Nothing is going right.

I burned the food. I upset ahyeon. My dad and taehyung didn't get along.

Oh, and I might be pregnant.

What was I thinking? I wasn't thinking. That is the problem. If I was thinking, I would've realised that bringing taehyung home this quickly was a bad idea. I should have told him  more about my dad. There's nothing my dad hates worse than the feeling like someone is giving him a handout because they pity his situation.

Taehyung has good intentions. He means well. This is more my fault than his. Well some of it. He should have talked to me about JNK before he made all those assumptions. Her certainly should have talked to me before he offered my dad a job.

Despite that, it feels good to have most things out in the open. I didn't lie to my dad. I was technically only a stripper for one night and it was only for taehyung. Before that, I just did it for free as a part of my interview. I can't believe I'm rationalizing it. That part doesn't even matter. What matters at this very instant is the fact taehyung and my dad are in the same car.

What if taehyung upsets my dad again? What if they hate each other by the time they get back? I never imagined marrying someone my dad doesn't approve of. I truly want his blessings, what if he—

"Hey, Jennie. Are you okay?" monica moves closer to me and puts her hand on mine "I know things didn't go the way you expected"

"Catastrophic is more like it" I sigh, doing my best not to tear up "I can't believe taehyung offered appa a job"

"Your dad wants to go back to work" she says "I took him to his appointment earlier this week and the doctor finally cleared him for the light duty. The new medicine is working a little better than expected"

"What?" My eyebrows go up. "Seriously? Why didn't he tell me?"

"He wanted it to be a surprise when he finally had a job" she answers "Part of the reason I stayed over last night was to help him with his resume. He knows how much you're put off to take care of your family. He wants you to go to college. One of the places he is applying to has a tuition program for children of employees. If he gets a job, then you and ahyeon can go to college"

I really hope the sick feeling in my stomach is because of what she is saying. It is far too soon for it to be the other thing I'm worried about.

"I didn't know" I'm unable to stop the tears this time.

"Your father knew the money was running out. He was worried about that. He tried to look over the finances, but your system is rather complicated" she continues "He was going to talk to you about it. He said he brought it up once before and was worried you weren't putting the money you were making in the bank"
