Heart in Seoul - Jenlisa G!P

58. Fifty Pictures

Lisa and Jennie finally entered Lisa's room after so much walking around the entire house. It was strictly only touring because Jennie was afraid to get caught again. And there were cameras. Even though Lisa told her that her mom was just joking.

JENNIE KIM POV

Lisa's home was gorgeous. And when I entered her room, I could tell even if she didn't tell me it was hers. The concept is same as her own apartment. It was the only room with a dark theme.

There were various frames on the walls just like her Seoul apartment. The only difference was there are a lot of trophies and medals. It is showcased as a wall of fame in her room.

I looked at them. They were for sports, academics, competitions, she even won one certificate for a group dancing competition.

What amused me the most was the certificate of participation in the center of the whole wall. It was intentionally highlighted among all her achievements.

She saw me looking at that so she spoke. "That's there because I want everyone to know that I atleast tried to learn how to cook. If I still can't do it than it's not my fault." She shrugged after that.

Yes it was the certificate of participation for a cooking class.

"You're still amazing even if you can't cook" I kissed her cheek and went ahead to look at other things in her room.

Instead of a piano, she had a guitar in her room. I never expected her to be so involved in music. There was also a wall covered with different vintage cameras.

"You have an amazing camera collection." I told her honestly because I know about some of them too and they are super expensive and hard to use.

"You haven't seen it all... Let me show you the love of my life... My grandpa gifted her to me... He used to call it his Senorita... Sometime I think I got my romance cells from him which is actually not possible but somehow I did."

I was confused because why is it not possible? But before I could even ask she showed me a beautiful camera she had locked in the bottom drawer.

"The film of this camera cannot be replaced. And it can only click 75 pictures in total. No options to delete or reset. When he gave me there were already 50 picture in this. All the most important moments of his life are captured here. It has one picture of me too. When I was little."

"Can I see them?" I asked because I was curious to see little Lisa and of course all the other once too.

"Yupp, I have all of them all printed here. Let's go to my darkroom. It's tough to connect this with my laptop. So I saved and printed all the pictures for convenience."

"You have a darkroom?" I asked.

"Of course I do." She replied while pulling me by my hand. We went inside one of the door in her room. The whole room was dark expect red lights. There were more cameras and a lot of printing stuff scattered around.

"Don't touch anything. I haven't been here for a while now so I don't if I left any chemical outside." She warned me, so I kept my hands to myself. I saw a lot of pictures that were hanged on the walls.

"Here found them." Lisa said. "Do you want to see them here or outside?" She asked

"Outside it's creepy here." I scrunched my nose, She laughed at my reaction and we went outside.

"So these are in order. I have printed them with the order number, date and place behind them. Let's start with number one."

We started seeing them one by one. The first ones were random and blurry picture of a gorgeous women and a man together doing silly things.

She told me that it was her grandmother. It was taken before her grandparents married. He just took it for a trial and later read the instructions. After that he took all the pictures just on the most important occasions.

Than there were pictures of her grandparents marriage. And the new born pictures of uncle Marco and his younger brother. A few of them growing up together.

All of the pictures were heartwarming. But the next pictures made my breath hitched. I don't know what to say.

It was a picture of two man standing side by side on a golf club in their late 40s. One was Lisa's grandfather and the other one was....

"This is my grandpa and his bestfriend. They have been friends for over 50 years now. He lives in Korea so I never met him. But I got my love for Korea because of grandpa's stories about his various trips to Korea."

She was about to get on the next photo but I stopped her. I took the picture and looked closely.

"Wh-what's his name?" I stuttered out.

"Oh even I don't know his name. Now that I think about it he never told me his name. My grandpa always called him by his nickname 'shino', So I also call him Grandpa Shino."

I looked at Lisa even more shocked. Seriously 'shino'. I never knew about that.

"I had the same expression it's such a weird name but yeah." She shrugged.

"I never expected this." I started "His name is Sung-hoon"

"Do you know him?" she cut me off.

"Kim Sung-hoon. My grandpa." I finished and looked at her. Now she was the one who was shocked.

"What I don't understand is that my grandpa doesn't have many friends. Actually he only had one he trusted the most. And that person is the founder of MB Group."

"Same with my grandpa. He only had one friend and that was Grandpa Shino. I mean Grandpa Kim."

"You ignored the main point you idiot. You're grandpa, was he the founder of MB Group?" I asked directly.

"Oh.." it was like a switch was turned on in her mind. She paused for a while and looked at me than looked at the picture than me again. "I-I never wanted to hide it from you." She stuttered.

"So he is the founder of MB Group. That means your... Oh my god Lalisa Manoban... Wait is that your real name? Isn't you grandpa Swiss?"

I saw her suddenly panicking. 'shit' I heard her mumble.

"I guess I'll have to come clean." She took a deep breath and hold my hands. "Umm... yes my name is definitely Lalisa Manoban. Well Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban Brüschweiler. And yes my grandpa was a Swiss. His name was Thomas brüschweiler. The MB group is named after the initials my father and uncle, Marco brüschweiler or Martin brüschweiler."

She hold my hands more tightly all of a sudden. "I'm Manoban because I-I am not blood related to them. My biological dad died years ago and my mother married again to Marco. Wait I have a picture here."

She showed me a picture of Her, Chittip and Marco at her parents wedding.

"I guess even if we didn't have this conversation you would have found out either way through this picture." She had a fond smile on her face.

"I can't believe this. I mean what are the odds that our grandparents are actually best friends." I said totally not being able to digest everything that I just found out.

"I guess we are supposed to be in each others lives one way or other." Lisa said and smiled. "Even if we didn't knew each other we would have met sometime because of our grandparents."
