[4] Made of Gold | Seventeen's Vernon × BlackPink's Lisa ✅

"Where have you been?"

Suara bernada dingin tapi familiar tersebut langsung terdengar the second Vernon opened the door to his family's penthouse.

Cowok itu melepaskan sepatu dan menggantinya dengan slippers, sama sekali nggak memperdulikan seorang wanita yang lagi menunggu jawaban atas pertanyaannya barusan sambil melipat tangan.

Wanita tersebut memperhatikan Vernon dari atas sampai bawah, lalu bertanya lagi, "where have you been, Hansol?"

Vernon yang tadinya lagi berjalan ke arah ruang tamu mendecak kecil, kemudian membalikkan badannya.

"It's none of your business, Jeanine. What you doing here anyway?"

"It's Mother for you, and this is my house; where else am I supposed to be?"

Cowok itu mengangkat bahunya, "you should ask yourself that question, considering you only spend less than 1/10 of your time here, Mother."

Jeanine berjalan ke arah anak laki-lakinya tersebut dan berdiri di depannya, menatap Vernon dengan tatapan yang mampu membuat hampir semua orang langsung tunduk.

Hampir, karena Vernon nggak termasuk ke dalam golongan orang-orang itu.

"Watch that tone when you're talking to me. For whom do you think I'm working hard?"

Vernon cuma rolled his eyes in response, membuat Jeanine di depannya memdengus nggak percaya.

"But of course you won't understand that, considering you refused going to college just so you can do that photography thing of yours."

"How many times are we going to talk about this? I said I have no interest in your work. That will never change, no matter how much you tell me that I should."

"And I'm going to say it again: You should, if you want to secure your future. I always think that you'd understand that sooner or later, and yet now even when you're 19 you still have that same old naive way of thinking. Grow up, Hansol."

Jeanine mengatakan hal itu semua masih dengan muka tanpa ekspresi, kemudian jalan ke arah tangga di ruang tamu; not bothering to look at her son yang melihat punggungnya dengan tatapan nanar.
