AUTHOR'S POV:
"It's Taeyeon."
The mom blinked several times, then she chuckled. "That's funny, Fany. Please tell mom the truth. I just want to know who is he."
"I'm serious, mom. It's Taeyeon." Tiffany looked down, bit her lips, and squeezed Taeyeon's hand so tight until it trembled.
The mom's face is flushed. Her mouth hung opened, her gaze moved from Tiffany to Taeyeon, then to Tiffany again, tried to find a hint of joke from their face, but can't find one. Both of them can't look at the mom in the eyes. And at that moment, the mom knew they're so dead serious even though she still can't believe it. She lifted her index finger in the air between her and the two girls.
"Tell me that you lied."
Tiffany closed her eyes, and Taeyeon can't say anything. She didn't want to make things worse.
"Tell. Me. That. You. Lied. Fany."
Tiffany lifted her head. "I'm not lying, mom. I love Taeyeon. N-Not as a bestfriend, not as a sister." She shook her head slowly. "We are in relationship now. Right, T-Tae?"
The younger girl turned to Taeyeon, who feel even worse to say it directly in a situation like this. But eventually she nodded. "...Yes."
The mom's face is like she just got slap with a big board. For some seconds she just stared at them, then after that she stepped back and left quickly to her room, touching her forehead with her palm. After the door slammed closed, Tiffany fell to the couch. She sat there, drown her face in her both palm, elbows rested on her knee. Taeyeon sat beside her.
"You should've not told her now. It's not the right time." Taeyeon sighed.
"Then tell me what should I do??" Tiffany exclaimed, turned to her lover hastily. "There's no such a right time for my mom. She will react the same way whenever we tell her about this!"
"Ppany..."
"I don't want to marry him, Tae! I have to tell her the truth now before it's too late. Before they think I want it!"
"They already think you want it. Don't you hear what your mom said?? She saw the progress between you two! Because of those dinners! You gave them hope!"
