Chapter 13 : The Mount Hallasan Immortal Couple Temple

___________________________________

The scenery on the island was beautiful, and there were many scenic spots. However, after walking around, it was already dusk.

At night, there was a barbeque party on the beach. Jimin had even called over the band performing for the opening tomorrow and specially arranged a Beach Music Festival to liven things up.

Taehyung was so upset with Jeon Jungkook that he decided to go surfing on a yacht.

Hana wanted to go to the beach to pick up shells, so Jungkook accompanied her.

The lively Music Festival was left with only Lisa as an audience.

She sat there for a while, bored, before getting up and going to look for her brother.

Jimin was standing outside the balcony, making a call. He didn't even notice that Lisa had entered.

"I called him last time to remind him, but he didn't seem to remember. He's still in cahoots with the Oh family at this point."

Jimin's voice was a little cold. "Aren't they holding a press conference at the Longxing building tomorrow? Contact the building's Management Committee and teach them a lesson. Let them know their limits."

After Jimin hung up the phone, Lisa walked over, "Oppa, who will you teach a lesson to?"

Jimin laughed without changing his expression. "Oh, it's just a few people who don't care about the Park family. Lisa, you don't need to worry too much about the business world."

"Oppa, don't bully them too much. Who knows what could happen? We might even work with them in the future."

Lisa was truly worried.

"I know. Don't worry; Oppa has a plan."

Jimin rubbed Lisa's head, "Why aren't you playing at the beach? Did we not arrange enough events? Or did Jeon Jungkook make you angry?"

Lisa shook her head. "No, none of those happened. I just came to see you."

"Then let's have dinner together."

As Jimin spoke, he called the hotel's restaurant and asked for food to be sent over. Additionally, he requested for ice cream to be added.

The hotel sent dinner over quickly. Jimin pushed the documents on the table to the side and laid out the food, "I've been swamped these two days. When the opening of Jeju Island ends tomorrow, I'll play with you."

Lisa wasn't hungry, so she only ate the ice cream.

She'd always been greedy for cold treats. Unknowingly, she'd even eaten Jimin's portion.

After the two of them chatted, Lisa saw that her brother had finished eating and stood up. "Since you're busy, I'll go take a look around."

She didn't want to return to the beach, so she strolled around the stone path on the island. Unknowingly, she'd reached the foot of Mount Hallasan.

Lisa hesitated for a moment but still went up.

Mount Hallasan wasn't very high. After walking for about half an hour, the lamps on the top of the mountain were already lit. An ancestral hall with green tiles and red walls was hidden among the trees, giving off an indescribable sense of loneliness and silence.

She could vaguely see two statues in the ancestral hall. The man statue was dressed in a military uniform, and elegant jewelry adorned the woman statue. Upon speculation, they must be the general and his wife.

Lisa's feet hadn't even crossed the threshold when she was already stunned.

In the ancestral hall, someone stood quietly, observing the statues from both sides.

His clothes fluttered slightly from the night breeze, but his expression was focused. The warm yellow light poured down on his head, and the young man's well-defined face was visible.

Jungkook's unparalleled youth and his low-profile calmness seemed to be a perfect combination.

Lisa stood there silently for a while before preparing to leave quietly. Unfortunately, Jungkook heard the noise and turned around.

The two of them looked at each other, and Lisa explained awkwardly, "I-I was just curious about the story, so I came up to take a look. I didn't expect you to be here..."

If she'd known, she wouldn't have come up. At this point, Jungkook might've already thought that she was following him on purpose.

Jungkook hummed in acknowledgment and didn't say anything else.

Lisa looked around. "Where's Hana? Is she not here?"

Only after saying this did she recall Hana's acrophobia.

"She doesn't like hiking, so she's going to rest." Jungkook said.

Lisa didn't know what to say. Then, seeing that he was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "I'll go in and take a look."

The ancestral hall wasn't big, and there were murals on the walls around it. On the walls were all legends about the general and his wife fighting against demons and ghosts to protect the people of Mount Hallasan.

Lisa walked around the hall to take a closer look. When she came out again, Jungkook was nowhere to be seen.

She heaved a sigh of relief and deliberately stayed inside for a long time before walking out.

As soon as she stepped out of the ancestral hall, she saw Jungkook standing next to the stone tablet in the courtyard, staring at the words on it in a daze.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and looked at her indifferently. "Let's go," He said.
