Taeyeon's pov:
I left the school building. Hyoyeon was right - Mr. Kim, my father's manager, was waiting for me in front of the building. I had violin class after school. He was wearing long black trousers with a gucci belt, a white shirt and brown coat. His raven black hair was pulled back and glistened in the light of the setting sun. Mr. Kim always gives old money vibes when styling his daily outfit. But I didn't mind it - I find it really attractive for a man to have a taste of style.
Mr. Kim was leaning against the car door, smoking a cigar while reading his newspaper. I could see myself in the reflection of his lemon yellow sunglasses.
- Hello, Mr. Kim! - I said as I approached the car.
- Taeyeon-shi, c'mon hope in! You will be late for your violin class!
- I'm sorry for taking so long! I had some work. - I answered and then sat in the front seat. Mr. Kim threw his cigar into the nearest bin he saw and then got into the car as well. He took my backpack from my hands and put it on the back seat. Then he started the car and started driving home.
- So..how's school? - he asked while taking another cigar from his pocket. It wasn't allowed for workers to smoke on shift, but I really didn't mind him at all.
- Well, we had new student preparation. That's why I took so long - I had to give them a tour of the building.
- That sounds nice! Do you get along with the new student? - he asked.
Before I could even share what happened, Mr. Kim's phone rang.
- Yea, sir! Hello, how can I help?.......Yeah, yeah, I'm driving Taeyeon back to the house, don't be worried, she will manage not to be late for her class!........What? It is canceled. Why?.......... Okay, I will make sure to tell her. See you soon, sir! - Mr. Kim said and then hung up the phone.
He put it back in his pocket and letted a small sigh.
- As I can see,you didn't get along with the new student, didn't you? - He asked while smiling.
- It's not like that....the story is long. - I answered back. I can't believe that the director actually called my parents. Next time, he better not come to me asking for giving a tour to ,,thE cElEbriTy".
- Your father said that he will wait for you in his office.
- Why would he cancel my class? Nothing serious happened between me and that girl. Aren't yall overreacting? - I asked.
- I don't know, Taeyeon- shi. Your father has reasons. As an employee, it is normal for me not to know these personal details, you know? - he said, and then smiled to me. - We're here, good luck!
I got out of the car and went inside the house. I saw Hayeon and Jiwoong sitting on the coach and playing Mario Kart.
- Oh, unnie! Appa told me that...
- I know, I'm going! - I said before she could even finish her sentence. I went up to the second floor and walked to the end of the corridor. At the end of the hallway was my father's office. I knocked on the dark willow door.
- Come in! - shouted a familiar husky voice.
As I stepped in the room I saw my father reading some documents on the desk. My mother was sitting just next to him, helping him with the work. Dad looked up from his papers and invited me to sit down.
- I'm disappointed, Kim Taeyeon! - he started the conversation. - Can you explain these words to me ,, Taeyeon had a needy disrespectful attitude towards our new student. I would be thankful if you could talk with her about it. "
- Appa, I have an explanation! First of all, it wasn't as bad as it seems. Secondly - before meeting in school with this girl, it happened to meet her at the bus stop. She bumped into Tiffany and started throwing shame and money into her face. You told me that I don't have to show respect to these kinds of people!
Dad took a sip from his tea and put the cup down. My mother looked at me and gave me the look saying ,,Don't worry, give him some time". I love my mother for real. Only she could save me from these types of moments. After that she leaned near dad and whispered him something. Dad hummed under his nose and gave me a glaze again.
- Okay...I do agree with you. But - we can't use this rule with Jessica, Taeyeon-ah!
- Why not?! Why do yall keep acting so nice with her when she's clearly problematic! Am I the only one seeing it?!
- Taeyeon, calm down! - my mother said to me. I stopped talking and gave them a small apologizing bow for raising my voice.
- I know that it's annoying, and I'm not saying that she doesn't has any fault in this, but the problem is that her mother is about to become one of our biggest sponsors. Soon we will meet her, including you as well! Jessica will also see you in there. If she knows that you had a bad attitude, she will tell her mother for sure, like every other spoiled girl. Please, act nicer to her - I'm begging you! You have one year left in this school anyway. You don't have to become friends or something. But clean all the bad feelings between each other. Help her in things, be nice, be loving, and everything will be fine! I promise you that it would be easier for all of us.
