Evening. In a fancy restaurant. Taeyeon and Tiffany were having a dinner together. Almost done with their main course and wine.
"I'm happy that you, Jessica and Sooyoung are finally friends. Let's cheer to that!" Taeyeon lift her glass
Tiffany tossed her glass to Taeyeon and they sipped the wine.
"I'm happy too. And I'm happy that our dads accepted our relationships. Ours, Jessica and Yuri. I'm contented with my life now. Nothing to ask for more." Tiffany genuinely said and she held Taeyeon's hand
"That's good. Me, after I graduate I'll train as pastry chef. And I will put up a business here." Taeyeon intertwined her hand to Tiffany
"How about your singing career Tae? You're doing great."
"Maybe after the contract, I will stop. I just need the allowance that's why I tried this. And the schedule, it's so hectic y'know. I want to make time for you." Taeyeon winked
"Sweet. Okay... I wont force you. And I'll support you with your decisions."
"Thank you Pani ah. I really need your support."
"Wait, how about your family? You didn't tell anything. Hmm. Can you tell something about them?" Tiffany requested
Taeyeon suddenly choked and she drank water.
*cough cough*"My family?"
Tiffany nodded and smiled.
"Oh, they... They lived in Jeonju, my- my parents. I'm the only child." Taeyeon looked down
"Oh really? So what your parents do?"
"My- my father is a businessman. Just a... Small business... Yeah! And my mother- Just a typical wife. Helping her husband in the business."
"What's the business of your father? And why are you here in Seoul?"
"Actually..." Taeyeon cleared her throat "As you see, I'm independent now. We don't have connection anymore because my father, um, don't support me with what I want in my life. I always obey him when I was young, but I have my limits." She paused for a while "I can't take it anymore and I don't want him to run my whole life. I'm her daughter, yes- but I'm not her puppet." she coldly said, sadness clouded her face
"I'm sorry TaeTae" Tiffany gave her empathy
"It's okay, my mom was... his opposite though. She's very supportive. And I know one day, when I introduce you to her she will support us." Taeyeon miserably smiled "I know. Anyway, how about you? Your parents? You only mentioned your dad, how about your mom?" changing the topic to Tiffany
"My mom? She..." Tiffany paused and she was cheerless "She passed away when I was 19 years old."
"Oh I'm sorry Tiffany for that." Taeyeon with her 'apologetic look'
"It's okay TaeTae, I'm over it." Tiffany gave her eye smile "My dad was living in america, I have older brother and he's married and lived with his wife in the Philippines."
"I want to meet them one day."
"Yes, we will for sure." Tiffany guaranteed
A man came in the side of their table. The man was wearing black-super slim suit with white necktie.
"Taeyeon?" The man asked
Taeyeon eyes widen and Tiffany was giving them once-over. The latter was familiar to Tiffany. He's handsome, look smart and rich.
"So it's really you Kim Taeyeon." The man confirmed
Taeyeon remained silent.
"Excuse me? Who are you? Are you a fan?" Tiffany asked as she was observing the man
