Jungkook left the bathroom after he finished bathing. He looked at his cell phone and realized that he had missed a call from Tarhyung.
While he towel-dried his hair, he returned the call. "What's the matter?"
Taehyung cackled evilly. "Master Jeon, let's go pick strawberries tomorrow."
Jungkook lightly rubbed his temple as he sat down on his bed. "You are truly becoming more and more feminine."
Taehyung: "..."
"I have to work tomorrow. You can go pick strawberries by yourself."
After Jungkook finished speaking, he wanted to hang up. At that moment, Taehyung yelled, "I also invited two beauties!"
"Oh." He Xiu coldly responded and moved to hang up.
"It's Jennie and Lisa!"
Jungkook paused before returning the phone to his ear. "When did you hook up with them?
Taehyung said with extreme anger, "What hook up; I...have a matter I'm collaborating with Chief Kim on."
Surprised, Jungkook asked, "What matter are you collaborating with her on? 《 Satisfactory 》's theme song?"
Taehyung snorted. "Do you want to know? Well, I'm not telling you. Do you want to come tomorrow? If you won't come, I'll invite someone else."
Jungkook said, "I'll come."
"Okay, it's decided. Drive your car to my home first tomorrow. We'll go together."
"Mn."
After Jungkook hung up the phone, he sat for some time on his bed before walking up to his mirror and picking up a hair dryer to blow dry his hair.
He and Taehyung had arranged to meet at the gate of Kim Mansion at 9:30AM, so in a rare occurrence, he left a bit later than usual. After he had tidied up and walked downstairs, Jiho and Ji Hyun were still sitting at the table, eating breakfast with Soobin.
Jiho saw him appear and asked, "Why are you leaving so late today?"
Jungkook replied, "I'm meeting Taehyung today. I'll go to the company in the afternoon."
Jiho nodded. "You go to the company every day; you should rest more. Since you're here, you should eat with us."
"Can't. I arranged to eat with Taehyung." Jungkook didn't turn his head around as he left.
After he closed the door behind him, Jihyun laughed loudly. "What is this attitude of his? Not even knowing to greet us when he sees us."
While Jiho drank his soup, he said, "It's not the first day he's acted like this. I thought you were long accustomed to it."
Jihyun choked upon hearing his words. Still wanting to say something, Jiho looked at Soobin. "Did you quarrel with your older brother last night?"
Soobin set down his cup of coffee and smiled at him. "No; we were just talking about our brotherly feelings, nothing more."
Once those words left his mouth, Ji Hyun's complexion became even more unsightly. "How many times have I told you, he is not your older brother!"
Jihi dropped his spoon. Pa. He seemed to also have become angry.
"You even have the nerve to say that? How mischievous was Soobin as a child? It's exactly because you have always whispered in his ear that Jungkooj is not his older brother, that he had come to steal the family estate, that he has become like this currently!"
"Ah, don't tell me what I said is wrong?" Ji Hyun sneered at him. "If there was no Jungkook, Starlight General Merchandise would belong to our Soobin-ie, are you with me now?"
"Dad, mom, I'm full. I'll go to the company first."
Soobin picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth and then got up to leave the dining room. Behind him, the sounds of Jiho and Ji Hyun arguing were still faintly audible. Soobin laughed and carried his briefcase out the door.
He remembered that, in his childhood, his parents had been very loving to one another, but ever since Jungkook came, the two of them began to argue constantly.
In front of outsiders, however, they still acted very close. Originally, if he cried, he could make them stop fighting, but over time, he gradually no longer got involved with their affairs.
When had that begun? Probably when Jungkook had lifted him by the collar and asked him whose mother was the mistress. After that day, he had understood that his mama had stolen Jiho's father, but what about it?
He was Jeon Jiho and Jun Ji Hyun's only son. In this home, the disgrace had always been Jungkook.
Because Lisa remembered to call about her manuscript, she called Jennie first thing in the morning to get her to send two assistants over.
Who would have imagined that Jennie had unexpectedly not gotten up yet. She glanced at the time and asked her, "Chief Kim, do you not need to go to work today?"
"Ah?" This prompted a sleepy Jennie. "What work? Didn't we agree to go pick strawberries today?"
Lisa's brows rose. "Picking strawberries? What picking strawberries?"
Jennie kneaded her temple as she sat up, her quilt pooling around her. "Ah, It seems that I forgot to tell you that Strawberry Gardens opened. We can go pick strawberries."
"Oh...but I want to draw today. It's rare that I have a day off. Invite someone else to go, okay?"
"Others also need to draw, and more urgently than you too!" Jennie stepped into her velvet slippers and walked over to her bathroom.
"I have calculated that picking strawberries shouldn't take a lot of time. You should be able to return in the afternoon. You can draw then. I'll call your assistants for you."
"Assistants definitely need to be called, but..."
"Don't say 'but;' aren't you a strawberry-enthusiast? Don't miss this gigantic opportunity."
Jennie held the phone between her shoulder as she squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush.
