Love Me If You Dare

Chapter 50

The Grand Cherokee is moving at a high speed on the empty highway.  They pass by fields on either side of the road. Occasionally, one can spot lights from houses located near the highway, but they are few and far between. 

The crime scene is in H Village in D District, about an hour’s drive from S City centre.

Jungkook hasn't told Lisa much about the phone conversation. She only knows it’s an urgent case, and that they have very little information on it at the moment.   

Lisa is sitting in the passenger seat next to the driver. Jungkook looks calm and collected as usual.  Her mind is still thinking about what happened in her room less than an hour ago. 

The incoming call was like a bucket of ice water that poured over them.  They are completed cooled down after the phone call.

The events of the last few days had been a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions for Lisa -

Three days ago, he was still the aloof professor.  He didn’t know a thing about love.  Suddenly, he started pursuing her relentlessly.  He successfully captivated her heart, which was already leaning towards him in the first place. 

Her brain has been in a state of drowsiness since their….proper first kiss.  Then he proceeds, with lightning speed to lead her from her first kiss to her 'first night'...

They’ve only been together for three days, and she ends up in bed with the guy!  Jungkook is definitely a ‘bad influence’.  She never imagined that she will behave this way. 

It’s hard to imagine this prim and proper man driving next to her is the same hot and passionate man that was on lying on top of her just a while ago.

Lisa blushes.  The pace of their development is too fast for her to handle.

So, the phone call came at a timely moment.  They would take things a little more slowly, to make sure they are building a relationship that will lasts.  

Perhaps she has been quiet for too long. Jungkook says in a cold tone : “I will make the murderer regret what he did.”

Lisa : “Huh?”

Jungkook says with a cold smile : “He chose to kill during such an important moment for me.”

- Important moment?

She laughs.  He is still angry.

She recalls.  After the phone call, they quickly got dressed.  When he came out of his room, his handsome face was still red, and there was still an obvious bulge in his trousers….

He turns to look at her : “I won’t make you wait too long.” He said in a low voice.

Lisa : “…. It’s ok.  There’s no hurry.”

Jungkook pauses. He notices a micro-expression on her face.  

He asks : “Do you regret it?”

Lisa retorts “No… it’s just that…”

“Is it me?  Is there something I’ve done that’s not good enough?” He asks in an incredibly pompous tone. 

Lisa answers immediately : “Of course not.  You are great.”

He sweeps her a look : “I thought so.  Then what is the reason?”

Lisa thinks for a while, then holds his hand on the steering wheel.  

“It’s not that I am unwilling.” She laughs uncomfortably. “It’s just that… it seems unreal.”

We are finally together.  And tonight… you almost…
