Manoban's Residence

After the shouting and mockery, Lisa headed down. The whole family was wearing down their meal together at their enormous dining table.

"Minho, pass me some water," Mr Manoban asked his younger brother who obliged immediately and passed him water, "Thank you," Mr Manoban said as he chucked down the liquid. His voice was perhaps cold because of the incident.

But, Yeon-Woo, Minho's wife and Nancy's mother noticed that Lisa was a little down today and was just fiddling with the food on her plate.

"Lisa, why are you not eating your food?" Yeon-Woo asked while Mrs Manoban just looked down.

"Nothing Auntie, I am full," Lisa said and leaned on her chair with a sad expression that didn't go unnoticed by everyone.

"Why-" Yeon-Woo was about to ask her the reason but Mr Manoban spoke,

"She is full after embarrassing me in front of everyone and my best friend," He said, chewing his food.

"Lisa, did it hurt?" Minho asked Lisa while looking at her.

"N-No papa, just the girl in our neighbour accidentally pushed her a little," Nancy said and Lisa gritted her teeth remembering how strong was the cat-eyed girl.

"Bloody Kitten... I am not going to leave her" Lisa whispered to herself but Mr Manoban heard it very clearly.

"Don't you dare irritate the daughter of Mr Colonel, Lisa. I am telling you." Mr Manoban spoke, glaring at Lisa while she just nodded looking down, "Just look at Jennie, she'll be representing her school in the upcoming parade and look at your sister, Nancy, she's so good at studying and singing that she already went abroad to perform and look at us," He said, shaking his head, "You're 18 and started drinking."

"But Hyung, when we were 17... Remember Busan? We already dr-" Minho smirked.

Everyone looked at Mr Manoban with a shocked expression and Lisa started giggling.

"Shut up you! Lisa, at least we have done something in our life," Mr Manoban spoke.

"If I'll be your age and haven't done something, you can admit me to the army school. I won't say anything!" Lisa said and everyone at the dining table laughed, except Mr Manoban.

"Enough! I promised everyone that I'll send my child there and if you will not go there everyone will think that my daughter doesn't follow my rules. Do you think they will still do business with me after this?" He said, standing up and leaving the dining area to go into his room.

"Aish! Mom! I don't wanna go to the Army School! Please save me!" Lisa made her infamous puppy face in front of her mother but she just shook her head with a dreadful expression.

"I am sorry, sweetie. I can't help you, and it's just one year! It'll just get over in a snap, believe me!" Her mother said, going to the kitchen.

Kim's Residence

Jin was walking in circles in his room while talking to one of his clients.

"I told you! I refused at least 25 customers today! Medicine is important and you know that, right? Yeah, please send the stock." When he was about to turn toward his bed he saw Ji-Eun smiling at him.

"Hmm, at least give your wife some attention, Jin-ah," Ji-Eun said, tracing her fingers on Jin's chest.

"I-I... Ahh... It's almost 8 PM already Ji-Eun, dad must be waiting for us. Let's go and eat," Jin said trying to get out of his wife's grasp.

"God! I don't know why we have to eat at 8 PM! I get hungry at night and you know... I got some arrangements for today if I get hungry," Ji-Eun said as she opened the door of their cabinet.
