Did your parents care that he was white?"" They never met him." I couldn't imagine taking him to meet my dad. Watching them talk to each other would've been tortuous. Also, I never wanted him to see how small our apartment was. In the end, I guess I really didn't want him to know me. With Daniel, it's different somehow. I want him to see all of me. Nicola Yoon
