"There are no inseparable couples, only a homewrecker who's not hardworking enough. So... in order to be a professional homewrecker, you must dismantle the relationship," Taehyung encouraged.

"You're the fucking professional homewrecker. Stop bullshitting me and focus on driving. Don't drive into a tree." Jimin smacked Taehyung across his head.

Taehyung chuckled...

It was a miracle that Lisa didn't get drunk from all that alcohol.

There were so many things weighing her heart down, too many burdens she couldn't and didn't want to voice.

When the taxi driver asked for her destination, she was momentarily speechless.

Was she supposed to go to Imperial Park? She didn't want to. Her old house? No one was there.

"Miss, where would you like to go?" the taxi driver continued to ask.

"Just circle around the city," Lisa said with slight sadness.

The taxi circled around the city, round and round, for more than an hour...

Finally, Lisa said, "Head to Asan medical center."

The taxi stopped at the hospital entrance. As Lisa got out, a cold breeze came up at her and she tightened her collar...

She had turned off her cell phone and was unaware of the number of phone calls Jungkook had made.

After his drinking session with Bambam, Jungkook returned home. At the sight of his empty house, he felt the same void in his heart.

He tried to call Lisa but her phone was still off.

He also tried to send her WeChat messages but she didn't reply, leaving him in even more distress.

Finally, he took a bottle of red wine off of the wine rack and began drinking again...

– At the entrance to the hospital's VIP room –

Lisa stood at the entrance, pacing back and forth, too afraid to go in.

She heard Haruto say that her mother was awake, but... she was suddenly too afraid to face her.

"Noona...? Why are you standing here?" Haruto was just about to call Lisa when he saw her smoking at the entrance.

He immediately took away her cigarette. "Don't smoke, it'll give you lung cancer."

"Don't worry," Lisa replied faintly.

"Noona... did you drink?" Haruto furrowed his brows at the pungent alcoholic smell reeking from his sister.

Lisa didn't reply. She leaned her back against the hallway wall and sighed.

"Mom is awake. Her mood is pretty stable, she's not as bad as you think. Although she hasn't mentioned you, I can feel that she wants to see you."

"I'm scared," Lisa spoke frankly.

"Even if Mom is mad at you, she still loves you very much. You can't avoid seeing her forever,?right?"

Although he was young, Haruto's words always made a lot of sense.

Lisa remained silent...

"Noona... are you really going to leave Jungkook hyung because of this?"

"I don't know yet."

"I really don't want you guys to break up. You've already missed out on seven years, don't waste another seven years just because your families don't get along. Life is short, how many seven-years do you have to throw away?"
