Chapter 40 • Pt. 2

"Like you working in the corner of a street?" her mother asked sweetly.

Lisa smiled, just like her. "Yes, mother. That's exactly where Jungkook and I met "

Jungkook looked at them both without understanding what was happening and unable to believe that Lisa had just said that. Was this some kind of game between the two of them? A family joke? Or did she really want them to believe that because she was angry? Because she was definitely upset about the hippie artist thing.

God, this was so different from his family. Yuqi and he just insulted each other without smiles or passive-aggressive tones at all.

"I hope that part is a joke," Preeda said seriously.

"Of course it is," Lisa rolled her eyes, taking a deep breath that she let out strongly. "Going back to the point, Jungkook has showers more times than myself, he works every day, including Saturdays, and yes, he is an artist"

It was important to clarify that he took showers apparently.

"I study Arts in SNU and I have a tattoo parlor," he added a little nervous to see their reactions because he could already expect them considering how they took Lisa's career.

Lisa's father looked away, clearly considering the best ways to choke Lisa for dating someone like him, next to him, mother chuckled with a glass of water against her pale pink painted lips.

He couldn't even feel offended at this point. He really had no expectations, he was used to society disapproving his work and paying attention to the stigma that his profession brought with it but damn it, it wasn't that bad.

He did tattoos, he didn't sell drugs.

To begin with, if he sold drugs he would be a millionaire and he would be taking Lisa on vacation to Paris but look at him here, like a good boy, penniless and living with a cockroach on his vacation.

Not anymore, fly high Rochie.

"So, you live on your own?" Ananda then asked, his hand resting on his temple and clearly judging him.

Jungkook didn't understand what that question was coming to but he nodded. "Yes?"

"Is that a question?"

"What?"

"Yes or no?"

"Yes?" he blinked confused but that gaze on him was about to twitch because he was fucking up. "I mean, uhum, yes! I live on my own," he nodded more confidently even though he wondered what the hell was doing and why this man was so obsessed with his current living situation.

"In a shared apartment with two friends since he started college," Lisa added proudly, diverting attention from him tHANK GOD. "One of them is Kim Taehyung, let me add"

Preeda gasped. "From the Kim Group? The owners of the hospitals?"

"Yes, the same Taehyung that organized the Van Gogh convention," Lisa replied with a tired tone. "I told you that before. But he's dating Kim Jennie, the sister of that girl weak of mind, you know"

Jungkook blinked... Weak of mind? Tzuyu?

He held back a laugh and Preeda narrowed her eyes.

"Isn't it weird they're friends of Jungkook after all he allegedly did?" Lisa asked with irony disguised as innocence, putting a finger on her lips thoughtfully. 

Preeda just sighed, already tired of her, which brought humor to Lisa and she continued: "Jungkook works really hard, he's a well known student in the Art Department, he got a recognition during the mural, I'm just so shocked Chaeyoung's mother didn't mention that, mother," she said again with that weird innocence. This was beginning to amuse Jungkook so much, perhaps because he only could laugh to not cry, but because in spite of everything she was supporting him. "Didn't you know Chaeyoung worked with his help?"
