"Hey, guys! Let's do something fun before I go back to New York," Jake suggested. "How about let's have a party in your yacht, CEO Jeon?"
Jungkook shook his head as he refused. "Nah. I have a lot of things to do."
"Hey! We should celebrate the project you won from Dream City, big boss!"
"Shut up! I haven't known yet how big the project they are assigning me."
"But it was the Dream City!" Jake tries it out again; maybe this time, he could conJungkook the guy. "Do you know how much the Davies Group budget for this project? TRILLION US Dollars, bro!"
"Whoa!" The men at their table are all looking at Jungkook.
"Imagine a BILLION DOLLAR project in US Dollars? That's a lot already, bro!" Echoed by their other classmates.
"Okay! And that's why I have to work hard and have fewer drinking parties," Jungkook reasons out. It was true, but his main reason, he just wanted to stay home with Lisa.
"Man, since we are in High School, you've rarely come with us."
"I know... Mom is too strict with me. It's only a few memories I have that I had fun in my teenage life. But I didn't hate them. Mom's nagging becomes my path to achieving what I wanted. And that to win over to manage our company and win international projects."
"I think you are a mama's boy." Confessed one of their friends. "But damn! When the news explodes that you have a girlfriend and are living together... My impression of Jungkook Jeon has changed!"
"And what's more? The Great Madame Jeon can do nothing about it!" The other men chimed in.
"Love conquers all!"
Jungkook chuckled, shaking his head. He could not correct his friends' judgment. Besides, nothing wrong with their assumption. 'Love conquers all, huh?'
Well... He never denied it to his friends or other people, the reason no one suspects that his relationship with Lisa is just an act. Or it is what Lisa believes.
Thinking about this, a playful smirk curved his lips, and they saw it. Because of it, Jungkook was teased further.
"You know, guys... Jungkook Jeon is not mama's boy. He is only an obedient son."
"Yeah!" They cheer to that, followed by glasses clinking and cracking out.
He was already used to calling him mama's boy. At first, he got angry. But later on, he chooses to ignore those who bully him when he is young. But when he was in High School, he crossed into many fights because of it.
Probably, it was the reason his name was known in Metro City; after he beat up those who bugged him, but then his mother would still nag him because of it.
The more he stays away from any fight and obediently follows his parents, the more he was teased and bullied.
'The life rules are sometimes a great joke to others.' Jungkook thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Lisa and Mina sat at the bar and ordered cocktail drinks.
"Lily, slow down! Wow! You emptied the glass in one go!" Mina is not an expert with liquor, but she knows that most cocktails are hard drinks.
"It tastes great!" Lisa complimented. She also praises the bartender and orders one more time. While waiting for her drinks, she queried the bartender.
The reason she headed to the bar was to try the famous cocktails she saw posted on social media a month ago. She learns that the bartenders to serve tonight are from the known Academy that is experts in mixing drinks and their students are usually sent abroad and work in famous hotels and cruise ships.
