The next day after that, due to her approaching exam, Lisa locked herself in her study room. Nevertheless, when evening came, the girl decided to execute another step to continue her mission.

She then took her precious note and she scrutinized it for a while before she finally chose the most fitting one.

’Step #15; Send him text throughout the day’

Jennie warned Lisa never to treat this step as something effortless and simple. She told her that this step also requires some rules to make it effectively successful.

The first rule was to message him casually, or a message that somehow appeared laid-back but sweet at the same time. She also said that it is better to send him messages that was not too bold at the beginning.

Thus, understanding the said advice, lisa then sent him a simple ’good evening’ with a winking cat emoji.

And as soon as she sent it, like a teenage girl waiting for her crush’s reply, lisa was a bit anxious as she waits when the phone suddenly rung.

Huh? He’s calling?

Lisa was quite surprised. She did not expect the man to suddenly give her a call.

Thankfully, she manage to react quite fast and she cleared her throat first before answering the

phone.
"Hello? J-Jungkook?"

"Mm, it’s me."

Jungkook’s quick answer somehow made lisa a bit stunned. Additionally, his voice was just gorgeous enough that anyone who hears him might think he’s some lost mythical god talking at the other side of the phone.

"Uhh..." Unexpectedly, the girl was lost for words. She struggled thinking about the words she will say and she didn’t know why. "Uhm... y-yesterday, are you busy when I called?"

Well, that was the first topic that appeared in her mind.

"I’m not." Jungkook’s prompt answer made lisa’s brows knitted slightly. Then why did you not say anything?

Lisa wanted to ask, but she didn’t.

"I-is that so?" she said and the man just uttered a short "Mm."

"Oh, okay. Ah, my exam will be this Saturday."

Lisa somehow started talking casually. In addition, a smile started carving beautifully in her face when the man cheered her up. "Do your best."

"Mm. Thank you. Is it okay for me to call you at this same time again?"

"Anytime."

"Eh? Anytime? Are you sure?"

"Mm."

"O-okay." Lisa was surprised that he said she could call him anytime. It was because the reason why she did not call him again yesterday until now was that she was afraid she might disturb him.

So of course, hearing him said that made her smiled pleasantly, however, a certain feeling inside her chest started bothering her and her smile began to fade.

A short silence then went by before Davi could talk again.

"When will you come back home?" she asked and her voice suddenly sounds melancholic. However, what she heard next instantly turned her eyes wide in disbelief.

"I’m home."

Huh? Did I heard it wrong?

Lisa blinked more than three times before she could raise her head for she finally felt that someone seemed to be watching her. And as soon as she saw the masked man’s silhouette standing on the entrance and looking towards her, lisa immediately fell in daze as he stared at him, speechless.

What? Are you serious? What is this? Why does this felt as if he’s attacking me back with his own surprises? Is this some sort of counter attack?

Lisa was dumbfounded for a moment as her eyes were glued with the man on the entrance. But as soon as she heard the sound of the phone indicating that the call has ended, she finally snapped awake.

She slowly put her cellphone down and she felt her ears suddenly heating up as the man started walking closer to her.

That moment, lisa’s emotions were getting ahead of her. Jungkook’s appearance was a bolt from the blue making her temporarily lost her brain’s ability to process things. And while Jungkook was getting closer, time just seemed to slowed down and Lisa could only watch him walking towards her with a blank mind.

Somehow, the peaceful yet melancholic atmosphere a moment ago went somewhat dramatic. The masked man in black was gazing at the girl on the couch as he slowly walked towards her, while the girl wearing a large white t-shirt just sat there as she waits for his approach. It was a scene that was perfect for a movie, as if they were two people secretly longing for each other.

However, the movie-like scenario didn’t last long. Out of nowhere, a large face of a shameless someone suddenly popped in front of lisa, instantly destroying the emotional atmosphere as if he was the uncooperative third wheel who was more excited witnessing a couple’s brawl than a romantic play.
He stood just in front of her before Jungkook could even get near.

"Hello young miss. I heard you said, you wanted to beat the young master, is that true?"

The first statement she heard from this soldier looking third wheel upon his return immediately made her stunned. What the hell is he talking about?

That moment, lisa suddenly felt like he wanted to beat this man instead. However, when she finally remembered the words she said that night, she gasped and her eyes reflexively roamed around as if she’s looking for someone.

At that time the young man suho just stepped in the entrance when Lisa’s glare immediately caught him, causing him to felt a sudden chill.

Suho instantly went pale and putting his palm together, he gestured the word sorry while his pretty face turned terribly apologetic before he retreated like a trembling little puppy.

After seeing the boy’s regretful face, lisa could only sigh before she looked at the man looking like a hungry gossip guy in front of her.

"T-that was..." Lisa couldn’t continue talking because Jungkook casually pulled the guy away in front of her, as if he was some unnecessary little block on his way.

After that, he stood close to her as his gaze fell on her.

"Did I upset you?" he asked and he sounded as though he was trying to confirm it.

As soon as she heard him, lisa felt like her face turned impossibly hot. She was suddenly feeling embarrassed, however, she still nodded honestly.

Looking at her reden face, Jungkook sat beside her and continued, "I will let you beat me, go ahead."

Hearing his statement, lisa’s eyes slowly widened in disbelief.

"H-huh?" What did he just say?
