"Oh. I had a small accident. I'm fine so I didn't tell you, but the car got scratched," Lisa said carefully, occasionally stealing a glance at Jungkook in case he found out that she was lying...
"I'm glad you're fine. Drive carefully."
"Okay." Lisa nodded and sighed with relief.
"I'll order you a new car with better safety features. Forget the old car."
"But."
"No buts, just accept it." Jungkook stopped her rejection in its tracks.
"Okay, thank you." Lisa hung around his neckline and giggled like an innocent child.
Since they both woke up late, they ended up skipping breakfast. Lisa hopped into Jungkook's Maybach and was soon on her way to work.
By the time Lisa got to her office, some take-out breakfast was already on her desk.
"Head Nurse, someone just delivered it."
At a glance, Lisa knew it was Jungkook who had sent the delivery from the brand of soymilk and deep-fried dough sticks. Only he knew which restaurant and what kind of food she liked.
During lunchtime, Lisa picked up a call from Haruto.
"Noona, hurry home, something happened."
Lisa drove home immediately in fear that her mother needed her. However, before she even arrived at the door, she saw the notices of demolishment on the house walls.
"Ruto, what's going on?"
Lisa quickly walked in and saw Haruto sitting down by the tree within the courtyard with their mother.
Their mother was bawling while Haruto comforted her.
"Noona, our house is being demolished."
"Demolished?" Lisa froze.
"Yes. Apparently, a company bought the land. They want to make this area into an office building. If it was just a simple demolishment, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the reimbursement they gave us was very low. Our house plus the garden is only around a hundred square meters, so it would only be two hundred-or-so thousand, that they will compensate. With that amount of money, we wouldn't even be able to afford a down payment anywhere in the city. Mom, auntie Song, and the others are reluctant to move and decided to stay and protest, but some mobsters came and vandalized our place. They threatened to mow us down with a tractor if we refused to move."
"That's ridiculous! Those assholes! Who gave them the right to do so?" Lisa was sad and angry at the same time. She never thought the things she saw on the news would ever happen to her one day.
"Mom, don't be scared. I won't let them get what they want."
"We shouldn't mess with those scoundrels. It's okay, I'm old, it's not a big deal anymore. But it's your brother and your safety that I'm worried about. I can go talk to Auntie Song, we'll move for whatever they are offering. We don't have a choice."
"Mom, no. This is not about the money, it's about our rights. I won't tolerate it. Don't worry, let me handle it."Lisa got up as she finished speaking...
She was just about to call Jungkook and ask him to find out the name of the company when Haruto wandered over and whispered to her, "Noona, do you know the company that is looking to demolish our place?"
"Don't tell me it's JC," fear crept up on her as she asked.
"How can it be? What are you thinking! Jungkook hyung wouldn't do that." Haruto smiled.
