Unexpectedly, on the other side, Jungkook only said quietly, "Stay away from that pervert Sehun from now on."

"-_-" All of a sudden, Lisa didn't know what to say.

"Did you hear me?" Jungkook warned her in a childish tone.

"Yes, I know."

"The funeral is at 7 AM right?"

"Yes." Lisa nodded.

"I will wait for you at the gates of the graveyard later."

"It's fine. I'm just going to head to work at the hospital after this."

"I already asked them to give you a day off. Come home and rest today."

"umm…" Lisa was again speechless.

This guy was fast. He had already asked the hospital to give her a day off.

But she was very curious. The clinic had been really busy recently, so why did the head nurse give her a day off so easily!

"The head nurse… did she approve my day off?" Lisa asked in disbelief.

However, Jungkook answered casually, "I called Director Jung. "

"Alright, you win." Lisa felt like all the blood in her body was going to coagulate after she heard that Jungkook called Director Jung.

A nobody nurse intern from the OB/GYN Department called the hospital director to ask for a day off... It was a leap to death.

On the other hand, based on Jungkook's social status, the director would probably even allow her to take an entire year off…

"Okay then, see you later." After they finished talking, Jungkook hung up the phone before Lisa could say anything else.

What a coincidence. After he hung up the phone, Lisa realized that her phone was dying.

Jungkook kept her company on the other side of the phone without falling asleep for an entire six or seven hours.

He was persistent...

Sometimes, Lisa had an illusion that Jungkook was still in love with her, even if he hadn't said so yet.

But it was only an illusion. Often, when she calmed down, Lisa would realize that they were both just unwilling to let go of the past.

He couldn't accept that he was dumped seven years ago. He couldn't accept that she broke up with him unilaterally.

The sky was dusky on the day of the funeral, and the wind was blowing hard. Lisa's heart felt very heavy.

There were about sixty people there, including the Oh family and their distant relatives. There were also over a hundred guests outside. Over a hundred black Mercedes-Benz followed each other in a grandiose fleet of cars; it was a spectacular scene. The car in the very front was a black Rolls Royce with grandma's portrait hanging on the front.

Everyone attending the funeral was wearing black, with white ribbons tied on one arm.

Reporters from several media sources followed the procession intently, making a scene.

Lisa wore a black dress and sunglasses, following the crowd as an inconspicuous existence.

Sehun, Hyunjae, Nancy, Mrs. Oh, and the mistress, sooyoung were on either side of Mr. Oh.

Of course, they were favored by the press…

Nancy's attitude had changed dramatically from the day before. Tears streamed from her red and puffy eyes, triggering sympathetic reactions.
