The next day.

Lisa was up early, and while Jisoo was usually a heavy sleeper, but she was especially excited with her mind full of Jungkook.

Nevertheless....

"Urfg, Mommy"

Soobin's face was pale white. His little back was arched, and he was holding his hands over his stomach.

"What happened!"

Lisa panicked and quickly crouched over him.

"Tummy hurts"

The little one tunneled into Lisa's embrace; his face was full of torment.

Lisa's heart ached. "Do you need the toilet? are you having an upset stomach?

"Umm, it doesn't feel like it. it just hurts"

"Mommy will get you to the hospital"

Lisa picked him up, ready to leave without an explanation.

"Mommy...." The tot pouted, pointing his two index fingers uncomfortably. "Maybe I got a chill yesterday because I did not put on a blanker last night"

"Why don't you listen to me?" Lisa scolded him grimly. "Didn't I tell you to keep your tummy covered no matter how hot it is!"

"Mommy, I was wrong...." The rim of the child's eyes was red and he was about to break into tears.

Jisoo came to him and soothed, "It's fine, it's fine. He's still a kid"

Lisa carried him to bed, filling a heat pack with warm water which was covered in a layer of blanket and put it over the child's stomach.

"Keep warm for a moment and don't have anything cool for the time being you hear me?"

Lisa's heart was in pieces at the sight of his suffering. Her nose was runny, as if she was about to cry too

"Okay, Mommy. Baby's feeling a little better" The little one snuggled up to her, his puppylike head rubbing against her chest. "But it still hurts a bit....I don't  want to go out....what should we do?"

"Alright, you're staying. I'll have Jisoo take care of you" Jisoo was as gentle as a dove.

"Not like this!" Jisoo exploded. "I want to meet President Jeon!"

Lisa looked up at her. "Who is more important, President Jeon or my son? You're my assistant, and you would eventually run into him in KBS if not today"

Jisoo was at once listless "Fine"

It was a no go then!

"Does it still hurt?" Lisa put her palm over the little one's stomach and rubbed it gently.

That Little boy shook his head and said endearingly, "Mommy, I want to sleep"

"Then sleep. Tell Jisoo if it hurts, understand?"

At the same time, Lisa felt very aggrieved with Jungkook.

She could have stayed home to care for her son if he did not force her to attend his engagement ceremony!

That despicable man.

The little one closed his eyes. It did not take long for his breath to even out and he fell asleep.

After Lisa cleared things up. she told Jisoo, "Sorry for the trouble. Take him to the hospital if he gets worse"

Jisoo bade her a tearful farewell. "Go Lili"

After Lisa left, Jisoo quietly closed his bedroom door after making sure he slept.

That was when the little brat abruptly opened his eyes. His eyes were lucid and there was no hint of pain at all.

Taking out his mobile phone, he dialed a number.  "Jungkook? Let's runnow!"

****

Jungkook was in a car. His eyes were closed for a brief rest on the way to the Lee family's house.

He remembered that young, tender voice.

It was Lisa's son.

However, he frowned at his choice of words. "What?"

What did 'Runnow' even mean?

Was that a new word?

"It means let us have a meeting" the tot said.

"And why should I meet you?"

He was nothing but a brat. Who did he think he was?

"If you don't meet me, I guarantee that you'll regret it for the rest of your life"

Why did the child speak Just like an adult?

Jungkook's eyes narrowed. "Give me a reason"

Usually, he would have hung up at once and wasted no more time with the conversation.

However, that child somehow kept his patient.

It was really bizarre.

"You'll know when you meet me" The tot said mysteriously. "I'll send you the address"

Jungkook could not say anything.

He was actually being manipulated by a brat.

Lisa herself was an unusual woman just as her son was an unusual child.

Truly, a family of singularities.

"Boss, what is it?" Bang Chan asked nosily as he drove.

Jungkook furrowed his brow as he stared at the address messaged to him. "Head to KTL cafe"

Foe some reason, he had the feeling that a mysterious force was leading him to a certain truth....
