook’s voice was a bit hoarse. He said tenderly to the phone again, “I love you.”
Because I love you, I had to break up with you. It really hurt when I broke up with you, but for your sake, I could only do that.
Lalisa froze and her eyes suddenly turned red. Her voice was hoarse and she asked softly, “Did you see it?”
