Fucking Perfect GxG (Jenlisa Adoption)

Chapter 44

"But why did I have to come to this stupid wedding?"

"Lalisa! Watch your mouth!"

Lisa's mother peered at her through the rear-view mirror before turning her attention back to the road in front of them. Lisa was leaning against the window in the backseat while her mother drove and Jieun rode shotgun.

"My co-worker's wedding is not stupid," her mother continued. "Maybe it'll show you what you could achieve in the future if you actually behaved and acted like an adult."

Well, I wouldn't want one of my achievements to be getting married off to some dude, Lisa thought scornfully, but she held her tongue.

Earlier that week, the younger daughter couldn't believe her ears when her mother told her that she was expected to come along to another lawyer's wedding. Lisa knew that said lawyer, a young member of her mother's law firm, was getting married, and that her mother would be attending. But she never imagined that anyone would want her to come.

Lisa's mother was mostly embarrassed of her, so she typically just dragged Jieun along to her work or social outings. After all, the eldest daughter was the perfect child in the matriarch's eyes and was on track to do the same line of work as her.

Lisa was sure that her mother didn't even mention her in conversations with her co-workers and friends.

And that was just fine.

But here they were, Friday afternoon, making a seven-hour drive down south to where the wedding was being held. Apparently, it was being held so far away to accommodate the groom's family who lived down there. What a pain in the ass.

Having to be pulled out of school just to attend an event with people she didn't know or care about...well, she supposed that at least she wouldn't have to sit through her boring classes.

Or see Jennie.

Well, that last part felt oddly bittersweet to Lisa, but she tried to ignore the tiny part of her that felt the slightest bit disappointed.

"Just please promise to behave yourself, Lisa," her mother started again.

Lisa folded her arms over her chest, staring out the window at the passing landscape.

"Sure, whatever."

The drive was finally over as the sun set in the unfamiliar town. After enduring a long wait for a restaurant for dinner, they checked into their hotel, hauling luggage with their dresses and shoes for the big occasion the next day.

Lisa hadn't even seen her dress. She didn't own any, so she imagined that her mother and Jieun just picked a nice but conservative one for her to wear. They knew how much of a hassle it would be to try to drag the teenager out to go shopping for something she didn't want to attend.

But Lisa was too exhausted from the trip to even worry about that now. When they checked into their hotel room, she collapsed on one of the two beds, sprawling out to take up the entire surface.

"I hope you're not planning to sleep like that," Jieun remarked.

"Oh?" Lisa asked, not looking at her as her face was buried in the blankets. "And why's that?"

"Because we'll be sharing that bed, obviously."

Lisa sprang up, looking at both her and her mother, the latter of whom was busy opening her suitcase to pull out her toiletries.

"Huh? What's up with that?" Lisa hated sharing a bed with anyone, much less a sister who she had a rather rocky relationship with.

"Oh, what's the issue, Lalisa?" their mother chimed in. "You two used to share a bed whenever we went up to the mountains to go skiing
