"So what did Dad want to talk to you about?" Alex asked the woman lying beside him in bed.

"Oh, nothing much," Eun-hye lied. She's not a very good liar, but the lights flickered low in the room so Alex couldn't see her face clearly.

"Come on, now," Alex chided. "I wasn't born yesterday, what did he really want to discuss?"

"Well, if you must know, your dad told me he's planning to give me all his money if I stick to you for no less than ten years," Eun-hye said with a straight face.

"Hahaha, hilarious," Alex retorted. "Finally, Dad's not-so-funny virus is catching on."

"But at least he's trying," Eun-hye commented.

"Fine, fine, you two," Alex conceded. "I see how it is. How about I team up with your dad?"

"No!" Eun-hye shouted, catching Alex by surprise.

"What do you mean no?" Alex asked as he raised an eyebrow. "I can beg him tomorrow to come to the wedding."

"You can't do that," Eun-hye insisted.

"And why not?" Alex inquired. "He's your father after all, and you're his daughter. He would come even if your grandma won't let him."

"Are you sure about that?" Eun-hye doubted that her father would reconsider just because Alex asked him to do so. It's not so easy in the Jeon household.

"How would we know if we don't try," Alex countered.

Remembering Uncle Jimin's words, Eun-hye said, "Can you please wait a day or so while I figure out something?"

"Okay, sure," Alex shrugged. "If you say so, but don't delay it for too long or else I'll be hounding down the doors to your mansion."

"Haha," Eun-hye elicited a nervous laugh as she turned off the lights. Eventually, she needed to find out why Uncle Jimin warned her about mentioning her father. It's not that she didn't trust him, but she required a convincing reason why she can't say 'Jeon Jung-kook' in that household.
