18.

"Lisa..."

Lisa bursting, took an extensive steps with her slender legs, hand squeezing Hanbin's front hoodie and pull him into her embrace. Burrying her face into the crook of his neck.

"Bin... Hanbin..." she doesn't cry, but she squeeze herself tight to him as if he'll gone in a second without her consent.

Hanbin felt cold on his body, like a ghost lingering on his bones, an imminent hurt just float around. Like it'll stroke at anytime. He realized how scared he was, how Lisa could make him feel nothing but a bizzare sense of emptiness. Slowly hands up her spine, clutching her closer.

Lisa pull her face, ducking back just enough to let her see his face.

"Oh, God..." she runs her palm over his face, scanning the milky skin she once so familiar with. Thumb smoothing along his cheek, "baby..."

Hanbin snapped, the word baby woke him up, just like that he pull himself off her. "What are you doing here?" regretting how cold he sounded, but he couldn't take it back.

Lisa's eyes moving around, realizing it was more people in there. "Hey, Jinan."

Hanbin turned to Jinan, "you brought her here?'

"No." they both answered in unison.

"But he showed the way." Lisa walked towards Jinan's jeep and sophisticatedly bent down to reaching something from under his fender. A cellphone.

"You put a cellphone as a tracker?" Jinan asked, "but how did you knew my car..."

"I saw you at the hotel, I stayed just across your room, FYI," Lisa put down the cellphone on a table, a newest android phone, "it's just easier way than to buy or install a small tracker like somewhat a secret agent over dramatized tools."

Then she looked around, recognizing the gaze from four other people. Lisa didn't bother to speak in Korean, she understand some because she was surrounded by people who speaks one, but she's not good enough to string up any sentence. "No one's gonna introduce me to these fellas?"

"They knew who you are." Hanbin said.

They all trapped in an awkward silence, Hanbin looked tired and hurt. And for some reasons, Bobby looking at him, agony won him over, so powerfull and maddening. Hanbin looked overwhelmed and Bobby thinks some days it might kill him. "We're all so exhausted today," he said in english, "maybe you should leave, miss."

Lisa turned to Bobby.

Bobby mentally gulped to see how beautiful this creature. Her features screams exclusive and just like thousands globugs woking on her, she's glowing.

"You can rest if you want, mister....?"

Bobby didn't even bother to tell her his name.

Lisa inhaled, "but I need to talk to Hanbin—"

"My roof my rule." Bobby said, "you're in my house now, miss, you tresspassing a private teritorry by sitting here inside my garage, I can call a cop if I want... now, I want you to leave."

Lisa pin a cold gaze to Bobby. It strangely broke his heart. She'll think he's such a smug Korean. But Hanbin first, because he's the friend of Hanbin, not Lisa.

Hanbin took Lisa's wrist, "I'll send you to the door."

Mentally Bobby was relief that Hanbin silently agreeing on his decision of telling Lisa to leave.

Jennie follows the couple, the way Hanbin spoke to her was firm but soft, and it tied a strong uncomfortable knot inside her chest.

"Bin, I need to talk to you." She said.
