The School Hunk is Taken | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 29

There was an open space in our backyard. My father had turned it into a vegetable garden. The garden had lots of seasonal vegetables, all of it grown organically. When I was sin City B, I bought a few tomatoes but they were grown with fertilisers and hormones. If I kept it eyes open while eating them, I knew I was eating tomatoes. But if I closed my eyes, it didn't taste like anything natural.

So when I ate the tomatoes grown here by my dad, I almost burst into tears. My dad panicked at my overwrought emotions and asked me what was going on. "Hey, why don't you have a few more tomatoes?"

On that particular day, I was holding a cucumber in one hand and a tomato in the other. I was eating with great focus while wondering what Jungkook was doing. He had gone out after lunch and was not back yet. I had asked him where he was going, but he had been every mysterious about it. He just told me, "You will know when it is time". As if he was an underground spy!

Although I wasn't happy with all this secrecy, a day without Jungkook around was a day without Jungkook around was a day without oppression. I had to wholly cherish such a rare opportunity. So I swung in the hammock under the Phoenix tree, watching the scenery around while eating cucumber.

Suddenly, a figure blocked my view.

Jaehyun stood bedside me. He bent down slightly and looked at me.

I was shocked by a person suddenly coming into my view. I quickly sat up and looked at him, "Jaehyun....What are you doing here?"

He held a bamboo basket in one hand. He looked like a little girl going to pick mushrooms. He saw me looking at him and immediately blushed. He lowered his read and after a bit of silence asked me, "Why are you not calling me Jaehyun Oppa?"

I tidied my hair as I replied, "Oh, I just forgot!"

If I didn't change the way I addressed him, a certain guy would take revenge!

Jaehyun continued to keep his head lowered. He twisted and pinched his fingers for a long time without a single word. To me, he looked like a shy daughter in law in front of her mother in law. I really could not gifted out why he was so shy. I remembered that he had spoken to me before and we were no longer enemies. Moreover, he had been a squad header fir ten years. When he spoke to others, he spoke with confidence. What was happening now?

The more I thought about it, the more I could feel a headache coming on. So I decided to stop in my have and asked him straight, "What are you here for?" Please excuse me for the rude words. This old thing had been tortured over a long period. All I wanted to do was rest and enjoy my freedom.

Jaehyun handed the basket to me. "These are some fruits from my family garden. My Mom asked me to give them to you".

I looked down and saw that there were a lot of plums in the basket. They were brightly colored.... plump and juicy. I started drooling. I gulped and shook my head. "No need, we already have so many at home. You can keep it".

Although I was tempted, I had to prove to my dad with practical actions that I was a mature person.

Jaehyun put the basket on the small table and said, "This year, we had a bumper crop. So we are distributing to all our neighbours. There's nothing else to it".

After he says this, I no longer needed to decline. Ok. I had to be polite. So I stared at the plums, secretly running my hands in anticipation of when I could lay my hands on them.

After he put down the basket, Jaehyun stood still. I felt it would be awkward to start eating right in front of him so I asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Jaehyun once again started the whole shy Daughter in law act and I had to endure it. I gazed at the plums on the table....those plump fresh fruits were beckoning to me, "Come and eat me, come eat me...."
