SEVENTEEN

I woke up to voices whispering and giggling.

"Shhh, darling. You're going to wake her." The voice of my mother came to my mind.

I fluttered my eyes open to see my mom and dad talking and Lisa's suit. I sat up and moved away from Lisa's body to run over to my dad. In my peripheral vision, I saw Lisa's arms go up. I think he was trying to catch me.

"Dad! How are you feeling?" I quickly asked.

He laughed. "I'm fine dear. What I want to know is how is my South Korean Seoul girl?"

I smiled. He always called me that since I moved away to university. "I'm good. I'm sorry I haven't visited."

"It's okay. I know you're busy."

I shook my head. "No, I should have spent more time with you. Maybe I should have stayed here and gone to PNU" I mumbled, He sighed. "Don't think like that. I know you wanted to move to the city, and I'm so proud of you for going to Hanyang. You'll always be my smart girl."

(A/n) just to warn you guys I did have a small mistake on my last update, they should be in Busan not in New Haven

I hugged him. "Thanks, Dad."

"So I want to know everything about Seoul."

I went on and on about how great the city is even with its flaws. His eyes were full of warmth the whole time I talked.

I looked over to Lisa as I realized I forgot about her. She was just sitting reading a book on the couch that we slept on. I was glad she found something to do.

"I'll be right back. I need to use the restroom." I stated before getting up.

I gave my dad a kiss on the forehead and noticed my mom and him were sharing glances, like they were communicating.

"I'll come with you honey. I need to use the restroom too." She suddenly said. I just brushed it off because I didn't want to deal with it and left the room. leaving my father and Lisa alone.

Lisa's POV

"I know who you are, King." Jennie's father suddenly said.

I closed my book and made my way to stand beside him. "And how would you exactly know that?"

"It doesn't matter. I know your type, and let me tell you about what I want from you. I want you to leave my daughter alone." He demanded. I felt fire in the pit of my stomach. Who does he think he is?

"That's not going to happen."

He chuckled. "Yes, it will. My brother is the boss of the french mafia; I wouldn't mess with me."

Jennie's uncle is the boss of the french mafia. What the hell? Does she even know? "I don't care. Whatever you think it is I'm going to do to your daughter, youre wrong. I would never hurt her. All I want is to see her happy." "You can see her happy by leaving her alone. Think about, it will end in one of two ways: you'll cheat on her many times or she ends up dead or maybe both. I know your type."

Looks like he doesn't know me at all. "You don't know me at all. I don't and will never even think of any other woman but her, and as for the dangerous aspect of my job, I will make sure she is protected. You do know, I am the most powerful boss on this planet."

His glare didn't let up. "I still don't trust you."

"That's fine. Just you know I'm never leaving your daughter." He's insane if he thinks I will. Maybe over a month ago I would have considered it, but now, I'll never let it happen.

He sighed. "Fine. Just know if I see one scratch or if she's unhappy, I will kill you." He threatened.

There was a long silence after that until I broke it. "Does she know?"

He knew what I was talking about."No."

"Should you tell her or should I? I mean, she already knows about what I do, so it wouldn't be as big of a shock." I reasoned.

"I'll tell her- just not soon. I think she shouldn't have any more problems weighing in her mind right now."

I agreed. She's already worried about her father.

The suddenly opened, and Jennie walking in happily. She skipped over to me and showed me a candy bar; it was her favorite.

"Look, they have Health bars." She smiled.

"I'm glad. Are you going to share?" I teased.

"Oh definitely not." She giggled. I smiled as I heard her giggle; it made me feel warm to know I caused it.

"But don't you know sharing is caring?"

"Well, I don't care." She was still smiling, clearly enjoying being playful after some sad moments.

"It's a shame I thought you really cared. Guess I'll stop buying you milk ice cream." I teased back.

She gasped, her jaw dropping. "You wouldn't."

"Oh I would." I smirked.

"You are so mean!" She playfully slapped my arm before breaking part of the candy bar and giving it to me.

I smiled triumphantly. "Well, I guess we could stop on the way back at the grocery store to get some ice cream." I offered.

Her smiled widened, and her eyes lit up with excitement. "You're the best." She hugged my waist.

I looked over to her parents, and for the first time since I met him, Jennie's father smiled at me. I smiled back.

Jennie's POV

My mother was getting lunch for my dad, and Lisa was waiting outside. We were about to leave, but my dad wanted a word with me.

"So...Lisa?" My dad started.

"Yeah...what about her?" I asked, nervously.

"You know who she is, right?"

"Yes."

"And that doesn't bother you?"

I scrunched my eyebrows together, trying to figure out what he was getting at. "No."

"Why not?" He asked.

"She's a good person, dad." He snorted, probably amused due to Lisa's reputation. "I know it's hard to believe, but she is."

He sighed. "Are you happy with her?"

I smiled as I thought about it. "Very."

He opened his arms for me, and I came closer to him to hug.

"As long as my daughter is happy, I'm happy. Remember though, if she hurts you, you come talk to me."

I laughed, but nodded. "Okay, Dad."
