Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 47: Our Promise (1 or 2)

Lanzhou, Gansu Province.

The mountain range is at a distance. The extensive city landscape stretches out from the edge of the Yangtze river; its prosperity carries a sense of age from vicissitude.

Jungkook is at a coffee shop at the end of a street, which is where he is meeting Yugyeom. Just like in the photo of class 56, Yugyeom is a tall and handsome man.

His facial features are symmetrical. He is wearing a simple shirt and long pants. He looks at Jungkook and reveals a peaceful smile, "Hello. You are a colleague of Lisa?"

Jungkook nods, "Do you mind if I smoke?"

"Not at all. I smoke as well."

Jungkook lights up a cigarette and hands one to Yugyeom. They start smoking quietly for a moment without knowing what to say.

Jungkook called him earlier with a very simple and straightforward reason, "I'm Lisa's colleague. I'm passing by Lanzhou and would like to meet you."

Although Yugyeom was a bit surprised, he agreed to meet anyway.

After remaining silent for a while, Yugyeom asks, "How is she now?" "Not bad," Jungkook answers, "She's currently at the station in Province K."

Yugyeom smiles, "Not bad at all. Congratulate her for me." He glances at Jungkook, "You're her current boyfriend?" Jungkook inhales from his cigarette and then nods.

Some things don't need to be explained between men; especially when Yugyeom seems like an understanding person. He gives Jungkook a once-over and says frankly. "I was with her for a year during college. We later felt that we weren't compatible and my family also wanted me to come back and be a civil worker, so we broke up. She's a nice girl though." He picks up the coffee in front of him. "I wish you two the best. "

Jungkook picks up his mug and hits it lightly against his.

After sitting for a while, Jungkook gets up, "Thank you for your time." The moment he steps out of the coffee shop, his cell phone beeps. It's a text message from Cold Face: " Lisa is leaving the hospital tomorrow."

It's already past 10 pm when Jungkook arrives in City Lan. Visiting hours are already over at the hospital, So he drives back to the station.

The office is pitch black and is empty. He walks behind his desk, sits down and throws all the information that he has gathered onto the table.

He lights up a cigarette and starts smoking quietly.

Lisa. From the day she was hom, her history records are clear and precise. There are also many pieces of evidence proving that she was born in Hongshan, studied at the Shajiang Police Academy and has never been to Beijing, which means it's impossible for her to have participated in the case.

This woman can't possibly have had any interactions with him, Jungkook.

Before taking this trip, his thoughts were that Lisa must have forgotten about him, and the memories they had together must have been wiped away or hidden away from them by some powerful group using some kind of method.

But now, his thoughts have changed.

Even though there are no obvious loopholes on the surface level, the moment he attempts to dig deeper into part of her past, he discovers that......there is nothing.

Building taken down, damaged archives, a fire...

Coincidence? Or were they all caused by someone?

The answer that's in front of him right now is that the "Lisa" from the past has left him with only a general outline of the traces of her life; so blurry that it's hard to make out. Whereas the "Lisa" right now is real and exists intricately.
