Time passed and lisa finally recovered. She focused herself into preparing the dinner. She knew that it’s been nearly a month since she cooked for him, thus, she wanted to give her all.

However, her peaceful cooking was interrupted by jimin-in-disguised, Mr. Park. His smile was wide as soon as he saw lisa.

"Hoho. So our young miss is slowly getting bolder huh. Not bad, not bad." Hearing his mischievous teasing, the girl who just recovered, blushed again. Ugh! This guy.

"Please don’t tease me Mr. Park. I can’t possibly beat him for real okay?" she said and the man just chuckled mischievously as if he was enjoying the sight of her being shy.

"Ohh... how kind of you, young miss."

"Please stop giggling."

"Haha. Don’t mind me young miss, I’m just happy. And because I’m happy, I will tell you a secret about Jungkook." The man said and then he sidled towards her while his mischievous grin was still carved on his face. Lisa on the other hand went instantly curious as hell as soon as she heard Jungkook’s name.

"Truth was that... Jungkook was... that was actually..."

"Please just say it."

"Haha. Calm down, I’m saying it. Would you believe me if I’ll tell you that that was actually Jungkook’s f-first kiss?"

Upon hearing his statement, lisa slowly moved away from him. She blinked more than three times before her eyes were filled with nothing but disbelief.

"No, don’t lie to me mr. Park. Besides, how did you even know? It’s not like you’re following him even in his bed." Lisa shook her head as she looked at him with disapproving eyes. However, her reaction just made the man laughed even harder.

"Why?

You won’t accept it because you’re guilty stealing a virgin’s first kiss?"
As soon as those words came out of his mouth, lisa was instantly stunned. W-w-w-what the hell is this man talking about? Me? Stealing a virgin’s first kiss?

"Mr. Park, truth was that, I’m still upset, can you sacrifice yourself instead?"

"H-huh? W-wait, I’m just a lowly body guard, I have nothing to do with my boss’s personal--- Ahh!"

Without waiting for him to complete his statement, lisa caught his hand instantly and locked it on his back while she pushed him hard towards the kitchen’s exit as if the fragile lady suddenly turned into some fierce gangster.

"W-wait, young miss. Why me? You won’t even lay a hand to Jungkook, why are you being fierce with me?"

"Because you’re bad mouthing my husband. I won’t forgive anyone who will do that to him, even if it’s you, do you understand?"

"H-huh? When did I bad mouth your husband? I’m just tel--- Ouch! Where did your strength even came from? Are you perhaps a gorilla in disguise--- OUCH!"

Lisa kept pushing the man as she kept pulling his hand behind to hurt him a little. However, as if a glass just fell on the floor and crashed into pieces, lisa was stunned the moment she raised her head.

The presence of a tall godly figure leaning on the door frame looking at her instantly froze lisa and she didn’t realize that she exerted an even greater force on jimin’s hand causing the man to cry out in pain.

"Ahh! Ou-ouch!" Mr. Park’s loud voice startled her and she let go of him right away as her gaze remained looking to Jungkook’s direction.

At that moment, looking at the girl suddenly fidgeting before him, as if the fierce gangster immediately returned into her usual angel-like self, Jungkook walked closer to her.

"What happened?" he asked facing towards lisa.

"Uhm... Th-that... it’s because he’s... badmouthing yo... he said I stole your... he said I’m a thief." As soon as those words left her mouth, lisa bit her lower lip as she turned her face away, embarrassed.

I can’t possibly tell him the nonsense Mr. Park just said, right?

However, she felt a sudden chill coming from him that same moment causing her to look at him again, and the moment she saw him glaring at Mr. Park with faint feeling of rage, she felt a sudden guilt even though Mr. Park seemed unbothered by it.

"Haha. Er... I was just teasing the---"

"Uhm... Jungkook, it’s no big deal, I’m just actually trying to make him leave the kitchen so I can monopolize you tonight..." a strange silence followed her statement. And lisa was stunned to the core with her own words. What the hell did I just said?!

"Pfft! Ohoo, you should have told me earlier young miss. This lowly third wheel will now leave." Jimin said leaving the couple both speechless.

As if a certain spirit was walking by, lisa and Jungkook remained silent for a long while.

Until the girl finally moved. She scratched her neck as she smiles at him a bit awkwardly.

She didn’t know why she said those words, but that moment, she decided to move on right away and try doing it instead. Besides, it’s really been too long since her husband was within her reach like this. She will grab every chances to make up for the lost days when he was away.

"Shall we sit?" she then asked as if she was an olden day gentle man while the man just nodded like the most obedient graceful cold goddess.

However, before lisa could turn and walk towards the dining table, the cellphone in her pocket suddenly rung. The two of them stared at each other for a while before she answered the call in front of him.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Are you Haru sister lisa?"

The moment lisa heard her little brother’s name, her heartbeat instantly fell in chaos as the smile in her face faded. Fear and worry immediately reflected across her eyes as she gripped her phone tight while her voice started to falter.

"Y-yes, I am her sister, m-may I help you?"

"Ms. Mizuri, your brother has been rushed here in the hospital---"

As soon as she heard the voice saying her brother was rushed in the hospital, lisa’s brain turned blank and the phone fell in her hand.

Thankfully, Jungkook who was watching her the whole time managed to catch the phone. He looked at the girl who was just smiling brightly a moment ago instantly turned into a lifeless white sheet, before he answered the phone himself.

"What hospital?" he asked and as soon as he heard the answer, he ended the call as he dialed another number on his own cellphone.

"Jimin, get the car. Now." His voice was serious as his eyes were focused on the helpless girl in front of him. It was the first time he saw her like this. The fear in her eyes were even greater than her fear with any ghosts. Her eyes that usually emitting such an overwhelming determination and fighting spirit were like stars that instantly lost its light. That moment, the brave and cheerful girl finally revealed her Achilles heel right before his eyes.

Jungkook’s fist clenched for a while before he held her hand. And as if their palms just embraced warmly, he held her hand gently as ever. That very moment, as soon as lisa felt his warmth, she lifted her head, as if his hand was an energy ball that instantly returned the life in her eyes.

The man spoke no words but lisa strangely felt as if he was saying ’don’t worry, he’ll be fine’ silently. And as if she heard him said it, she nodded at him, causing the man to get stunned for a while before they finally rushed towards the door.

They get into the car without letting go of each other’s hand. And as the car sped through the city hospital, nobody said a word. Lisa’s eyes were filled with worry but the warm hand she’s holding onto was like a powerful pillar that was lifting her, as if telling her she will never fall again as long as she won’t let go.
