This helicopter was the main battlecraft of the local military. When Jaebeom received the emergency signal from Old Ba and his men, he knew right from the get go that whatever was in the desert, it wasn't something regular humans could take down.
And so, he directly linked up with the military personnel stationed in this area and subsequently borrowed the heaviest weapons they had in their inventory. After that, he and Liu Zi laid out all the maps they had of the desert and examined them closely. From there, they formulated a search and rescue plan. However, before they announced the start of their mission, these people who were supposed to be requesting help marched right up to their camp.
Jaebeom glanced at Lisa. His eyes were supposed to scan her from head-to-toe but they stopped at her hands, which were holding Jungkook's. He was visibly stunned for a split second but he quickly recovered his composure. "Miss Lalisa, this heli belongs to the local military..."
What he wanted to inform her was that this warship was an asset of the North-Western Chinese People's Liberation Army but a look from Jungkook cut him off promptly.
The look in his eyes was vicious. Although silent, his intimidating demeanor forced Jaebeom to swallow his words.
"Let's go take a look at the chopper." Jungkook tucked the strands of hair that had fallen to the side of her face with his cold fingers, which brushed against her delicate face as he did so.
Lisa had a gleam in her eyes when she stared at the helicopter. Liu Zi and the others were taken aback by her reaction. Though, they did not dare to make direct eye contact with her.
With Jungkook's permission, Lisa climbed onto the helicopter whilst wearing an ear-to-ear smile.
Jiji, despite holding Dog Feed in its arms, was surprisingly agile. It hopped onboard the aircraft in just the blink of an eye.
Dog Feed: Try to be more gentle will you? God damn, those robotic arms are annoying!
Jiji: One more complaint I hear from you and I'll burn off your petals!
Dog Feed: Robots these days, how crude and impolite!
Jiji: Do you seriously think I'm your average robot?!
Dog Feed bared its teeth viciously. "Cease your bullcrap or I'll swallow you whole!"
Jiji was getting increasingly riled up. "Come on! Eat me then! I was just thinking about asking Beauty Lisa to give me a larger, more powerful body!"
Dog Feed: ...
'What the hell is Miss Lalisa keeping around her? Why are they all so bizarre?!' it thought to itself.
"Look at her, what on earth is Miss Lalisa doing?" The hatch of the helicopter had yet to be closed shut. Through the opening, Old Jiu could see Lisa sitting within the aircraft. She appeared to be fumbling around the switches, which made their hearts almost jump out of their mouths. This was the most high-tech attack helicopter their nation had ever produced! A flick of a button and missiles would start firing away!
Shi Yi rubbed his chin. "You guys should know what she's doing just by looking at her eyes. She's figuring out how to operate the attack helicopter."
Back then, she had this exact gleam in her eyes when she looked at the man-eating flower. What followed was her...cutting down the monster and turning it into an innocent little bouquet.
"Wait a second," Liu Zi looked up abruptly. "That's Miss Lalisa!"
"You know her?" Shi Yi eyed him skeptically.
"That's right! She was the one who cured Wu Zi of his disease!" Liu Zi got excited in a matter of seconds. "Ugh, you guys don't know about her. I guess Ah Da and the others are more familiar with Miss Lalisa. I can't believe the day would come when I get to see her up close and personal!"
Shi Yi's eyes widened. "Isn't she in robotics or something?! Since when can she cure people?"
What a load of bullcrap!
"You don't know sh*t!" Liu Zi looked back at him contemptuously. "Miss Lalisa's a high-achieving med student in A University! Do you know the Medical Research Center in A University? And how there have been countless doctors from multiple countries flooding into said center for the past few days?"
Shi Yi and his men nodded mindlessly in response. Liu Zi's passion had been triggered. He started blabbering away endlessly. "If I were to talk about the ground-breaking cell fusion process or the International Art Exhibition, you'd all definitely start scratching your heads. At the very least, you all should've heard of Nine Heavens, right? Yes, you heard me right. It's THAT Nine Heavens that is working together with the Ministry of National Defense! Remember when Old Ba was tailing that guy from the network department and he got his ass handed to him as a result?!"
The corner of Old Ba's mouth twitched when he heard that. How could he ever forget that experience?
He passed special forces training with flying colors but got his ass whooped by a goddamn civvy! Even he couldn't believe that the incident had actually occurred!
