Lisa could only watch as the van drove off, only to be caught by Jungkook when she tried to give chase.

"Quick, get to your car and chase them!" Lisa was stamping her feet indignantly how could he be so calm!?

The witness they went through so much trouble to find was gone now!

"Relax" Jungkook calmly replied. "She is not getting away"

Lisa had more to say, but she also felt that she was bleeding more now. She could not help but hold her waist and gasp in discomfort.

Jungkook simply scooped her up, and grinned at her unhappy face. "Storms here are terrifying, so you might get scared. Let's find a place to rest, and I promise we'll find her. Alright?"

At the sight of his smiling face, Lisa could only simply live with how annoyed she was. Unable to stay unreasonable with him sweet-talking her like that, she nodded tamely.

As they drove back into the city, the downpour, coupled with the sea winds and fog became even wilder.

The car wiper worked incessantly, whereas lightning and thunder split the heavens deafeningly.

It was suddenly dark and suddenly bright inside the car as the windshield was utterly drenched in rain, smudging it with splashes and very much blurring it.

It was too dangerous to drive in this weather Jungkook's brow had knitted together while Lisa kept her eyes on the GPS indicator of a nearby hotel on the map, gesturing for him to stop at a car park.

She sighed in disappointment. "We could only stay here. I'm worried something would happen if we go any further"

Jungkook looked at her as he unfastened his seatbelt. "Wait for me"

Before she could say a word, Jungkook had taken a jacket from the backseat and got out of the car, dashed around it and opened Lisa's door to carry her down.

It had been just a moment, but there was now basically a river outside the main doors of the hotel

Nonetheless, Lisa was completely clean aside from being a little were when Jungkook put her down in the lobby.

On the other hand, Jungkook's clothes were completely soaked through in no time at all.

His short sleeves were sticking to his arm and his black hair was dripping, with droplets flowing down along his long nose and onto his thin lips.

How lethal. So ragged, yet so handsome_the picture of a beautiful man walking out of a shower.

Lisa felt moved to tears: He had carried her so that she won't get her shoes dirty, and waded through the piling rainwater.

He even gave her his jacket, and she could feel her heart swelling in utter fulfillment.

****

The hotel only had one room left: a luxury life

Lisa was a little resistant to that idea, but having seen that Jungkook had made a payment and the desk receptionist cast envious looks at her, she braced herself and followed him into the elevator.

Swiping the car outside and entering their room, Lisa heated up the bath and only remembered then that their luggage was still in the car.

Jungkook was drying his hair with a towel. Noticing her weird look, he asked, "What is it?"

"Jungkook....we didn't bring in our luggage....."

"Okay, I'll go get it"

Jungkook had just reached out to pinch her little face, but suddenly realizing that his body was a little cold, he quickly pulled back, afraid that she would get a cold.
