Chapter 40 • Pt. 2

"If you want me to leave, just say it"

"Where will you go? His "shared" house?"

"Well, maybe-?"

"For sure-" they both spoke at the same time.

"Ehem, excuse me!!!" Preeda raised her voice at the table with a grin, squeezing her husband's hand and glaring at Lisa. "Why don't we lower our tones? There's a guest with us"

"Soon to be part of the family," Lisa said, without being able to control her tone.

Ananda narrowed his eyes, thinking in ways of strangling her again.

"Lisa, please, honey," Preeda scolded her and slid a not-so-good look at Jungkook. "Forgive my husband, he's just concerned"

"Concerned about what?" Lisa spoke the question that formed in Jungkook's mind too and it shocked her mother.

She cleared her throat putting a delicate hand on her chest and formed another smile. "About your future"

"How's that related to Jungkook's career choice?" Lisa asked once more in a dangerous tone, staring at her mother with fierce eyes that were slowly catching fire. She cocked her head and formed a humorless smile. "Of course because you don't trust me having a career that can pay me a life, right? "

"I didn't say that"

"You are thinking so"

"No, I'm not. Didn't I invite you here to have a peaceful lunch as clear proof of me making peace with you?"

"You both are doing nothing to make peace!" Lisa exclaimed irritated, slamming her fork against the table. "Is it that hard to be welcoming? You all weren't interrogating Jaehyun as if you were the police when you met him!"

"Because I didn't have to! I know him"

"No, you know his family not him, if you knew him you would know"

"Know what?"

"For God's sake, mother! He is gay! And he is into Jungkook too!"

Jungkook almost spat the rice he had in his mouth with his eyes so wide they could have dropped and rolled down the table. "What?" he asked in a strangled voice.

Jaehyun was gay? AND INTO HIM?

What the fuck?

"You're lying!" her mother accused her. "It's unbelievable that you're making up these things to push this... man up"

"No, I'm not lying, and don't you dare to spread it around your circle!"

"Excuse me?"

"I know you, mother, and no, it's not your business, it's not a joke or something to gossip about so you better leave Jaehyun alone and leave also Jungkook alone"

"I didn't do anything to him!"

"Ah so you think this is nothing? Gosh, be normal, you both seem to be really questioning him to know if he's a good husband to support me while being insulting to his job and career. It's offensive, I have a job!" she declared again because even if they tried anyway they continued to judge and distrust her decisions. Apparently, they weren't going to stop until they saw her living under a bridge to say "I told you so" or until they saw her being tremendously successful to congratulate her and be bitter for not being right about her. "I'm so tired of this, seriously, so we will eat and leave because I swear this is the last time we will ever talk," she added and popped a large portion of rice into her mouth.

Her mother, tired of acting in this stupid melodrama, sighed heavily. "No matter what we do you won't be happy, right?"

Lisa inhaled furiously because she couldn't believe that now she was trying to guilt-trip her but that action was a bad idea, three grains of rice went the wrong way and from there everything went to hell.
