This I Promise You | ChenSung

🐥 Chapter 18 🐬

Jisung is forced to dress with a suit and a tie. His mother, Joy, cried in front of him, just to make him attend on the dinner meeting with Lami's parents and herself.

He was now riding at a car with Mr. Park and his stepmother, Yeri. He was really annoyed at the moment.

"Jisung.." Yeri spoke. "Please put your best attitude tonight.."

The taller rolled his eyes. "Yes, Mother.."

"He's a good boy.. isnt he?" Yeri looked at her husband, who was clearly invested on a book he was reading.

"Hmm..." Mr. Park hummed in reply.

Chenle got home from his partime job at the local diner. His boss gave him some fresh leftover shrimps and crabs. He decided that he will cook it for his dinner.

After reaching his apartment, he opened his fridge, and was shocked that it was almost empty.

"Urgh! I forgot to go to the market!" he exclaimed.

He took a quick shower before leaving the house for a quick grocery shopping.

"Where are you going, Lele?" Miss Rose, the landlady asked.

"Just a quick grocery shopping.. See you later, Miss Rose!" Chenle waved happily while walking away.

Miss Rose waved back while watering the plants at her mini garden.

"A ball of sunshine, indeed.." she whispered.

Jisung is now sitting at the table with his parents, and Lami's family with herself.

He didnt even ate his food. Lami's mother noticed his unusual behavior.

"Is there a problem, Jisung?"

He ignored what Lami's mother had said.

Mr. Park kicks his foot under the table to signal him to answer.

Jisung didnt even flinched.

"So.. Your father says that you have something to say.." Lami's father said.

Jisung looked at them, and of course, to Lami who was smirking at him.

In that moment, he only thinks of Chenle's face. Chenle's bright smile, how his eyes turns into crescents while he was grinning.

He realized that he doesnt want this kind of miserable life.

Lami broke the silence. "Maybe Jisung wants to ask for forgiv-"

"I dont want to get married to a girl like Lami.." he splurted.

Lami's parents was shocked, even Lami herself. Mr. Park and Yeri couldnt believed what was happening.

"Wha-what did you say?!" Lami's mother is getting angry.

"Lami is a spoiled brat who thinks only for herself and not being considerate to others.." Jisung smirked.

"How dare you insult my daughter in front of me!" Lami's father yelled.

Lami starts to fake cry in front of them.

"Is this how you taught Jisung?!" Lami's mother is literally fuming in rage. "No wedding will happen!"

Lami's parents stood up and drag Lami out there.

Yeri tried to stop them. "Wait! We can talk about this! Please!" She glared at Jisung. "You insolent child! What did you do?!"

The car ride to their mansion is really silent. Mr. Park is not talking, but deep inside, he was angry.

After arriving at home, Jisung immediately went out to go upstairs when his father grabbed his wrist and slapped him.

"You insolent child! You ruined everything! Do you know how important for the company for you to get married? You wasted all those years I've spent!"

Joy came out from their room and ran towards Jisung.

"Oppa! Stop it! Please!" Joy pleaded.

She looked at her son. "Jisung, apologize to your father.. Now! Please!"

Jisung just glared on his father.

"Yuta!" Mr. Park yelled. Yuta arrived as fast as he can. "Confiscate Jisung's wallet and credit cards!"

Yuta did what Mr. Park said. Good thing Jisung hid his handphone at the back pocket of his pants.

"Get out of the house, Jisung! I dont want to see you!"

"Noooo! Dont banish him!" Joy cried.

Jisung hugged his mother. "Dont worry, Mom.. I'll be fine.."

He stood up and left the mansion as quickly as he can.
