Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 21: As Cute as Her

September at City Lan is already getting cold. It's slightly foggy in the morning, and there are cool winds at night. The city is prosperous, pretty, and comfortable, like a pearl surrounded by the rivers.

It's a little past 5pm when Lisa and Bambam arrive at the hotel . It is the public security bureau's (provincial station) designated hotel, and they will start training tomorrow.

Standing in front of the window in the room looking at the Yangtze River and mountains afar, the Chinese parasol trees and the streets, Lisa feels refreshed.

Bambam feels absolutely no shame in lying on her bed with his legs crossed as he asks, "My classmate's car is here. You really don't want to come eat dinner with us?"

Lisa replies without turning her head, "No."

Bambam gets up, walks to her side, and says slowly, " Leader, I think you're becoming more and more boring lately."

Lisa glares at him, but he walks away while humming a melody.

Lisa goes back to sit down on the bed, and leans backward. Bambam's words make her think about last night's dinner with Taehyung.

He also felt surprised after hearing that she would be going to City Lan for a one-week training, "Didn't you hate training and meetings the most? How come you're willing to go this time?"

What did she say at the time?

"Kim, my awareness will also increase. At times, I also want to get some training to upgrade myself."

Thinking about their conversation, she smiles, and then......she takes out her cell phone.

The last text message in her inbox is from Jungkook from one week ago; a brief chat they had that night.

Thinking for a moment, she types: "What are you doing?"

She waits holding the phone.

The screen continues to be dark. The sky outside of the window also becomes dark.

An hour passes.

Lisa breathes out a long breath of air, stuffs the phone into her pocket, gets up, and goes down stairs to get food.

There is a commercial street outside of the hotel with delicious foods everywhere. Lisa decides to shop around and eat; she has an enjoyable night buying a few things.

It's 9pm when she returns to the hotel, but her neighbour Bambam isn't back yet. She's stuffed from all the food she ate. She takes a bath first.

When she comes out, she spots her cell phone flashing on her bed.

She quickly rushes to grab her phone. When she sees "Sender: Jungkook," her heart skips a beat and feels delighted inside.

"Doing overtime. Something's up?"

It's from twenty minutes ago.

Lisa stares at the message for a while, and then replies: "Nothing. Goodnight."

She waits for a moment, and doesn't receive any reply from him. Lisa stuffs the phone under the pillow feeling a bit upset as she lies down with her arms and legs spread out wide. She's going to bed!

Jungkook wasn't able to reply to her first text right away because he was really doing overtime.

He has just returned from outside, still carrying the coolness of the night with him. He sits behind his desk, takes off his hat, fetches his cell phone, and then sees the message that Lisa has sent him a few hours ago.
