"Kook, I know how my little sister is, and I'm sure you do too. Since the two of you have decided to spend your lives together, you have to cherish each other and be understanding of each other. Even though she's never said it out loud, my sister actually admires our parents' marriage quite a bit. I hope that the two of you can also enjoy a happy life together."

Naturally, Su Yoongi cared about his sister's happiness more than anything else.

"Su Lisa is a wonderful woman. I will take care of her to the best of my ability. Don't worry, Brother."

Her happiness... he couldn't promise that.

He didn't dare to, because he believed that happiness could only be attained by those in mutual love.

Obviously, he and Su Lisa were still far from that; but even so, he wanted to do his best on accomplishing everything he should do and could do for her. He refused to let Lisa suffer any grievances, though that was easier said than done.

After all, she wasn't the type of person to let herself be wronged. In his mind, she had always been a strong woman who sat up so high in a lofty position that other people just couldn't help but surrender to her. Provoking her was equivalent to having a death wish.

When his thoughts reached this point, a faint smile appeared on Jungkook's face. It was a smile reserved for Su Lisa, and Su Lisa only.

Su Yoongi had been paying attention to Jungkook's expressions. When he saw the extremely gentle smile on the actor's face, Su Yoongi finally set down his worries.

Since he had confirmed this man's deep feelings for his sister, he could only hope that his sister would also realize her own feelings soon. He wasn't very sensitive to the feelings of others, but he understood his sister too well.

Very few people were capable of getting the attention of someone as cold and self-centered as her, and the ones who were capable of gaining her acknowledgment could be counted on one hand. It was as if she only had her family in her heart. Now, Jungkook had joined their ranks.

To Su Yoongi, her concern for Jungkook, as well as the ways she had changed, couldn't be more obvious. He just wasn't sure if his sister knew how much she cared about Jungkook.

The expression in Su Yoongi's eyes softened. Both men cared about the same woman, one due to familial love, and the other due to romantic love.

No matter how cold or indifferent a person was, they were prone to having a soft spot in their heart. That spot could be filled by anything, from another person to an object, or even an occasion. Whatever it was, they would cherish it and believe it was worth every effort to protect.

"I'm very busy abroad. From now on, you will have to watch over the Su family. Mom and Dad are both too busy to visit. Grandpa is very fond of my little sister, so he will be very happy if the two of you return to visit him often," Su Yoongi advised. This was the highest form of recognition that he could give to Jungkook.

Jungkook was both shocked and delighted.

"Brother, don't worry. I will," Jungkook promised. Because Su Yoongi was Su Lisa's older brother, Jungkook was very respectful towards him. However,  unlike how obsequious and nervous he usually was in front of Su Lisa, he displayed a confident and decisive attitude when he faced Su Yoongi.

In reality, the Su family was strong and didn't need his supervision, but he kept in mind to visit Su Manor often. Having Su Lisa accompany him would be the best. He hoped for the happiness of the entire family.

Jungkook had never experienced the warmth of a family, so he didn't know the feeling of having one. Even after three years of marriage, the number of times he visited the Su family was small. They treated him kindly but still kept a sense of distance. At home with Su Lisa, it used to be worse. The wall of ice had seemed impossible to break.

However, everything had changed, and Jungkook was now working to steer the change in a positive direction.

He wanted a real family of his own!
Before he left the company, Su Yoongi asked him for some signed photographs, which he agreed to give. On that same day, many of his fans squealed when they learned that one of the year-end welfare awards for the most hardworking employees would be a signed photograph of Jungkook.

That afternoon, he went to the filming set. It was almost time to start filming, so there was a lot of work to be done. He was busy for several hours until he realized that dinner time was about to be over, and right after he took out of his phone, intending to give Su Lisa a call, his phone rang.

He looked expectantly at the screen, but it wasn't Su Lisa. A look of disappointment came over his face as he swiped to answer the call.

"Chenyol?"

Zhai Chenyol, a classmate and roommate of his from university, was
also one of the few friends he had. Although they didn't really keep in touch, their relationship wasn't too bad.

"Great Film Emperor Jeon, it is most fortunate that your royal highness still remembers this little one," Chenyol immediately mocked him, but his tone suggested that he didn't actually mind. He understood that after university, everyone had gone their separate ways and was busy with their own lives.

"Do you need something?" Jungkook responded indifferently, ignoring the jab. Chenyol was used to his temperament.

"Tut-tut. With that personality, how did you even make it this big in the entertainment circle? I thought cold guys were already out of fashion? Ai, I really don't get why all those little girls scream when they hear your name mentioned..." Chenyol lamented sourly.

Well, who told him to be such a loner?

"Get to the point," Jungkook said impatiently.

He wanted to hang up and call Su Lisa already, okay? He didn't want to listen to a grown man prattle!

"Okay, I'll get to the point. Actually, there are two. One, how could you keep your marriage from your buddies like this? Do you even consider us your friends? Two, you have to come to our class reunion, our university class reunion. Right now, you're the most famous one out of all of us. If you don't come, everyone will gather at the entrance of your company and hound you!" As a matter of fact, Chenyol had actually been forced by everyone else to make this call.

Jungkook had no interest in reunions, so he rarely attended them. At most, he would meet up with a friend once
in a while. He didn't have that many friends, and he didn't like to socialize in the first place.

However, this reunion was different because it really had been too long since he last saw his friends, and the timing for this call was a bit suspicious. He still remembered that Wang Jieun had called and talked about this class reunion.
