Chapter 46 : Can I... Hug You?

___________________________________

Jungkook fell into silence again. He stared at the sea in the distance for a long time, thinking about something.

Lisa didn't say anything else as she stared at the sea in a daze.

She had thought that Jungkook would be as cold, cruel, and unreasonable as he was in her dream. After all, he could be so cruel to the Oh family.

The tragedy that had befallen the Oh family still left a lingering fear in Lisa's heart.

Oh Jung-se had committed suicide by jumping off a building. The huge Kexing Group had collapsed. Moreover, Sehun had turned from a rich young master to a homeless wanderer with nothing.

It was said that he had been kidnapped before and had lived a life worse than death for several days. No one knew who had kidnapped him. He suspected that it was Jungkook, but he had no evidence.

After the Oh family was in trouble, no one in Incheon City dared to lend Sehun a helping hand, for fear of offending Jungkook and getting into trouble.

At that time, Taehyung was in the United States. After hearing about the incident, he rushed back to Incheon City and searched for a long time before he finally found Sehun under a bridge.

His beard and hair were unkempt with tattered clothes and dull eyes. He was curled up in a pile of homeless people, completely losing his former elegance.

His body was covered in unformed scabs and some of the wounds had even festered. His tragic appearance almost made Taehyung cry.

Oh Jung-se was indeed guilty, but Sehun was innocent. Jungkook had destroyed the Oh family, Kexing Group, and Sehun's life.

Every time Lisa thought about it, she would feel a chill in her heart. Subconsciously, Jungkook's current image was almost the same as the Jungkook in her dream.

However, he seemed to be more restrained and gentle than she had imagined.

The ringing of the phone broke the silence between the two. It was a call from Eunwoo.

"Lisa, your colleagues from your department said that you left in a hurry this afternoon? Is there something wrong?"

"Don't worry, just a small issue."

Lisa glanced at Jungkook. She didn't know how long Jungkook was going to stay at the beach. She was afraid that Eunwoo would make a wasted trip, so she wanted to ask him to postpone the dinner.

However, she was afraid that Eunwoo would be disappointed. Just as she was thinking about how to phrase her words, Eunwoo said, "Are you still going back to the hospital? I'll be waiting for you there."
