Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 42: Confidante (3 of 3)

Very soon, the sound becomes louder and noisier. It sounds like there is more than one helicopter circling the top of the mountain. And at the same time, a number of searchlights shine into the sky as well as towards the top of the mountain.

"You're right," T speaks suddenly, "your moves have gotten better than they were five years ago."

Just when Jungkook is about to speak, he catches Lisa tripping on her footstep with the corner of his eye. Her face is completely pale and looks as if she is about to faint. He feels a squeeze in his heart. He holds the gun steady on one hand and reaches his other arm out, pulls her over, and locks her into his embrace.

She might have triggered the wound inside due to fighting with T just now. Therefore, after Lisa finishes talking, she feels a bigger rush of blood than before and her chest and stomach are hurting like they are going to explode. She can feel Jungkook's arm wrapped around her waist tightly. She leans against his chest, sniffing the scent coming from his body, and her mind starts to become blurry. She bites hard on her lip to wake herself up again.

"Internal bleeding," T speaks, "She covered you when Kang Min struck with a bat."

Jungkook doesn't say anything.

But Lisa feels his arm holding her waist tightened. She looks up, and their eyes meet.

Those dark brown eyes cause Lisa's heart to skip a beat. She smiles towards him and says softly, "I'm okay."

He's breathing on her face but doesn't respond. They both lift their heads and look at T again.

At this very moment, three helicopters have already arrived and are circling the area. Numerous searchlights illuminate everything that is happening on the flat land at the top of the mountain. It's as if everything will come to an end. A number of rope ladders are thrown down from the helicopters; the SWAT team and other armed policemen come down at full speed. And on the helicopters, many guns are pointing at T, who's in a confrontation with Jungkook.

"Drop down your weapon! Put the weapon down immediately!" Namjoon's voice comes on the loudspeaker, "Otherwise I will shoot!"

"Things should end where they started. That was my first case," T looks at them. The searchlights shine on his whole body, reflecting blinding yet dismal rays of white. But he reveals the calmest smile, "I am one of the serial killers from five years ago. I'm sorry."

Lisa and Jungkook are struck dumb.

They see T lift up his gun super fast and points it at his left chest suddenly Jungkook releases his arm around Lisa's waist as he pounces forward!

It's too late!

"Bang!"

Blood erupts instantly from T's chest; the bullet has already gone through him .Jungkook has only made it in time to hold onto his collar. The gun in his hand has already fallen to the ground.

Lisa also falls to the ground after losing support; everything seems to be going dark in front of her eyes. But she can still see Jungkook's face turning paler than she has ever seen. He hangs onto T's collar, who's almost on his last breath, and roars, "Where is she? Where is my fiancé?"

Where is she?

My fiancee...... Where is she?

The she who I've searched for many days and nights...... where exactly is she?

"I cannot tell you," T closes his eyes slowly after saying these four words.

And Lisa watches Jungkook's body stiffen the moment he hears these words. She can only feel a tremendous amount of pain stabbing her heart. She can longer withstand and suppress the rush of hot liquid inside. Everything in front of her becomes a blur, but Jungkook's extremely stubborn expression from just now is stuck in her mind like it has been engraved with a hot iron.
