When he heard those words, Jungkook was taken aback. The corner of his lips turned downwards, though it was gone as soon as it appeared.

In regards to Lisa's whereabouts, he only pinpointed that she was in N City, but he didn't know what she was up to. However, he didn't have any intention of telling that to Donghyuk. Seeing that Donghyuk didn't have anything else to report, he raised his hand to hang up the call, looking unusually calm.

"Hey, Boss! Wait a minute!" Donghyuk realized that Jungkook was going to hang up for real, and he immediately collected himself. "Miss Cecily and Mr. Ying are gone."

"Gone?" Jungkook's fingers halted, and his brows furrowed.

Donghyuk was slightly concerned as he continued, "We made an appointment to meet here, but I haven't seen a hair of them until now."

Jungkook nodded, indicating that he understood, and hung up the video call.

Hoseok hurried stepped forward to show him a message that he just received. "Boss, Miss Cecily has just sent a message asking for help. The signal isn't strong, but we can probably pinpoint a location."

Jungkook gave a glance at it, and said lightly, "Send it to Donghyuk."

"We're not going to save her?" Hoseok asked, his eyes wide.

"No." Jungkook lowered his eyes, looking away and heading towards the top of the mountain.

Hoseok almost choked on his saliva over the shock, and he mulled over Jungkook's words for a while, trying to decipher whether there was any hidden meaning behind it. Finally, he sent the coordinates to Donghyuk, and added: Donghyuk, don't say that I didn't remind you. If you get into trouble, go and find Miss Lalisa!

After receiving the coordinates from Hoseok, he waved his hand in a wide arc, signaling to the big group that he was leading to head deeper into the mountain.

"Donghyuk, we're not going to greet Miss Lalisa?" Jeno said as he turned to look at the thin, slender figure.

Donghyuk didn't reply, nor did he turn back. He fiddled a little with the compass in hand after about ten steps, before he replied, "No need, she knows we're here."

"She does?" Jeno couldn't help but turn his head again. "She seems to be concentrated on painting, and doesn't seem like she noticed her surroundings, or us."

"Are you nuts?" Donghyuk glanced at Jeno, looking at him like he was the dumbest idiot in the world. "Miss Lalisa has such powerful mental strength, everything within ten miles of her wouldn't escape her, and you still think she uses only her eyes to see us? Do you think she's weak like a chicken, like you?"

Jeno was silent after that, recalling how the cave had disappeared into thin air the other day. He shook his head, wiping the expression off his face, no longer feeling any doubt at Donghyuk's words.

Three minutes later, he finally realized what the other had said about him. "... Are you trying to pick a fight with me, Yi Donghyuk!"

Donghyuk: ... This complete idiot!

"Sister Lisa, those people are weird. They keep turning to look at you." Junghwan sat beside Jiji, staring hard at it while he spoke.

Lisa raised her head, looking at him. "Those people?"

Junghwan pointed to Donghyuk and the others who were leaving. "Those."

"How can you see them?" Lisa was surprised, Donghyuk and the others were at least two kilometers away from where they were seated, how could Junghwan see them? Was his eyesight so great?
