Chapter 91

Thought Lisa's heart fizzed with sweetness, she said, "Tsk, it'll be great if I can get a few more boyfriends like this".

Jungkook rolled his eyes in exasperation. He ground his teeth and whispered into her ear, "Just you wait".

"Oh?"

"Let me educate you in the time to come". His tone was loaded with meaning.

After much shameless coaxing and pestering, Lisa finally managed to convince her mother to allow Jungkook to pay a visit to them. Though her mother agreed readily, Lisa was a little worried. She asked, "Eh, dad won't object will he?"

"His objection is invalid. I'll let him know who is the real boss in the house".

....

During the National Day Golden week, Jungkook squeezed out a day and a half of free time to pay a visit to his parent's in-law. Before heading over, he went home first.

Having been informed in advance, Mama Jeon had already prepared the gifts. Next the couple began to give Jungkook a small talk where they emphasized how he should please his parents-in-law.

"Don't talk too much. It makes you seem unreliable. Don't start debating over anything".

"You can't stay too silent either. Staring blankly would make you seem like a fool".

"Be a little more proactive. Don't really treat yourself as a gust".

"But don't be too proactive either. You'll look too eager to please".

"Don't casually joke around with the elders".

"Of course, remember to still keep your sense of humour at appropriate moments".

"Most of all, boosting is to be avoid at all costs".

"Being overly humble is a turn-off as well".

"Don't play with your phone".

"Remember to message and keep us updated".

As the two of them nattered on, Jungkook felt like a tiny bee was buzzing in his head.

Finally, he managed to escape and carrying numerous packages, he was set for hell....uh, wait....on his way.

....

Lisa watched the television while her parents bustled about in the kitchen and chatted as they cooked. However, her attention was not on the television. When the doorbell rang, she leapt up from the sofa and dashed to the door with noisy steps. When she saw Jungkook's face on the digital viewer, she beamed and called his name. "Jeon Jungkook?"

"Mm, Lisa". Jungkook's expression was a little stiff.

"I'll open the door only if you call me something nice".

Jungkook grinned. His tense expression softened and his face became more animated. He whispered, "Stop fooling around".

Lisa pressed the button to unlock the door, turned and scampered into the kitchen. "Esteemed fellow, your son-in-law is here!"

Principal Manoban rolled his eyes.

Jungkook came up quickly. Though Principal Manoban was tugged out by Mama Jeon to welcome Jungkook, he was stony throughout the whole process.

After some small talk, Mama Manoban said, "Have a seat first, Jungkook. Auntie is still cooking and will come over to join you all later....Hubby", Mama Manoban turned her head and instructed Principal Manoban, "Go to the Green Homeland Supermarket across our residential area and buy some slated duck and dried tofu".

"Mm". Principal Manoban nodded.

Jungkook spoke, "How about I'll go with Lisa?"

"It's fine, sit, Lisa bring some snacks for Jungkook".

Lisa bought the basket of snacks over and poured a drink for Jungkook. She teased, "Have some tea, Jungkook Oppa".

Jungkook sat in a prim and proper manner. His lips were lightly pressed together as he gave a decorous smile.

Lisa then saw her father fussing about at the doorway. He searched the key box and fished around his pockets. She asks, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"I can't find the key card".

"Take mind first".

"Mm, where is it?"

"In the bag". Lisa pointed to the chain strap bag hanging from the clothes hanger next to the door.

Principal Manoban took down the bag and rummaged through it. Thinking that the key card was in the inner slip pocket, he felt around in it. He had yet to feel the key card when he found a small white paper receipt printed with black letters.

Casually sweeping his eyes over the receipt, he was suddenly stunned.

Airport Rest Room: 1 Double room. Signed: Jeon Jungkook.
