"Sure." Jimin nodded.
Lisa had stated things very clearly, so if he continued to go easy on her, he would seem a bit too petty.
Jimin knew that Lisa had a high IQ, so she would still win even if he didn't go easy on her...
"Let's begin," Lisa said as she looked at the dealer.
The dealer put on white gloves and began to deal cards to the two; the rules of this variant of blackjack were simple.
Each person was dealt one card at a time, and whoever gets closer to 20 without passing it wins. Of course, the closer it was to 20, the better.
If they went over, then they would lose, but they could choose whether or not they wanted another card...
The dealer first dealt a card to Jimin, and Jimin immediately showed it on the table. It was a red heart nine.
The dealer then dealt one to Lisa, revealing a black heart six.
Jimin said, "Hit me."
The dealer passed another card, which was a seven. The sum of seven and nine was sixteen, which was already very close to twenty.
The dealer then passed one to Lisa, which turned out to be a ten. Ten and six makes sixteen as well, making her very close to twenty.
Chaeyoung's heart began to race as she watched, but of course, she was praying that Lisa could win.
The dealer looked at both of them, and then he asked Jimin, "Another hit?"
"Hit me..." said Jimin calmly.
The dealer dealt another card. It was a king. In this version of blackjack, all the face cards and aces counted for 1 point each, so Jimin now had seventeen.
The dealer continued to ask Lisa, "Another hit?"
"Yes." Lisa was also very calm.
Those around them were all rattled up, as they felt nervous for the two.
The dealer passed Lisa a three. Sixteen and three immediately made it to 19 points.
Chaeyoung was overwhelmed with excitement, as she pulled onto Bambam's collar and said, "Our girl will win for sure."
"Hey, I can see. I'm not blind, okay?" Bambam looked helpless, as Chaeyoung's pull wrinkled his collar.
The dealer looked at Jimin. "Would you like another hit?"
"Of course." Jimin was also filled with confidence.
"But you're already at 17, sir. If you continue, then you might go bust," the dealer kindly warned.
"My opponent is already at 19 points. If I don't continue, then I would still lose, so I might as well take a gamble."
The dealer fell silent and continued to deal to Jimin...
Jimin looked at it once, and then he gave his bad boy smile. Everyone around was overwhelmed with excitement the second he showed his cards...
It was a three, and seventeen plus three just happened to be 20 points.
"My gosh, how could it really be 20 points? Young Master park sure is lucky."
"Yea, how amazing is that? I even thought that he would lose for sure with those cards."
Rounds of discussions rolled through the crowd...
"That's it, our girl is going to lose... I think I danced for victory a little prematurely." Chaeyoung became upset.
