Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 15: His Tenacity

A woman's instinct can sometimes be a strange thing.

For example today, whether or not she eats breakfast or whom she eats it with is really a small and unimportant matter. But recalling the back view of Jungkook walking away by himself, Lisa feels uneasy for some reason.

Thinking about it again, she's probably just too soft-hearted.

Sitting in the car heading back to the station, Bambam glances at Lisa.

After a while, he glances at her again.

Lisa ties up a bag of Xiaolongbao (steamed soup buns). puts it inside an insulated bag, and asks without lifting her head, "Why are you looking at me?"

Bambam feels a bit hurt, "Leader, do you have feelings for Jungkook? You didn't even go eat breakfast with Forensic Investigator Kim."

Lisa decides to ignore him.

"But if you really do fall in love, I'll definitely support you," Bambam says with determination, "We have no choice but to dump Forensic Investigator Kim.

"Rest assured," Lisa puts both of her hands behind her head, "No matter whom I fall in love with, it won't be Jungkook."

"Why?"Lisa looks to the front, "His mood is too heavy."

They arrive to the station soon after.

Lisa pushes open the office door and sees Jungkook sitting by the window with a sandwich in his hand while staring at the whiteboard. There are many things written on it.

Hearing the noise, he glances at her, takes a bite from his sandwich, and continues looking at the whiteboard.

Lisa recognizes that sandwich; it's from the Starbucks just up the front of the street.

What's good about it?

She walks over, and puts the warm steamed buns onto the table, "Here, eat this. Why did you leave in such a hurry? I didn't know that Tae would ask me to go eat with him," she pauses and then says, "Sorry about that."

Jungkook is still staring at the whiteboard. He slowly leans towards the chair.

"It's okay. Valuing sex over friendship and breaking promises is human nature. No need to apologize."

Lisa doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He's not my lover." She looks at the side of his face and thinks in her heart: if anything, you're the one who values sex!

Jungkook reaches out and ruffles through the plastic bag, and places down his sandwich.

"What's the filling?" he grabs one of them.

Lisa is a bit delighted. She sits across from him, "Chinese cabbage and pork. Bought it from a street stall. They're especially yummy." She originally wanted to tell him that street stalls are what make the most delicious foods. But he glances at her and puts the bun back inside."No thanks," he picks up the sandwich and continues eating.

Lisa can sense his attitude so he thinks that street stalls are unclean.

This fellow! An old neighbourhood street stall might just be as clean as a high class hotel! District Chief likes them very much.

He is truly a young master; so picky even when he's a criminal investigator. She has never seen an investigator eat Starbucks breakfast!

She immediately takes the steamed buns back, and decides to give them to District Chief later.
