Nari's POV

" I need you to be my guardian. Make up some excuses that mom and dad can't come. " I said and Taeyong groaned.

" Why must I- " I cut him off.

I took out 20,000 won from my purse and I waved it in front of his face. " Of course I must! " He snatched the money away.

" When? " He asked.

I looked at my phone, " tomorrow. " He nodded as he noted it down in his phone.

" Did you do very badly or something? " He asked and I shrugged. I will only know my actual results in tomorrow, in front of Taeyong and that is why I didn't want my parents to go.

Just as we were done talking, my parents came back home with groceries in their hands. " Help! " My mom said and the both of us went over to help her.

" Did you guys just disregard me? " My dad asked as he held even more things in his hands as he tried to closed the door behind him.

I grabbed his things along with some of my mom's, he smiled slightly. " I must be your favourite child. " I said with a grin and he ignored me.

" I'm going to cook dinner now so get ready to eat in a bit. " My mom said and we nodded.

My dad sat on the couch with a newspaper in his hands. " Wow, apparently Korea's economy is flourishing. " He chuckled.

" Don't talk to me about economics. " I said.

I have enough of Micro and Macroeconomics. Studying that in school makes my head burst especially Microeconomics.

Taeyong sat down beside me, " How's your studies going? " My dad asked Taeyong.

" It's okay but all the history about art and their whereabouts is tough. Other than that, it's okay. " He said and I envy him so much.

" You study art? " I asked and he looked so done with me but I genuinely have no idea.

Taeyong is the kind of student who says his worst subject is history of art but would end up doing well. He literally scored an A minus for that subject.

I eyed my dad, " Isn't it going to be you and mom's anniversary? " He stared at me for a bit before gasping when he realised he forgotten about it.

Taeyong shook his head, " Shut up. You forgot about my birthday too. " I said and he smacked my head.

" You don't even know I study Art until today. " I avoided eye contact with him as I divert my attention back to my dad.

My dad started panicking, " It's literally tomorrow. " He started to get all flustered. Since it's tomorrow and it's already night time, there's not much he can do.

Taeyong's eyes lit up, " A friend of mine is the owner of this fancy restaurant. I can book a table for the both of you at 7pm tomorrow. " My dad nodded.

" Get mom a bouquet- " Taeyong cut me off.

" Mom doesn't like flowers. " He said.

I glared at me, " Let me finish my sentence. Get mom a bouquet of kitchen utensils. " My dad chuckled at that idea but trust me, he will get it.

" Is it too little? " I shook my head.

I gave my dad a pat on the shoulder, " Don't worry. You don't usually do much for mom so she'll probably cry. " I said and Taeyong chuckled.
