Two days had passed and there were still no news from Jungkook. He was not reachable either. And as usual, her father would confirm that her husband was safe.
Lisa killed her time by working really hard at work. If she was not at the office; doing research on news items, reviewing reports and attending meetings, she would be out doing some field works; live-reporting from the scene as well as digging out news and information. She had been very busy that she didn't notice time passing by.
Right now, she was at an area where a building had caught fire. As usual before she did any reporting, she would first get all of the critical information on the story - the who, what, where, when, why and how. The situation was quite dire right now. Many people were at the scene, feeling distressed, especially the victims.
She stood transfixed as she witnessed a mother cry out in panic, calling out her son's name who was still inside the burning building. Lisa tried her very best to keep her cool. As soon as she had gathered enough information and with the approval from headquarters, she reported live from the scene.
She reported the current situation… She couldn't help but feel empathy for the relatives and families of the victims, who were still waiting anxiously outside for their loved ones to be rescued. She bit her lip as she murmured a silent prayer, 'Please always keep my husband safe.'
She could identify with them and understand their feelings because she, too, was just like them. She was always worried for Jungkook's safety. She was always hoping and praying that he would come home safely, and not be hurt in the middle of his mission. Because nothing could foretell what would happen during this sort of operation, especially when it took place in the ruthless and barbarous criminal underworld where people would kill without blinking an eye.

Lisa went home late and went directly to Jungkook's unit. She stopped briefly at Torin's door and let out a smile. Lyra had asked for her advice on her relationship with Torin two days ago, and she was really happy to hear that the two had finally confessed their feelings to each other.
Lyra had messaged her earlier to inform her that she would be having a work dinner with colleagues, so Lisa decided to have her dinner outside before she went home.
She sighed as she entered Jungkook's unit. She would often sleep there because that was the only place where she would feel comforted and not alone, as she would still be able to smell his scent on his bed.
Her eyes rounded with surprise when she saw Jungkook at the kitchen cooking. 'Oh hell, am I hallucinating now?' she thought to herself as she blinked several times to make sure he wouldn't disappear.
Jungkook smiled at her and said, "It looks like you still can't tell dreams from reality."
He opened his arms wide as he saw Lisa throw her bag on the floor in haste. She ran towards him and jumped at him, wrapping her legs around his waist and encircling her arms on his neck. He laughed as he placed his two hands on her buttocks to support her.
"Why didn't you call me? When did you arrive? Did you wait long?" she bombarded him with questions.
"Hmm I arrived just twenty minutes ago. I called you but your phone was not reachable. So I decided to just come here to wash up and cook dinner. Ohh, I did ask your office, but they said you were out..." he answered.
"Ohh, my phone probably ran out of battery… I missed you!" Lisa burst out almost crying as she hugged him tightly. Then she gently moved her head inches away from him to have a better look at her handsome and lovable husband.
"You look haggard! What's this? Look at your dark circles. Don't tell me you haven't slept at all?" Lisa noted with a creased forehead. Jungkook really had a worn-out look and she was not pleased with it.
