Jungkook gripped his phone as though he was about to crumple it the moment he heard jimin’s voice.

"Jungkook, sorry but today is no good," he said and Jungkook’s cold aura burst out of control.

The man on the other side of the phone somehow expected what would be his reaction. Thus, when Jungkook remained silent, he continued talking to him.

"You don’t have to worry, I’m sure she will understand. And besides, you guys can still have the date another time," he continued but the man didn’t even make a single sound. That moment, jimin could already tell that he might not listen to him. However, he anticipated it and he could only say the words ’as expected’ deep within him.

Jimin let go a deep sigh before he threw him the only lethal blow he knew will definitely make him give in.

"Don’t forget Jungkook, it’s not just you who will be in danger anymore. She could get caught into this mess. You know what I mean." He concluded and the call ended. As soon as Jungkook heard his words he seemed as though his frozen senses immediately awakened. Hearing that she might be in danger almost made his veins burst. Causing him to immediately gave in as he clenched his fist tightly as ever.

He knew that jimin will only warn him like this if the situation was more than serious.

Lisa on the other hand, could already tell something was wrong but before she gathered the courage to ask, her phone rang and saw that Mr. Park
was the one calling her.

"H-hello? Mr. Park?"

"Err... young miss. There’s actually some problem so..." the man replied and lisa looked at Jungkook who still looks unbelievably cold.

"P-problem?" she repeated curiously.

"I’m sorry miss but tonight, the boss can’t---"

Before she could hear what Mr. Park was trying to say, Jungkook suddenly reached out his hand with serious look, so lisa could only give the cellphone to him.

"I got it. We’re coming back," Jungkook immediately said to the man on the other side of the phone before he ended the call. The driver also immediately turned the car around as Jungkook just silently stared outside the window.

That moment, lisa was speechless and she could only sit back properly again when he suddenly heard a really rare word coming from him.

"I-I’m sorry," he said and he looked at her with a guilty earnest eyes. Causing lisa to almost forgot to reply him back.

"Ahh... it’s alright. We can still have a date another day, right?" she immediately said and she forced a smile. It was the first time he heard him said sorry so even though she’s undeniably disappointed, she wanted to understand his situation. She was aware that sometimes, things won’t just go as planned and besides, there’s still another day.

On the other hand, Jungkook instantly felt relieved the moment he heard her and he uttered the word "Mm" as he nodded at her. At the same time, his cold aura dissipated and he turned back to his soft and warm self again.

However, he was a bit taken aback when lisa asked.

"But, may I know the reason why?"

Jungkook remained quiet for a while before he replied. "Today is dangerous."

"D-dangerous? What do you mean?"

"..."

Jungkook didn’t answer. He just gazed deeply at her while he lifted his hand and he caressed her head gently as if he was telling her he was sorry but he couldn’t answer her. That moment, lisa felt like something just stung her heart even though she told herself that she understood. And it was not actually because of her disappointment that the date was cancelled, it was because of the fact that she couldn’t even know the reasons why.

Lisa then went silent. She started thinking deep. She knew how mysterious Jungkook was, she knew that from the beginning, she was not allowed to know anything about his identity. However, she never once thought that one day, she will start to feel hurt every time Jungkook won’t tell her anything. She didn’t know that one day, being not allowed to know anything about him will slowly makes her felt little pain. A little pain that sooner or later will gradually grow within her.

Gray mansion...

As soon as they both entered the house, Jungkook went straight to his study room without any word. While lisa who was still a bit crestfallen walked towards their room. And by the time she entered, she leaned on the wall for a while before she went to the bathroom and soaked herself in a warm bath.

Her brain started to wander and after a short while, a smile slowly carved in her face. She remembered that the first time she entered this house, the only feeling brimming in her eyes were fear, uneasiness, and hopelessness. But as time goes by, before she knew it, all those unwanted feelings were all slowly erased as she stayed beside him. He was the one who gave her new hope, he was the one who made her dream again. He made her days warm and purposeful just by being beside her, and she was happy.

Thinking about those made lisa’s resolve to recharged again. She thought that this might be the beginning of the challenging hurdles that she needs to cross. From the beginning, she knew it’ll never be easy, that was why, she will never back off.

...

After her relaxing bath and re-charging her determination, lisa felt revitalized. So she went downstairs to see if the maids already cooked dinner for them. But on his way towards the dining room she saw Mr. Park sitting quietly in the couch.

Looking at him, lisa thought about asking him something that was bugging her, so she walked quietly towards him.

"Mr. Park, can I ask you something?" she asked and the man smiled cheerfully at her as usual.

"Of course you can, what is it young miss?"

"Jungkook said today was dangerous, can you tell me what he meant?"

Lisa’s question obviously made the cheerful Mr. Park a bit taken aback. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck as he talked hesitantly.

"Err... sorry young miss. Well, this is just about security purposes. You don’t have to get anxious about it."

"Why? Is... is Jungkook in danger?"

The moment those words came out of her mouth, Mr. Park fell silent as he averted his gaze away. "Err... that..."

Looking at his troubled face, lisa could already tell she might be right. So without a word, she quietly walked away and went to the dining room. She sat and she bumped her head gently on the table.

Jungkook... Are you really in danger? Why are you in danger?

That moment, lisa’s heart turned heavy. Thinking about Jungkook being in danger scared her more than she thought.

Meanwhile, jimin was watching her secretly and when he saw how worried she was, he decided to inform Jungkook.

He then went and entered the dimly lit study room and he walked closer to the man occasionally tapping something on the computer’s keyboard as his eyes were glued into the screen.

"I think your wife wasn’t disappointed, she was worried about you," jimin broke the cold silence and the man slowly turned to him with confused face.

"Worried?"

"It’s your fault. You know your wife isn’t an idiot. When you said it’s dangerous, of course she’ll only deduce, you’re in danger."

Upon hearing him, Jungkook fell quiet for a while before he talked again. "I don’t want to lie to her."

"But because of that she’s now getting anxious over you," jimin replied causing Jungkook to look even more troubled. A look that was amusing for the man beside him.

"Well, you just need to tell her not to worry."
