"Have you ever heard of statutory rape?" Jennie's father's face was red with anger. He was almost shouting at Lisa while the latter sat calmly in the Kim's living room.
On the sofa across from it, Jennie was barely pale but her chin was up like a royalty.
"My daughter is a minor. Whether she liked what happened or not, you took advantage of her."
She didn't know how her father knew where to find them. But he was an Minister of National Defense man so he must have had source. When they landed at the Mokpo Station from Jeju Island her father was already waiting for them. He's with some of his men.
"Get in the car, both of you." This is the only thing he said. He did not speak again until they reached their house. There he released everything he had hidden in the two hour drive from Mokpo Station to Seocho-gu.
From what he was saying, Jennie guessed that her father already knew everything that happened from her attendance at Jungkook's party as well as the time they left the place together. If this question is based on the woman, even what had happened in the cottage did not survive it either. Unless, they are just being caught to confess.
Whatever it was, she had never seen her father so angry. In her entire life, this was the only time she heard him raised his voice.
"Appa." She began in a small voice.
Mr. Kim turned to her. "And you! Don't insult me by denying anything. You disappeared for two days with this woman. Don't you dare tell me that nothing happened when my men saw you kissing in the car before you left!"
She swallowed. "I'm not going to deny anything. But I'm the one to blame, Appa, please.. Lisa doesn't know how old I was."
Instead of what she said is helping, the old man looked more and more like he was going to have a heart attack.
Before anyone could start again, Lisa interjected. She won't allow Jennie to take all the blame. "I'm taking full responsibility for what happened, Sir."
Mr. Kim voice was hard when he spoke again. "You'd better. I know about you.. everything about you.. Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban. You come from a good family. You are twenty-four years old and you have just been promoted as one of the vice presidents of the company owned by your family. You have been working there after you graduated. On the side, you are doing feasibility studies for other businesses you want to venture into. You have a full life ahead of you. I'm am sure you will not want to waste that inside the prison. You marry my daughter or I will make sure that you rot in jail. And I don't care if you're a woman!"
"Appa, please.." Jennie protested. She feels so ashamed.
She was ashamed of her father because of the situation she was in. But she is more ashamed of Lisa because of her father being impossible. Her father was acting like they were still in the middle ages while Lisa was only looking at her, ready to come to her rescue if she so much as showed distress.
She was even surprised when the woman suddenly spoke. But what Lisa said surprised her even more. "I will marry her if she would have me, Sir."
The old man partially stopped his litany when he heard that. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Lisa. "Oh, have no doubt about that. She would have you."
Jennie couldn't hold back her frustration. "Appa, please! Can you atleast listen to me?"
Her father approached her. "No, you will listen to me. It's about time you learn to take responsibility for your actions. I was wrong. I was too lenient with you. But this time, you have gone beyond limits. I will not tolerate this. I have always been vocal about the declining morals about our youth. I will not have a daughter who would be the worse example of how low our morals have become. If you think you had enough reason to sleep with this woman, then I'm sure you will also find enough reasons to marry her."
