Chapter 24

Side Story One

Mrs. Jeon cleaned a cupboard in her bedroom. But she pulled a jammed drawer and her family birth record accidently fell on top of her head.

Mr. Jeon walked into his bedroom and he saw his wife sat dazed on the bed. 'What are you doing?'

Mrs. Jeon lifted her head and she passed her husband their family birth record.

Mr. Jeon read their family birth record and he became dazed as his wife. There was an unexpected new addition to their family - 'Lalisa Manoban, daughter-in-law.'

Mr. Jeon quickly regained his senses. He patted his wife's shoulder and he smiled. 'I think you should ask-'

Mrs. Jeon got off the bed and she grabbed her family birth record from her husband. 'Ok, I'm going downstairs to ask little sister.'

Mrs. Jeon ran downstairs and she rang the doorbell. 'Little sister, open the door. Big news, big bad news...'

Upstairs Mr. Jeon shook his head helplessly. He picked up the fallen documents on the floor and he put it back on top of the cupboard. He mumbled to himself. 'If you ask our son then you can confirm the news faster.'

Mrs. Manoban kneaded dough in the kitchen. She heard the doorbell and she ran to open the front door. 'What big bad news?'

Mrs. Jeon waved her family birth record in front of Mrs. Manoban. 'It's big news, good news but also a little bad news.'

Mrs. Manoban didn't know what happened from head to tail and she panicked. 'What happened that's good and bad?'

'Little sister, did you check your family birth record after Jungkook updated it for you?' Mrs. Jeon asked.

Mrs. Manoban shook her head. 'Jungkook is always responsible, I don't need to check it.'

Mrs. Jeon didn't know what to say. She opened her family birth record and she gave it to Mrs. Manoban. 'Take a look.'

Mrs. Manoban stared at the word daughter-in-law. She took a deep breath, lifted her head and her eyes silently asked Mrs. Jeon if she saw daughter-in-law correctly. Mrs. Jeon nodded her head and they contemplated silently for a while.

'I'm going to kill the rabbit!' Mrs. Manoban said.

Mrs. Manoban ran into the kitchen. She grabbed a rolling pin and she ran to the front door. 'Don't worry I won't kill your little boy. I'll roll my little girl into minced meat.'

'Then my Jungkook will be a widower. The little girl is my daughter-in-law. Little sister, you're not allowed to hit my daughter-in-law,' Mrs. Jeon said.

Mrs. Manoban felt frustrated her daughter became someone's daughter-in-law without her permission and Mrs. Jeon didn't let her hit her daughter.

Mr. Manoban ran to the front door and he grabbed the rolling pin from his wife's hands. 'Shouldn't we ask them to explain this situation properly to us? Last time they stayed here for three days then they ran away. I knew they were up to something, it turns out they were hiding this.'

'Ok, I'm going to ask them on the phone,' Mrs. Manoban said.

Mr. Jeon ran downstairs and he stopped Mrs. Manoban from calling his son and daughter-in-law. 'Wait.'

'What are we waiting for? The last time the two of them came here was three months ago. That means the two of them have been secretly married for three months. If we don't expose their secret marriage now then they'll hide their marriage from us for years,' Mrs. Jeon said.
