After arriving back at her hotel room, Jennie poured a cup of tea for her father and calmly explained the misunderstanding between her and Bambam. "Dad, I have a boyfriend, but it's not Bambam. Give me some time, I will introduce you to him later," Jennie said.


Father Kim looked at his daughter worriedly and sighed, "Ever since that one boyfriend in high school, I've never seen you with a man again."


"Precious, can you be honest with me? I've heard rumors about you and Solar. If they're true, you can just tell me; I am very open-minded. After all, I've always treated Solar as my own daughter and Pumpkin as my own grandson," the old man said.


Jennie shook her head and laughed, "No, I'm very much in love with a man. A very manly man, in fact. Someone that's righteous, brave and heroic. I'm sure you will approve of him."


Father Kim smiled excitedly, "I look forward to meeting him, then. Even though I'm a little disappointed that Lisa and I can't be in-laws."


Jennie smiled to herself. Her father had no idea that she was in love with Lisa Manoban's other son.


"But, I'm curious, why did Solar take time off to come to Incheon then? I thought she came to look for you," Father Kim said.


"Solar's in Incheon? I had no idea about that!" Jennie exclaimed. "Maybe she didn't know I was here either. Let me call her!"


Father Kim watched in curiosity as Jennie picked up her phone, "Unnie! Dad and I are both in Incheon and he told me that you're here too! Where are you? Let's meet up!"


"What? You were in Busan for the day? You went to Lotte World Adventure?"


"Wait! Do I hear Pumpkin's voice? Did you bring him too?"


"Hey! Who is he talking to?"


"Is that a man I hear?!!"


When Father Kim heard this last question, he immediately grabbed Jennie's phone in excitement. "Have you found Pumpkin a father?" he asked straightforwardly.


On the other end of the phone, Solar glanced at Moon-byul and Pumpkin awkwardly. How was she supposed to reply to so many embarrassing questions? Worst of all, they were inside a car together and she was sure they could hear her conversation.


"Who are you talking to, Mommy?" Little Pumpkin asked.


"It's Grandpa Henry and Auntie Ruby," Solar replied.


The little boy clapped his hands in excitement and quickly grabbed the phone from Solar's hands. Solar looked at the boy in surprise but gave a sigh of relief. At least, her son had saved her from having to answer all those awkward questions.


But, suddenly, the little boy said something that she didn't expect. "Grandpa Henry, Auntie Ruby...I think Mommy's in love..." he whispered cheekily. "I peeked a little and saw them kiss..."


Solar glanced at Moon-byul and covered her face in embarrassment.


Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, the father and daughter looked at each other and rolled back in fits of laughter. 


...


At that time in Thailand, Minnie was packing his luggage. He had received a phone call from Lalisa and Mi-yeonin the middle of the night asking for his assistance in Incheon. 


"Minnie, we need you to take an undercover mission here in Incheon. We've already given your name to the target and he will be contacting you soon," Lalisa explained.


"Undercover mission?" Minnie asked. "Is this an official mission with Interpol? I thought you guys were there for a private matter."


"We came across an international case of money laundering. I've already spoken to SPU in Seoul and the Busan branch of Interpol, they have decided to combine forces for this case. This is an official order," Lalisa said.


"But, shouldn't someone with authority contact me? You're not lying to me, right?" Minnie asked with suspicion. What if this man was luring him for his own personal agenda?


"Don't be so wary, Alex. You ARE speaking to someone with authority..." Mi-yeon said as she grabbed the phone from Lalisa.


Minnie listened with confusion.


After a short pause, Mi-yeon revealed with a sigh, "Lisa's already accepted the role of Busan's head of Interpol!"


...


Roughly a week ago, before Mi-yeon and Lalisa flew off from Thailand to Busan, Lalisa had visited the Interpol headquarters.


At that time, he had just discovered that someone in Busan wanted to kill him and he wanted to take some time off to investigate it properly. But, when he walked into President Kim's office, the middle-aged gentleman presented him with a confidential case file from the Busan branch of Interpol. Inside, were photos of his mother's car accident along with accidents of other rich and influential people.


"I know you want to investigate the person that sent Gogh. I think these files may be of assistance to you. If you want to see all the case files, I suggest you take on the offer I gave you last time," the man said.


Lalisa stared at the file. It was marked '1/25'. He had always thought there was something suspicious about his mother's death. It seemed he wasn't the only one...


Lalisa glanced back up at his superior and nodded his head firmly, "When can I start?"
