*Third Person's POV*

Lisa woke up in a moving car slightly groaning at the pain and dizziness she felt. She was tied up in the back seat of the car. She couldn't see where it was moving, but she saw Liam constantly trying to reach someone on the phone. Maybe he couldn't get the one through, so he was frustrated. He was mumbling some curse words to himself that he didn't even notice her waking up. Maybe the sedative wasn't that strong, after all.

Luckily, her legs weren't tied. She slowly sat straight, and he was so engrossed in reaching out to that particular someone that he didn't notice her. The gear handle was right in front of her, and he had one of his hands on it, while his face was fixed on the screen rather than the rear mirror or road.

It might have been a stupid idea, but Lisa couldn't think of anything else. She kicked his hand, startling him, and without any delay, she nudged him with her shoulder. The instant attack took him by surprise, making him lose control of the vehicle. In an attempt to not get hit by another car, he turned the steering, causing the car to crash into a tree and stop. Liam hit his head on the steering and passed out while Lisa managed to keep her consciousness with a little some cuts. The front glass was completely broken. She carefully picked up a piece and cut her ropes. Her long hands flexed wonderfully.

Meanwhile, the quad was having an intense discussion while sipping their respective drinks. They were happy that Lilli was finally waking up but conflicted because of what would happen after. Everyone in the family was now happy, and another change would cause utter chaos. And the most affected one would be Jennie. She was very much in love with Lilli, as she believed, and she was sensitive. Also, they all were aware of the fact that Lisa was in love with Jennie, but it was an elephant in the room. The group fell into silence after some time, and the only sound heard was the constant sighs that fell from their lips, once in a while.

That's when Dal-gun's phone rang.

"Lisa?" He called, answering the device.

The group watched his face turning pale and then red in a few seconds. They knew something was wrong. The trio bid their goodbyes to Dr. Baek, before leaving for the location, Lisa mentioned.

"Lisa, what happened?" Minnie asked, worried, as soon as she got out of the car, seeing the girl in cuts.

"I know who tried to kill Lilli."

"Who?" Dal-gun asked. Though he was worried about Lisa, he was doing a good job of hiding it.

"Daniel Kim."

"I knew it'd have been that jerk." He mumbled in frustration.

"But how do you know, Lisa?" The tall man with narrow eyes asked.

"Because his accomplice is with me." Lisa said as she opened the back door of the car, which was earlier crashed into the tree, to reveal Liam Kim.

"You bastard." Dal-gun yelled and was inching to hit him. It took Tae-woong's all strength to stop him.

"How could you, Liam?" Minnie asked in disbelief as Lisa pulled the latter out of the car.

"She was your sister. How could you do this to her?" Tae-woong asked.

"Has she ever felt that way?" Liam countered, pointing at Lisa. "Have you ever shown me any sisterly love? Why me? Do you love anyone else besides the company and yourself?" He huffed, and everyone looked at him in disbelief. "You stole the woman I loved from me. I thought it would be okay since Jennie was also into girls. But you never once treated her nicely. Then you stole the company that should have belonged to me. Everyone compares me to you, and I know you also see me as a good-for-nothing. That's why I decided to get rid of you and I don't have any regret."

*SLAP*

As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt a burning sensation on his cheeks. Lisa's hand made a pretty well mark there.

"You are an idiot, Liam." She spoke. " And I am not Lilli."

"What?"

"My name is Lisa. Your sister is in a coma."

"Fuck!" He mumbled. "That was the reason for the sudden change!"

Lisa nodded. "What do you know about your sister, Liam?" He stared at Lisa questioningly. "Before you blame her, tell me, have you ever tried to understand her?" He wordlessly looked away. "You never tried to understand your sister. No one ever did. It's not that she doesn't love you all. She just doesn't know how to express it. Because she lacked affection since childhood." Disgust for the guy was evident in Lisa's voice. "Of course, she loves the company because it was your father's sweat and hard work, but not as much as she loves her family. And let me tell you, she never compared you to her. She had always wanted you to be just more professional and responsible." Liam's head hung low as he processed Lisa's words. "She was going to entrust you with the branch in New Zealand since you have always wanted to live there."

"What?" He couldn't believe it.

"Don't believe me. Ask Minnie." Liam turned his head, and the said girl nodded, hatred for the guy present in her eyes.

"And believe me when I say this, Lilli does love Jennie." Lisa approached the guy and placed her hands on his shoulder. "Lilli loves and trusts you so much, Liam. She wants nothing but happiness for you. No matter what, she would always want to protect you because you are her younger brother. Maybe just by a few minutes, but that doesn't change anything." Tears swell up in his eyes. He was starting to regret everything.

"And who were you doing all this for? Daniel? What did he offer? The company? Did you really think that he'd give you the company after going through all this?" Lisa paused. "And do you honestly believe he wanted to kill Lilli just because of the company?"

Liam raised his head from the ground and stared at Lisa.

"He wants to get rid of Lilli because she's a threat to him. Do you know who he really is? He's a criminal, and Lilli has the evidence for all his notorious actions. That's why he wants her gone. If something did has happened to her, I am sure he would have put the blame on you and escaped."

Everything was getting clearer to Liam. He wanted to punch himself. The other three present there didn't speak. They also wanted to punch him, but Liam was starting to break down.

"That's why... that's why he... needed... the code." He whispered to himself, but Lisa was able to catch it.

"What code?" He didn't respond. She grabbed him by the collar. "I said what code, Liam."

"Code-- the code to her-- her secret room."

"Did you give it to him?" Lisa asked, fear creeping onto her face. Her nodded. "Fuck!" She yelled. "Oppa, we need to go."

God! No, please. Don't let it happen. That was the only prayer everyone in the car had in their mind, including Liam, who realized his sister must have been there the whole time.
