At seven in the morning, Lisa was woken up by Jungkook.

"It's seven o'clock," he said to Lisa, pointing to his watch. "Get up and go for a jog."

Lisa: "....."

She was still dazed, but Jungkook had dragged her up and half-carried her to the bathroom.

"Jungkook, I'm really sleepy.....". Her voice was so soft that she seemed to be murmuring, her hands weakly resting on his arm.

"You won't be sleepy after a jog," Jungkook assured her seriously.

Lisa: "....."

She controlled her trembling wrists as if she were sleepwalking as she used the toilet, washed her face, and brushed her teeth. After changing clothes and stepping outside, the cool breeze blew on her head, and she was finally wide awake.

There were a lot of people jogging in the neighborhood, all running from here to the park outside. A single round would take around half an hour.

Lisa followed behind Jungkook, trying to drag her two shaking legs to keep up with his pace.

Jungkook was dressed in a white tracksuit, with a cap on his head, headphones in his ears, and shoes on his feet that were brand new as if he had just bought them from a store.

Lisa looked down at his shoes, worrying that he would step on something dirty.

She hadn't jogged in a long time. In her memory, only when she was in high school, she would get up every morning to jog during training, shouting slogans and running at the same pace as her schoolmates.

At that time, she was full of enthusiasm every day, believing that she would have a bright future after passing the examinations.

Later, when her fantasy was shattered, she thought that she was dreaming.

Yes, if it had not been a dream, how could she have entered such a terrifying place.

Her feet continued to run, but her oxygen-deprived brain flashed back to her school days.

Her unbridled youth, and her longing for college.

Like a broken string, it had come to a screeching halt.

By the time she arrived at the park, Lisa was already so exhausted that she slowly knelt on the ground. Struggling for breath, there was sweat on her face and tears in her eyes.

In fact, she always wanted to ask her parents, why they were so cruel.

Why did they destroy her so easily.

She covered her face, her eyes sore and hot, tears spilling out through her fingers.

She wanted to ao back.

She wanted to find a place to hide and gradually calm down.

Her legs, however, were too weak to walk. She heard the sound of someone breathing moving down in front of her, followed by headphones being stuffed into her ears. It wasn't pop music, but rather a piano piece.

She was a little taken aback. She had hardly ever heard this kind of music before.

Her arms were pulled by the man. Before Lisa knew it, she was already on Jungkook's back.

He carried her on his back and continued to jog into the park.

He was sweating a little, but there was no smell of sweat on him.

Lisa lowered her head and only smelled the charming smell of pinewood, a soothing scent that instantly calmed her heart.

Jungkook did not jog fast, but it was still a bumpy ride for Lisa, causing her chest to hurt. She wiped away her tears, gently wrapped her arms around Jungkook's neck, and looked up.
