Blind Date Gone Wrong || JenLisa

Chapter Eighteen

The next night
Guest bedroom, Lee Homestead

Lisa stared at the unfamiliar wooden ceiling before her as she lay on her bed. The trip to Busan didn't take a long time. It was her second visit to the town. The first being a memorable worst event in the thai's life.

The thai finally got to meet the sisters' Aunt Dara and Uncle Jiyong, thanking them for welcoming her for the holidays. She was really used to spending Christmas and New Year's Eve alone, but a little company wouldn't hurt. The old pair were really hospitable. It would be a nice change for once.

Lisa and Jennie still hadn't talked to each other after last Sunday night's conversation. She didn't really mind. She had accepted the fact that Jennie would not do anything to act on her feelings. Besides, Ten's also visiting the brunette in Busan. And most importantly, Lisa promised Irene that she would behave for the latter's sake.

After texting Irene that they have already arrived in Busan, Lisa gave in to sleep.

The next day
Dining room, Lee Homestead

"How was your sleep, dear?" Dara asked the following morning. The wooden rectangular table was filled with an inordinate amount of food - sunny side eggs, fried bacon, salad, apple pie, and a lot of other things Lisa did not know of.

Lisa smiled at the woman and replied, "It was good, actually. I didn't have trouble sleeping, which I usually do in a stranger's house. Thank you again for letting me stay during the holidays."

"Oh, this young lady. Of course, any friend of these two is a friend of mine and Jiyong," Dara replied. Jiyong smiled as he devoured a big slice of pie into his mouth.

The thai glanced at Jennie who was seated in front of her and she caught her staring back. Jennie quickly looked down on her plate that was filled with salad and carrots.

"Oh, this is so fun, Hotpants, we're going to Shorty's later tonight, and I'm not taking no for an answer," Chahee said, then looking at Jennie. "And you too, Nini."

The shorter brunette scoffed then complained about having a video call with Ten, which led to Dara asking who Ten was. And Lisa really pretended she was interested with the entire conversation but she had already learned how to silence everything that would pass through her eardrums. Which was why when Jiyong asked Lisa if she too has a boyfriend, the thai didn't notice.

"What?" Lisa absentmindedly asked.

Chahee laughed beside her. "Lisa's dating a hot chick, Uncle Jiyong. You should have seen her... Hotdamn here has good taste."

"Chahee, language," Dara said, but smiling just the same. Jiyong apologized for her assumption. And Lisa and Jennie's gaze met for the second time.

Minutes later
Kitchen, Lee Homestead

"Dear, dear, it's really not necessary, you should go enjoy your vacation, I can handle the dishes," Dara said, standing behind Lisa.

Lisa chuckled as she maintained her stance by the sink. "I refuse, Ma'am. It's the least I can do for you all for letting me stay here."

"Oh, this sweet kid, you know you don't have to, right?"

"Well, my mom used to taught me that I have to help back in any way possible those who have helped me," Lisa answered.

Dara smiled at her then wiped her hands on her apron. "What a nice mother she was... Jennie told me. I'm sorry if I brought it up.."

Lisa shook her head. "No, it's okay, Ma'am-"
