Silence engulfed the room. Second by second passed. Taeyeon wished someone would speak up, telling her that this is all a joke. She looked towards the girl named Tiffany. Will she stand up for herself like how Taeyeon wanted? She shifted her gaze towards her mum. Will she be able to rely on her mum once more? Her mum could only return her a comforting smile. Finally, Taeyeon could no longer stand the silence.

"Father, I don't think th-" Mr Kim interrupted Taeyeon before she could even finished her sentence.

But this time, no one expected Mrs Kim to show this side of her, especially to the Daughter she pampers so much.

"Mind your manners in front of our guest." Her stern side remains, until she sees the heartbroken look on her daughter's face. She knew Taeyeon wasn't expecting her Mother to be like this, not towards her. Mrs Kim's tone softens a little.

"Tiffany is a good girl. She has lost her sight a year ago due to some tragedy. We want to take care of her." She paused for a moment, taking time to phrase her sentence before she continued. "Your Father and
