Chapter 20

"Really?"

Lisa wanted to sigh in relief, so that meant the woman wasn't going to look her down for her nationality. Many old people used to when they found out from where she was, sometimes they just used to think she was a Gangnam beauty or European and treated her better.

(a/n: a gangnam beauty is a pretty girl that looks like she had many plastic surgeries on her face, body or both)

"Yes, she was so funny and pretty," and that was the start of a really long talk about her Thai friend and Thai culture in general. Jungkook's mom was officially the most easy-going woman she had ever met.

Lisa felt at home after some minutes. It was like talking in Thai with Bambam or Sorn about the old days or about something as simple as the food that they used to eat in some restaurant after school. Jungkook's mom knew many things about habits and culture and she was so open to be explained things she couldn't understand about her friend when they were young.

Honestly, Lisa forgot about Soomin and Jungkook's existence while chatting and decorating.

"So then my friend Sora said 'your draws are so ugly' and I told her 'you're ugly too but I'm not telling you that' and she cried! She's so dumb! She made the teacher scold me because I call her ugly but I did not! I told her! I'm not telling you you're ugly!"

"But you two are still friends?" Jungkook asked, the kid was sitting on his shoulders while she was sticking green balloons on the corners of the room. She really was interesting to hear, Jungkook was sure he could talk with her for hours.

"Yes but Sora is annoying," Soomin was so done with Sora and it was obvious. "But Lili told me 'Soosoo you have to be nice with people, no matter if they're dumb'," she moved her index finger, imitating Lisa. "So we're friends," she sighed like it was such a hard work to be nice with people. Jungkook chuckled, the kid was a whole one-woman show and she reminded him to Lisa so much. She was like a mini version of her and it showed the amount of time she was spending with her, they had the same mannerisms and cute habits like the dramatic sigh or that little habit of laughing like kkkkk when she had done something wrong.

"I think-I think you shouldn't be nice with people that are not nice with you," he said finally and his eyes went to Lisa, who was immersed in a talk with his mom.

He had seen the way some classmates were treating her the last days, not all young people were open-minded since they were raised in such a closed culture but Lisa was still nice with them. Chaeyoung was glaring at them just like Jungkook but Lisa would just nod after some poisoning comment thrown at her face and then keep herself away from them, still giving nice replies and a warm smile if they talked to her after when those assholes just needed a punch in the damn face.

"I know! But Lili is telling me that," Soomin complained and Jungkook put her down, or tried, because she wrapped her legs around his waits very comfortably so, well, he let her be. "You're nice with her, right?"

"Yes"

Soomin narrowed her eyes. "You better be or else," was this small kid threatening with him with small accusing index finger?

A cutie.

"I swear I treat her good," he said, acting scared of her.

She nodded but her piercing gaze was really daring him to lie. She loved Lisa and it showed. "Protect her for me, okay?" she asked then, her voice was soft and cuter, now looking like the small child she was.

Damn, she could ask him to rob a bank and he would do it for her, this small angel was powerful. But in this case, her ask wasn't crazy, it was cute and something he was already doing.
