"Fine, fine, I promise. Don't be distracted now. Focus on your exams!"
"Mmm, I got it. I'll definitely make you proud!"
"Good!" Jennie smiled warmly.
After a short chat, Jungha then sounded odd again. He asked, "Oh, is that woman getting married soon?"
Jennie then realized he was talking about Krystal. She nodded. "Yes."
Jungha sneered, "She never called us. We found out about it on the TV. I'm really worried that Mother is going and will get rejected. Fortunately, Mother didn't say anything this time and she didn't mention that she's going... Before that, she kept on pestering me to buy some local specialties and send it to her wedding. I tried to convince her but failed, then suddenly she stopped..."
She was probably was rejected when she called Krystal, but Jennie did not say it out loud.
After Jennie was done talking to Jungha, Lisa and the little bun were done with dinner.
"Mommy, dinner's ready!" The little bun quickly led his mother to the dinner table.
Jennie saw four dishes and a bowl of soup on the table. There was a fresh tomato salad, roast meat, cola chicken, and pork rib soup with herbs. There was also Lisa's best dish, fried cabbage.
It was much more than she expected and the dishes looked delicious.
"Taste it." Lisa passed her a pair of chopsticks.
Jennie took the chopsticks and tried all of them.
The big bun and the little bun looked at her anxiously.
After a while, Jennie's eyes brightened and she gave them a thumbs-up. "Not bad at all! Delicious!"
Both the buns were relieved. The little bun looked especially vibrant. Lisa pulled out Jennie's seat for her. "Let's eat!"
"Mmm..." Jennie saw a blister on the back of Lisa's hand, then she held onto his hand to examine closely. "What happened?"
"I just got splashed by some oil. It's alright, I've taken care of it," Lisa replied.
Jennie blew some cool air on his hand. "Does it still hurt? Let me blow the pain away!"
Lisa looked at Jennie's childish behavior and laughed as warmth flooded his heart.
The ignored little bun looked at his father angrily. His face seemed to say, "How could you use such a cheap tactic behind my back to catch Mommy's attention?!"
"Mommy, Leo wants it too!" The little bun spoke up.
Jennie chuckled and she quickly gave the little guy's fair hand a light puff of air as well.
The little bun was satisfied now.
Look, I got it even without any tricks!
...
After finishing dinner and putting the little bun to sleep, Jennie and Lusa sat in the garden and had a little chat.
"Hon, why are you treating me especially nicely today?" Jennie asked.
Actually, it was not just today. This had been going on for the past few days as well.
Lisa was already treating her kindly enough, but the past few days had been way off the charts. She felt like she was becoming a good-for-nothing.
Lisa would never admit that it was because of his guilt.
"I'm afraid that you might be sad." Lisa quickly came up with an excuse.
"Sad? You mean about Kai's wedding?" Jennie raised her eyebrows. "If it's about that, you're overthinking. They suit each other, so it's a blessing for them!"
