THE match between Lisa and Jungkook ended with both of them covered in bruise and droplets of blood.

"Wow. It's been a long time since I've seen you worn out from a fight." Taehyung chuckled as he watches Jennie treating Jungkook's minor injuries while trying to get Chloe to sleep in his arms.

Jungkook hissed in pain, "I didn't know she was that good."

"Then you should've stopped when she headbutt you!" Jennie purposely pressed the cotton ball on Jungkook's lip injury rather hard.

"Ow! Noona!" Jungkook whined.

"I was surprised too. Her small figure can knock out a Goliath." Jin spoke, taking Chloe from Taehyung's arms and helped on babysitting.

Hoseok scoffed, "If I didn't stop the battle, you'd be bleeding worse now. Her combat skills are boss level assassination."

I furrowed my brows, "Are you underestimating me, hyung?"

"No, Jk. You're a combat skills are amazing too. Lisa just stands on a different category where you can't win." Hoseok spat back.

"Then who's better? You or her?" Jimin asked him.

"Well, in terms of speed and style, she's overlapping me. But my punches and reflexes are higher." Hoseok proudly said, making the other roll their eyes at his cockiness.

On the other hand, Bobby is busy wrapping a bandage around Lisa's knuckles.

"You didn't have to push yourself too hard, Boss." He worriedly said.

Lisa gave out a blow from her cigarette, "If I didn't, it's not just my hands you're gonna put bandage on. Jungkook's insanely strong."

"I heard Kim Taehyung's one hell of a fighter too." Bobby said.

"He has a family. We can't let him go on battle." Lisa shook her head.

Junhoe knocked on the door, "The office is ready."

Lisa nodded, "Good. Now gather everyone up. I'll catch up."

After the others from their boss, Junhoe called for Jungkook and the others. Jennie left in the room to take care of her daughter, with the assistance of some maids and with Jimin securing the two.

Jungkook arrived at Lisa's office together with his hyungs when they immediately noticed the huge portrait of Lisa and Eli when they were kids.

"They really are twins." Suga muttered.

Hoseok furrowed his brows at him, "Of course they are. What the hell crossed your mind thinking they aren't?"

"For a brief second, I thought Lisa and Eli were one person." Suga snorted.

"If it wasn't for their appearance, I'd really think Lisa and Eli are different people. Meeting the real Lisa was like meeting a whole new person." Taehyung said as Jin nodded in agreement.

"You must be talking about me."

They all jolted when Lisa stood by the door.

"It's the big ass portrait's fault." Taehyung pointed at Eli and Lisa's portrait.

Lisa nodded, "Well, about this sudden meeting, I just wanted to remind you about our objective here."

"Objective?" Jungkook furrowed his brows.

"Catching Jung Jaewon." Lisa answered.

Jungkook's breath hitched as soon as he heard his name. It's been so long ever since he heard that bastard's name.

It's making Jungkook want to rip him to the bones.

"So far, we haven't located him yet. We're a little short in man power but I can get us some materials." Lisa started.

"Short? There's already atleast eight or seven of us." Taehyung shrugged his shoulders, disagreeing.

Lisa shook her head, "You're not participating in the battle, Taehyung."

"What? Why not?" Taehyung scoffed.

"Well if Jennie and Chloe loses you, more families are gonna break. We can't afford that. Your presence as a father and a husband is more important." Lisa explained.

Jungkook clenched his fist, starting to get annoyed at Lisa talking about family and stuff. Flashes of Eli's memories and what could've been their future if Lisa showed up in time and saved all of them.

"I just called you here today to help with the plan." Lisa told Taehyung, which the guy nodded upon.

"Okay so since we don't have One's location yet I think we need to give-"

"Boss!" Chanwoo suddenly came inside of the office, holding his laptop.

They all turned their heads towards him, "What's the matter?" Lisa furrowed her brows.

"I found him! He's down an Island around Jeju! He's currently recruiting men for an ambush." Chanwoo bursted out.

"Ambush? How many?" Lisa asked.

Chanwoo sighed, "About a hundred."

Lisa bit her lips, "Shit. We have to hurry."

"What now?" Hoseok bit his nails.

Jungkook spoke, "Why don't we do the ambush first before they finish building an army?"

"No. It's an island. There's no blindspot and we don't have someone to use as a scapegoat." Lisa disagreed.

"Then do it at night when it's dark." Jungkook suggested.

Lisa shook her head, "That's too dangerous. We can just go underwater but that'll be too risky. Still, we have to be cautious about his securities. That's probably a family island."

Jungkook bit his lips in annoyance, "You said you'll get us materials. Then why don't we just head there and rain bullets down on them?"

"Make sense, Jungkook. I can't afford another bloodbath. You might die. We need at least 70% advantage." Lisa spat back.

Jungkoom stood up, "Fuck it, I can't do this whole planning thing with you. I'm so sick about your act of concerns towards us when you want this revenge to yourself all over again."

"What the fuck are you talking about!?" Lisa furrowed her brows at him.

Jin patted Jungkook's back to calm him down, "Kook, calm down and seat. Let's talk this out properly."

"No! Can't you see? She just bailed all of you out to use you for her own way of revenge towards One! When is your selfishness going to stop? You're getting greedy." Jungkook pointed his finger at Lisa.

Lisa sat there silently, looking down at her hands as Taehyung and the others tried to calm him down.

"I'm trying to help you, Jungkook. To help all of us. I just wanted a better option-"

"A better option? Yeah, that's so like you. You don't want to risk anything. You always wanted everything your way. Silently manipulating people, making people owe you so you can use them. But you never actually cared. Just like what you did to Eli!" Jungkook shouted at her.

"Hey!" Bobby glared at him.

"It's fine. Just... go get Song and pick up the materials at the market." Lisa stood up.

"Just admit it, Lisa. If I was stupid and a fucking weakling for Eli... you're a coward and selfish." Jungkook said and walked out of the office.

Lisa stood frozen. She couldn't bear to move a single muscle since all of her strength wer focusing on stopping her tears.

"I-I'm sorry about that guy. He's born a jerk. He just happened to grow a handsome appearance." Taehyung humorously apologized, trying to lighten up the mood.

Lisa nodded, "I totally understand." She forced a smile and left her own office.

She then found Jungkook on the terrace, holding the temple of his head.

She slowly approached him, wanting to have another chance of a proper conversation.

"I'm sorry." She muttered as soon as she stood behind him.

Jungkook didn't speak and just stood up properly.

"I know it hurts losing someone dear to you. I'm sorry that you had to feel that way after recovering. I'm sorry for being at fault for everything. I'm sorry for making you feel like I'm selfish-"

"You shouldn't have saved me." Jungkook cuts her off.

Lisa looked up to him, his back facing hers as the terrace gave them a better view of the lake.

"What?" Lisa furrowed her brows.

"You could've been less selfish if you let me join Eli. Sure, I wanted to give her justice. I wanted to kill One. I wanted to tie him up, stab him in places where he'll feel the most pain and make him bleed but... I don't want that greed like yours." Jungkook's voice cracked.

Lisa bit her lips to stop the desperate tears wanting to free itself.

"It's starting to... disgust me." Jungkook muttered, almost like a whisper.

And for the fourth time, he walked away and left Lisa again.
