Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 67: Typical Case Part 2

It's already past 8pm when Jungkook's car makes it home.

Lisa has been quiet throughout the whole ride and Jungkook has let her be. The car stops still. She pushes open the door and hops out of it, "I'm going to go buy some things. You can go up first."

Jungkook is holding the keyring with his pinky as he walks to her. He lowers his head to look at her, "Where are you going?" Lisa looks up and smiles, "Just the small supermarket ahead."

"I'll go with you."

"There's no need," Lisa says feeling awkward, "I'm getting some feminine hygiene products. What are you coming for? It'll make me uncomfortable. Please don't come. Hurry and go home to take a shower."

Jungkook stops his footsteps and watches her leave quickly.

He stuffs his hands into his pockets and smiles.

She has only been living at his place for a few days and she has already heen leaving her "feminine hygiene products" all over the place. But now she's being shy about buying them?

The moment Lisa enters the small supermarket, she goes straight to the cigarettes and wine counter. The representative greets her politely, "What would you like?"

Lisa's eyes are glowing staring at the cigarettes on the shelves She swallows and points, "Give me a box of Yuxi." She wants to smoke a good pack today.

Just as she is fetching her wallet, a hand reaches over suddenly and grabs onto hers.

"She doesn't want it anymore, thank you."

Lisa is in shock. She turns around and sees Jungkook, who has snuck up behind her. His eyes are dark. He's still grabbing onto her wrist with one hand while pressing on the countertop with the other. He's not saying anything. He's just looking at her quietly like this.

Lisa feels a bit of guilt from being caught. She follows him out of the supermarket with him holding her hand "Jungkook, I just want to smoke one, can't I?" she sways his arm.

"No," he answers frankly without turning his head.

"Hmph!"

After a while, they walk into the courtyard area of the apartment building. Jungkook pulls her along to sit on a bench and looks at her sideways.

Lisa crosses her arms and stares back at him, "Do you really have no urge to smoke? You've never had one hehind my back?" His smoking addiction is worse than hers. But for the past few days, whenever she sees other investigators having a smoke, she craves for one so badly, yet he still looks fine.

In the night sky. Jungkook's eyes are especially dark.

"I do." he answers, "But I will definitely do everything that I promised you."

His words make Lisa feel ashamed of herself, but at least her craving seems to have gone down a bit. On the other hand, she still feels irritated. She raises her hand to the back of her head and ruffles her hair. She looks at him with a pitiful expression, "But I really feel depressed."

Jungkook stares at her and then lets out a laugh. He reaches out his arms and embraces her.

Lisa asks, "What are you laughing about?"

"Nothing."

Nothing. It's just that every now and then when she looks up, his every frown and every smile are too lively, but they're all real and not images from her dreams.
