Impossible Lovers

After hanging up the phone, Lisa sent Mark her location.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the streets were unusually empty of traffic, so Mark drove smoothly all the way to Lisa's home. He didn't take long to arrive at the building and followed the information she gave to find her unit.

Mee was still sitting at the door, with no sign of softening her attitude. Lisa peeled a tangerine for herself and glanced up at Mee, saying, "Mom, aren't you eating? Want to have a tangerine?"

"I'm not eating!" Mee stared back, coldly sneering, "Hmph, it's amazing that you can still eat."

As Lisa was about to feed her a piece of tangerine, she slurred her words a bit and said, "It's your choice to sit there. Nobody forced you."

Mee clicked her tongue and cursed Father Manoban in her mind. She knew he wouldn't come up with any good solutions!

Just as she was thinking about that, someone knocked on the door twice from outside. Mee didn't even stand up, she just turned her head and asked, "Who is it?"

A young male voice sounded from outside the door, "Auntie, I've come to see Lisa."

Mee turned her head to look at Lisa, her eyes scrutinizing, "You've brought in reinforcements?"

"No, it's just a friend who came to visit during the New Year."

"What friend? A boyfriend?"

"..."

Lisa fell silent. Mark was still outside knocking on the door, "Auntie, could you please open the door? I've come to wish you a Happy New Year."

Only then did Mee stand up and peeked through the peephole. Outside the door stood a young man. Although he wasn't as handsome as Jungkook , he looked neat and comfortable. His demeanor was better than most people, and unlike some others of his age, he seemed to care about the quality of life and had decent financial conditions.

"When did you meet him?" Mee turned back to look at Lisa.

Lisa replied vaguely, "Just recently."

Mee looked at him for a while, slightly moved the chair, opened the door, and Mark handed a gift box to her before entering, "Auntie, Happy New Year. Sorry for disturbing."

Because the chair was blocking the door, it only opened halfway. Mark sidestepped to get inside, smiling, and greeted Mee. Lisa saw that he was still holding the gift and thought to herself that Mark truly lived up to his reputation as a director. Despite the unexpected situation, he remembered to bring a gift thoughtfully.

Mee took the gift from Mark and placed it on the floor. After closing the door, she moved the chair back to its original position and sat down again.

Mark observed this series of actions and awkwardly said, "Auntie, what's this all about?"

Mee said, "I'm just tidying up the place. Your timing is a bit unfortunate."

"Hahaha," Mark laughed dryly and looked at Mee, "Auntie, you have a good sense of humor. It's the New Year, it's auspicious to be in a good mood."

Mee looked up and carefully examined him, "You are Lisa's friend?"

"Yes," Mark replied and then glanced at Jungkook , who was sitting on the sofa, folding his legs casually while peeling an orange. When he noticed Mark looking at him, he raised his eyes slightly and met his gaze.

Mark's expression froze for a moment. Jungkook 's gaze was somewhat sharp, it didn't seem very friendly.

He chuckled twice, thinking that he had indeed walked into a difficult situation today, "This gentleman is Lisa's old classmate, right? You two... are meeting the parents?"