However, he had a deep sense of respect when he heard the name of the company, Nine Heavens. Say, just what sort of people do they have working over there? How could a regular-looking technician possess such great combat skill?
"And just what does this have to do with Miss Lalisa?" Shi Yi wore a bewildered expression on his face.
"Well, Nine Heavens belongs to Miss Lalisa." Liu Zi patted Shi Yi's shoulder and chuckled quietly.
Old Ba sucked in a lungful of cold air. "W-What your saying... is it true?" He felt his heart crumble into pieces.
Liu Zi sucked up every last drop of the shocked expression on Shi Yi's face. Out of curiosity, he asked, "How was it, surviving out there in the middle of a desert?" With Miss Lalisa around, it shouldn't have been too boring, right?
Old Ba wiped the cold sweat off his face. "God knows what we've been through..."
Jungkook stuck his right hand into his pocket and fiddled with his phone using the other. Jaebeom, who was standing in front of him, finally got back his bearings. "Admiral, why are you here?"
"I have something to tend to." Jungkook narrowed his eyes and then he raised his right hand.
Jaebeom only managed to catch a glimpse of his white sleeve fluttering in the air when a gust of wind swept over him.
Thud!
The unshut door of the helicopter was closed up by what seemed like an invisible hand. It blocked the rest of the men from watching Lisa. Liu Zi in particular, was stunned by suddenly getting his vision blocked.
'F*ck! What the hell is going on!'
He glared angrily but all he could see was someone's snow-white clothes. It was painful to look at under the blistering sun.
"Liu Zi, treasure your life." Old Jiu pulled him back. "Didn't you hear what Big Boss called him?"
"What?" Liu Zi was puzzled.
"Admiral! Big Boss called him admiral!" replied Old Ba solemnly.
Liu Zi's worldview had been broken down completely in a single day. "An admiral? At this age?" Even his big boss was a major general only. This position of his came at the cost of countless pints of blood. So why on earth hadn't he heard about this admiral before?
Old Jiu turned towards Jungkook's back. "I think he's the big shot we saw in the International Training Camp..."
"Which area of command does this aircraft belong to?" Jungkook asked Jaebeom.
Jaebeom responded by uttering a name.
Jungkook, who received his answer, straightaway dialed for that person. He spoke briefly with the man on the other end of the line before hanging up.
He then peered back at Jaebeom with a cold gaze. "You no longer have to be worried about this helicopter."
"..."
"Admiral..." He still wanted to say something but Jungkook had already turned away. The rolling breeze carried his remaining words. "Do not linger around for too long."
Jaebeom was silent as he watched Jungkook hop into the aircraft.
After an initial "rumble" came a gust of howling wind, which indicated that the helicopter engine was revving up.
"Big boss, that person is..." Shi Yi's jaws almost dropped to the ground as he watched the helicopter. They really learned how to operate a chopper so quickly? If you're so intelligent, why don't you just ascend to heaven? Wait, hold on. They have already ascended.
"They're people from the reclusive world." Jaebeom replied while holding up an arm to block the wind.
Old Jiu then murmured back. "Of the reclusive world, I only know that the Jeon family reigns supreme, followed by the Murong and the Tang family. About Miss Lalisa..." Seems like he had never heard of her before?
"The strength of ancient martial arts practitioners are clearly divided in China, with the Trial Tower rating as a benchmark. The top 10 challengers are all recognized as core members of the ancient martial arts world. Anyone of these people wields enough power to destroy an entire city if they wanted to." Jaebeom watched as the helicopter disappeared into the horizon. That man from before, he is Master Jeon from the International Training Camp. You might not know this but he's the top challenger in the Trial Tower. His strength is unimaginable."
"If anyone from the top 10 list can wipe out an entire city, then the strongest one..." Shi Yi's facial expression was as if he had just seen a monster.
Old Jiu peered up. "Then what about Miss Lalisa?"
"Miss Lalisa..." Jaebeom pulled out an ancient-looking book from his pocket. "She, I can't imagine how strong she is too." 'Manobans' was not a surname native to the ancient martial arts world. For such a talented person to rise up, he feared that chaos would once again run through the ancient martial arts world.
***
On the helicopter.
"Jiji, Jiji, how the f*ck do you turn this on? It's off balance! Off balance!" Lisa kept her eyes glued to the windshield. She was afraid that if she did not do so, she and the aircraft would fall right on top of some poor folk's rooftop.
