Jungkook took advantage of Lisa who hesitated because she was surprised to see someone else in the room and whispered softly in her ear.

And why? What's wrong? Lisa's temper almost rose again, but she immediately fell silent seeing the people looking at her.

"This is the woman you asked about earlier, Grandfather."

Lisa widened her eyes at the word 'grandfather' coming out of Jungkook's mouth.

A grandfather and grandmother who were unmistakably Jungkook's family, looked at Lisa sharply and slowly approached her. A woman she met yesterday at the wedding also looked at her.

What's going on? Why are they gathered here? Didn't this man expect that she would come to see him today? The panic that now suppresses her anger makes Lisa look at Jungkook who still looks calm and relaxed, not the slightest panic on his face.

"Hey, Jungkook-ssi."

"Take it easy. It's good that you came."

Jungkook said gently, but Lisa couldn't calm down at all.

Lisa's anger suddenly disappeared at the sharp and curious gazes of Jungkook's family members directed at her. Lisa now really felt embarrassed and confused. She wanted to leave immediately and disappear from that place, but Jungkook's hand holding her shoulder tightly seemed to not allow her to leave.

Lisa who couldn't do anything finally sat down on the chair Jungkook had prepared and only then did the man's hand come off her shoulder. Instantly, the cold air in the room seeped into Lisa's body.

"So, you're Jungkook's lover?"

"I told you earlier."

"I didn't ask you."

As soon as Jungkook answered Director Jeon's question, Mrs. Hwang immediately replied seriously. Only then did Jungkook fall silent, while Lisa cowered even more in fear.

Even though this woman is now nervous and scared, Jungkook is confident that Lisa can get through this situation well because this woman is a brave and strong woman.

If this woman has the courage to face Jungkook, she must also have the courage to face Jungkook's grandfather.

It's possible that Lisa's unexpected arrival today will actually make things easier. For himself and for Shin Hee. Of course this would be detrimental to the woman, but Jungkook didn't want to miss this opportunity at all.

"My name is Lalisa Manobal."

After bowing and saying her greetings, Lisa looked at Jungkook's grandparents' faces. Upon seeing their faces, the first thought that came to her mind was that he must look like his father.

Then, when that man grows old, he will definitely look just like the old grandfather with the piercing eyes in front of her right now.

"Ehem, then, who are your parents?"

As if ignoring Lisa's polite greeting, Mrs. Hwang, President Jeon's wife, immediately asked the question that Lisa had heard the other day at the wedding. For these people, the background of their parents seems to be very important.

"Yes?"

"You're making me impatient. You don't understand my questions. I just asked you what your parents do."

A question of formality. Just looking at Lisa's shabby T-shirt and torn jeans, they should have been able to figure out what her parents did for a living.

"Both my parents passed away."

Mrs. Hwang asked irritably, and a panicked Lisa immediately answered the question.
