Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 74: Giving Up Love for the Rest of Life Part 2

In the boundless night, the road is dark with not a single street lamp. Lisa leans back on her seat for a while before saying in a raspy voice, "Could it be someone related to the case in the past?"

Jungkook keeps quiet for a moment and then answers, "I will find the person."

Lisa turns her head to look at him.

He has a ruthless expression on his face.

His back is against the chair. There's a bit of dirt on his jacket and his shirt collar is slightly open. He has only one hand on the wheel with his eyes looking ahead.

Lisa's heart feels a pinch of pain for a second.

It's been a long time since she has seen him like this. The last time he has been this way must have been when they first met in Jiangcheng; when he was still searching endlessly for her. That was the only time when he was like this.

She thinks for a minute and changes the subject, "Taeyong......."

Jungkook interrupts right after she says the first two characters, "You don't need to say anymore. I know all of it. The cameras were installed by Taeyong. The sleeping medicine was also from him. Chen has been stalking him multiple times, so it must have caught his attention and he started to monitor and stalk Chen back. He may have also taken part in torturing the victims without Chen knowing. It's just that he wasn't the one who delivered the final stabbing. He also didn't plot out the plan, which is why he was able to pass the lie detector test. I know everything. I've already requested an arrest order and search warrant. You don't need to speak." Lisa is stunned slightly. She lets out a soft "Mm."

The car returns to silence.

Lisa truly feels her heart aching tremendously seeing him like this. She speaks softly again. "Jungkook, please don't be like this. "

Jungkook doesn't respond. His eyes are looking out the windshield.

Lisa stops talking.

After a while, she feels the car slowing down until it stops on the side of the road. And beside the road is a steep hillside.

Lisa turns around and looks at him in surprise. But she sees him still looking straight to the front and unsure of what he's thinking. Everywhere around them is dark and quiet, only they are sitting still in the car.

And then he takes off his seatbelt, leans over and pulls her into his embrace. He doesn't dare to use too much force. His hand is only grabbing her waist lightly just to let her face lean against his chest.

Lisa's heart softens as she sniffs his scent and says softly. "Don't be unhappy. Look, I'm completely fine. "

He keeps quiet for a moment and says, "If anything happened to you, I would be driving the car down this hill right now, "

He speaks in a calm voice but it makes Lisa's heart shiver.

Drive down.

He means the steep hill beside the road.

She listens to his heart beating and can't find any words to say. The attack happened too suddenly. It was more shocking than frightening.

Now that she survived it, her mind is still going blank. She hasn't been thinking how scary it was. Instead, she swears that she will find this enemy!

But now that she hears Jungkook's words, the feeling of fright rushes into her heart. And the moment this emotion rises, it is like a tidal wave flooding and rippling in her heart.
