5. Dissuade: to advise (a person) against something
"I really don't think you should do that." Taiwan stared up at the giant pile of fireworks Korea had stacked in the middle of China's backyard, while China enjoyed a cup of tea indoors.
"I'm gonna do it." Korea shouted while striking a match. Taiwan shook her head and sighed. She gave up on trying to dissuade Korea from doing anything idiotic years ago.
"I'm taking no responsibility if Yao tries to kill you." Taiwan backed up from the mountain of fireworks. He cocked a brow upwards, seemingly thinking twice about his decision, but he grinned.
"Nah, China won't kill me." Korea dropped the match and set fire to the pile. The fireworks suddenly lit up and shot out in all possible directions, lighting up the afternoon sky with colorful bangs, pops and whizzes. Taiwan clapped her hands together as she heard the faint crash of glass coming from inside the house. China must've broken his tea set.
"That's so cool!" Hong Kong came running out with a video camera. Taiwan huffed. China was probably going to kill them all for making him drop his tea. She really needed to hang out with other nations.
