Everyone was very happy tonight, except for Hoseok. Lalisa had drunk a lot of liquor and was zonked out. Jennie was a bit drunk and rushed to sing a song on the stage. Sitting on the sofa and cupping her chin in her hand, Lalisa watched Jennie sing ‘My Darling’ on the stage.

Having a tender voice, she was suitable to sing this folksy song. Lalisa liked this song a lot, even though it had been blacklisted years ago by her. Yes, Jungkook had introduced this song to her.

She used to enjoy listening to Jungkook singing this song for her with his deep yet mellow voice. Lalisa shook the glass in her hand and listened to her soft voice, but what was on her mind was the deep, cello-like voice of another person singing her favorite lyrics: My preference for you is too blatant, unrestrained, wilful and lawless.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded and Lalisa said, “It sounds so beautiful. I’d like to sing it too.”

Jennie picked the song for her with a smile and handed her the microphone. Lalisa took it over and the song began. She sat on the stool with her eyes closed, feeling every word of the lyrics. Every single word that left her mouth carried a strong feeling.

Mino narrowed his eyes at Lalisa sitting on the stool, wondering, “Why is this woman just like a riddle? She is only twenty-three years old and comes from the countryside, yet I always feel she has plenty of stories to tell.”

Sitting on the sofa, Jennie smiled, poured herself a glass of liquor and looked at Lalisa who was singing the song with her eyes closed. Although the rhythm of the song was hard to master, and its lyrics were not very easy to remember, she sang it well. Jennie couldn’t help exclaiming, “It sounds so nice. I love her singing.”

Yoongi smiled and looked straight at Lalisa without speaking.

Taehyung and Jimin were also very proud of their little fairy sister.

When Lalisa came to the part “My preference for you is too blatant, unrestrained, wilful and lawless,” she put all her emotions into this song as if she were singing for Jungkook. Just then, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and the people in the private room all turned their heads only to see a few people standing at the door. Minhyuk stood up with a frown and was about to speak when a stunningly handsome face appeared before their eyes.

Stunned, the crowd fell silent.

Clatter… fizz… buzz… The microphone fell to the floor making static noises.

Lalisa stared blankly ahead at the sudden appearance of the man who had just been on her mind, and tears began to gush out of her eyes.

Jungkook listened to the familiar yet strange melody of the song, which he hadn’t listened to for a long time because his heart would feel like it were going to break every time he did so.

Taehyung was the first to react and got up to greet Jungkook. “When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Jungkook looked around at the crowd with a straight face before resting his eyes on Lalisa, who was still standing on the stage and looking at a loss. Then he pushed aside Taehyung who was standing in front of him and walked towards Lalisa step by step.

Everyone was surprised at this and their eyes followed Jungkook.

Taehyung didn’t know how to react, while Yoongi frowned. He had noticed how surprised and bewildered Lili was when she saw Jungkook. The microphone slipping from her hand revealed her real emotions.

Moreover, Jungkook was looking very dangerous right now.

Did they know each other?

Jungkook stopped in front of Lalisa and looked deeply at her face covered in tears. Then he suddenly grabbed her hand and walked towards the outside. Lalisa, who hadn’t fully recovered, almost fell down upon being yanked over by him. Jungkook’s action instantly angered Yoongi; he lunged to his feet, reached out to stop Jungkook and said coldly, “Let her go!”