"I'm going to wash my face and rinse my mouth, so I won't talk to you any longer. An hour later, I'll come to your house and wait for you. If you aren't coming, your pay is being deducted."
Lisa: "..."
Jennie hung up after she finished speaking. Lisa had a slight headache. She looked over at her computer, where there was still only a draft, and sighed. She exited the drawing software.
Pick strawberries, then we'll just go pick strawberries. Perhaps she could find some new inspiration.
Because she had to leave, she specifically went to wash her hair again. After she came out, she stood in her large dressing room to choose what to wear today.
Mn... light clothes can make one's mood gentler. She took out a silk floral blouse and gently sniffed it. Floral could not be solely classified as a spring element. Winter could also use it to mix and match, thus returning to a vintage style.
She once again picked the super-long white fur coat and brown velvet short skirt. She then walked to her shoe wardrobe and grabbed a pair of red high heels from inside.
After changing, Lisa stood in front of her mirror and nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, wearing high heels could make a woman attractive.
Having put together a nice outfit for herself, she applied makeup and blow dried her hair. Jennie had just arrived downstairs when she finished all her preparations.
She picked up a red shoulder bag and went downstairs. When Jennie saw her walk down, her eyes widened as she said, "Holy shit! Goddess Lalisa, your legs today are long, thin and sexy !"
Lisa fastened her seatbelt and tilted her head to smile at Jennie.
"A long coat and high-waisted short skirt both make your legs seem longer. You deserve to have sexy long legs."
Jennie said, "You look so beautiful. I really want to go back and change my whole outfit..."
Lisa sized her up and commented, "What you're wearing is also pretty good. At least you remembered the main points I normally tell you——the Law of Complementary yet Different Textiles, which accentuates the gradation without making you appear obese. I'll give you 80 points."
"The remaining 20 points are set aside for my room for improvement?"
"No, it's deducted from your face."
Jennie: "..."
Really want to throw her out of the car...
She restrained this kind of impulse and drove to Strawberry Gardens. Because today wasn't the weekend, there weren't that many people coming to pick strawberries.
This point was very much within Lisa's expectations. She and Jennie walked inside, but a few steps later, she saw Jungkook and Taehyung waiting inside.
Lisa's steps halted abruptly. She turned her head to ask Jen, "You invited them?"
"Yes." Jennje smacked her palm with her fist. "Did I also forgot to tell you this?"
Lisa: "..."
When Taehyung saw Lisa, he nearly whistled. "Lisa seems even prettier than when I last saw her! Those legs——even without exaggerating, they're still 2.8 meters!"
Jungkook didn't respond to him. Jennie pulled Lisa forward to greet them. "Good morning, Head Kim, Head Jeon."
"We're outside having fun, don't be so polite. Call me Taehyung, okay?"
Tae winked at her, hinting that they were going to nurture affection between each other.
Jennie understood tacitly. "Okay then."
After she said this, she saw that Lisa and Jungkoij had no reactions. Her eyes twitched twice before she probed, "Why are you two acting so strange? Is Lisa's performance at work poor?"
Jungkook said, "No, her performance is excellent."
"Oh..." So then, what's going on? She glanced at Taehyung, but he seemed baffled as well.
"Then let's go pick strawberries. Over there in row number three, it's chocolate flavored! Let's go pick from there!"
Lisa, however, declined. "I don't want to eat mutations. I want to eat strawberries with their original, natural flavor."
"Oh..." Jennie glanced around the field. "This area over here seems to be it."
Lisa nodded and walked forward with her basket raised. "Then I'll go first and pick this one. I'll find you all later."
Jungkook muttered indistinctly to himself for a moment before he walked forward as well. "I'll accompany her."
Jennie and Taehyung glanced at each other before heading to the third row together.
After Lisa entered the row, she began picking strawberries as if she was racing against time. Jungkook just stood to the side and watched her. After she had picked a pile, she finally couldn't help but taste one. "So sweet!"
Jungkook knitted his brow slightly together. "Don't you need to wash this strawberry?"
"Oh, tasting one or two shouldn't be a problem. You can see others eating them too."
She took out her phone and took a few pictures of the strawberries. She pondered for a moment before retrieving another strawberry from the basket and asking Jungkook, "Do you want to taste? It's really sweet."
Jungkook pursed his lips before crouching down beside her. He easily picked a strawberry and placed it into the basket. "I apologize for these past two days."
Lisa's eyes glinted slightly and fed a strawberry into her mouth. "It's I who should apologize for saying something that I shouldn't have said..."
"It's not your fault; it was my own problem." Jungkook once again plucked a strawberry and placed it into the basket.
His brows furrowed slightly as he said, "I haven't sorted out my emotions. I also didn't know how I should tell you, so I kept avoiding you. This matter, however, has never been your fault..."
Jungkook was still organizing his words to continue speaking when Jian Yan nodded and said, "I understand, but I just wanted to say..."
She took out the new strawberry Jungkook had placed into the basket and explained to him, "It's like this strawberry——If it doesn't look pretty, then fine; but here it's still a little green, so it's unlikely that it will be very sweet."