Jungkook sat behind her, smiling at how frantic she was while operating the aircraft. Despite Jiji's guidance, there were still issues with maintaining smooth control over the helicopter.
Lisa noticed that they were rapidly approaching a tall mountain. Having the premonition that they were about to crash and burn, she yelled out, "Jiji, hurry up and take the flying stick!"
She felt a warmth approach her back right after she said that.
Jungkook leaned forwards and held onto her hands from behind. With a slight grin on his face, he reassured her, "If you've no clue, let me teach you."
While gripping her hand, he taught her how to properly maneuver a helicopter. A few seconds later, the aircraft achieved stability.
The two of their bodies had seemingly merged into one. Their faces were less than an inch away from each other; they were so close that they could hear each other's breaths.
"Brother Jungkook, why do you know how to operate this thing?" Lisa slowly mastered the art of balancing her aircraft in the air.
Jungkook then reached his left hand out in front of her to control the multiple switches. While maneuvering the aircraft forwards, he replied, "I was in a military zone before, so I figured I might as well learn a skill or two."
"Military zone?" A gleam appeared in Lisa's eyes. "You were in the military?"
"Most people from the ancient martial arts world have been in the military, especially the international training camp. Tempers our minds, you know?"
At this point, Jungkook started pondering. "Would you like to go and play?"
"No, not for now." Lisa put down her hands and rested against his chest. She then picked up her phone to reply to some messages. She had been having too much fun in the desert for the past few days that she neglected to respond to her contacts. Her phone was plastered with unread messages and the likes. While texting back, she talked with Jungkook. "I heard the selection for the ancient martial arts world's ranking tournament has started? Are you going to join?"
Of course! There's gonna be much more fun in the ancient martial arts world than the military zone!
"No, I don't need to go through the selection process." Jungkook felt slightly regretful though. If it were a few years earlier...
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang twice. As Jungkook was busy operating the aircraft, he asked Lisa for a favor. "Help grab my phone will you?"
Lisa did as told. However, when she pulled the phone out, she noticed an odd name on the caller ID-Little Psycho?
WTF? What's this?
"Brother Jungkook, uh, Little Psycho's calling..." Lisa peered up but from her angle, she could only see the bottom of his jaw.
Jungkook's fingers visibly froze up when he heard the name. He looked down at her and asked, "Do you know how to operate this thing now?"
"More or less." Lisa nodded.
"Alright," Jungkook contemplated for a moment before placing his hand, which initially held Lisa's on the control switch. "I'll be back in a moment."
Lisa nodded in response. She secretly turned around to look at him. Just who was that Little Psycho? And why wasn't he dodging her phone call?
Jungkook walked to the back of the aircraft and dialed for the number who called him earlier on. His call was answered in less than two seconds.
"Mom, why have you called me?"
"..."
Lisa overheard the first word that he uttered.
'You win this time, Brother Jungkook.'
***
Taehee, who was far away in the ancient martial arts world, was packing up her belongings. "Jungkook, didn't you tell me that you were coming home today? Where are you now? Do you need me to pick you up?"
"No need for that, we...we're on the way home." Jungkook paused for a second mid-sentence.
Taehee did not doubt the truth of his words. "Good, I'm packing up my clothes. We'll meet in the little residential area, alright dear?"
Taehee began counting her items after the phone call ended. Her decision to move into that residential area has been solidified. There were so many people from the ancient martial arts world living there anyways! She wanted to join in on the fun!
"Madam, Miss Jeon Tzuyu has arrived." Into her room walked the butler.
Taehee furrowed her brows. Ever since the turmoil from before, Tzuyu had never set foot on the Jeon family's soil. So what was she doing here today?"
"I don't want to see her." Taehee gave her reply bluntly.
The butler acknowledged her answer. "Madam, Miss Jeon Tzuyu has now reached level 62 in the Trial Tower. I'm afraid this may not be the best response we can give." Even though he too, disliked Tzuyu.
"Fine, let her in." Taehee massaged her temples as she plopped down on the sofa.
Tzuyu noticed the baggage next to Taehee the moment she stepped into the room. It took her a while to register what was going on. "Madam Jeon, this is..."
"I'm going to meet my daughter-in-law." Taehee flashed her a smile. "My Jungkook's bringing her home today."
