--Lisa--

My scalp hurts so much. It hurts so much that my whole body is numb, and burning tears flow from my eyes. I open my eyes and see a little bit of hazy light above my head. I find myself sitting in Jungkook's arms without knowing when.

He leaned against the wall, put his arm around my waist, and looked down at me. I sat on his lap.

I suddenly felt a thin layer of numbness all over my body, as if someone took a feather and gently scraped my waist. His eyes were like that black feather. I pushed him away and tried to get up, but he pushed me back. My heart skipped a beat and I felt like I couldn't move.

We talked for a few words and he wanted to check the wound on my head. Now that I had woken up, I thought to myself that my scalp was bleeding and had a lot of hair pulled out by that man. It must have been very ugly, so how could I let him see it?

So I refused to do it.

I looked up and saw him laughing. I asked, "What are you laughing at?"

He said: "Nothing, I just think you're cute."

I was suddenly speechless. He didn't say anything either. We were very close to each other, and suddenly my chin felt a little itchy, and it was his fingers gently touching it.

I felt like I must be crazy. Late at night, with no clear path ahead, I sat in the arms of a car mechanic I had just met, in an ambiguous, silent entanglement.

And his eyes seemed to contain a whole black ocean. His fingers stayed on my face, and for a moment, I felt like he was going to forcefully kiss me. However, he just helped me stand up and whispered, "To avoid trouble, if the police ask, just say we were dating nearby."

I said, "Okay."

Only then did I realize how close the alarm was. A police car stopped at the entrance of the alley and several policemen ran over.

I picked up the child from the ground. The child was probably scared and tired of crying, so he curled up next to us and fell asleep. Jungkook and I looked at the person who came, and he put his hand on my shoulder.

The policemen were getting closer and closer, and I suddenly caught a glimpse of the second person, tall and thin, with a delicate face under the police hat, very familiar. My heart skipped a beat, it can't be such a coincidence...

The policeman also saw me clearly and was obviously stunned.

Our eyes met in the air for a while, and I looked away, but I could feel that he was still staring at me.

Same as before, a piece of wood.

Suddenly, Jungkook turned his head and glanced at me, his eyes were deep and hard to read, and then he looked at Suho. Suho probably also realized that there was something wrong with his gaze, and looked away from me.

The leading policeman immediately took the child, examined him carefully, and asked, "Who are you two?"

I answered: "A passerby."

Jungkook said: "She and I passed by the street corner in front and saw a man holding the child. We thought the man was not normal and the child might not be his, so we chased after him."

"Where is that man?" Suho asked.

Jungkook replied: "He ran away."

The leading police officer asked again: "What are you two doing in such a remote place at this late hour?"

I glanced at Suho, and he was also staring at me with clear and puzzled eyes.

Jungkook was silent for a moment and said, "Fall in love." The other two policemen showed some understanding, and Suho's gaze shifted elsewhere.

I can understand his embarrassment.

After all, I had been on a blind date with him and I dumped him. Now that he, a policeman, had caught me having a "secret meeting" with a man in the middle of the night, I felt a little embarrassed.

The leading police officer said, "Xiao suho, take their statements and bring them back to the bureau to assist in the investigation."

Suho said: "Yes."

Then Jungkook and I were separated. I stood where I was while Jungkook was taken to the other end of the alley. Suho took out a small notebook and questioned him. I couldn't hear what they were saying from a distance, but both of them looked serious and calm. Finally, Suho put away the small notebook and asked Jungkook to get into the police car. Jungkook raised his head and glanced at me. I made an OK gesture to him, indicating that I was fine. So he nodded and got in the car.

The stubborn Suho held the car door and stared at a certain point in the air, as if he had not noticed the interaction between Jungkook and I. Then he took out a small notebook, wrote a few times on it, seemed to have made some preparations, and walked in front of me.

I stood in the corner, with no one around. Suho was about the same height as Jungkook, a head taller than me. He adjusted the brim of his hat, glanced at me, then stared at the little notebook and said, "Name?"

I looked at him speechlessly and said, "Suho, you know all this. My name, occupation, address, height, hobbies, and mate target... You know everything. Why are you still asking?"

He was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't know that you would end up dating a car mechanic."

I:"......"
