Jennie froze when she saw what was behind the door of the mysterious locked room. At first, the guns on the wall weren't too shocking, since Lisa was an arms dealer, but the surveillance equipment was what confused her. There were three screens that were connected to cameras in different locations around the city. Why did he have these?


After she regained her composure, Jennie walked over to the desk to look at the screens in detail. That was when she noticed a USB stick sitting on top of the desk. Out of curiosity, she immediately slotted the USB stick into the computer to check what was inside. To her surprise, it was a list of corrupt officers that had worked with Sam Huang, the man that had been arrested over the death of Marcus Sim.


"Wasn't this the USB stick that was handed over to the anti-corruption bureau? Why does Lisa have a copy of it?" Jennie asked herself.


She then opened the drawers to check what was inside and found a whole heap of old phones as well as a stack of new SIM cards.


Things were becoming more and more mysterious. Why did Lisa have these?


As she flipped through the items in the drawer...Jennie suddenly stopped.


The bracelet around her wrist had caught her attention. It wasn't the first time that she had noticed the heart pendant that hung from it, nor was it the first time she ran her fingers across the dotted texture on the back. But, after what she discovered today, she had a gut feeling there was something more to it.


As she ran her finger across the dots, she realized there were also some dashes.


Jennie held her breath and froze.


It was Morse code.


.--- .-... ....


"J&L," Jennie whispered as a tear fell from her eye.


It seemed, there was more to this man than she thought...


...


That night, Jisoo invited Rosé to dinner like he usually did. But, for the first time that week, Rosé actually turned him down. "Moonbyul's back from Busan, so I'm catching up with him tonight," she explained.


Jisoo felt his blood boil at the mention of Moonbyul.


"Can I come as well?" Jisoo asked.


Rosé looked at the man awkwardly and replied, "We booked a table for two already. It will be difficult to change the booking now."


Jisoo frowned and nodded his head. "Well, at least let me drive you there. It looks like it might rain outside," he offered.


Rosé smiled. Why was this man such a gentleman? "OK," she replied as she started walking out of the restaurant.


Soon, Jisoo's car arrived outside a fancy Italian restaurant in the middle of town. "No wonder you couldn't change the booking. This place is always packed," Jisoo sighed.


"Yeh, I've always wanted to try it, so Moonbyul offered to take me," Rosé smiled excitedly.


Jisoo felt his heart break a little when he saw that she was excited to see another man. "If it's good, I'll come back with you again next time," Jisoo offered.


Rosé glanced at the man and nodded her head as she stepped out of the car.


It was a bit windy outside, so Rosé immediately ran into the restaurant.


As soon as she stepped inside, she saw a hand waving at her. Moonbyul was already seated and waiting for her.


"It's so nice to see you again. How was Busan?" Rosé asked as she leaned in to hug the man.


"It was great," Moonbyul replied as he pulled out a chair for the woman to sit down on.


He then handed her a menu and they started chatting while picking what to eat.


"So, what have you been up to while I was gone?" Moonbyul asked.


"I've been helping Jisoo with the menu for his new restaurant," Rosé smiled.


"I actually saw him just before this. He wanted to join us, but we had already made a booking for two, so he couldn't come. It's a shame because he would have loved this place," Rosé sighed.


"We can always come back with him next time," Moonbyul offered.


Rosé nodded. She then looked at the menu and smiled, "There's Cheesy chicken pasta. Jisoo loves chicken."


Moonbyul smiled. "They are famous for their pecorino pasta," he said as he pointed to the menu.


"Oh, Jisoo was planning to add pecorino to one of his dishes. I tried it for the first time on Monday. It was delicious," Rosé said.


Moonbyul looked at the woman with suspicion. Her every sentence mentioned Jisoo.


"It seems like you've put the whole gangster thing aside and decided to accept him as a friend?" Moonbyul concluded.


"Yes, I thought about what you said and decided not to judge him just because his friend was a gangster. Besides, I heard his friend was extradited back to Thailand. I don't think he will have any connections with the gangs from now on," Rosé said.


Moonbyul nodded as he looked at the woman.


But, all of a sudden, something behind Rosé caught his eye. He was a senior agent of the SPU, so he was a very observant person. A familiar figure was standing outside the restaurant, trying to peek in through the window.


It was Jisoo!


Moonbyul tried to hold back his laughter when he realized who it was. As a man, he could sense jealousy even through the glass.


"What are you laughing at?" Rosé asked curiously.


"Oh, it's nothing," Moonbyul replied with an amused smile.