***
Taehee's words overwhelmed Tzuyu.
What had Mrs. Jeon just said? Who was she going to meet again?
Tzuyu was flustered and frustrated at the same time. She originally thought that her outstanding achievement at the Trial Tower was enough to grant her Mrs. Jeon's attention. The entire ancient martial arts world had even started sending her gifts. And yet, the Jeon family, who she desired to see the most was nowhere in sight.
Plucking up her courage, she arrived at the Jeon family's manor. As expected, their guards did not chase her away. Instead, it was Taehee's words that caused her heart to throb in pain.
"Mrs. Jeon, what are you talking about?" Sucking up the stabbing pain in her heart, she started questioning.
A sour feeling rose in her heart. Questions started racing through her mind. Although Murong Irene had been improving lately, she was only around level 50. Apart from that, she had constantly remained at the Trial Tower recently so the chances of her being the one is close to null.
Who then, was she talking about?
Jungkook had not been in the ancient martial arts world recently. In fact, she had caught wind of him working with the Americans to investigate the recent turmoil here.
Just this noon, the Elder's Association had sent a team to the deserts of the North-West.
Taehee quite obviously was not going to talk to Tzuyu for any longer. Ever since the last incident, she had come to understand that Tzuyu was only keeping up an act. Her would-be daughter-in-law was only a regular human being and could not compare to Tzuyu, for now. Taehee responded with a blunt reply, "You've never met her before. But you will get the chance to see her more often in the future."
"Alright, we'll leave right after we're done packing. Jungkook's returning soon." Taehee couldn't wait to meet her daughter-in-law.
Tzuyu dug her nails into the flesh of her palm as she watched the butler stuff gift after gift into a suitcase.
How would she not recognize the value of these treasured items? They were all magical defense weapons.
Tzuyu stood there, frozen in place as Taehee's pearly white car disappeared into the distance. A couple of minutes later, Jeon Lian walked up to her with surprise on his face. "Tzuyu, I saw you walk out with Madam Jeon earlier?" Did that mean that relations with Master Jeon and his family would return to normal?
After the previous incident, Jeon Lian did not dare to linger around the ancient martial arts world. After all, Jungkook held too much significance here; he'd get laughed at no matter where he went.
However, public opinion about him changed when news of Tzuyu's advance in the Trial Tower spread. Still, it didn't mean that they had forgotten about the past.
"No," Tzuyu looked away. "Has there been any news lately about the ancient martial arts world?"
The selection stage for Trial Tower was nearing. She and Irene both spent most of their time in the Trial Tower, honing their combat skills. They were completely cut off from the outside world during this period. Taehee's attitude definitely got her attention. She knew the lady well and there was no way she'd be this excited for some plain Jane.
"There are two actually." Jeon Lian thought about the flaming hot rumor that had started to spread around the ancient martial arts today. "The first one is that the Jeon family elder has sent an elite squad into the north-western desert. I'm guessing that something big must've happened there. The second news is that Cecily has returned."
Tzuyu was familiar with the name Cecily. Although she didn't bear any hard feelings toward Irene, it was the opposite for Cecily.
In the rating tournament three years ago, Cecily got the first place and managed to climb up to top 10 of the youth ranking list. Because of this, she was given one-twelfth of the entire world's resources. After three years, Tzuyu had no idea how much she had grown.
"Tzuyu, you're already on level 62 now. Cecily definitely won't be comparable to you in the future." Jeon Lian was very confident in his daughter's abilities. "You'd undoubtedly earn Madam Jeon's respect then."
Tzuyu's confidence swelled up upon hearing her father's words of reassurance.
Turning around, she headed for the Trial Tower.
***
After the both of them left, a third figure emerged from behind. Hanbin narrowed his eyes as he watched Tzuyu walk off into the distance. "Lili did say that she'd send a child to the ancient martial arts world. I wonder if he's here already?"
"Oh he's here already." The boy was sent to the Baili family manor somewhere around noon by Miss Cecily." Uncle Tai followed behind Hanbin. He smiled when he thought about the child from before. "The kid's got talent that's for sure. He's pretty adorable too."
"Very well." Hanbin chuckled. He picked up his phone and checked the message that Lisa sent him. "Let's head home, it won't be long till she arrives."
