"That's so satisfying!" Lisa sat back, seemingly happy with the food.

"What did you eat at home?"

"Ramyeon,"

She lied. She lied about cooking earlier. She lied to him. It's not at all surprising but Jungkook's not sure how to respond to the fact. It's only a second before she noticed the look on his face and she leans forward cautiously.

"I lied. I'm sorry. I just...I wasn't sure if I can trust you earlier, but after coffee I think you're pretty cool to hang out with -" She muttered all too fast.

So it's true. She did think he'd do something bad to her. Does he look like a bad guy? You know you do –

"I'm sorry...I just...I was scared - I had bad experiences when it comes to picking guys before,"

Picking guys? Wait – does that mean she picked me? It's so confusing – what should I do? What should I say? What kind of 'bad experiences' – how many 'bad experiences' are we talking about here?? So if she picked me, I'll be one of those bad experiences too. Of course you will – you'll be the worst -

"Please say something..."

Say what? What does she want me to say? Thank you for picking me?!

Jungkook clears his throat before muttering, "I'll get the bill,"

...

There are a lot of noises in his head and he finds himself nauseated by it. Questions...all that leads to the same answer. He wasn't supposed to find her. It was just a lucky night...a once-in-a-blue-moon coincidence. He should be thankful and move on –

"Jungkook..." Her small voice calls out for the second time since they left the restaurant.

"Yes," Jungkook kept his gaze up front. He has a purpose. His walk with her will only be as far as where he met her just now. Another 100 meters away...almost there...

It's a good thing she noticed how he kept his distance and didn't say anything more. It's not that he's mad at her, he's just at loss with himself. He should've never showed up. It was a mistake, just like what his subconscious said earlier!

He will cancel the agreement with the landlord. He will move to a different location – somewhere far from here so he'll never bump into her again. He'll go back to how it used to be...being invisible. That's what he's good at anyways.

Jungkook stops right in front of the waffle stall where they'd met earlier. He braves himself to look at the girl again. One more time...one last time...

Lisa is looking down to her knotted fingers, standing in front of him.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean –"

Somehow it hurts him to see her looking so defeated like this. "It's okay, don't worry bout it. Walk safe," 

She looks around warily before fixing her eyes on him. "Um...I'd appreciate it if we can go somewhere...to talk?"

Jungkook can't help his confused stare. Okay...now what? I had a mission! But then...I don't wanna say no.

"Please?"

"W-where?"

"Anywhere...I don't mind,"

"But you're scared –"

"Not anymore...please?"

...

"Are you sure you're up for this?" He asked as she secured her palms on his shoulders.

"I trust you,"

His heart does a double-leap when he heard it. She trusts me! She's the first person to ever say that to me! With courage, he took both hands and wraps them around his waist. The warmth of her body presses on his back, giving him a slight shudder even when they're separated by the thick-layered clothing.

...

"Woahh..." She gasped, taking off the helmet but not her eyes at the view displayed before them. The cliff isn't a high one, but it has a perfect view of the city lights. "It's so beautiful! How did you find this place?"

Job #24: Drug exchange back in 2012. It was quite challenging, since it's on high grounds. There weren't any buildings around for a sniper to hide. He had to position himself from the other cliff on the left to find the clear view of his target. A 27 year-old. Still very young to be involved with big-time druglords...still very young to die...

"I just passed by one day. Been here since. I've never seen anyone here...just passing cars..."

He purposely left a smirk before taking the helmet off her hand.

"So lucky..." She seems to be in her own thoughts. Wonder what it is... "Wait – you're not gonna push me off or anything right?"

Jungkook had to laugh. She's so brave to be asking that, really.

"Do I really look like a killer?"

"No...but then most killers never looked like one," Smart.

"Well I guess you're just gonna have to wait and see. You said you weren't scared," He took a seat at the edge and looks up to her. She hesitated at first but squared up her shoulders and sat beside him.

Brave girl...
