On the 7th day at the 7th hour and 7th minute,

We will come.

Lalisa is frozen standing below the light holding the piece of white paper.

This is what Jungkook sees as he enters the place. He walks up to her back, holds her shoulders and turns her around. His black jacket collar is standing and his body seems to carry the coolness of the night. But his eyes are as dark as ever as he assesses her from head to toe. Only after confirming that she's fine that he presses her into his embrace.

"I'm fine," Lalisa says softly. She hugs him back as if it's the only thing that can comfort her heart. She holds the letter in front of Jungkook. Jungkook takes a look at it and then picks up the envelope on the coffee table. His expression is indifferent.

The forensic investigators from the station arrive quickly to examine the place. But just as they had expected, the young man who calls himself, A, did not leave behind any traces or fingerprint. The surveillance video in the area also did not capture him he must have gone around most of the cameras. As for the places that he had to have passed by, the cameras have all been damaged by someone last night.

It's already 3 to 4 am by the time the forensic investigators leave.

Lalisa sits on the couch with her arms crossed and not feeling the slightest bit of

tiredness. She thinks through every word that A said to her. Jungkook sees the officers out and closes the door. He looks down and sees that the wall has been punched through with the red wires that were connected to the alarm all in a mess.

He lifts his leg and gives them a kick, making the pile even messier. His actions make too much noise. Lalisa raises her head in surprise. She then sees him stuff both hands in his pockets and walks toward the study room with a cold face.

"Why are you throwing a temper at them?" Lalisa stares at his back, "They didn't want to be taken apart by someone either."

It's hard to blame him for being angry. The alarm system was set up by the forensic department. At the time, an officer he knows promised that this was the best security system in the nation and that it was top notched, unbeatable, blah, blah, blah.....

After a while, she sees him come out with one hand in his pocket walking toward her and then sitting down beside her.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll stay at the dormitory with you."

"Mm," Lalisa answers softly. It's just that she's quite depressed when thinking about that squeaky single bed. How should they sleep in it? What if it collapses.......

Just as she's thinking about a bunch of nonsense, Jungkook fetches something from his pants pocket and puts it into her palm.

It's a small gold color whistle with a necklace attached to it.

Lalisa's eyes sparkle until she feels it in her hands and says with a bit of disgust, "It's so poorly made."

Jungkook glances at her and then opens the spring ring clasp, "I got it when I graduated from the police academy. There were over 2000 students that year and only one golden whistle. Bend your head."

Lalisa lets out a, "Oh," and lets him put it on her. Since it's so meaningful and cool, she wants it now.

After finishing putting it on, she pulls her long hair upwards, revealing her neck. She poses proudly at him, "Look, doesn't it look good? Even when it's such an ugly necklace, I still look good in it."

Jungkook smiles. He places one arm on the armrest while he reaches over with the other and holds the whistle in front of her mouth, "From now on, no matter what happens, I will not leave the area of the sound of this whistle until we catch the seven-member organization. If I'm not beside you and you're in danger, blow on the whistle."
