[CONTENTID1] Dear Daughters [/CONTENTID1]

[CONTENTID2] “Each snowflake was a sigh heard by an aggrieved woman somewhere in the world. All the sighs drifted up the sky, gathered into clouds, then broke into tiny pieces that fell silently on the people below. As a reminder of how women suffer.”― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns [/CONTENTID2]

[CONTENTID3] Suji was woken on Saturday morning, just before the ground buried Baekhyun in her nightmares. She broke in cold sweat as Taeyeon screamed her name. Steam erupted from the kitchen and the scent of burned meat caused bile to rise up her stomach. Suji covered as she winced.

            She stomped into the kitchen where Taeyeon fanned the dense smoke with an exasperated expression. “Suji, thank goodness you’re up! My friends are coming for lunch at one. Could you please run to the store and get some beef? I’m after burning this one.”

            “I can see that,” Suji quipped sardonically.

With a bitter after taste, she took a detour to the butcher’s. Though it was rare, she hated guests at their house. Taeyeon had a small inner circle, but her mother loved to socialise, even though they were too broke to host most of the time. Once the food was ready: kimchi and tuna soup, some sushi with cheese and spicy salmon, beef bibimbap and pickled sides, Suji proceeded to get ready.

            Taeyeon wore a flashy dress that people would have thought was not age appropriate for her. Her make-up was flashier, and she wore giant hooped earrings, and a sparkling statement necklace. Suji opted for something simpler, a black knee-length dress with a chiffon style skirt instead of Taeyeon’s sparkling blue. She added some smoky eyeliner and a red lipstick that Taeyeon insisted despite her protests.

            Then, the guests arrived an hour late, much to her luck. They consisted of three ladies she had never met before. Ladies who wore branded items from the tip of their snooty nose, to the pointy heels of their smooth toes. Yoona was the kindest out of the three, but Hana and Mari regarded Taeyeon’s simple house with a haughty grimace. They picked on their food while Yoona and Taeyeon chatted happily, and in the end decided not to eat.

            “Oh I’ve already ate,” said Mari, when Suji asked her why her plate was still full.

“And I only eat meat with American quality beef,” said Hana. She smiled to reveal her pearly veneers. Her nose was also too straight to be true, and her pointy jaw could have cut through the meat without the use of forks.

            Suji’s mood darkened, and perhaps she expressed without knowing, because Mari later said, “Your daughter lacks social skills, Taeyeon. You need to find people her age group. Is she nineteen? Perhaps Yoona’s boys might be a good fit.”

            “Oh, I don’t know if that’s a good idea, Mari,” said Hana. Suji wondered if her chin would drop to the floor if she landed a neat kick underneath it. “Yoona’s boys are as classy as her. They need someone as intellectual as their superb minds.”

            Yoona snorted and waved her hand dismissively. “My boys can hardly read a sentence off a book, Hana. The youngest one though, he likes to read, and writes some bizarre stories. But his older brothers are a lost case. Taeyeon, you’re so lucky you have a daughter. If my husband never hired a cook, I’d be doing all the cooking myself.”

            “Oh, Suji’s like my rock you know,” Taeyeon added, as enthusiastic as ever.

“Maybe it wouldn’t be so hard if our culture didn’t force girls to do all the house chores,” Suji added, bitterly.

            Taeyeon heaved a nervous laugh. “She’s got a great sense of humour too.”

“Far from it,” Mari said dryly. “Anyways, it’s been a pleasure. We better get going. My husband returns from the hospital in an hour, and I better make sure he’s got dinner at his table. You know how men can be—they can’t think on an empty stoma

Chapter 11: It’s interesting what Sehun told Suzy that “ as long as she is the same inside then he was good.” It could mean that Sehun is comfortable with Suzy, and he likes her company.
I wonder how will Sehun be forgiven by Suzy?
Mmm Baekhyun’s words to Suzy is going to haunt Suzy a lot?

Sehun’s brothers are so different. I am curious about Sehun relationships before he met Suzy because of the way he expressed about Jin.

It looks like a lot of people was admiring Suzy.

Hope you are doing great!
I am looking forward to the next chapter!
Take care!
Hugs ^^,

Chapter 10: As much as I loved the Baekzy (friendship;p?) moments I was missing Hunzy so I'm happy Suzy had a moment of weakness in front of Sehun and he's trying to make things right with her<3 It was also refreshing that Krystal isn't actually bad or as shallow as she was portrayed before, and although I never cared for Yoomi (not sure why, I didn't hate her she just wasn't likeable to me) if it was in fact her who's been spreading the photos, I think it'll be sad... Even if Suzy didn't consider her a friend like she does with Jieun, Yoomi was someone Suzy seemed relatively comfortable around:( anyway... Update soon wonder if we'll get a confirmation on the camera culprit and how people will react after Sehun's speech:D

Chapter 10: I like the friendship that Baekhyun and Suzy is creating.
I wonder if It is really Yoomi who posted the photo. I can understand the pain of being or feeling betrayed for a friend.
Suzy's reaction is not just about the photo. It seems about her past, where she lives, and the bullying she suffered in high school.
Sehun is kind. Hope the speech helps, and people leave just forget about the kiss.

Sehun's story is interesting. ^^,

I am looking forward to the next chapter.
Take care.

Chapter 9: I like how Changmin brought up that Suzy isolates herself but has a kind personality and I'm happy they have a family that cares about them so much:) I also love Baekzy's understanding of one another, and wonder what Baekhyun meant about Sehun not being able to see the real Suzy<3 Also love the SNSD mentions and can't wait to see what happens next XD!!

Chapter 9: I laughed when Suzy answered Baekhyun "yes" when he asked her: " do you think I am stupid?" lol
It was interesting what Baekhyun told her about Sehun and herself, but is he right about it?
Also it is fascinating what Baekhyun asked himself about why he can not like/love Suzy.
Does Baekhyun's mom abandon him and his father?
I think Suzy cares for Baekhyun because she thinks he is her childhood friend, and she saw though his mask just like him to her mask.
Mmm I don't know if something will happen between them, but maybe Baekhyun could invite her to his father wedding to have someone who understand him there. It's just an idea that came to my mind. jajaja
We did know more about Suzy family.

I am looking forward to the next chapter!
Have a great night!
Take care!
Hugs ^^,
