Sin City ( Chaesoo G!P 18+ ) ✅

Chapter 41

"I'm a bad person." I whined tracing circles in Jisoo's sheets with my index finger.

"Don't start this shit again. You're not a bad person. You were looking out for yourself, for probably the first time in a long time."

"I promised my dad that I would come visit him tonight. How am I supposed to explain this to my family."

"You're an adult. This is your life. You chose what's best for you."

"You don't know my dad."

"I think it's time for that to change."

"What?"

"I want to meet your dad."

A knot constricted in my throat as my brain registered her words. She can't meet my dad. Dad would gut him. Jesus.

"I want to meet your dad."

A knot constricted in my throat as my brain registered the words Jisoo spoke. We were laying side by side in bed. Both of us were exhausted but I couldn't go to sleep without some clarity and apparently neither could Jisoo.

"No."

I replied, more panicked than anything else.

"It's too soon. Besides, neither my dad nor my brother ever liked any perso. that showed even the slightest interest in me. Even after being married to Chanyeol for six years my dad didn't approve of him. He's definitely not going to approve of me shacking up with the woman I left my husband for."

When I saw the hurt in Jisoo's eyes I regretted my harsh words.

"I'm sorr-..." Just as I started my apology Jisoo spoke.

"He was no good for you. What you need- what you have always needed is me."

The odds were stacked against us, I believed Jisoo. I believed in us so much I leaped into the unknown and left my marriage.

Still, the thought of my father and Jisoo meeting scared the hell out of me. My father was a cop and he was notorious for playing hardball whether that meant kicking Jisoo's ass or twisting the law in order to put Jisoo behind bars just to keep her away from me.

"It's not a good idea." I exclaimed sheepishly staring away from her.

"This relationship has already been fast-tracked because of the circumstances. Please, Jisoo, let me talk to my family alone first? You'll meet them eventually. I promise."

Jisoo exhaled a big breath just as She covered her face with her hands.

"How much time do you need?" She asked after a short while.

"What do you mean?"

"How much time do you need to get over that huge waste of time?"

I scoffed when I realized she was referring to Chanyeol.

My relationship with Chanyeol had reached its breaking point and we were divorcing but Chanyeol was my everything for a long time. I didn't want to think of him as a waste of time or a bullet I dodged.

Up until a few hours ago, I thought of Chanyeol as the love of my life so I still felt the need to defend him.

"My marriage wasn't a waste of time. You have no idea what we had." I countered snappily.

"Apparently it wasn't shit if you're laying here with me!"

That was a low blow. I felt the sting in my chest. My eyes widened at the force of it all.

"How much time?" She repeatedly.

"You're asking me how much time I need to move on from Chanyeol?" I asked for clarification.
