Juli stepped into the living room. Still thinking about what Lisa said.

*Flashback*

When Lisa was about to enter, Juli stopped her by grabbing her hand. Lisa rolled her eyes.

  -What is it?

  -It's just, why did you bring him at this time?

Juli whispered as she didn't want him to hear it.

  -Why? What's wrong in it?

  -No... just. He's not supposed to be here now.

Lisa chuckled loudly.

  -Is it his fault that he came here to wish you?

Juli turned around to see him only playing with her son.

  -But...

  -Oh come on... he's my boyfriend. And it's my home. So, I can do whatever I want.

  -Yeah but...

  -I brought him here to spend night with him, happy now?

*Flashback Ended*

  

    -Did she really bring him to spend night with him?

She was thinking in her mind. She never thought Yoongi  as an outsider. Always cared for him the way she cared her children. She knew that he's the boyfriend of her daughter. But she could never imagine them doing anything wrong.
She sat on a couch just in front of them still staring at them. Everything seemed so doubtful about them. She couldn't even  watch them holding hands. It's not the first time , Lisa and Yoongi  holding hands, but yet she couldn't trust them tonight. Juli got up from the couch and stepped out of the room.

   -Oh... I can't let them do anything wrong.

She thought it in her mind as she was heading towards the kitchen. After a minute or two, she called them.

  -Dinner is ready, kids.

  -Coming...

  -Come quickly.

Jungkook  came first. Then Lisa and Yoongi came. Still holding hands.

  -Oh... these kids...

Juli whispered. Lisa and Yoongi  sat down and start eating. Yoongi  was kidding with Jungkook . Seeing them all together, happy; she smiled softly. It's been a long time, she's having dinner with her family, happily. Usually, she couldn't eat with her children because of her daughter. Tonight is different. Thinking about the incident that happened today morning, she closed her eyes.

   -What I got in the morning is totally different from what I'm getting now.

She whispered but Yoongi  heard what she said as he was sitting next to her.

  -Mom?

Juli opened her eyes and when she did so, she found Yoongi  staring at her with softness in his eyes.

    -Yes, Suga?

   -What did you get in the morning?

Juli was confused why he's asking this question also confused about his expression too. Suga never asked her anything  like that before.

   -Did something happen?

Juli smiled softly and moved her head as a 'No'. Yoongi  was still staring at her.

  -Did Lisa do something?

At that time, Lisa was drinking water. As soon as she heard what he asked she spilled the water on her own dress. Jungkook tried hard not to laugh, but failed. He was laughing seeing Lisa's face. Juli's eyes widen hearing his question too.

    -What? How can you say that?

Lisa moved her head towards him and looked at him. But Yoongi  didn't glance at her for once. He was still staring at Juli, waiting  for her response.

  -Mom?

  -Suga, Honey, you are mistaken. Nothing as such happened.

He was still staring at her, trying to read her mind. Juli gave him a fake smile.

  -Sure?

  -Yeah... I'm alright.

Now, he moved his head to see Lisa still staring at him.

  -Don't think that I'll forgive you if you try to hurt My Mom. You get it?

Lisa gulped. Yoongi  started to eat again after saying that. Lisa's eyes started to get teary. She lowered her gaze. She was trembling in anger. Juli could feel it. After a minute, she looked at Juli, and when she did that Juli gulped  hard. Lisa's eyes were all red and puffy. And she knows what's gonna happen next at night when Suga will go away.
They continued eating again. But this time, silently. After having dinner, Yoongi left home wishing Happy Birthday to Juli last time. When he left Lisa didn't even say goodbye to him. She was in her room. Yoongi was looking for her.

   -Umm...mom?

   -Yes, Suga.

   -Where's Lisa? Won't she come downstairs?

   -Oh... she might be busy doing homework or something.

   -Oh...

He furrowed his eyebrows, deep in thought.

   -Want me to call her?

   -No...no...it's alright, mom.

He stepped out of the door. And looked at the stairs to Lisa's room one last time.

   -Okay, I'm leaving, mom.

He said it out loudly hoping Lisa might hear him and come to say goodbye. Jungkook got the idea of him calling her like that and he started laughing.

   -What is it?

Yoongi looked at him with a serious face.

  -It's of no use. She won't come...

Saying that he started laughing again and Yoongi was staring at him with no expression whatsoever in his face. He never shows any expressions, but he's feeling embarrassed as Jungkook was teasing him.

    -Stop teasing your piano teacher, you bunny...

Yoongi told him in a cold tone. Jungkook pout hearing what Yoongi told him.

   -Good.

Yoongi looked at Juli.

  -Good night, Mom. Bye.

Then, he left. Juli smiled. She was smiling as all those silly thought about Yoongi and Lisa was wrong. How could this boy can do anything wrong or Lisa could  think of doing that!!
They can never do such things. Yoongi and Lisa are not like that.

   -Oh I'm such a stupid.

She whispered.

  -What was that?

Jungkook asked her. Juli smiled.

   -Nothing, dear. Thanks for everything.

Saying that she pulled him into a warm hug and he felt the pain in his neck again.

   -Uh... it hurts.

   -Oh, I'm sorry, Jungkook. It's all my fault. I should have been careful that time.

   -What did you do to my brother?

Suddenly she flinched hearing Lisa screaming.
Juli turned around and saw Lisa standing on the last step of the stair. She didn't know when Lisa came downstairs.

   -Sis, it's just a misunderstanding. Mom didn't do anything.

Jungkook told her hoping she didn't get too angry.

   -Oh, please  stop it now, Kookie. I know you love mom so much. But you don't know her dark sides.

Saying that she came in front of Jungkook and checked his neck.

  -She hurt you, right?

Saying that she glanced  at Juli. Juli gasped seeing her red and puffy eyes. She started walking towards her mom.

  -No. Listen to me once.

Juli tried to explain everything to her. But she didn't want to listen. She grabbed Juli's hand and started pulling her.

  -Sis, don't do it. It's not her fault.

Jungkook told her but Lisa didn't want to hear him anymore.
She pulled her mom towards the main door and pushed her out of the home.

  -You killed my dad. And now you wanna kill my brother too?

Lisa whispered. Juli was staring at her without even blinking. She was so shocked hearing what her daughter just said.

   -How can she think like that?

She was thinking in her mind.

   -My boyfriend treats you like his mom, but that doesn't mean he's your own son. You're using him against me, right?

Juli was still silent. She should stop her saying all those rubbish. But she's so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word.

  -You know what, you don't deserve love. Now, go away and leave us alone. Don't show me your face. Ever again.

Saying that Lisa slammed  the door on her face. Juli was still trying to understand  what she just heard and why she said all those. She's her mother. How can she just think her mother like that? Does she hate her that much?? That she can't even bear to see her mom's face???
Lisa didn't even give her a chance to clear the misunderstanding. She thinks her mother is a killer.

Juli's eyes started to get teary.

   -My daughter thinks I'm a killer...
