The main van with Bang PD-nim is in a state of alarm. They are all making calls and Jin heard Bang PD-nim yelling at someone for leaving Jungkook behind.

BigHit_Jeon Jungkook

RM saw his phone screen and immediately answered the call.

"JK, where are you? Are you okay?" They all looked at RM, still nervous about Jungkook's situation.

"Hyung, I am okay. Someone dragged me and hid me from the crowd. Can you speak with her? I think her Hangul is not good but she understands me."

"Okay, put her on the phone," RM replied.

"Hello?" Lana said.

"What do you want from him? Are you with the press? Are you a stalker fan?" He said with assumptions on his tone. I calmed down and didn't take any offense.

"Hi, this is Lana and I am with UNICEF. I am one of the organizers and I dragged Jungkook before the press attacked him. We are still at the hotel's basement parking. Now, where should I bring him?" Lana said while slowly driving out of the parking area.

"No, you stay there. Don't move and we will come for you," RM replied.

"Too late. I'll drive him home to your place. We'll go now," Lana immediately told RM. She would have easily agreed to meet them in the basement parking but as soon as the car exited the parking building, reporters and fans were everywhere. Jungkook's eyes widened and Lana saw fear in his eyes. She fixed the cap on his head and gave him a smile. Lana then took off her Louboutin pumps and threw them on the back seat.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you," Lana told him in her broken Korean.

The press spotted the vehicle and started walking towards them to see who's inside. Lana stepped on the gas with the hand breaks still up, making the car sound like an angry beast, which made the photographers step back a bit.

"Put on your seatbelt." Jungkook complied, still looking at Lana with disbelief.

As soon as the reporters realized who's inside the vehicle, Lana released the hand breaks and stepped on the gas again. The vehicle's tires made a screeching sound as they dashed out of the parking bay but the reporters immediately followed with their vans. Jungkook looked behind them, still nervous, as they drove around Seoul trying to get rid of the media. Lana saw fear and worry in his eyes and it made her feel soft for kid. I will protect you.

Lana stepped on the gas harder and made sharp turns, until they lost all the vans following them. Jungkook finally faced the road, relieved that they were no longer being chased and that they are still alive after Lana pulled a fast and the furious on the media. Lana has her eyes fixed on the road and still feeling exhilarated about the situation that she didn't notice Jungkook staring at her. He looked at her hands and the way she was clutching the wheel, and how a small girl like her managed to drive like a maniac. Lana still has her make-up on and her hair still curled. He never imagined meeting a woman looking so classy and fragile but still managed to protect him. He was...amazed.

Lana checked Jungkook on the passenger seat and he finally gave her a smile. Lana smiled back at him.

"Where do you live?" She asked.

"Hannam-dong. The Hill," he replied.

"Oh! I know that place. It's near my apartment. I guess we will arrive there in an hour. Go text you friends and tell them that you are safe." Lana gave him a reassuring smile.

Jungkook took his phone out and saw the members' messages in their group chat. They were all panicking and trying to make him reply.

Hyung, I am okay. She is nice to me and she will drive me home. Wait for me at the dorm. Jungkook hit send.

Jungkook, are you okay? Be careful. Don't let her use your phone, she might hack it or something. Also, turn on your location so we can track you. Suga replied.

Hyung, it's okay. She's really nice. She actually looks familiar. Jungkook replied. He didn't notice that he was smiling while typing the message. He secretly took a photo of Lana and sent it to the group chat.

RM's eyes widened when he saw the picture sent by Jungkook. Lana. He repeated the name on his head and recalled her voice on the phone. Panic got the best of him and sent them a message.

Jungkook. Be careful. She might be a sasaeng. Don't accept any food or drink from her and ask her to turn off the AC. She might drug you so wear your facemask for precaution. Do not talk to hear if possible.

Jungkook is now confused. Why would RM send that kind of message? He just sent them a picture of her. Did RM see something on Lana that Jungkook didn't?

Why? Jungkook asked.

She was sitting beside Suga on the plane two months ago. She followed us on the high security immigration lane that day, too. She might be a sasaeng. We've had too many encounters with her now. This might not be a coincidence. RM sent. Everyone else read the message, flooding them with curiosity and fear. Who is this girl and what does she want? Yoongi clenched his fist upon reading RM's message, feeling bad and responsible for what happened to Jungkook.

Jungkook looked at Lana and felt bad. I thought you're different, he said to himself.