Uncle Tai remained behind Hanbin. "Shouldn't we inform the patriarch about this? He's been wanting to meet Miss Lalisa for a long time now. He'd even ordered me to give these items to Miss Lalisa today."
After that, he showed Hanbin the bags he was holding. These were all presumably precious items that Lisa was looking for and which Sungwoong wanted her to have.
Hanbin used to be treated like this by the old man. Seems like Lisa did a pretty good job replacing him.
"I doubt that he has the guts though. Even if she agreed to meet him, I don't think he'd respond in the same way." Hanbin shook his head.
Uncle Tai pondered in his mind for a moment before speaking. "The young lady came looking for me just now. She doesn't seem particularly happy today."
Hanbin's expression darkened the moment he heard Uncle Tai mention Hyekyo. After a long pause, Uncle Tai heard the soft sound of conversation coming from a distance away. "Not every mistake will be forgiven. If Lili had not met Jungkook, or if she was just another regular girl, have you any idea what would become of her today?"
Uncle Tai did not respond to his question. He had read through Lisa's records. Judging by how vicious the Manoban family was, if she were just an average Jane, she wouldn't even be given a piece of bone to gnaw on during mealtime.
Recalling how thin Miss Lalisa was, Uncle Tai felt a pain in his heart. All of a sudden, Hyekyo didn't seem as pitiful as that poor young lady.
"Young Master, I have a feeling that things aren't as simple as they seem to be. Of all the people, why does it have to be the young lady? Fu Yeri too." The more Uncle Tai thought about the matter, the more it came across as bizarre. However, he still could not place his finger on a specific point where the particular problem was. Yeri's identity had been exposed, while Hyekyo's memories had yet to return. A chill crept up Uncle Tai's spine as he recalled how the Baili family had declined in recent years. "Perhaps, someone was deliberately..." Sabotaging them?
Uncle Tai felt a sense of unease sweep over him when realization set in.
Hanbin glanced at Uncle Tai for less than a second before he lifted up his phone and texted Lisa. "Uncle Tai, do you believe that man can triumph over heaven?"
In the face of a great power, conspiracy and tricks were nothing but a joke. He did not believe in fate, what more to say of a creator? The reason why he was able to stand up again was due to his own will. Was there anything that he did not have control over?
"That's enough, let's go pick up some fresh greens at the market." Hanbin popped the car door open and left the vehicle. "Having been stranded out in the middle of a desert for so many days, Lili probably hasn't tasted good food since then. We should get more stuff this time."
Uncle Tai forgot about his question the moment they switched over to another topic. "I know this shop that sells mighty good roasted ducks. It's Miss Lalisa's favorite too. Oh right, I still have to notify Mrs. Zhang to not get any groceries since we have that handled..."
***
By now, Lisa was already on the outskirts of Beijing.
The helicopter was pretty bulky and Lisa did not intend to maneuver it right into the middle of the city. Instead, she looked for whatever open space was available for her to land on. After that, she summoned her little pink car, which she had not driven in ages.
Jungkook whipped out his phone and made a phone call to inform headquarters about the chopper's whereabouts before heading toward Lisa's little pink car.
"Let's go." He slid into the driver's seat without hesitation. After all, this car was picked by him for Lisa as a gift.
Lisa took out her phone and sent a message to Director Cheng. "Will arrive in half an hour." She then peered up. "Brother Jungkook, I've always wondered why you picked this car for me back then?"
"Do you hate it?" Jungkook looked back at her seriously.
"Not really..." She had asked this question multiple times in the past but she was still puzzled as to why he had to pick such a girly color for her.
Jungkook laughed when he saw the confused look in her eyes. "Well, the decision was made in your best interest, I guess."
He didn't think much about it back then. All he wanted was to alter the course of her life as her face-reading was that of a person who would face premature death. To be precise, she would not live past the age of 24. The thought of this made him tighten his grip on the steering wheel.
Still, he failed to foresee that whenever she's behind the wheel, there would always be youngsters trying to approach her.
The more he thought about it, the worse Jungkook's facial expression became.
Lisa stopped fiddling with her phone when she heard Jungkook's reply. Through the corner of her eye, she stole a glance at his smooth-shaven face. Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing what he said. He didn't seem to be joking too.
Lisa reached up and pinched the middle of his brows which was scrunched up tightly.
