A weekend later, Jungkook shows up at Lisa's house carrying a large suitcase bag that both Hee Won and Sung Won are surprised to see. Her younger sister still looks pretty, while her younger brother looks a bit stupid. Then, the little girl who is said to be her younger cousin looks very lively and brave.

Jungkook didn't greet the three pairs of eyes staring at him at all and immediately looked around the low-ceilinged house while frowning. The living room was very small with a dull blue three-person sofa and a table covered in a light blue, striped tablecloth located inside. One end of the living room was directly connected to the kitchen.

On the inside of the living room, next to the sliding door where the sunlight entered, there were several flower pots that made the room look even more cluttered. On the other side of the wall, hung an old family photo and some frames containing paintings that looked much older. Then, underneath was a round aquarium that made the living room look even more cramped.

"No, no."

Chi-chi who started shouting loudly at the arrival of the stranger immediately lowered her voice as soon as she met Jungkook and immediately averted her gaze. Meanwhile, Goliath initially sniffed Jungkook's leg which looked uncomfortable. Then, he rolled his tail on Jungkook's leg and began to play with him.

"It's so narrow."

"Don't protest so much. You're the one who wants to live here."

Lisa replied to Jungkook's quiet grumbling with coldness.

"Why did you come here, Ajusshi?"

"Your Unnie didn't tell you?"

Hee Won, who had calmed herself down at that moment, screamed softly again at the word 'Unnie' coming out of the man's mouth. It was as if the word 'Unnie' in that house symbolized a certain law and power.

"No, I told you I don't want to. I don't want to anyway. Unnie, I clearly told him that I don't want to."

Hee Won who felt guilty was busy reasoning with her sister with a trembling and frightened face. She didn't understand why that man was in her house right now.

"I know. He didn't come here because of you."

Actually, Lisa wanted to explain this situation to her younger siblings right away, but she knew that making her siblings understand this situation would not be easy.

She herself was constantly thinking about whether her decision was right or not all night long. Even now, it felt like she wanted to forget her agreement with this man. However, she knew that she could do nothing at the moment and had to accept this situation.

"I'm serious."

"Yes, I know too."

Even though Lisa nodded her head a thousand times and said that she knew, it seemed like Hee Won still didn't understand her words.

"Sorry, I didn't tell them you were coming."

Lisa sighed and apologized in a low voice to Jungkook who just silently watched Lisa's younger siblings panic.

"Your house is always crowded like this?"

"Sometimes."

Jungkook, who had been in the house for a while but had yet to introduce himself, shook his head impatiently.

Sung Won, whose behavior was sometimes just as disrespectful, realized that the man who came to his house was the one who placed the ad in the newspaper that day. The one who messed up his family. Then, why did his Noona bring that dangerous person into the house?
