JUST LIE TO ME

03. The Tea Party

"Mommy, can I go play outside with Seowoon Oppa?" Seojin asked looking adorable, her hair tied into a neat bun on top of her tiny head while wearing a pink tulle dress completing her princess outfit for today's party. 

Jinae chuckled after running her fingers quickly on her little girl's blushed fluffy cheeks, Seojin is too charming for her to say 'no'.

"Go on love, ask your brother first if you can join them. Chanyeol and Chanho are also playing with him, Sooah is already on her way here so tell Seowoon Oppa to let you play with them while waiting for her." the kind mother taught her little one. "Ask nicely, okay?"

Seojin excitedly stomps her way towards their backyard and immediately saw his brother and friends running around the grass maze, she smiled brightly thrilled to ask Seowoon to let her join or invite the three of them to her little tea party.

"No, you can't join us." Seowoon hissed still panting from running around their wide playground. 

"We are all boys and you can't run around wearing that dress, why don't you just wait for your friends and play with them later. Come on, Chanyeol-ah! Let's run to the far end of the maze again!" he continued after pointing at Seojin's dress, Chanho was giggling while Chanyeol was just staring at the little girl.

"I am asking nicely, Seowoon. If you don't want me to join your game then I'll just invite you to my tea party right there at the gazebo, I'll let you drink tea for free since the three of you looks tired running around." Seojin was still smiling though she feels a bit hurt that her older brother doesn't want to let her join them but as soon as she heard the three boys laughing out loud with her invitation, she wasn't able to hold her tears back and cry.

"I hate you, Seowoon and you too Park Chanho." she was crying while pointing at them one by one. She halted upon seeing the last boy who stands taller than the other two, Seojin secretly likes him better than her brother, he was smiling at her making Seojin feel a bit hesitant to hate him so she just runs towards the gazebo without saying another word.

"Can I have some tea, Miss Han?" Seojin quickly lifts her head up to see who came to play with her, she was welcomed with the brightest smile ever making her heart the happiest. 

It was Park Chanyeol, his arms extending towards her with a pink cup asking for some tea.

"Why are you here? Are you done playing with my brother and your brother? They might see you and laugh at you too, wait - you laugh at me earlier too." Seojin continuously inquired still pouting at what happened earlier.

Chanyeol cackle, the truth was he finds Han Seojin really cute asking them to have a cup of tea because all of them looked tired playing. Seojin turns eight today same age as his brother, and Chanyeol knew that a twelve-year-old boy should not play games anymore further not a tea party with a little girl but he wants to spend some time with Han Seojin, it was her birthday, after all. 

Chanho and Seowoon were both inside the house eating anyway not that he cares if those two sees him playing with her.

"You sure do talk a lot, Seojin." he muttered while looking at the cutest tea party playmate he ever met. Seojin just chuckled took his teacup and pretends to pour Park Chanyeol some tea which he swiftly took and pretends to sip. 

"Am I doing it right though?"

"You are not supposed to ask that Mr. Park just enjoy the tea and I will not talk much anymore." she responded with the cutest smirk, Chanyeol can't help but laugh looking at Han Seojin.
