JENNIE POV:Everything went quiet after Madam Manoban left with Lisa. I was still grieving over Lisa's Departure, but in the end, I realized that she needed to clear her problem with her mother first.
I didn't know how she would do it, though. I've been thinking about Lisa the whole time and whether she could solve things peacefully because Lisa wasn't exactly the most patient woman on earth.
I sighed as I ate dinner with my parents and sisters. They kept staring at me for an obvious reason, but I didn't have the mood to talk about it, and they understood.
Thus, the situation became a bit awkward. I played with my food lazily, wondering if things could've been much better if I told Lisa to stay before.
"You did the right thing, Jennie," My dad said suddenly. "Parents' blessing is part of a sacred ritual for a long-lasting marriage. If she cannot get her parents' blessing, then we cannot do anything."
"No, I just think if I should've followed her. So I can get her mom's blessing after she knows about my quality," I said.
"Unnie, don't you see what that old woman said about you? She dares to insult you in front of mom and dad! Do you think things couldn't get worse if you're alone with her?" Ella gave me another reality slap.
"Hmph! That woman dares to insult my daughter! Doesn't she know that my daughter is a strong, independent woman? Just because we're poor doesn't mean we need her money!" My mom yelled, full of anger.
"Mom ... she's my boss' Wife .... "
"I guess I can't do anything .... " I sighed, full of woe.
I played with my food for a moment and then decided to leave the dinner table. "I need to pack things up. I have to return to Seoul tomorrow. Tomorrow is already Wednesday anyway. I already took my short break for this year."
I went inside my room and realized that the Batman J and PeuPeu stuff was still there.
Because a few hours ago, Lisa had proposed to me, it was all sweet and fuzzy. And then everything turned 180 degrees, and I'm alone again.
I looked at my ring and sighed, "Lisa, you really know how to play with my heart. Just make sure that you'll be able to convince your mom "
I put down all Batman J and PeuPeu stuff inside the box and put it under my bed again.
I packed up my things and then ordered an evening train to Seoul with an app because of the long trip from my village to the station.
I sat on the bed, sighing over and over, "Okay, Jennie, it's time to face reality and starts working again. Give Lisa the time to sort out things herself. Just trust her."

-I woke up in the morning. I've prepared everything the night before. When I checked my phone, there was a text from Lisa.
L: Good Morning, Nini. I just want to make sure that you were okay after the commotion last night. Don't worry, Nini, I will make sure to clear everything. My mom is too much, but nothing is stopping me, Nini. I'm currently boarding in New York for a business deal. I'm with my mom right now .
