“Taeyeon, I don’t understand why you didn’t tell us any of this before.”

“Only a few people knew before you, it’s hard telling anyone. I don’t even think I’ll tell any of my other friends about it until I really have to. And um, did you not just see Dad? He stormed out of here, yelling at me in a different language without even looking at me.”

“Your father just needs some getting used to, is all. Honestly, he shouldn’t be behaving this way; we had expected that all of our children were unorthodox in some sense.”

“I know I should’ve told you guys about this before, but, everyone already gangs up on me in this house. I didn’t want you guys to know about another flaw of mine that made you think of me as an imperfect child.”

“Of course you’re an imperfect child, everyone is. No one can please everybody, and you shouldn’t have to. Take your siblings for example: Hayeon is the embodiment of sass and Jiwoong believed that we didn’t take his music seriously.”

“You know Jiwoong is in New York?!”

“Who do you think got him that scholarship? But that’s not the point; the point is that none of you kids should feel like you can’t tell us something, especially if it’s so important to you, like your uality or your passion.”

“Mom…I really love Tiffany…”

“I can see that, Taeng. If you said it was any girl, I could totally have guessed it was her.”

“Mom…I don’t want to lose her. I-I don’t know how to feel, or-or what I even want. It’s hard just saying I love her, b-because everything between us is screaming at me to not be in love with her and I still do.”

“Taeyeon, you shouldn’t cry over this, honey. This is partly my fault, it’s also a part of you, but you shouldn’t think too far ahead. You’re still in high school; you’re not even a senior yet. I think it’s precious that you feel so strongly about anyone when you’re so young, but you’re so young. It doesn’t feel like it now, but you have your whole life ahead of you. Yes, what you do now will affect your future, but everything will fall into place when you get older. Love Tiffany all you want, but don’t carry these burdens that comes along with it. One way or the other, your relationship with her will work itself out.”

Sun: like, will she be good enough to introduce to the fam?

Sent on 9:35 p.m.

Hyo: exactly dont get stressed out or anything man

Sent at 9:42 p.m.

Tae: I don’t really remember how it happened. I never thought of us anymore than friends until she confessed to me a long, long time ago. And then while she was getting over me I started realizing that I really liked her too. It took such a long time for me to sort myself out, sometimes I’m still not sure, but I try and think about us drifting apart, about her falling for someone else, about me not having someone to talk to, about finally being able to hold her and just kiss her head. I think you’re really in love with someone when they can make the simplest pleasures extraordinary, you know?

Tae: I would like one day for Tiffany to meet our family. She’s the kind of girl who wants that kind of experience, to just naturally be able to meet and get to know her partner’s family, but I still don’t know. She’s also the kind of person who wants to be in a lot of relationships, she just likes experience. We’re both not even sure if either of us can stabilize a real relationship. But, I hope that one day she’ll join me to one of our family functions, probably at Christmas or a reunion, and that she’ll be my girlfriend when you see her, Hyo.

Sent at 9:45 p.m.
