hc; family ( current state )
mentioned: @fmdjiah
thing’s are good at home..for the most part
well..partly good at home
thing’s are good with her step-mom and her family, she hasn’t done anything to really cause an embarrassment and her connection to her family isn’t super public
people know she’s an idol that has a wealthy background ( even if married in )
but things with her dad aren’t..great..in fact, he threw a bunch of her problems in her life, like thinking of the current state as a problem
he didn’t cause problems ( not with her at least ) but he did make things uncomfortable in the worst of ways
which brings her to current state, ever since she found about jiah, ( since last year to be exact. it was hard to believe this much time has passed since they found out. ) thing’s have just been different in ways she isn’t sure how to cope with
at the same time she found out about her sister, she found about her dads illness. and considering his track record, she’s scared to bring it up to her step-mom
( because that leads to thoughts of he’s telling the truth, if something happens to her, what would they do? has she been apart of the family long enough to be cared for even if she didn’t have blood relations. it was something to worry about another time. )
so..she doesn’t know how to interact with her dad, he tossed a sister into her life
and he tossed her into jiah’s life
which brings her to her sister, as a person, jiyoo is crushed for jiah. it wasn’t fair and her -their- dad had no reason for doing that. for walking out and coming back now. when he knew jiah all of her life, if he wanted a relationship, he should’ve went to earlier
and the way he did it was awful, she shouldn’t have been there. this wasn’t fair to the both of them. she shouldn't been forced to feel awkward and jiah should’ve been able to have alone time with him. not a reminder.
it was the worst thing he could’ve done and she was upset for jiah
which brings her to another thing she feel’s sorry for..
he’s her dad.
as horrible as he is, he’s her dad and her dad had just upset two people’s lives. he didn’t realize how bad it was.
and now around jiah, she feels awkward and sorry. she’s hesitating about saying his name or saying the word dad. she knows she’s blunt and can think without speaking tactfully. she’s scared it’s going to happen
it’s complicated and somehow she wants to make it easier. even if it means not really having contact with jiah, right now she’s very reactionary. it’s easier to jiah draw the line ( even if it’s a little cowardly. )
right now, when it comes to home or the thought of family, it’s very chaotic. she’s someone loves to visit home but she hasn’t been in a while. only coming to important family events and she’s mostly with her step-mom. it’s easy to tell something’s up but she hasn’t been asked yet.
overall, she’s not sure where’s she’s at with her dad and her sister yet but she hopes it works out for now the better. for now, she’s more comfortable with focusing on work more than anything else. ( and wondering what she could say to jiah when she was around her. )
