Without thinking, Rosè Jang slammed on the brakes the second she saw Park Jimin.

The automobiles behind her were all forced to stop, and the street was soon congested for a long distance after a few minutes.

But Rosè a Jang didn't notice, for she was staring at Park Jimin in the rearview mirror without blinking.

He was very good-looking, with an attractive and elegant air. Although he had lowered his head slightly and only half of his head could be seen, everyone would turn their head to look at him when they passed by.

However, he seemed not to have noticed that. He took out a cigar and put it between his lips silently, lighting the cigar with one hand and blocking the wind with the other.

He kept standing in the same position. If he hadn't raised his hand to put the cigar into his mouth from time to time, Rosè Jang would have thought he was a statue there.

When the cigar between his fingers was almost finished, he lifted his head slightly and looked at the billboard in front of him that was a publicity photo of a war TV series. The leading role was wearing a military uniform, holding a dirty gun, and groveling on the ground.

He suddenly paused in the middle of putting the cigar to his mouth, gazing at the photo on the billboard in a daze, as if he had been hit at certain acupoints.

The photo on the billboard would change every couple of minutes, but when the publicity photo of the TV series turned into an advertising picture of green tea, he remained staring at it dully.

His look now reminded Rose Jang of his stunned expression when Lee Taemin had ran to him and called him Captain Park, and his subtle moves of touching the gun with his fingers when he had returned the gun to Lee Taemin.

Although he didn't say anything or show any emotion, he must have been admiring the police uniform on Lee Taemin and been unwilling to return the gun Lee Taemin gave him.

So when he said that 'Master Park' sounded better than 'Captain Park' in a seemingly relaxing tone, actually he must have been bleeding, regretting, and cherishing the memory of the past in his heart?

Rosè Jang suddenly felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

She didn't sober up until someone got out of one of the automobiles behind her and knocked on her window. She kept saying sorry to the others, then drove slowly to the roadside under the swears and complaints. When she looked in the rearview mirror for Park Jimin after parking her car, she found he was no longer there.

Rosè Jang frowned and rolled the window down to look for him. After a while, she finally found him, walking slowly to a pub street.

He's alone... and he looks to be in a pretty bad mood...

Rosè Jang looked in the direction of home. When she remembered what Lee Taemin had told her, a sharp pain stuck in the left of her chest. She turned the steering wheel and followed Park Jimin.

It was still early, so the pub street was empty with no cars on it. Rosè Jang was afraid to be seen by Park Jimin, so she slowed down the speed deliberately. She didn't increase the speed to follow him up until she saw him walking into a pub named MISS.

She parked the car at the door of the pub, then got out after taking her glasses and scarf off.

Few people were there, and the band hadn't arrived. The music wasn't loud and noisy dancing music, but a soft love song that wasn't annoying and brought a good atmosphere.

Rosè Jang saw Park Jimin when she walked in.

She was worried he would find out she had followed him. She was also afraid of him thinking that she was bothering him again and getting mad at her. She immediately stopped the waitress who was leading her to a table near Park Jimin's and asked for a table in the corner away from him.
