HELLBOUND [Liskook]

Part 58

Chapter 271 Don't break

Lisa shook her head. She felt like she couldn't breathe. She gasped for air at this revelation. She wouldn't believe it. She couldn't. It couldn't be true. They were lying to her again! But somehow, she felt that the strong light of hope that had illuminated her whole body with happiness, was being snuffed out quickly and it broke her.

She clung onto Taehyung as she tried to breathe. It hurt. It hurt so much.

Taehyung just sighed again. "Listen. I'm not telling you all this just to hurt you. That is not my intention. I have no quarrels with you. I'm telling you this for a reason. I let you come here because I think Kook's soul might not be completely gone yet," he added and Lisa looked up at him again.

"I can't be sure but the day before last night, I saw him staring at the rings. I believe those rings are your engagement ring and your wedding rings he put together in a necklace before he went to hunt down Jaehyun."

Silent tears fell down Lisa's eyes.

"Now you need to understand that Kook might hurt you. He's not the same man anymore. You can't even call him a man anymore. He's a complete monster now. Are you willing to still go after him?" Taehyung's gaze was sharp as he asked her, telling her that she must think about this. That this was something grave and dangerous for her.

But Lisa didn't even pause to think about her decision.

"Yes. I know there is still hope, his soul isn't completely gone yet, we… could still bring him back!" Lisa was desperate and the worse thing was that there was no doubt in her eyes at all. She clung on to every little thread of hope he threw at her, that Jungkook would still remember, that there must still be a way to save him. She clung onto the tiny, flickering light of hope in her heart because it was less painful than accepting that the Jungkook that she loved and loved her in return, was gone forever.

"I'm not going to promise anything. You have to think about this properly. He might destroy you and leave you completely empty, like he is." He warned but, for the first time in a while, a smile that wasn't forced curved on Lisa's lips. It was small but it was still a smile.

"No… he wouldn't do that. Don't worry. I will bring Kook back. I'm not going to give up on him. Never."

Taehyung couldn't say a thing. He wasn't doing this just for Lisa and Jungkook. He was doing this for the sake of this nation. No, for the sake of this world. This was a huge problem. Jungkook had become susceptible to possession and manipulation now that he had no soul. Taehyung could still manipulate him. The reason was unknown on why he was the only one that Jungkook listened to since he returned, soulless. And that was a really good thing. However, even Taehyung would not live forever. He would die one day and the world would be left to fend for themselves because it would all depend on who would be able to manipulate Jungkook after him. Jungkook was a ticking time bomb now and Taehyung couldn't deny that their only hope right now was the belief that his soul was not completely dead yet. And that this wife of his could somehow find a way to bring his soul back. He could only believe that since she was able to kill him, she might also be able to bring him back to life.

However, in all honesty, he couldn't think of any way of how she could even do that.

"I'm going back there. I will go get him," she told him, brave and willful. Somehow, this woman was really unbelievable.

"Fine. I'm not going to interfere with you. This is your decision. If you need help, you can let me know what you need," he said and Lisa nodded. This man, although he was still as cold and strict as ever even now, Lisa was now certain he was not a foe. Because if he was, she would've been dead long ago.
