Jennie's POV
I woke up on the couch, surrounded by the countless paperwork I had to study up on for UNI and for the company. My dad wanted me to study up on the company trades and whatnot so I'd be prepared for when I take over the company after I graduate.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes, turned off my phones alarm and sighed. I stretched my sore body, and started my study session again. After a few minutes into it, my phone vibrates on the coffee table. I look towards it and decide to pick it up. I smiled and dropped my pencil immediately. It was a message from Rosé.
I decided that it wouldn't hurt to take a little brain break and chat with my love. She was studying at the rival UNI a few miles away, not that it mattered since I was still able to see her more than I thought I would.
She was chatting to me about her day when my dad suddenly called. I sighed but reluctantly answered the call after mentioning it to Rosé. Either way, he wasn't going to stop calling me if I ignored it.
"Hey, dad. What is it?"
"Oh sounds like I interrupted something. Do you want me to call back?"
"Ah. No no. Right now is uh fine. What is it?"
"Who's Roseanne Park ?"
My heart skipped a beat. The only person who knew about Rosé in my family was my mom. It isn't that my dad would be opposed to me dating someone of the same gender it's that he had already picked someone out for me a long time ago, before I was even born.
Some agreement between his best friend or something like that. I didn't mind the idea at first but once Rosé came into the picture, I absolutely loathed the idea.
"Uhm... just a friend. W-hy do you ask?" I was fidgeting with the hem of my shirt. I really hoped my nervousness wasn't too noticeable.
"Hm. Really?" He sounded unconvinced.
I clicked the mute button and composed myself. After a few seconds, I unmuted the call and with a more composed voice replied, "Yes dad. She is. Is there a reason why you brought up her name?"
"Hm. Yes. Since you are of age and the deadline has well passed, Mr. Yoo and I decided that it's about time you and his daughter get married as per the agreement." His voice was stern with a certain finality.
"What?! Isn't it too soon?" My brows furrowed. [This is bad. Did I really miss the due date?]
I quickly got off the couch and walked to the calendar. I frantically looked through all of the days and there it was in BOLD red marker mocking me.
"Jen? Jen! JEN."
I snapped out of it and answered him. "Y-es dad. I'm still here."
"Jen, We have postponed this affair long enough. I had already given you until December and it is already the end of January. I knew that you'd forget so I gave you 2 weeks more to tell me. Mr. Yoo and I have given both of you enough time to find a suitable person for yourselves and only one of you have." His tone left no room for arguments but I still pressed on.
"But dad-"
"Jen."
"Dad, please. Give me one more week, please."
It was silent for what seemed like hours but only a mere few minutes passed. My present nervousness didn't help with the silence he gave me.
"I will speak with Mr. Yoo about your request but do not expect the answer you desire. I'll see you at diner, sweetheart, if you could.. make it of course." His tone turned soft at the doubtful words he ended with.
"Thank you dad and yes I'll be able to. I'll see you there." My body relaxed as I reassured my dad about the dinner plans.
We said our final words and once the called ended, I released a heavy sigh as I walked back to the couch and sank into it.
I jumped at the sudden ring of my phone. Assuming that it was my father calling again, I didn't bother to look at the caller and just answered right away.
"Yes dad? Do you forget to ask about something?"
"Ah yes. Of course, it is Dad." I raised an eyebrow in confusion. I looked at the caller ID and we bursted out laughing.
"Hey Jisoo. What's up?"
"Well, are you busy right now?"
"Kind of. Why? Something wrong?"
"Nah, I was just wondering if you wanted to join me, Lisa and Rosé at the bakery today."
"Of course! A little break from studying wouldn't hurt."
"Awesome! Met you there in 15!"
"Okkiii baaiii."
"Baaiiii."
Our phone call ended and I stretched out my arms before getting up from the couch to go change out of my current clothes.
After a few outfits, I settled with black plaid pants, a white button up topped with black fuzzy jacket and my small purse that had a daisy hanging from it. (A/N-I'll leave the outfit I choose from her insta at the end of the chapter)
I finished with really light makeup and grabbed my keys. Once I got into the car, I received a text from someone.
I started up the car then looked at the text message. My mood took a 180 degree turn once I read the message that was sent to me from my dad.
« Mr. Yoo and I have agreed to discuss your request but he requests that both you and his daughter be at the discussion. We will be at xxx café waiting for your arrival as well as his daughter's. »
I sat there glaring at the message he sent me and sighed after a few seconds. I texted Jisoo unnie about the situation and drove off to the café where my dad was waiting.
As I was driving, the thought of how Rosé would react to me explaining the situation to her kept ending up as an argument until I reached my destination.
I got out of the car and shook my head to drive away the thoughts for the time being. I reached for the door just as someone else was doing the same. I stopped and looked at the person and realized that it was Mr. Yoo's daughter.
She recognized me as well, "Oh! Jennie!! We meet again! How long has it been??"
I smiled at her, "Still the same as always."
She gave me a cheeky grin as I opened the door for us and walked inside the café.
