HELLBOUND WITH YOU 🅱️🅾️🆗 2⃣

*Awake*

In no time, Lisa arrived at the foot of the hill. The place was forested and steep, but he found the exact spot written on the note in no time at all, as if he didn't need to even have to search for it. 

The moment he stood there, Lisa's blazing eyes fell towards the man who was nonchalantly playing the flute as he sat on the grass with his left knee folded, while he leaned against a wall right next to an old wooden door that was already decaying. 

"Jisoo." Lisa squinted his eyes as he glared down at him. However, Jisoo simply looked up at him, unfazed, as he continued playing the flute, as coolly as ever.  

Lisa was about to approach the man when suddenly, his eyes were drawn towards the old door beside him. With just that, he finally realized the reason why Jisoo was here and why he was playing. He remembered that the last time he heard Jisoo play a flute was back when he was a teenager when they were playing in the castle and had gotten lost. So seeing him playing now was strange and could only mean one thing – that there was a secret passage inside that dungeon that led to this exit that only Jisoo knew about.  

Lisa rushed towards the door when suddenly, the door moved as he heard a sound coming from the inside. 

However, before Lisa could reach it, the door fell forward, halting him in his tracks, barely missing him. 

His gaze flew towards the entrance and his eyes widened as he saw someone holding onto the door frame. 

Je-jennie…" he uttered as the music stopped. 

Jennie was blinded by the light so her head was turned towards her right as if to hide from the bright light. She was trembling. Her mind was no longer working. She didn't know if the brightness that flooded her eyes meant that she finally got outside or if she had actually died and had gone to heaven. 

She noticed that the music had stopped. What did that mean? Was it over? She forced her eyes to open but then darkness slowly swallowed her whole before she could even lift her eyelids open.  

"Jennie!" Lisa called out as he caught her in his arms. He immediately looked for a pulse and he was utterly relieved when he felt her heart still beating and that she was still breathing. Lisa felt like the spirit of life that had left his body entirely when he saw her collapse, had now returned. 

At that moment, he didn't even realize that he was hugging her so tightly. 

"Easy, Lisa… or you'll end up squeezing her to death," Jisoo said, nonchalantly, as he stood up, causing Lisa to finally realize what he was doing. 

"It looks like your little lamb is not as fragile as you think, Lisa," Jisoo added before he moved towards him and patted his shoulder. 

Because Lisa was holding Jennie in his arms, Jisoo swiftly managed to take the dungeon's key from him. 

"I'll let Myra go. You can punish her all you want, but I can't just allow you to claim her life." 

"That is not your decision to make, Jisoo," replied Lisa as he stood up, carrying Jennie in his arms as carefully as if he was holding a newborn baby. 

"Jennie is alive, Lisa. No need to spill anymore blood. Besides, if you execute Myra because of her, I'm afraid you'll just be digging Jennie's grave. Or, were you thinking of taking all her freedom and chaining her right next to you forever to be able to keep her safe?" 

Lisa didn't respond to Jisoo words. The murderous look in his eyes, that started to waver upon the sight of his little lamb, slowly faded and returned to its usual coldness as he disappeared from Jisoo sight. 

…

Somewhere in Old city, Country V's capital…

It was a little dark when Jennie opened her eyes again. Her entire body ached and she hadn't even moved yet! Her eyes slowly adjusted and wandered around as her brows knitted together. 

Where was she? This wasn't her room. This was not her room at Lisa's house either. She moved and immediately winced because of the pain from the cut on her left leg. As she continued to move, a deep voice made her pause. "You're awake," the voice said and her head immediately turned towards her right, to the source of the voice. 

"Lisa… you're back!" her voice was barely a whisper. She realized that her throat hurt a little when she spoke. However, she couldn't think about the pain upon seeing Lisa being right there next to her bed. 

She felt like it had been a really long time since she last saw him. She missed him so much that she wanted to cry. 

Jennie immediately reached out and held his arm, as she attempted to rise so she could hug him, when Lisa gently pinned her down.

"Stay put. You're injured." His voice sounded hoarse as if he was struggling to keep his voice gentle. 

"Injured?" How come?" She said as she winced. Her voice was not coming out normally. She felt as though she hadn't drunk any water for many days. "Water, please," she asked.

Lisa poured water into the glass and then looked at her. Jennie was waiting for him to help her up but to her surprise, the man didn't. Instead, he drank it himself! 

Jennie lips parted as she blinked at him in confusion. However, before she could complain, the man bent down and his lips crashed on hers. Her lips were already parted so he easily pried it open. 

The next second, Jennie felt the liquid flow from his mouth to hers, and then down her throat. 

She felt like all her sleeping cells had been jolted awake by a lightning bolt. W-what did he just do?Her face turned as red as a cooked lobster as she looked at him, dumbstruck. 

But the man simply drank more water from the glass and kissed her again, making her drink the water from his mouth.
