Under The Same Roof

Chapter 29

A week has passed, marking the last week of winter break. Lisa and Jennie embark on their trip back to Seoul on a cold Friday afternoon to rest for the last weekend of the break before the start of another semester. Lisa happily drove the two back with a smile on her face, taking quick glances at Jennie once in a while during the drive, enjoying the view of her girl's curled up sleeping figure on the passengers seat, in only her grey sweatpants that she stole from Lisa, a white baggy shirt and her brunette hair brought up into a messy bun as she lightly snored. Lisa thought back to the last parting words from Kenneth that she really took to heart.

Lisa loaded her duffel bag into the back of her Jeep before shutting the trunk and leaning back against her car with her arms crossed, watching Jennie hug her family goodbye before she hopped into Lisa's Jeep. Lisa straightens up, leaning off of her car when she sees Mr. Kim approaching her. His lips in a thin line as he stood intimidatingly before the blonde with an unreadable stare. Lisa is taken by surprise when he brings her into a hug patting her back. The blonde stood there awkwardly at first before she returned the hug before the older Kim pulls back now patting Lisa's shoulder.

"You passed the test with her parents, coming out alive, good job kid" Kenneth smiled contagiously, making Lisa smile along with him. "Treat my baby girl right, if not, hot sauce won't be the only thing that will prevent you from making mini Lisa's." He chuckles playfully but his eyes told differently. "I approve of you Lisa, don't take it for granted and I hope that Jennie doesn't mess up with you as well, people like you aren't easy to find"

"Thank you sir and I promise I won't mess up, I I really like her" Lisa confidently stated, glancing back at Jennie who cussed herself out in the car when her hair tie broke midway through tying her hair up. Lisa's lips tugged upwards as she watched Jennie cutely smile when she finds one of Lisa's hair ties and successfully ties her hair up into a bun, giving a slight nod to herself as if she's pleased with how she looks while staring at the overhead minor.

"I could tell" Kenneth's voice brings Lisa out of her love struck daze. "Well, you should probably head off now, before the traffic picks up" Lisa nods ready to leave. 

"Oh and Lisa" Lisa turns back around to face Kenneth with a raised eyebrow "Please, don't call me sir." He shakes his head. "From now on, you will only refer to me as Kenneth, nothing else. Otherwise, I will not respond." He grins. The smile on Lisa's face couldn't get any bigger as she felt joy clouding around her. "Or you can call me other nicknames if I approve of it, like Ken Dawg or Big D-"

"Okay dad, that's enough" Jimin intervenes, chuckling before stepping up and bringing Lisa into a 'Bro hug'. 

"Next time you come back to Busan, drinks are on me at this nearby club, it's sick. Don't worry, there won't be anything hot nearby. Unless if you wanna come with Hanbin and me to this new strip club in town, bunch of hot chicks-"

These hot sauce references will live with me until the day I die with this family, Lisa thought.

"I can hear you, you know!" Jennie glares from the car window.

"Yeah, I don't think they're my type" Lisa shrugs, winking at Jennie who rolled her eyes with a small smile on her face.

Jimin continues with a smirk, ignoring his peeved sister. "True, you know what they say about hot chicks. A barbecue is like a woman, if it's too hot, you're gonna burn your meat"

"What in the blue heck have you been smoking Jimin, get in the house" Jessica orders.

Jimin pouts but secretively gives Lisa a wrapped package before leaving.