"Hey! Good heavens!" Jungkook slammed his foot on the brake pedal, causing the vehicle to almost crash into a nearby streetlamp. He was stupefied by what she had just done. "I'm still driving."
Could you not make me lose focus?
Lisa: "... drive on then."
The annual Hundred Flowers Award would be held in the Imperial Capital. Director Cheng and Brother Sejin had already contacted her a few days ago. Both projects, which Lisa worked in had been accepted into the selection process, one being 'River's Lake' and the other, 'Empire Under Siege'. She was nominated for the best supporting actress as well as the best rookie-actress award. Although there were no guarantees that she would end up with the award, merely being mentioned was already more than sufficient to endorse her skill in acting.
To be honest, Cheng Zhou wanted to put forth the Xianxia epic 'Divergent Paths' for the selection process as he felt that Lisa would easily win an award or two with it. However, this was turned down by Lisa herself. Not only that, she had even threatened the director to not release the film.
This had resulted in a fight almost spilling out between her and Cheng Zhou. In the end, he reached a final conclusion-Lisa was a creature almost impossible to deal with.
The pink car rolled to a stop not far away from where the award ceremony was being held. Lisa excited the car while Jungkook rested his arm on top of the door. "Call me when you're about to leave at night. I have something to deal with now so I won't be accompanying you."
Jungkook watched as Lisa marched off before he started driving away. Picking up his phone he noticed that there was a new notification.
[Little Psycho: I have already left the ancient martial arts world. Where are you?]
[Jungkook: Sending off the little princess to the award ceremony.]
[Little Psycho: Princess?]
[Jungkook: That's right ^_^]
Jungkook squinted at the screen and contemplated for a while before proceeding to drive off. How should he coolly introduce Lisa to his mother? This was a major pain in the butt. The problem now was that Lisa was still kept in the dark from his mother. Would she beat him to death when the cat is finally let out of the bag?
Here on the other side, Lisa was walking toward the entrance of the hall where the ceremony was held.
Because a lot of celebrities would be attending today's event, both sides of the entrance were jam-packed with fans, all raising different plaques for whichever celebrity they were worshipping. Lisa looked over and spotted a group of fans gathered nearest to the entrance. They all were raising advertisement plaques with the names 'Ning Jieun' and 'Baby Jieun' on them. Although their group wasn't as large as Seokjin's fans, it was still of considerable size.
Lisa was satisfied with what she saw.
She then made her approach in that direction, trying to break through the crowd at that point.
"Ah... sorry!" One of the fangirls had been shoved around when she accidentally stepped on someone else's foot. She instantly looked up to apologize.
"No worries." The voice that replied to her sounded clear and elegant.
Her voice filled her heart with a hard-to-describe sense of warmth. She peered up to get a better glimpse of what this lady looked like.
Under the cold sunlight, she was able to make out a face that was so beautiful that it was impossible to describe using mere words. She seemed more like an artwork than an actual human being. The girl was sporting a baseball cap and despite standing extremely near to each other, she couldn't get a clear view of her eyes no matter how hard she tried.
Amidst the misty atmosphere, she sensed a pair of bright eyes looking back at her.
"I take it you are a fan of Ning Jieun?" Lisa glanced at her plaque which read "Baby Jieun".
Out of embarrassment, the fangirl hugged the plaque in an attempt to hide it from Lisa. "Yeah I've always been a fan of her since she debuted. Seeing so many people supporting her makes me happy. Are you a fan of Baby Jieun too? I wonder if I can get her autograph today."
"I'm sure you will." Lisa smiled at her. "Let me help you with that."
The fan girl's face turned beet red. She thought Lisa was only teasing her. "Um, no need for that."
Their short conversation was overheard by the surrounding fans. They all looked at each other with the same look of contempt in their eyes.
You can help her with that? Who are you? Jieun's best friend? Maybe you're taking this silly act a little too far? You think Baby Jieun will answer to your call like anybody else?
Girl 1: "..."
Girl 2: "She said she's gonna get Baby Jieun's autograph."
Girl 3: "I heard that she's Baby Jieun's friend?"
Boy 1: "You girls..."
Lisa: "..."
'You girls w-h-a-t? Little punk! Say the wrong thing and I'll pummel you!' Looking over, she recognized Jieun and Seokjin's car arriving in a two-car-convoy.
She patiently made it to the cordon and swiftly got past it by simply bowing down slightly.
