Understanding Simple (Chanyeol X Reader)

Chapter 32

Hellooo...anyway just wanted to point out that I have no idea what Chanyeol's family is like, so I am just going to make up personalities and background stories. Enjoy!- Tara 

(y/n) POV

I am sitting in my car outside of the restaurant. It's a very expensive brunch place on top of a hill in the countryside, and I am totally under-dressed. I am wearing jeans, a black shirt with an army green jacket. 

I thought we were going to a casual restaurant, like a noodle shop. 

I am screwed. 

I take a large breath in, trying to give myself a pep talk. 

"Com'on (y/n), you can do this. Plan and then execute! They are Chanyeol's family, they will like you. And if they don't, then I guess they'll have to live with it anyway..." My eyes shift around my surroundings. I check my phone nervously, looking at the time. I'm two minutes late. 

I wish Chanyeol were here, I think to myself. I shake off the nerves and head inside.

Inside is gorgeous architecture, with high ceilings and many beams that criss-cross different ways. 

I walk to the hostess, "hello, I'm here with a party of three, Park should be the name." 

"Of course," she says with a smile, "follow me." 

She leads me through the restaurant as I watch people eating together in expensive outfits. I look down at my clothes, giving a long sigh. We make it to the back of the restaurant and she opens the door, revealing a private room. 

Inside are two women, who I presume to be Chanyeol's mom and sister. They turn their heads at my presence.

"You must be the lovely (y/n)!" His mom says sweetly. They stand and walk over to me, pulling me straight into a hug. 

After we pull away, I notice that both of them are in jeans as well, and I silently thank God. 

"It is so good to meet you too. I wish that we wouldn't have to meet each other this close to the wedding, I feel like you're letting a stranger into the family..." I say. 

"Oh, we've heard all about you (y/n), Chanyeol speaks highly of you," Mrs. Park says, leading me to the table. 

"That's very kind of him! I'm glad that I get to have a chance to have brunch with the two of you," I say. 

"Oh," his sister begins, "the pleasure is all ours! You must be so stressed, having to plan this wedding by yourself...we apologize for Chanyeol, but that's his job."

"I understand completely...it is a little stressful," I explain. 

"Well, we're here to make you're planning less stressful, we would like to help in any way we can," Mrs. Park suggests. Three waiters approach our table with plates overflowing with food, "I hope you don't mind that we ordered for you." 

I watch as the place is places in front of me, steam flowing from fluffy eggs and colorful pastries. I look at it in astonishment, "I don't mind at all...this looks amazing!" 

"So, (y/n), tell us about yourself..." Mrs. Park questions. 

After a ton of food, stories of Chanyeol as a kid, and many laughs, the brunch has ended and I walk to the entrance with the two women. 

"Oh, I forgot to ask you, Yoo-Ra. Would you like to be one of my bridesmaids? It would be a dream to have you in the wedding," I ask.

Her eyes light up, a smile planted on her face, "I would love too! Thank you so much!" she says while hugging me. 

"Great! I'm so glad you accepted!" I speak. 

"Would you like me to put together a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding?" Mrs. Park asks. 

"Oh my goodness, that would be perfect. Thank you!" I accept. 

"Okay then," she says, "we will see you the day before the wedding! I wish you well, (y/n), call either of us if you need anything...we are so happy the Chanyeol chose such a beautiful and kind girl." 

I blush at their compliments, "thank you. I'm just so happy that you guys like me. I'm going to be totally honest, I was really scared to meet you guys." 

"Well, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. Welcome to the family," Yoo-Ra cheers.
