Love Me If You Dare

Chapter 78

Darkness surrounds her. Lisa lies down in the small bed.  It seems she is only person left in the world. 

She touches the bed sheets underneath her body.  Jackson changed a new set of bed sheets for her today.  It smells freshly laundered.   But this smells reminds her of home.  

She misses her mother.  She misses her sister.  She misses Taehyung, and she misses Jungkook most.

In this place where there’s no way of differentiating whether it is night or day…. Where are you… my love? 

Before Jackson left her, he injected some drugs into her.  Her arm is full of needle holes.  

But it didn’t produce hallucinations like the previous drugs.   Instead, memories comes flooding to her.  Sweet memories, bitter memories… they just appear in her mind uncontrollably.  

The night when she touched Jungkook’s scars on his back for the first time.  Her tears swelled up in her eyes.  What did he say to her then?  

Under the gentle and soft lighting, his handsome but proud face looks at her with regret and concern : “If I knew this would make you cry, I would not have shown you.” 

His rich low voice, sounding like beautiful music notes played by a cello, rings in her ears.  His warm breath, his sensual touch, filled with love and his adoration for her…. Lisa falls into a dreamy fantasy where he is beside her, wrapping his arms tightly around her… 

Suddenly, a big vacuum sucked away her lover.  Then, the voice of another man rings in her ears : “I will be the one that live.  The one and only… Jeykey.”

No! 

Lisa puts her hands over her face.

No. She does not believe it. Jungkook cannot have split personality.  He is strong and tough.  Even though he is walking in darkness, his heart is still pure and clear.  

Her Jungkook. the one and only… Justin.  No matter what she hears.  No matter what happens next.  There is only one thing she can do - 

Believe in him.  Wait for him.

He will unlock this hell and rescue her.

“Pang!”  The sound of the light switch being turned on.  The blinding light causes Lisa to cover her eyes with her hands.  She hears a familiar footage behind her. 

Lisa’s heart pounds. 

He, is here again.

————————

There is smell of coffee in the air. Lisa is forced out of her cage back to the sofa again.  

Jackson is still in a good mood.  He’s whistling again.  He brings over a cup of coffee and put it in front of her.   

Lisa’s face is very pale.  She doesn’t pick up the cup. Jackson gets himself another cup of coffee.  He takes a sip, then he smiles : “Drink it.  Or I will whip you.”   

Lisa takes the coffee and sips it slowly.  He smiles.  

After she has drinks about a third of the cup, he suddenly says : “Oh… I forgot to tell you, I added something special in the coffee.”  

Lisa pauses.  She looks at the cannibal that is sitting before her.  A disgusting thought comes to her mind.  She starts throwing up into the rubbish bin next to her feet. 

Jackson laughs loudly : “What I wanted to tell you was… I added milk in the coffee.”

Lisa takes a deep breath.  She takes a tissue from the table and wipes her mouth.  Then she looks ups and meets his gaze.  She quickly looks down again.
