Monkey made reservations at a private restaurant in the West end of the city. The restaurant is by the lakeside, and its entrance is hidden by trees. Looking at it on the outside, one would think that it's somebody's mansion.

Lalisa walks inside with her arm wrapped around Jungkook's. She looks up at the lights on the ceiling and says in awe, "This place is beautiful."

Jungkook says with an indifferent expression on his face and both hands in his pockets, "I'll bring you to places that are even more beautiful in the future, so don't get dizzy now."

Lalisa smiles.

The server guides them to the private room. The decor of the room is even more elegant and eye-capturing decorated in ancient period style. Two men in casual clothes walk out from the room at the same time. They seem a year or two younger than Jungkook and their faces are carrying a smile.

"Yo! Young Master Jeon is here."

"I can finally see Big Brother Jeon today!"

These two men are part of the circle, but Jungkook wasn't very close to them in the past. They must have been invited by Monkey to make the gathering lively. Jungkook smiles and greets them.

They also notice Lalisa and grin, "Big Brother, this must be your girlfriend, right?"

"Holy, Big Brother Jeon sure is a big brother. Your girlfriend is just too beautiful!"

Lalisa giggles cheerfully, "Not at all, not at all." Jungkook accepts the cigarette that they give him but doesn't light it. Instead, he slips it behind his ear, glances at her and answers, "Mm, she has always been this beautiful."

The two men don't catch the underlying meaning of his words. They lead them inside politely.

They walk past the screen, through the beaded curtain and see a pearwood round table big enough for ten people. It's still empty; only sets of delicate utensils and a pot of tea is on it. And on top of the tatami by the window are two men sitting. Their faces show gentle smiles as they chat quietly. They immediately stand up hearing the noise and look this way.

A few of them greet each other. Jungkook keeps quiet. Lalisa is standing beside him while giving the two men a once-over.

One of them is wearing a black suit and the other is wearing a casual jacket; they're exquisitely and delicately dressed. They're around the same age as Jungkook. Their eyes fall onto Jungkook and seem to carry many emotions.

"Kook."

"Kook."

They both say.

And then their eyes fall onto Lalisa.

Lalisa doesn't know how to describe their expressions. They look as if they've just seen a ghost; completely dumbstruck. Their faces change and are speechless.

Lalisa feels her heart drop.

Probably because their expressions are too strange, so the others are also a bit stunned. For a moment, the extravagant room becomes completely silent.

Lalisa stares at them, trying to read their expressions. And then somebody grabs her hand suddenly.

It's Jungkook.

His face is expressionless, and his pupils are pitch black like a strong rock at the bottom of the ocean. He grabs her waist and walks to Yoongi and Monkey.

"Long time no see. These are my buddies, Yoongi and Monkey," his voice says calmly, "This is my girlfriend.......Lisa."

( A second reminder. When I use Lalisa it refers to Leeah and when I say just Lisa its the Lisa you've been reading since the beginning.)
