Jungkook's embrace was warm with the faint scent of antiseptics.
And for the very first time, Lisa thought that it was simply wonderful to survive a calamity.
Still, Jungkook seemed to be little hurt he was panting lightly.
Lisa pulled away to look at him then: his pale, sweaty handsome face was just inches away.
She felt a little hurt inside then. "Where have you been?" She asked, a little upset.
Still, it was fortunate that he was alright.
Jungkook held her tightly. "In the hospital. I came to find you as soon as I woke up". He said a little hoarsely.
Lisa lowered her eyes a little unhappily. "I heard a woman saved you".
Though she sounded unruffled, thee was a bitterness in her words when Jungkook heard them.
He smiled teasingly. "Yes, it was a woman".
Lisa thought that he would be explaining things instead, and so pouted in irritation when he simply answered her question. "Yes, a woman, a very beautiful woman!" She pouted.
With those words, she struggled to get off from him.
Jungkook, however, merely carried her to bed and helplessly calmed her. "It's just some woman baby, I don't even know her".
Lisa clicked her tongue. Though she was having sweet thoughts inside, she kept her disdained look. "I didn't want to know".
"Then do you miss me?"
"Nope!" The replay was quick and direct.
Jungkook's gaze darkened and he sighed quietly. "Fine, I'm going".
He stood up, while Lisa kept her head low, seemingly without intention to have him stay.
That was when Jungkook winched in slight pain, and she promptly sprung up worriedly, "What happened? Does it hurt? Should I get a doctor?"
Lisa was very afraid. Having seen him faint right in front of her as if he had died, her eyes scanned Jungkook's whole body.
Still, she sensed that something wasn't right when Jungkook kept quiet. She slowly looked up, and found a pair of teasing eyes.
"You're toying with me again, Jeon Jungkook!"
Only knowing that she was played, Lisa threw her fist at him indignantly.
Jungkook quickly caught her hand and pulled her into his arms. "I was wrong", he said sweetly.
How quickly he apologized! Bang Chan would have laughed until his front teeth fell off.
Lisa struggled, trying to escape his arms, puffing her cheeks while red circles appeared around her eyes.
This stinking man! Pig!
They've only just reunited and he teased her! So shameless!
"I missed you". Jungkook voice suddenly turned tender and quiet. "So, so much...."
Lisa paused immediately and stared at him blankly.
"Silly man. How could you not care about your own life in the fire? Don't do that ever again".
Lisa was about explain things when Jungkook suddenly furrowed his brow. "My head, it hurts". He sounded upset.
"Should I call the doctor?" Lisa whispered.
He shook his head, putting his nose to hers and enticingly said, "I just need your kiss".
The moment those words left his mouth and without giving her a chance to react, his urgent but gentle kiss struck.
Lisa was in a daze. Her head went blank and her breaths quickened, unsure where to put her hands.
One night apart was no different from a year not seeing him. It was as if his tenderness towards her before had all vanished in a puff of smoke and they were now newly acquainted, and she was now a naive young girl caught in her raw, inexperienced first love.

Unbeknownst to them, the door to the room was opened.
Cha Eunwoo froze when he saw their intimate moment, and after a few beats quietly turned and closed the door.
Meanwhile, his assistant ran up to him urgent. "Oh, dear me! Master, why are you running off_____"
"Don't say a word" Eunwoo calmly cut him short buy there was something in his voice that allowed no refusal.
"What is it? Master?"
Eunwoo gently closed his eyes and shook his head wile seething. "Don't....say a word........."
The assistant watched helplessly as he limped off, brushing past him.
At the moment, Eunwoo was a doll. It was as if he had lost his soul, his strength, and vigor and became a walking corpse.
The face beneath the silver hair was even paler, and his eyes were hollow as he scanned his surroundings dispassionately.
Everything had turned gray.
Lisa did not know that his infected flesh had stuck on to the bandages when ointment was applied on his body, and the agony when it was tearing off ever so directly.
She would never now how he almost fainted after having that flesh torn off his back.
But now, the pain in his heart was a greater torment than being skinned alive.

Lisa's face was red when Jungkook let go of her, and he lovingly pinched the tip of her nose.
Embarrassed, she bite her lower lips. "Well....where else does it hurt? Should I get a doctor now?"
After all, getting a doctor meant that they won't be alone and she did not have to feel so embarrassed.
But the moment those words escape her lips, Jungkook's smile immediately turned to a face of utter agony, and he meekly leaned his head on her shoulder, "It hurts everywhere my head, my hand, my feet...."
Lisa wanted to shove him off when she caught sight of the dried blood on the back of his hand. Her eyes immediately became wet even as her heart ached, and she said tenderly, "I'll call the doctor for you".
Jungkook smiled smugly before shaking his head in grief. "I'm fine. I'm just worried that you're hurt".
Lisa frowned. "Jungkook, you are already so hurt. How could you worry about me!?"
She felt both annoyed and feeble.
This stinking man!
Was his own life worthless just because he found her important?
Still, she did not expect that was the reaction Jungkook wanted.
After she pressed the buzzer, the doctor came in and cleaned Jungkook's wounds before checking both of their conditions, and left when there were no serious problems found.
Jungkook himself had taken off his bandage over his head before coming to meet her: it was just a minor scratch.
He was afraid of her excessively worrying over himself.
He now generally understood this little woman who says one thing but acted in a completely different manner.
"Where is your phone, Jungkook? I want to give our son a call. I'm afraid that he is worried about us".
"I called him before I came".
****
In the first place, Jungkook would never have called Soobin under any circumstances, but he also knew that Lisa would definitely called the boy.
Therefore, he quickly called up the little one beforehand, telling him what happened.
The boy was so frightened he cried demanding to see Lisa but there was no way Jungkook would allow the brat to disturb their perfect, two-person world. Hence, he refused the little one cruelly by using the excuse of getting him a sister.
"What did he say?" Lisa straightened hopefully.
Jungkook, however, lied flatly. "He told you to rest well. He is busy gaming away at Bang Chan's home, and won't come to see you".
Immediately, Lisa leaned back like a deflated balloon, clenching her fist and gritting her teeth indignantly. "That little white-eyed wolf! To think I raised him for four years!"
Jungkook nodded in agreement and snuggled up to her. "That' why I keep saying that I'm the best for you in this world Lili".
