"Kook, Little Aunty, also wants to......" Nevertheless, before Sunmi could even finish what she was saying, Jungkook had turned his head away and ignored her.

Sunmi harrumphed and said, "Kook, that's playing favoritism. That's not cool."

"My grandson is the best," rebutted Old Mrs. Lee. Even her younger daughter needed to step aside when it came to her grandchild.

Mingyu stood quietly next to them and watched Old Mrs. Lee, Mother Jeon, and Sunmi all talk about Jungkook the entire time. All they saw in their eyes was Jungkook.

He, on the other hand, stood there and watched like an outsider as they doted on and cared about Jungkook.

Mingyu did not let that show on him. He patiently and quietly listened to the elders' chat.

Mother Jeon asked Old Mrs. Lee, "Mom, how are you feeling lately? How's your heart?"

Old Mrs. Lee had heart problems. She had been on medication and would go to have regular checkups at the hospital.

"Don't worry. I feel fine lately, and I have my medications with me at all times."

Old Mrs. Lee had her own nurses at home, but she didn't like someone following her around all the time. She did not enjoy being watched 24/7. As such, she only had the nurses responsible for her food most of the time, as she worked on eating healthily.

Mother Jeon felt relieved when she saw that her mother did look well-spirited.

Lisa watched them from one side. She saw Mother Jeon's Big Brother, Lee Taemin, over lunch in the afternoon.

Lisa still remembered that this big uncle was rude to Jungkook at the funeral. He had obviously taken out his anger and pushed all responsibilities onto Jungkook. As such, she didn't have a very good impression of this uncle.

Lisa looked over at Old Mrs. Lee. She was smiling kindly and affectionately and was looking at Jungkook with all the pampering under the sun.

It was very difficult for Lisa to picture that the old lady would have an episode all of a sudden.

She was a little nervous. She worried that she would fail to save Grandma once again and could only watch helplessly as Jungkook squatted in the dark corner of the garden under the rain all by himself.

Lisa had no idea exactly what time the incident happened, but she knew that it was roughly in the afternoon.

Thus, Lisa waited anxiously.

In the afternoon, Grandma got up to the tearoom for some tea. She had always liked tea, but she couldn't have too much of it. She would only have two small cups a day just for the taste.

"Grandma, Little Brother and I will go have tea with you," said Mingyu voluntarily. "Now that school is out, we should spend more time with you."

Old Mrs. Lee nodded happily. "You are both good boys."

Mother Jeon was chatting with Sunmi, her sister. She smiled in agreement when she heard Mingyu's words. "Mingyu and Kook should spend more time with Grandma."

The tearoom was on the second floor, and in there was a collection of Old Mrs. Lee's favorite teas. There were also a lot of famous paintings on the walls, and on the windowsill and table were a lot of houseplants that gave the place a quiet and comfortable feeling.

Old Mrs. Lee felt a little bit hot, so she removed her thin jacket.

Mingyu walked up and took her jacket from her. "I'll hang it up for you, Grandma."

"Thank you." Grandma handed her jacket over to Mingyu.

Mingyu placed Old Mrs. Lee's jacket on a wooden clothing rack by the door.

Old Mrs. Lee sat down in front of the coffee table and looked at Jungkook, her grandson. "Sit down, Kook. I remember that you like slightly sweeter tea. I'll make you some in a little bit."

Grandma truly liked Jungkook.

Mingyu walked over and sat down across from Jungkook with a smile. "I am in luck today being able to try tea made by Grandma. Mom mentioned before that Grandma had won awards for your tea-steeping skills in the past."

Grandma Song waved her hand. "Oh, that's nothing."

She stood up and walked over to the wooden shelf to pick out her tea leaves.

Lisa waited next to them. She remembered that Grandma's episode took place inside the tearoom.

Old Mrs. Lee placed the tea leaves inside the zisha teapot before she slowly rinsed them out.

Lisa couldn't explain why she was feeling nervous.

The steam rose along with the aroma of tea.

After a little while, Lisa suddenly noticed Grandma Song frowning with an odd expression on her face.

Her heart beat madly. She was just going to walk up when Mingyu's eyes flickered, noticing the change on his Grandma's face.

He stood up and said to Old Mrs. Lee with a smile, "Grandma, I am going to run to the bathroom."

Old Mrs. Lee nodded.

Mingyu walked outside briskly. He touched her jacket when he walked past the clothing rack on his way out and closed the door to the tearoom behind him.
