"Bambam sent it? What is it?" Jennie opened the email.
Lisa's expression turned serious. He covered her little hand, controlling the mouse with his palm as his eyes darkened. His sudden movement shocked Jennie. When she turned over, she saw that he was staring at the laptop screen intently.
"What's wrong?" Jennie asked.
His grip on her hand tightened. He coughed slightly without saying anything.
Jennie looked at him for a while. She suddenly thought of something as she looked away slightly disappointedly. Reflexively, she moved her hand and mumbled, "Can't I look? I'll go and prepare your bath water then..."
As she was about to get up from his lap, he stopped her. "Jennie, I don't have any secrets to keep from you. You can stay if you want to look."
She then sat back down and scrolled the window upwards. A large chunk of text appeared on screen with some photos attached.
Jennie was stunned as she read through them.
Cho Ji-Shung...
What was happening?
"How could this be? He..."
Jennie could not believe what she was reading. She shuddered as she pointed at one of the images. "This... Isn't this the photo Aunty had? This man is Ji-Shung? Wait... This... A hat, sunglasses... This... This is the man that stopped me in the tunnel back then!"
"Are you sure he's the one instead of Kim Joon?" Lisa looked at her and asked.
Jennie stared at the photo of the man in sunglasses for a long while, then she nodded confidently. "It should be him. Although I couldn't see his face back then, the shape of his face is pretty identical to the man in the photo, and I remember him having a tiny mole near his ear. Right here..."
Lisa's eyes darkened when he heard Jennie. He read the email again as his grip wrapped around her waist tightened. He was almost merging Jennie and him into one person.
"You... Are you searching for the person that stopped me back then? What conflict does Ji-Shung have with you? Is it because of Miyeon?"
Lisa remained quiet for a moment before replying, "The conflict between us is huge..."
His tone of voice sounded a little melancholic. Jennie felt oddly sad hearing that, so she grabbed his hand, "Did you find out something? It's not just about Miyeon, is it? She's still fine right now. The ones who had it worse were Suho, Yeji, and you. You had to bear the fault even though it's not your mistake. Tell me what happened."
"Maybe it's exactly because Suho died that our conflict is sure to never end," he replied with a grim smile as his arm around her waist relaxed. His face was still expressionless although his voice sounded a little poignant. "I called him Mr. Wen the other day, but he didn't give me any reaction. He should at least be curious about who I was talking about in that situation, but he didn't even stop as if he had practiced this. At that moment, I could almost be sure he was the one that stopped you in the tunnel. Bambam also found out the accident in City B might be related to him."
"He's really trying to hurt you. It doesn't make sense if it's just for the sake of Miyeon, but you mentioned Suho. Could it be...?" Jennie suddenly thought of something, and her expression shadowed over. She then remembered her man rushing to City B several days after the New Year.
She knew that he was trying to find out about Suho and Yeji's biological father, but now he was linked to Ji-Shung?
"Do you mean that that person... is him? Impossible!"
Jennie could not believe it. Her heart sank and she started to feel uncomfortable, unable to imagine what he was feeling.
"Bambam is trying to get some DNA samples from him. I've sent Yeji's sample over already. We'll be able to conduct a DNA test afterward."
Lisa closed the email and then deleted it. "We'll find out the truth once we get the results. However, make sure no one else finds out about this before we're clear of the whole situation. Keep it a secret from the others, especially my grandparents and Yeji. You cannot let them know at all costs. Understand?"
Jennie nodded. She realized that he was worried the elders could not take it while Yeji might lose control and go see Ji-Shung too. There might be unthinkable consequences if this went out of hand.
"He wants to take revenge on you! Is it because he thought you caused Suho's death? Or is it because of something else?" Jennie turned around and grabbed his shoulders uneasily. "I could tell he has a grudge against you. He's the man that gave me a warning, but didn't we come to the conclusion that Mr. Wen is Kim Joon?"
"He probably borrowed this name and misled us. Why do you think we haven't been able to find him after so many years? His relationship with Kim Joon isn't ordinary as well. I feel that things took a huge turn and we've returned to square one."
Lisa's tone was quiet. He seemed much calmer as compared to Jennie.
"Don't worry. We might be able to solve this whole matter together with all the conflicts in the past." He comforted her.
