Tiffany X Sehun Parade

Boys

"A girl can wait for the right man to come along, but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones." -Cher

Tiffany remember her late Mother when she was alive. She, on Tiffany's eyes, is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Her Mother loves her children equally, Tiffany is aware of that, but she thinks to herself that she is the special child to her Mother.

Every evening just before bed, her Mother would come to her bedroom after visiting her other siblings.

She would tuck her in her bed and starts to pat her head softly. Tiffany would ask for a story to read, and her Mother would comply.

One night shifts their habit. Her Mother found Tiffany silently crying to herself. She suspected something is going on with her youngest child since she arrives home from her school. Seven years old Tiffany tries to wipe her tears subtly on her blanket, but Her Mother has eagle eyes.

"Something's wrong?" Tiffany's mother asked softly after sitting herself on the bed. Her second daughter stares emptily at a random spot, her little lips pouting, and her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"I hate boys" She sulks finally after a minute of silence. Her Mother supress a laugh.

"And why is that?"

"This one boy Mom..." The seven years old sit straighter and look fiercely at her Mother.

"...He keeps pulling my hair! And scribbles on my books! And steals my food!" She stories hotly with a passion of anger.

"And he is everywhere, Mom! He is there when I am playing! And He sits beside me!" She huffs angrily. There might be invicible fire upon her head judging from how red her face is. Her Mother can't hold her giggle anymore and let it out. Tiffany looks at her like she is betraying her. Her Mother thinks it is about time. This boy is having a tiny elementary crush on her daughter.

"Oh honey..." Her Mother soothe her while rubbing her daughter's head lovingly. Tiffany's anger cease a little.

"Maybe if you don't ignore him and starts playing with him he will stop?" She suggests.

"Hmmph" her stubborn daughter folds her tiny hands in front of her chest and pouts again.

"What about this? I have advices about boys and I will tell you time by time for your future"

She perks up. "Boys? There are more of them in my future?" She asks with disgust and her Mother chuckles.

"Ofcourse! Here is one for tonight. Find a guy who..."

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot"

She is twelve years old when she encounter her first boy that speaks to her about his attraction.

The boy asks her to meet him behind the school building where a tiny park is located. The park has several tall trees and green grass with flowers that makes it looks like a tiny meadow. It might be quite romantic for someone who is about to confess to a girl, if they both even know what romantic means.

Tiffany realizes three things when the boy is giving her a speech about his feelings.

One, he acts so full of himself. Like he is 300% sure Tiffany would say yes.

Two, she can see several boys hiding behind a bush. Not very good at that. They are snickering to each other as they hear their friends speak.

Three, what the hell does this boy is saying because she can only makes out one to five words. Tiffany doesn't speak Korean. When her Mother died when she was eleven, she and Her Father leaves to South Korea.
