At the river shore, rocks and weeds are everywhere. The investigators spread out on a search but they haven't found where he has landed yet.

It's likely that he fell into the river.

Jungkook is in charge at the scene; he and a few investigators are immersed in their discussion about the situation while they walk around. Lalisa takes a look around by herself. She stops beside the river and spots Taehyung standing in the water by himself; his shoes and the end of his pants are wet while he is in a daze. Just as she is about to walk over, there's a tingling feeling in her heart; she looks around to confirm that Jungkook is not nearby before striding toward Taehyung. She pats his shoulder, "What are you thinking about?"

Taehyung stuffs both hands into his pockets. His face looks even more refined and handsome. He looks at her and answers, "I'm thinking about Kim Seokjin."

At the same time, a couple of tens of meters away behind a big tree, Jungkook and two other investigators are examining an area below the cliff. He looks up and catches Lalisa's subtle movement of looking left and right, but she doesn't see him behind the tree. And then she walks quickly over to Taehyung in a relaxed manner and they start to chat.

Seeing her smug and clever look makes Jungkook feel stuffed inside, but at the same time, he feels as if a feather is tickling his heart. He keeps quiet for a second and then lets out a laugh. Whenever he doesn't pay attention, this woman will pour jealousy into him, yet it softens his heart.

"Leader Jeon, should we go take a look over there?" an investigator asks.

Jungkook takes another glance at her from a far distance before turning his head and following the other investigators.

"What are you thinking about Kim Seokjin?" Lalisa asks.

Taehyung answers a little absentmindedly. "This man makes me feel antipathy. He makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lalisa is a bit surprised. He usually never pays attention to the outside. When it comes to other people and things, he has no interest to comment on them. Now that he is standing on the same side as the Black Shield Team, it makes her feel comfort nonetheless.

The distance between this aloof man and everybody else seems to be shrinking slowly.

"It's unfortunate that......" he murmurs.

Lalisa asks, "What's unfortunate?"

He frowns his eyebrows slightly, "Kim Seokjin took hydrogenated toxins before death and fell from such a high place into a rushing river. It's rare to have so much harm and wound on the body, so it's unfortunate that we can't find it."

Lalisa is speechless, "...... pfft. That's enough, Taehyung."

They're almost done with examining the area. Chatterbox rounds up everybody to the cars. Lalisa turns around and sees Jungkook and a few investigators walk out from the forest. She leaves Taehyung and runs over to meet up with Jungkook.

She makes it in front of him. Jungkook glances at her and then says to the other investigators, "You guys get into the car first." After everybody leaves, he rests his hand on her shoulder and walks toward the parking lot.

Their relationship is already an open secret. Everybody at the scene also knows them well so Lalisa doesn't mind too much and lets him walk while embracing her. It's just that she feels strange about it-he usually keeps his distance from her in public places. Why is he acting so affectionate today?

She turns her head and looks at the side of his face. They've been working all night; his hair is a little messy and his shirt underneath his jacket is a bit ruffled. His embrace is warm and comfortable though.
