"Hmm." With a smile on his face, Lisa lay on the bed with Jennie in his embrace.

His long fingers gently pushed her hair behind her ear.

Jennie listened intently to his heartbeat, the calm tempo making her feel at ease.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Lisa, could you...tell me about your mom? You seem unwilling to talk about her because every time she's mentioned, your mood immediately sours. You both..."

Jennie released a heavy breath and asked through gritted teeth, "What happened exactly?"

Lisa's hand that was running through her hair paused slightly before it pushed her hair behind her ear one last time. Lightly, his palm fell against her waist. "Her?"

Lisa scoffed coldly. "I have nothing to say about her."

Even if she knew that the dislike was not directed at her, Jennie still felt unhappy.

She stayed quiet for a moment before releasing herself from his embrace without saying a word.

Lisa watched her calmly, confusion flashing in his expression.

"Lisa, I may not know what happened between you and your mother that could have caused you such distaste when mentioning her. I won't start preaching that I hope to salvage the relationship you have with her either. This is your problem. She might've done something that you couldn't forgive, which is why you hate her so. But you're dating me now, you even talked about marrying me and spending the rest of your life with me. I am the same.

"So, I want to know everything about you. Whoever you hate, I'll hate with you; whoever you like, I'll like with you. I don't like that I only have a superficial knowledge about you right now. All of my affairs, be it good, bad, gratifying, embarrassing, you know like the back of your hand because I don't hide them from you. I originally thought that I understood you thoroughly but I realized that that isn't the case. Even that Sunmi that you said wasn't related to you in any way knew about you more than I did. If it wasn't for her, I would've never known about the bad relationship you have with your mother. When you were telling me about your family before, you never mentioned her too. I thought that you were unwilling to speak about her, so I figured I would wait, wait until you'll tell me about her willingly.

"However, she's already been mentioned, yet you still don't want to tell me about her. I originally had confidence that I could wait for you, but I don't know if I have that confidence anymore. Who knows, you might not even talk about her to me for the rest of your life." Jennie tugged at her own hands before she stopped, choosing to grasp his hands instead.

His hands were clean and beautiful, and very big. She had to use both her hands to completely cover one of his. "Lisa, you said that you wanted to marry me and only me. I feel the same way, I want to spend forever with you. I want to grow old with you, I want us to hold each other tightly as we walk around the neighborhood together. When we both retire, I want to send you off to the market and when you return with the groceries, I want to cook for you. I want to live with you and die with you, but I don't want to die with a person that I don't know enough of. Maybe everyone, even a husband and a wife, may have their secrets. Those secrets that are minor and unimportant don't matter to me, but this issue is obviously not—"

Halfway through her tirade, Jennie sighed heavily and fell backward to lean against the wall.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking this matter completely, but someone irrelevant knew about this and I didn't, so maybe I feel slightly wronged about it," Jennie said weakly.
