Unbeknownst to the girls. A woman was watching them, her graceful figure showed on a window from within the mansion.

Her gaze contained confusion, stemming from the unknown familiarity she felt within her.

She looked at her daughter entering the mansion and immediately felt relief wash over her. It was the first time the young one stayed out this late and she couldn't help but worry. After the horrible kidnapping incident that happened when Jennie was a still a child, she couldn't help but become even more protective of her. Her guilt from failing to protect her daughter nearly sent her into a depressive state.

She took a deep breath as she headed towards their bed. No matter how much her husband convinced her that Jennie was in the safest hands around the Manoban's young miss, as a mother she still couldn't help but worry.

Lisa rubbed the space between her brows, processing all the things Rosie, said.

"What do I do, then?" She asked the girl who was still looking at her blood sample. The redhead slowly looked at her.

"Our acupuncture session just reorganized your qi and cleared up most of the pent up abnormalities. So, for now, you need a release to eject all of it completely out of your body. That way, you won't be experiencing these attacks for a while." Rosé shrugged as she disposed of the sample from the microscope.

Lisa raised a brow at her best friend. In all of her attacks history, there were only two ways this so called 'release' could be executed...

homicidal or carnal,

..and the same person had recently just forbid her of doing the first method.

Rosie kept all the needles to one side, preparing to sterilize them. She felt Lisa's gaze on her so she looked back at the blonde.

"What?"

Lisa was silent for a moment before asking,

"Should I go, and accept a mission now?"

"Yeah, what else?" The redhead asked, perplexed.

"You just told me not to, yesterday."

"That was because you might just lose your mind again in the process. Accepting a kill mission with uncontrollable bloodlust might end up with you killing everyone in the scene, including the harming of any random innocent civilian you might possibly encounter along the way." Rosie explained in a serious tone.

"You know what happened before." She continued as she sighed.

Lisa's body went stiff for a second. She then lowered her head in guilt. Rosie patted the blonde's shoulder, comforting her.

"Get going, any more delays and that won't be too good." 

"..hmm"

Lisa nodded as she pulled out her phone and opened an app with an animated logo of a cloaked skull and a scythe.

As the app was in the middle of opening, she pressed her index finger at the phone's fingerprint scanner. If this was not done, the app would only display a normal game, but when the fingerprint is recognized by the program, it would flash a login form that lasts only within 45 seconds.

She typed in her codename along with her login password.

She then went to her inbox and found a document file. It was the kill mission recommended to her a few days ago. Coincidentally, the target was currently in Seoul as well. She opened the target profile and it fit her M.O. of targeting scumbags perfectly so she didn't hesitate to attempt a press on the accept button.

But before she could do so, she felt her heartbeat rise rapidly . Her eyes were beginning to form a tint of red again. Nerves surroundings her brown orbs tightened, bloodred filling the sclera of her eyes. Killing intent leaked from her very being.

Rosie, whose back was facing Lisa, suddenly stood frozen when she felt this highly familiar, highly terrifying presence. She felt her heart drop into the abyss whenever this happened. It was as if she was in the presence of an enormous, vicious, and murderous monster. She didn't even have the strength to turn around, she slowly closed her eyes tightly as her body started trembling visibly, oozing cold sweat in the process.

Lisa could feel something within her, attempting to get out. This strike of bloodlust wasn't like the usual ones she experienced, where a sudden burst of need-to-kill overwhelms her.

No, this time, it felt more of a summon. There was a distinct calling, there was something from the depths of her very being, triggered into responding to this call.

The sensation of being beckoned was getting stronger. Her veins pulsated, the recently calmed energy flow, going berserk once again, and the abnormalities meant to be ejected was constantly being exuded out of her body.

Lisa shifted her deadly gaze towards a certain direction out of pure instinct.

Jennie laid down on her bed, she took a hot shower and had just finished drying her hair. She stared at the ceiling, recollecting everything that happened during the day.

She was very happy that she actually got to meet the Rosé. She had been admiring the designer since she was a kid. Rosé released three to five works per year, so the rarity of a Rosé piece was apparent. She herself only had five of those herself. She was then suddenly curious about the 'project' Jisoo talked about. 

When she thought of Jisoo, her mind whirled to the slender figure of a blonde. She looked so beautiful today. Her mind snapped the moment she finished the thought. 

Jennie blinked rapidly, she was perplexed at how the blonde affected her. The brunette closed her eyes as she thought of the new things she discovered about Lisa today.

The girl's angelic entrance in the classroom overshadowed the brunette's initial impression of the blonde's calm nature. Seeing Lisa being sweet and girly evoked a very familiar compelling emotion within her.

Her mind then flashed images of Lisa being stared at by her classmates, no matter the gender, all of them looked at the sweet blonde. Their gazes glittered with fascination and awe. Jennie felt pride randomly well up from within her.

However, when an image of infatuation in the eyes of  the crowd began flashing in her mind, her latent possessive instinct was suddenly poked.

Another image of Lisa flashed, she was smiling at Jisoo, along with a series of scenes with the two's interactions. Jennie unconsciously clenched her teeth as she scrunched her brows. 

Followed by another flash of Lisa and Rosé's hug at the airport and the intertwined hands.

Jennie saw the flashes of these images in her head, filling her up with an unknown emotion. The quiescent presence from within her could be felt gradually rousing. Her heartbeat, along with her blood circulation were
