Ch. 32- The Ex-Wife

I know that the next time I see Jeongguk will be the time I have to break off our arrangement we've had.

I'm terrified of the outcome. There's a huge chance that our friendship will not work out after I tell him that we can't fool around like we used to. Or maybe us being in a friendship without sex will work out. Who knows? I'm just dreading the worst case scenario. Whatever happens will happen and I have to accept any outcome that comes about.

Anyway, I can't dwell on that right now. Because, at this moment, Jin and I are driving to his mom's house.

It's currently Friday evening and his mom is having a fancy little gathering with some family, friends and coworkers.

I'm incredibly nervous because of one particular guest who is expected to be there- Candace, Jin's ex-wife.

Candace and her mom will be attending the party. Both Candace's mom and Yeonseo are close friends, as well as colleagues at work. It's expected she'd be there. Yeonseo was kind enough to forewarn us on Thursday that they will be there but that we shouldn't worry about it too much. It's kind of hard not to think about meeting Candace there, but we'll try to avoid any drama as best as we can.

Jin and I just said 'I love you' to each other, so now I'm expecting something bad to happen because it all seems to good to be true.

It's wild. After all these years, I never thought that saying I love you to Jin, after he said it to me first, would be a reality, but here we are.

I know he's only been back in my life for three months, but I have this connection with him I feel like I don't have with anyone else.

We agreed to date exclusively but not rush into any major decision like moving in together, for example.

We broke up once before, so I'm still guarded. I don't want to get hurt by him again. But, we are older and wiser, so I have a good feeling about reuniting as a couple. I need to follow how I feel and all I know is I'm happy with Jin in my life. But, we are going to take things slow, on our own terms.

"Y/N?" Jin's questioning voice breaks me out of my thoughts as we are driving towards his mom's home.

"Yes, Jin?"

"I was just seeing if you're okay since you've been quiet on the drive," Jin says to me as he turns onto the neighborhood he grew up in.

"Sorry, I was just zoning out, thinking of all sorts of things," I explain to him.

"Are you worried about tonight? Because, you really shouldn't be," Jin sounds reassuring as he briefly looks over to me with a worried expression.

"I'm not worried, it'll be interesting to meet Candace," I tell Jin. I am honestly curious about his ex-wife.

"Okay, that's good to hear. And, we are here," Jin announces as he parks his vehicle across the street from his mom's home.

"Let's go then!" I try to sound enthusiastic, but I can't help but be slightly nervous.

Jin helps me out of the car and we cross the street. Once we are in front of the front door, Jin rings the doorbell and we are met with Soonae opening the door. She's holding a wine glass in her hand.
