"I will show Lisa her room," Jungkook's mother said after the wonderful lunch.

"I'm sure she's a bit tired and would like to rest a little," added Jungkook's mother.

Lisa looked at Jungkook who smiled at her and said, "I'll check on you later. I have something to discuss with Grandpa about the ranch."

Lisa nodded and quietly followed Jungkook's mom. For the first time in her life, she did not know what to do. She couldn't even open up simple conservation.

She had already praised Mrs. Lim's cooking during their lunch. And they had already talked about her meeting Lyra in the City.

'Shall I say that the house is nice?' she mused but chose not to talk at all because of the awkward silence.

As they walked up to the stairs, Jungkook's mother talked, "Did Jungkook tell you that our family came from nothing. But because of Jungkook's hard work and sacrifices, we've come this far. This villa, the ranch… It's all Jungkook's sweat and blood."

Lisa bit her lip and answered, "Yes, Ma'am, I'm well aware of it and I also admire him more because he is a responsible man and dotes on his family."

Jungkook's mother did not respond as they walked through the hallway.

"It's one of the guest rooms, and I hope you'll be comfortable," Sheila said as she went inside the room. It was an elegant room that boasted high ceiling, fireplace, and a balcony.

Jungkook mother walked to the balcony.

"This place is a nest. A total escape from stress…" Lisa commented unconsciously as she followed Mrs. Lim to the balcony and looked at the extraordinary garden view outside.

The house was very big and impressive from the outside. But the most important thing was that she could feel the soul of a family at Jungkook's home. Later, she would ask Jungkook to tour her inside his home, then at the whole land to see his ranch.

Her thoughts of the various activities she would love to do with Jungkook were interrupted when Mrs. Lim straightforwardly asked, "Do your family know about Jungkook's background. That he came from a poor family?"

Lisa gulped because she could now get what was the reason for the sudden change of Jungkook's mother's mood when she learned that she was Field Marshal Chan's daughter. Their family had already been well-known because of their family assets even before her dad actually accepted the position of Field Marshal.

"Yes, Ma'am, they know everything," Lisa answered.

This time Mrs. Lim turned to Lisa and intently looked at her.

"They had him investigated? Made a background check?" Mrs. Lim asked directly.

Though surprised with the direct question, Lisa answered immediately with a hand gesture, "Oh, no, Ma'am, please don't misunderstand. My parents will never do that. Actually, Jungkook is more like a son to my dad. He admires how Jungkook perseveres and he said that Jungkook was the best among the students he had so far. He also often mentions that Jungkook was the kind of a son who he longed for," explained Lisa as she believed what her father thought of Jungkook.

"To be honest, Ma'am, I was the one who had an investigation on Jungkook as soon as I met him," Lisa confessed, a bit bashful as she slightly bowed her head.

Then she continued, "It's because I fell in love at first sight, so I had him investigated to know him more and more like to stalk him."

Mrs. Lim was startled but remained quiet and looked at Lisa's embarrassed face.
