Cup of Happiness

In the early morning of the weekend, Lisa and Jungkook returned to Lisa's parents' home together. Before leaving, Mrs. Jeon packed a bunch of gifts in the car and told Lisa to give them to her father and mother. Lisaa wasn't pretentious and thanked her in-laws, then loaded them all into the car.

An hour later, the two arrived at the Manoban's home. Marco and his wife, Sara, had been waiting at the door for a long time. Looking at the Audi vehicle from afar, they greeted them with a smile.

"Jungkook." As soon as the car stopped, Mrs. Manoban went up to help Jungkook open the passenger seat's door.

Jungkook got out of the car, looked at Mrs. Manoban for a while, before slowly spitting out three words.

"Thank you, mom."

Although these three words were spoken in two separate segments, this kind of autonomous conversation was extremely rare for Jungkook, who has autism. Mrs. Manoban understood that and naturally she was extremely excited.

"Ai ya, Jungkook thanked me. Honey, did you hear it just now?" Mrs. Manoban turned to ask her husband who was standing next to her.

"I heard it, you move fast." Mr. Manoban was very depressed. He clearly stood closer to the car. If he had just opened the door just now, his "thank you" would have been for him.

Jungkook paused, glanced at his father-in-law, and called out, "Dad."

"Hey!" Mr. Manoban was instantly healed, and his eyes happily narrowed into a smile like his wife.

On the other side of the car, Lisa, who hadn't had her parents' attention for a long time, couldn't help but "be jealous": "Look at you two's attentiveness. If I didn't know your son-in-law came to visit you, I would have thought it was the leader who came to visit."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Manoban only gave her daughter a minuscule of attention.

"Where am I talking nonsense? The car wasn't even parked yet, and you helped opened the door. No mother-in-law opens the door for her son-in-law."

"How can Jungkook be the same?"

"Why is it different? Can't my family's Jungkook open the door..?"

"Yes!" When Mrs. Manoban, who was about to speak to spite her daughter, unexpectedly Jungkook spoke first.

"..........."

Since this step was demolished, Lisa happily bent over on the spot. The Manoban family's elders were stunned for a while, then laughed along with their daughter. Their family's son-in-law was special, but his reaction speed towards their daughter was really fast, which was no different from ordinary people. In this way, their worries in their hearts lightened.

Mrs. Manoban even admitted to Jungkook: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have opened the door for you."

"It doesn't matter." Although he didn't take offense and his mother-in-law apologized, Jungkook felt that he still had to forgive her.

Lisa was done with the greetings. She opened the trunk and pulled out a large number of gifts. There were different color bags that could be casually picked and there was more than a dozen.
