After breakfast...

Jungkook moved right away to leave. Noticing his unusual hastiness, lisa then walked beside him in his pace towards the entrance.

"When will you back?" she asked. And the masked man just answered her with another one word. "Tomorrow."

Somehow, lisa felt as though she was really glad that he wasn’t leaving for another long days. One reason why was that, lisa was afraid that the familiarity she established with him will be hard to maintain when he disappear again. And worse was that, she noticed that whenever he comes home, it was as though the thick frozen barrier around him that she worked so hard to soften while he’s with him will always going back to its usual frosty coldness again. And everytime that happens, it only means, she has to begin again.

"Oh--- I see." Lisa nodded as she smiled at him pleasantly, as though his single-word response just made her exceptionally happy.

Seeing the girl’s unbelievably bright eyes and dazzling face,  Jungkook thought it might be because she had such a good sleep last night. She even seemed to be the reason why he himself slept that long.

Something that appeared to be a once in a blue moon experience for him.

Thinking about it, Jungkook halted and faced towards her. Making lisa looked at him with curious eyes.

"About what I said yesterday, you can do what you want."

Jungkook’s words caused lisa to blink three times. Then another bright smile carved in her pretty face. "Mm. I’ll do my best!" she said in a tone filled with energy and determination.

"Good." Jungkook put his big hand into lisa’s head for a while before walking away.

But the moment Jungkook’s hand left her head, lisa unconsciously raised her handand played with her hair he just touched. She seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. It was because every time Jungkook does that to her, she felt as though Jungkook was such a warm, cold person. It was as if, his icy voice, his cold, mysterious aura and his deafening silence will all melted at once every time she felt the warmth of his hand.

To her, his warm hand is a powerful energy ball. And the only thing she can do at the moment was smile, run after him and do what’s needed to be done.

Just before Jungkook steps out of the entrance, he noticed an approaching fast and light steps so he turned his head back. To his surprise, the girl suddenly pulled his hand towards her from behind him, tiptoed, then kissed him near his lips, and ran away in a flash without turning back.

Jungkook stood there motionless for a moment, at the same time puzzled as he watches lisa’s disappearing silhouette. He was wondering why she always ran away instantly every time she kisses him.

...

"Hohoho, another flash kiss huh. How sweet." Jimin’s annoying voice instantly burst the moment Jungkook entered the car.

Thinking he could tease him again, jimin was about to continue talking when Jungkook dropped a word bomb towards him.

"We’re late," he said. And those two words instantly clammed jimin’s mouth for quite a pleasing long time. He then focused himself driving as fast as he could.

But some time later, the bomb slowly dissipated and he talked again.

"Ugh! I wonder how high the intensity of that old man’s anger when we arrive."

Jimin already removed his mask since a while ago, so at that moment, his pale face showed nothing but wariness. A face that appeared as though they’re about to head into a certain deadly devil’s den.
