Jennie's taxi soon pulled up next to a familiar car parked under a tree.


It was Lisa's.


Jennie had definitely arrived at the right place...


Jennie paid the taxi driver and quickly got out of the car. In front of her was a path that led to a little cabin. She slowly approached, hiding behind a tree to check that the coast was clear as she got closer.


There was no one in sight.


Jennie walked over to the cabin and peeked in through the window.


As she looked in, she quickly spotted Lisa sitting inside, surrounded by a bunch of tools. There was no one else with him.


What was he doing?


Jennie wiped the window a little and tried to look carefully at what was happening inside the cabin. That was when she noticed the vest on Lisa's body.


Immediately, her heart began to pound and her palms got sweaty.


"It's a bomb," she whispered to herself.


On Lisa's chest, there was a timer. The number on it now reads '22'.


Jennie immediately called Moonbyul, "Lisa has a bomb strapped to his chest. There's no one else around. I'm going in to help him defuse it."


"Don't act recklessly. If you are unsure about something, immediately leave. I will call the SWAT team right now."


"We don't have time. There are only 22 minutes left! We are 30 minutes from downtown."


Jennie then hung up the phone and ran straight into the cabin without hesitation.


As soon as the door flew open, Lisa looked up in shock.


"Jennie, what are you doing here?" he asked. She was the last person he wanted to see.


Jennie immediately knelt down beside the man and started looking at the wires on his body. He had already undone a few screws and cut 2 wires, but the timer was still ticking.


"There's one wire left," she said as she scanned her eyes across the bomb in front of her.


Lisa nodded as she looked at the serious woman in front of him. Jennie's hair was tied up, but she was so close that he could still smell the shampoo from her hair. It was oddly comforting.


Jennie carefully ran her hand across the wires on Lisa's body and tried to trace where each one was connected.


The timer continued to tick. It had now reached '17'.


"You should get out of here," Lisa said.


"I've looked at every single wire carefully. I can't find the last one," he said calmly. "Please...leave before this goes off. You shouldn't be here."


Jennie looked into the man's eyes. "I'm not leaving you here," she said firmly. She then grabbed the man's shoulder and turned him around.


"What are you doing?" Lisa asked.


Jennie grabbed a pair of scissors and carefully cut a slit in the back of the man's vest.


"Bingo!" she cheered.


Hidden inside the back of the vest were another bundle of wires.


"That sneaky b*stard! Did he hide wires in the back of the vest?"Lisa asked.


"Sit still!" Jennie ordered as she carefully checked the wires.


Lisa looked down at the timer. It now reads '12'.


Lisa could sense the concentration from the woman behind him. Her breathing was loud, but it was at a steady, controlled pace. That's when Lisa realized, from the moment Jennie stepped foot into the cabin, she had been calm and confident. Did this woman actually know what she was doing?


At that moment, he saw Jennie grab a pair of pliers from the floor.


"Are you sure?" he asked.


"Trust me," Jennie replied calmly.


Lisa held his breath as he looked down at the timer once more. It was now down to single digits: '5'.


He knew he had no choice but to trust Jennie. After all, he had pretty much given up hope on finding the last wire before she arrived.


While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a snip behind him.


Lisa's heart almost jumped out of his chest.


At that moment, everything fell silent. All he heard was his heartbeat and Jennie's gentle breathing.


The timer had stopped ticking!


Lisa breathed out and turned to look at Jennie in surprise.


Jennie remained calm. "It's been defused," she said.


Lisa was shocked. Who was this woman? Sure, she said she studied mechanical and chemical engineering and that she majored in weaponry and explosives, but he struggled with this bomb even though he was an experienced arms dealer. How did she manage to defuse it so calmly?
