Sunny’s POV
“And who is that man, huh?” I almost jumped from where I was standing when dad suddenly appeared as soon as I opened our door.
“D-Dad! You startled me!”
He narrowed his eyes at me, “Is that your boyfriend? No, that’s not him. Then who was that, Sunny? Don’t tell me you’re having two boyfriends at the same time? Oh Sunny! I didn’t raise you to be like that!!”
“Dad, that was Jared.” I said as I began walking inside, going straight to the kitchen.
“J-Jared? Who’s Jared?”
I first washed my hands before putting the ingredients in the sink to wash them. “Jared Knight.”
“Jared Knight? You mean that dude that sings like a goat on T. V?!”
“Uh-huh.”
Mom suddenly appeared too, wearing a pink halter dress with roses all over it. She looks like a curtain. Good thing my mom’s beautiful like Mira. “Who’s Jared? Why are you talking about him?” she asked.
“Honey, you should talk to your daughter. That kid is having a relationship with Jared Knight. That young man whose voice sounds like of a goat’s.” Dad said to her. “He even sent her home a while ago.”
“What?! Sunny, is that true?”
I rolled my eyes. “Mom, I just met him a while ago, okay? I bumped into him which caused all of the things that I bought to scatter to the floor. I followed him to make him pay for it and yes, I helped him hide from his fans. He paid for all the ingredients and volunteered to send me home.”
“Is that so? Well, that’s good then. I thought you’re already having an affair in your age. You know Sunny, it’s not our fault that we are a family of beautiful people, but that doesn’t mean that we can already have two meals at the same time, okay?”
“Mom, stop it already.”
“By the way, what time will they arrive again?”
I squinted at the wall clock. “Probably an hour from now. Damon hasn’t texted me yet though.”
“It’s alright, maybe they are preparing for it too. Just hurry up and finish cooking all of that okay? And don’t forget to put the secret recipe!”
“What secret recipe? Do we have something like that? Are you pertaining to a poison?”
“No! This kid. Don’t you still know our secret recipe? Really? You don’t know it?!” Mom asked exaggeratedly as if it was a very big deal.
I shook my head, “No, what is it?”
All of a sudden, dad started running towards mom. They smiled at each other then they moved as if they were going to dance. They bended their body sidewards towards each other and formed a heart shape as they both yelled, “The secret recipe is…LOVE!!!”
I stared at them without any expression on my face. “You know what? You guys should already go and seek for a psychiatrist.”
I shook my head as I continue what I was doing. This family has really no hope. Sometimes it’s really hard to have childish parents who are more immature than you.

“It’s all cooked now, mom!”
“Alright, alright go ahead and take a bath now, Sunny! Hurry up! For sure they are all on their way already! Don’t forget to wear contact lenses instead of those eyeglasses, okay?”
“But mom, I can’t—
She glared at me, “You’ll take that off or I will take your phone away from you for a month?”
“Fine!”
Ugh. They are all really the same. Threatening me by saying they’ll take my phone or my USB or my laptop away from me.
As soon as I opened the door of my room, I immediately saw a yellow V-Neck lace applique short dress above my bed, and a pair of yellow wedge sandals. Oh yes, I’d look like butter later.
I just took a bath and dried my hair using a blower. I wore the dress and surprisingly, it fits perfectly on me, although my cleavage is showed a little bit which makes me uncomfortable. God, why did even mom buy this for me? Does she really want me to look like a stripper in front of that demon’s parents?
I ironed my hair and put a black ribbon clip above my right ear to complete the look. I looked at myself in the mirror and got surprised on how I look. Now, I almost looked like my sister. But of course, she’s still prettier.
“Sunny? Are you done? The Furlords are already here!” I suddenly heard mom knocking from outside of my room.
“Alright! I’m already done!”
I took a deep breathe before finally walking to the door and opened it only to see mom standing outside. Her eyes automatically widened upon seeing me. “Oh my God… Are you really my daughter? No, I believe you are not! Where’s my daughter, huh? Where did you take my daughter?!” Mom said while looking around my room.
“Mom, could you just stop over-reacting now? I actually look like a walking corn here.” I mumbled.
“What corn are you saying? You are so beautiful, honey! For sure Damon’s going to drool over you!”
I rolled my eyes, “Or maybe he’ll laugh at me.”
“Oh come on now honey. They are all waiting for you downstairs!” Mom grabbed my hand and dragged me downstairs. She made me stop by the last two steps of the stairs and she walked ahead of me.
“Good Evening, ladies and gentlemen, the most awaited moment of this night. The most awaited girl is here, I will present to all of you, my youngest daughter, Damon’s girlfriend, and your future daughter-in-law, Sunny Peruvian!” Mom announced.
Dad even made a sound of a trumpet as I appeared in front of them. Damon’s parents started clapping merrily as if we were on a tv show. God, this is so embarrassing. Why do I have to have parents like them?
