Somi stood frozen with shock. On one hand, she was extremely satisfied with what had just happened. No one has ever shamed or did something so unexpected to the great Lisa Manoban and she did it without flinching!

'That's my Jenjen for you!' Somi proudly thought in her head. Her excitement died down when she realized how much trouble Jennie would be in.

She snuck a glance at her brother's expression. Instead of sheer hatred or a thirst for blood, his expression was just...blank.

Lisa sat on his hospital bed, completely baffled by what just happened. He stared at the bills on the floor and on his bed.

He frowned. It was clear she didn't want or lack money. How foolish of him to think a well-dressed woman like her would have such boring motives.

Being thrown money at, hah! This was something that has never happened to him before. For some odd reason, he found it amusing. That Jennie was really interesting...

When the edge of his lips pulled into a smirk, his eyes flashing with mirth, Somi stared at her brother like he had grown three heads. Was he crazy? Did he actually enjoy that?

She was surprised when he let out a smooth, low chuckle.

"That daring woman, what was her name again?" He questioned the nervous Somi. He already knew everything about her, but wanted to tease and scare Somi for handcuffing him to the bed. Seriously, what type of little sister does that?

She stared at his evil expression, an uneasy feeling growing in her stomach. His eyes were glowing with mischief and that was beginning to scare Somi.

Somi gulped at his dark expression. She knew it all too well. He had that face when he wanted to ruin someone.

"Brother, she's my closest friend. Don't hurt her. She's already experienced enough problems in her life." Somi pleaded, walking to him and clasping her hand over his. She always did that whenever she wanted something from him, and though it rarely worked, it was better than standing there and begging him.

"You have plenty of other friends." Lisa coldly answered, showing no remorse for her position in Somi's life.

"Jenjen and I have known each other since our diaper years! Remember the little girl that used to run in our house, that was Jenjen!" Somi was frustrated at his lack of empathy.

"Remember how she used to cling to you? She was the one that always brought you tea, even though her hand would be scalded by it because she wasn't good at handling a teacup." Somi rambled on, completely unaware of the intrigued expression on his face.

'The one that brought me tea?' Lisa did remember an adorable girl with twin buns following after him. She ran after him even when he told her to go away, but eventually she grew on him. And then, when he left to study abroad, she was suddenly gone.

Lisa's expression darkened when he remembered what his parents told him. He was only gone for two years, and she suddenly became attached to some other boy, whose name was none other than Kim Jongin.

"Where does she live?" Lisa's question startled and terrified Somi who immediately shook her head no.

"B-brother please have mercy on her, don't do anything rash." Somi's lips wobbled in fear. It had taken two long years for Jennie to get back onto her feet if she experienced another humiliation and crackdown, Somi wasn't sure if she would ever recover.

Because Somi was standing so close to him, he could see the hairpins in her hair. He surprised her when he reached up to take one out and within five seconds, his handcuff was unlocked.

"Hey! You can't do that!" Somi scowled, hating herself for wearing her hair in a bun today. If it wasn't for these damn hairpins, he wouldn't have been able to escape the handcuffs. Besides, where did he even learn and master that skill?!

"I can do whatever I want." He talked to Somi as if she was a stubborn brat.

She childishly stomped the floor and debated the idea of throwing a slipper at him. But she didn't have a death wish...but the white slipper on the floor looked really inviting.

"Don't even think about it." He didn't even have to look at her to know what she was planning. He grabbed his phone from his suit pocket and texted someone.

He pulled out the IV drip on his hand, put on his coat, and slipped the phone into it.

"You can't leave yet!" Somi huffed, but she knew she couldn't stop him regardless of what she did or say.

"Really, you can't!" She whined, grabbing his arm and tugging him back to the bed.

"Don't try to stop me. I've rested long enough." Lisa gently brushed her hand off and walked out of the door. His men, the people guarding the door, wordlessly followed after him.

Somi scowled and followed him into the elevator. Parked in front of the hospital was a polished black Maybach that was waiting for them. Right behind it was Somi's personal car.

"Drive her back to the main mansion. She needs to clear her head." Lisa directed her driver before climbing into his own car.

Somi's mouth fell to the floor. She couldn't believe he would send her back to the main mansion, she was going to be scolded by her parents for allowing him to leave the hospital!

The driver walked out of the car and opened the door for Somi who climbed into the car, fuming and cursing her older brother.
