46. Good but Boring
She was late.
Rushing toward the checking area and entering the plane, cursing under her breath because of Bobby who just about to make her missed the flight.
He bought them tickets for 3 days holiday in Bangkok, visiting her parents which is make her happy, for a while forgetting what just had happened to her life. She was waiting for the man to get ready only to read a note inside the bedroom saying that Bobby probably already on plane, to NYC because his wife needs him.
He never does that before but when she checks her boarding pass and reaching the seat which is supposed to be her and Bobby, she is not even that surprised anymore to find the seat of Bobby's already taken. With a man in a black coat, white t-shirt and jeans on. His Balenciaga shoes almost looks like hers, and his eyes setting on her.
They were looking at each other in silence before the man slowly smile at her genuinely, extending his hand for hers. Conscious that her existence probably will make other passengers uncomfortable she sat on her seat not even bother to take the man's hand.
She can ignore the man's eyes for now, but she can't guarantee that she is still success doing that in the next 4 hours before they landed. So, they were in silence for almost half an hour, he was calmly looking at the window while she has a war inside her brain. Before she decides to talk to him.
"How's Jen?" She said when their eyes met again. Jungkook sighing before he is sitting half side to see her face clearly.
"She is okay." He beams blinking his eyes as he looks at her eyes, her nose, lips. Trying to remember them when he can't see her again. "How are you, Lis?"
"I am alive."
"I heard about you and Mr. Kim Kai." He said shortly eyeing how her face turned to be nervous. "I am happy that you are happy." He clearly knows that she is not happy, the proof was there. The bag under her eyes, the dark circle, the pale skin, the skinny body of hers. He can't find anything but pain in her eyes. She smirks while looking at her laps, mocking herself.
"Same do with yours." She said with a pain which is slowly eating her heart. "The dreams will come true, right?" She beams again watching him with her fake smile. "Good wife, an edible and warm food, and soon to have babies."
"But still in pain." His words successfully make her speechless. She knows nothing to say anymore. All what she sees right now is a healthy Jungkook. He looks happy and healthy; little did she knew the pain just disappear when she was sitting on the seat. Beside him.
"Sorry." She murmurs before turning to see the back side of the seat in front of her. There is a silence atmosphere again until Jungkook talk.
"Bobby said sorry." He beams and Lisa smirk thinking about what terrible thing she should do to him as a revenge. How dare he trap her.
"Tell him I am not even surprised." Her response make Jungkook smile and hesitantly he reaches for her hand, caressing the pale skin of hers and found that she was so cold.
"What's going on with your hand?" He asks worriedly taking both of her hands and warm them with his, once in a while giving her a small blow that's so warm.
"It's nothing."
"Nothing?" Now he looks mad make Lisa biting her lips. "Nothing that make you freeze like this?"
"Don't be a dramatic Jungkook-ssi."
"Oppa, its Jungkook oppa." He is still in his mad state that she nods to what he just complains. "Even your face too." His hand now cupping her cheeks, feeling how freezing the girl he adores.
"It's okay, it's just a side effect of the pills that I took hours ago." She calmly said, try to free her face from his hands but it's no use.
"What kind of pill?"
"You won't understand so why bother." She said now start to feel annoyed praying his hand off of him. "Behave please, we are on our way to walk on our own path, right?" His heart aches as her words reaching his ears. "We worked hard for that, so don't make it useless." She then motioning to put on headset when he snatched it and surprisingly bringing her face to his. Erasing the space between the two and she beliefs her heart jumped a little when he kisses her so deep that she lost her own sanity which is causing her to kiss him back.
His lips taste like a cherry which is so sweet and melted inside her mouth, become the toxic which shutting down every cell in her brain, accelerating her heart and it sure making her head so dizzy. His hand so firm holding her chin and the back of her neck. The kiss become more intense in every second, from lips to lips now become a tongue fight until a lady of the flight attendant clearing her throat beside their seat make both of them stopped.
It was awkward, Lisa hides on his chest while Jungkook can only chuckled out of happiness after tasting his painkiller that he missed, not even minding the lady who just stand awkwardly in front of him. He pats her back and looking at the female attendant with an apologizing look.
"Sorry." He murmurs softly. "This lady is so stubborn that I had to kiss her to shut her." A small fist hit his bicep make him giggled.
It should be stop. Their forbidden relationship. But she can't help it, she beliefs that he is happy to finally have someone he loves in his embrace, a good wife like Kim Jennie. But then to see the way his eyes twinkling, how he grins playfully, so happy that for seconds she wants to believe that she is his reason.

"Priya!" Her mother shout happily that makes Lisa running and hug the woman as happy as her mother. "Oh, my baby, we miss you so much."
"No. I miss you first." The girl complaining with her pouty lips. They were laughing at her reaction while they hug her from one to another. Until their eyes found a good-looking man standing awkwardly watching them nervously with his Bamby eyes.
