Almost Lethal (COMPLETE)

The girls are about to start their breakfast together. JenChuLiChaeng and Heejeong. But Lisa's mother is still busy with the clothes she's washing.

"Umma, just eat with us. Later with that." Lisa utters while looking at her mother in the sink, washing the clothes by hands.

"You know I have to do this. We won't be able to pay the rent if I didn't."

Jennie looks at Eomoni, then to Lisa.

"Then I'll help you first before I eat. You girls can start already." Lisa stood up and goes to her mother.

"No, Lisa. I can do this. Just eat with them. They're here because of you." Eomoni utters while carrying some of the clothes outside and puts them on the pail then went back to get some more.

"Umma, it's okay. They can eat without me."

"I told you, Eomoni. You don't have to pay the rent." HeeJeong stood up too.

"I have to, HeeJeong-ah. It's the least we could do for welcoming us in your house. Come on, girls. I've been doing this for a long time already."

"Umma.."

"Lisa, it's okay. Go eat with them." Eomoni utters while grabbing the clothes from Lisa's hands. The girl pouts and sits with the girls again.

"How much is Eomoni getting from washing the clothes?" Jennie asks.

"10$ per kilo."

"How many kilos she washes?"

"5 kilos, I think. Almost 6. And she's always missing the meal just to finish them."

"How much is the rent?"

"90$ per month."

"That isn't enough to even pay for a month." Jennie muttered. Lisa glared at her.

"There's nothing we could do. I can't even apply for a job because of my condition. And my mom? She can't do much job anymore because of her age." Lisa utters while looking at Jennie, defending their situation in life.

ChaeSoo looks at Jennie. Then to Lisa. Jennie looks at ChaeSoo also. Then they all laughed out of the blue. HeeJeong looks at Lisa, who's glaring at them already.

"Go on! Laugh! You rich people will never understand our hardworks!" Lisa yelled after she hit the table angrily.

"Why are you getting mad?" Rosé chuckles.

"Tss! You know what.. if not for my mom, you're not here anymore. I shouldn't have let you sleep here and just let you go home last night eventhough this is a long way to Seoul. Damnit! I lost my appetite already." Lisa stood up and walks to her room.

"What the hell did we do?" Rosé muttered.

"She's sensitive when it comes to her mother. She knows her mother's sacrifices just to protect her. May I ask you.. why did you laugh? Because that's really triggered her." HeeJeong utters.

"Don't get us wrong, unnie. Because they don't have to do this. They have a choice." Jisoo replied.

"And that is?"

ChaeSoo looks at Jennie. HeeJeong turns to her too when she saw the two.

"To go back to Seoul."

HeeJeong leans her back to her chair.

"Their life was there and most probably still. And Lisa? She's the richest among us here. Even among the agents we know." Jennie utters.

HeeJeong looks at Jennie with wide eyes.
