Field Marshal Chan let out a long sigh…
"She has always passed out whenever we have her vaccinated or she did a blood test. I'm surprised that she managed not to pass out before the needle even touched her skin because she usually does. So they draw blood out, do vaccination while she is unconscious. She hates the sight of needles," Field Marshal Chan explained to Jungkook while staring at Lisa.
"You can now go back, General Lim, I will stay here. She will wake up soon. Thank you for bringing her here," Field Marshal Chan said and Jungkook bid farewell to his superior before leaving.
Meanwhile, Torin waited outside.
"Bro, what happened? Anything wrong? Cielo said that Jeru returned so worked up and gloomy that she's even afraid to make a sound inside." Torin said but twitched his mouth, in the end, seeing Jungkook's blank expression.
He should stop because he would not receive any information from Jungkook in this state.
He looked at Jungkook every now and then as they walk back. Jungkook had a conflicted expression this time.
'Is it confusion?' Torin mused, trying to read Jungkook's expression at that moment.
"Bro, what is it? You feel worried? Confused? Conflicted?" Torin couldn't help and ended up asking simultaneously.
"Stop, Torin, and zip your mouth," Jungkook replied with a creased forehead.
"But, Bro, you behave weird! This is the first time you look so concerned like that. A cadet who saw you even get worried that you may trip because you were practically running towards the Medical Center! Was it because she's the Field Marshal's daughter or because…"
"Stop that Torin, or you will stay and monitor the male's training instead!" Jungkook hissed not letting Torin finish his sentence.
"Alright, Bro… Your wish is my command," murmured Torin with a crumpled face.
'It's just a simple question! Why can't he just say what he feels?' Torin complained silently.
...….
Meanwhile, Jeru had already cleared his thoughts and went to visit Lisa in her room. No one was inside when he went in. Field Marshal was probably called for urgent matters.
He sat beside Lisa and stared at her beautiful face. He felt conflicted… He liked Lisa and at the same time, he needed Lisa to survive. No one would fit him but her.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you go," Jeru whispered and held Lisa's hand.
That time Lisa moved and gently opened her eyes.
"How are you feeling?" Jeru asked.
Lisa's face crumpled as she looked at her hand in Jeru's hand, so Jeru quickly let it go.
"I'm sorry, I'm just worried and…"
"It's okay, Jeru, I'm feeling good now. Actually, it happens a lot whenever I see a needle pierce my skin. I'm shocked my reaction was delayed this time," Lisa said as she sat. She couldn't believe that she still fainted after she succeeded in controlling herself not to faint while Jungkook was around.
"Did you bring me here?" Lisa asked.
"Ahm.." Jeru mumbled, but then the door opened and Field Marshal Chan barged in with an arched brow.
"How can you undergo our training when you can't overcome just a simple prick of a needle?" Her father said in a serious tone.
Then he greeted Jeru casually. "You're here. Don't you have any training to attend to? By the way, I will need to meet you all tomorrow to discuss further planning for Country X. The situation there is getting worse. Jungkook might take over on the situation earlier as planned if General Jin doesn't succeed in five months."
