Nam Yeji had always dwelled upon her problems and never listened to others' advice. After suffering such a huge loss this time around, she thought about Jennie's words and finally made sense of what Jennie said.
She never had any elders to guide her through issues, and as such, there was never anyone to give her direction. Now that she had gone through such an unfavorable situation, it reminded her of Jennie's words in the past. As harsh as they sounded, Nam Yeji thought about it thoroughly and realized that Jennie sounded like a warm and affectionate senior.
She raised her head and looked at Jennie as the corner of her mouth twitched and she asked, "Can I still call you Sister? For real this time, and with no other intentions."
Jennie looked at her carefully as she spoke and saw the sincerity in her words. "Alright, but I'll say this now. If you do something embarrassing or stupid again, don't expect me to help you and don't blame me if I don't acknowledge you either."
Nam Yeji frowned as she muttered, "I've just had something horrible happen to me, do you think I'll still be this stupid?"
Jennie snorted in response. "Oh please, you were never that smart in the first place."
Nam Yeji always thought that Jennie had somewhat of a nasty mouth, but after this incident, she realized that Jennie used her sharp words to mind her soft heart. In the past, Nam Yeji had only gotten close to Jennie with the intention of taking advantage of her, but now she sincerely wanted them to have this relationship.
Jennie could also see that she was being genuine.
Nam Yeji pouted as she continued, "Didn't you say that I have quite a good brain? You did say that I have the ability to accomplish something in the future.
Jennie did not bother to play nice as she replied with another snort, "I said that to build your confidence."
"Hmph!" Nam Yeji turned away to hide the small smile on her face.
Even if Jennie said this, she still had faith in herself that she would be able to accomplish something great.

Park Shin-Hye prepared a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes and stir-fried green beans. It was a rare occasion that Jennie was visiting so she wanted to prepare something especially delicious, but since the ribs were frozen and there was not enough time to defrost and prepare a stew, she had no choice but to cook some shredded pork with eggs and dried mushroom.
Then, she prepared three bowls of rice and set up the dining table. She noticed the slight change in atmosphere between Jennie and Nam Yeji, and although she did not understand what exactly had happened, she was happy.
Jennie spotted Park Shin-Hye's eyes that were now red and suspected that she had secretly been crying. She may have become upset after thinking about all the unhappy things that had happened in the past, but this was just speculation.
Therefore, Jennie did not bother to ask and merely pretended not to have noticed.
Meanwhile, Park Shin-Hye had her eyes set on Jennie, eager for Jennie to pick up her chopsticks.
Jennie soon took a bite out of a piece of stir-fried green bean. Park Shin-Hye may have been influenced by Nam Goong Min, who was a chef, which was why the food she prepared was all delicious. It had the taste of a homey bistro, and though it was not as refined as the food from, say, a hotel restaurant, it still had a 'real-world' taste to it.