"Oh, you have boyfriend, baby." Her mother saying in disbelieves. Her hand was prey Lisa's hand while her eyes still on Jungkook. "Handsome."
"Mom." Lisa was on her stepfather's embrace when her mom approaching Jungkook.
"Welcome home, son." She warmly smiling at him before hugging him. His heart feels so warm to see how her mother welcome him like his own mom. The thing he missed the most after God took his. He bows after their hug.
"Hello, Mrs. Manoban, I am Jeon Jungkook." He politely said make the older almost jumping in excitement.
"I am happy that she brings someone else, no Bobby." She claims while linking her arms on Jungkook's.
"Oh, come on, you will make Bobby sad. What's wrong with Bobby anyway?" Lisa said calmly walk to the nearest cafe inside the airport. She needs coffee.
"He is all good, but I am boring." Its successfully make Jungkook laugh lightly. "And Jungkook not make me bored."
"Anything boasts your happiness mom." Lisa claims and looking to the waitress beside them. "I want americano."
And after each of them ordering their drink, they talk again.
"I supposed to come here with Bobby, but he willingly gave that chance to Jungkook-ssi." She explains make the older woman furrowing her brows. "I promised Jungkook to take him home the other day so, Bobby just wants me to grant all the wishes I gave for anyone around me."
"He is a good guy." Said Marco that makes Lisa smile and nods. All happy that Bobby gets the praise.
"And boring."
"Mooooom." Whined Lisa makes her mom laughing again.
"So, what's make our Priya promising you to take you home?" Jungkook was about to answer when Lisa takes the part first.
"He is the one with the unending pain." Jungkook looked up at Lisa, surprised to know that she talks about him to her parents. "Jennie's husband."
--
"Still up?" He turns around to face Lisa who is just half away through the door. He watches her intently; sadness and madness came over him tonight. And he can't beliefs that she is the one who caused them. She was always curing the pain in him but today she makes the pain for him.
He nods and turn to the balcony once again, watching the clouds which is hide the moon from him. He can feel Lisa approaching him make him to stay a bit, making some space for her to stand and watching the moon playing hide and seek.
"Mad?" She asked again which is granted no answer from him. She aware the way he becomes silent proofing that he is mad. "Jungkook-ssi."
"Oppa, its oppa, Lis." She sucks on her breath as his voice sending shiver down her spine. "I don't know that you speak a lot about me." She takes a deep breath. She knows. She is at fault, but she can't really hide anything from her family. "Including my status as the husband of your friend."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Now what will they think about me, about you after knowing the fact that you are close to me, even promised me to take me to your home?" His voice shaking but he manages to make it calm.
"So, you prefer me to commit another sin? You prefer me lie to my own family about you, while I already at fault as I try to take you from Jen." But she failed to control her own. Her voice come cracked, so emotional that she raises her voice so high.
"I seduce you first."
"And I took your seduction. I am that bitch, Jungkook-ssi."
"Its oppa-"
"Stop forcing me to get drown on this feeling, I can't call you that without hoping."
"So don't stop. Don't stop hoping."
"And I am tired to hope you stay by my side when you can't even fill small promises because of Jen." She cuts his words and looks away, too shy to approve that she almost beliefs that there is future for them. "Stop force me to beliefs that we have future, because Jungkook-ssi I wanted to surrender. This is so painful to have one side love."
"It's not one side love, baby."
"Then you'll choose between me and Jen. You can't have both of us, your hand wont enough to hold us. One of us will fall and breaking. And it's me. The third wheel, the mistress."
"I choose you." He half shout make Lisa shut up in an instant because of her heartbeat, she is so happy, or just scared to finally heard what her heart always questioning every day? "I choose you but please be patient, baby." The hands of his that first on her shoulder now yanked to the free air as she walks away. But he won't let her go. Almost reaching the door he pulls her to his.
"I lost it. I can't."
"A little more. Promise you, baby. I can't be that heartless toward Jen's family who is always treat me like their own son by letting them go down."
"You can keep helping them after you-"
"The divorce will make the investor go away. Just a little more time, baby. I promise you."
She was speechless and hesitate, but his lips really make her mind clouded. With soft moans she ends up nodding at him. Make the man so happy while cupping her cheeks.
"Believe me, baby."
--
"Should we save her, Marco?" Ask mrs. Manoban worriedly, looking up stair, after listening some noises that is cause by Lisa and Jungkook.
"Let her solve her problem by herself, honey." Said Marco, her husband. She nods but still feel worried, more over after the noise stop.
"Don't you think it's too painful for Lisa to love someone who has wife?"
"Can't you see something in his eyes for our daughter, hon?" The man asked to make the woman closed her mouth and nod.
"He loves her." She beams. "I just wish that they will be happy no matter what's way they took. Together or separated."
