Despite the prosecutor's internal investigation, Jungkook's planned business trip to a foreign company would still take place. Fortunately, there were no problems.

Although he was not a law-abiding person, there were still many ways to apply the rules of the law. Jeon Jungkook was not a fool who would give excuses to his opponent and make himself a lawbreaker.

Right now, the one who should feel tense in this situation was not him. If Jungkook was not in this place, those who were afraid would definitely move again.

Jungkook knew exactly who their spearheads were pointing at right now, so he was now ready to face the attack that was waiting for him. He was just waiting for the right time now. Perhaps with his business trip this time, the time he has been waiting for would be closer.

Then, there was the matter of his mother, who he thought was banished by his father and dumped her. When the ring was combined with that past story, there must be something else.

The reason for his parents' divorce that was reported in the newspaper back then was because of his mother's desire and dream to perform on stage. Only now did Jungkook understand the true meaning of the conversation he heard that night.

There must always be at least one person who knows the truth. Just as Lisa was looking for her uncle, Jungkook must also remember someone who could be a witness in this matter.

The person who stopped Jungkook's busy and urgent movements and heart was none other than Shin Hee. More precisely a phone call from Shin Hee.

Shin Hee. A person that Jungkook could not just ignore. Then, the person he can't just ignore. He must immediately settle his feelings and that woman's feelings.

The restaurant located on the outskirts of the Gangnam area had a modern-style interior with large windows that showed the view of Seoul at night. That's why Shin Hee liked this place so much and often came here with Jungkook. However, this time she came with Lisa.

Lisa who was suddenly invited to that place just looked at Shin Hee in confusion. She had already said that it was not good to measure a person's sincerity and also said that her family rules prohibited her from betting.

However, Shin Hee didn't seem to care about any of that. For her, everyone around her had to obey and follow her wishes.

"Shin Hee ssi."

"I told you, call me Unnie."

"Okay, Unnie. I'll be going home now."

As soon as Lisa was about to stand up, Shin Hee immediately held her hand.

"Jungkook will be here soon. Well, if he doesn't come, then you won. Don't you want to check it out in person?"

"No."

Lisa shook her head confidently. She wasn't sure she could bear to see Jungkook coming toward Shin Hee. But she also didn't want to hope that Shin Hee would remain alone in this place.

From the beginning, testing each other's love feelings was something unfair and untrue.

"I, I'm actually very scared right now. But if I don't prove it right now, I don't think I'll be able to end this. Maybe you feel that way too. Avoiding something I'm afraid of is not in my nature at all."

"Unnie's words are true. I feel scared too. However, even if I could endure that fear, I can't seem to endure that."

Lisa, who couldn't finish her sentence, looked at Shin Hee straight on. Lisa couldn't bear to see the man's backside. That's why, she showed her own heartache.
