Le prime 200 righe.
I'll just tell everyone about this.
Why didn't you tell me?
You should've told me.
Do you know how flustered I am right now?
What?
Just take a seat.
Is this fun?
Is it fun?
What do you think you're doing?
I said I'd take care of it.
I asked you for some time.
You're laughing?
How can you laugh in this situation?
Is this why you asked me here?
I apologize for laughing,
but I'm not the one who called you here.
Father asked me to invite you...
so that you can enjoy a nice meal.
You call that an excuse?
I told you before that I don't want to meet Yeon Ah's father.
I came because I thought you were here alone.
You don't want to meet me?
I didn't ask you here because I'm fond of you.
We extend our generosity...
and this is how you repay us?
Was it really you...
who asked me here?
Yes.
I asked my son-in-law to invite you here.
What's wrong?
Didn't you know I was coming then?
What on earth is going on?
You heard that, right, girls?
You heard what he calls me.
He only addresses me as Yeon Ah's father.
I'm not just Yeon Ah's father to you!
That threw me off as well.
Cheong Ah, didn't it upset you too?
Being rude to me is one thing,
but...
how can you yell at...
the vice chairman of the company you work in?
I'm sorry, sir. I think...
there's been a misunderstanding.
Just what about this got you so worked up?
Isn't getting invited to a private dinner by one's boss...
like winning the golden ticket?
You must not care about the consequences...
to yell at him like that.
I was intimidated for a second.
Go ahead and answer her, Mr. There's-No-Consequences.
It seems like you've backed yourself...
into a corner.
That being said,
could we go outside and talk in private,
Mr. Do?
It's cold outside,
so let's talk here.
If you're going to punch me, go ahead.
If not, have a seat.
My neck's a little stiff.
Let's sit for now.
I'll explain everything later on.
Cheong Ah's off at 7pm...
and Seol Ah doesn't have any gigs today.
Is Yeon Ah still at practice?
Why isn't anyone picking up my calls though?
It's as if they all agreed not to.
Gosh, that's good.
Hold on.
I get that about the kids,
but where's their father?
He doesn't even have any money, so who is he with?
Did a cat run off with your tongue? Why are you silent so suddenly?
Keeping your mouth shut like that...
won't make what happened go away.
Explain yourself or at least say something...
to remedy the situation.
Don't you agree, rude Mr. Gu?
I know it's a new era now,
but no one speaks to their boss like that.
Unbelievable.
Because of what you did, I can't seem to...
look my son-in-law in the eye.
I'm sure he had a reason.
He's not one to be that rude.
Then what's that reason?
Why won't he say anything and keep his mouth shut?
It's all my fault, Father.
You see,
we're...
We?
You two?
Do you two know each other outside of the office?
Yes, I do know Jun Hwi...
personally.
Did you hear that?
He called Mr. Gu by his name.
Doesn't that indicate they're close?
How exactly do you two know each other?
Our mothers are close.
They used to live...
in the same neighborhood.
Who's close?
Mr. Gu's mother and the chairwoman?
Yes.
I think that's enough, Mr. Do.
Your noodles will get mushy if you don't them eat soon.
I'm actually done with my meal.
It looks like you two are close...
judging by how you talk to each other.
If I had known,
I wouldn't have yelled at him for being impolite.
Why did you pretend not to know him though?
It was my idea.
The news would make other employees uncomfortable.
It'll only generate more issues.
He's never been the friendly type anyway,
and we're not that close since he went to study abroad at 15.
I didn't know until much later that he applied for a job here.
You don't know how surprised I was...
when you introduced me to him as my sister-in-law's boyfriend.
I almost fainted right there and then.
You studied abroad since you were 15?
Then you lived half your life in another country.
I'm jealous.
What's there to envy?
Living away from home is only a hassle.
Now I get why you're prickly and cold.
You already got that from him?
You went to study abroad at the age of 15?
Yes. - Where?
London.
I see.
So my brother-in-law... I mean, my sister's ex-husband.
You've known him for...
a long time, since ages ago, but you didn't tell me?
Yes.
I see.
Did you major in marketing?
No, international law.
International law?
I know nothing about you...
except for your name, gender, and where you work.
That's all you need though.
What else must you know?
Seriously?
You even learn about the breed of your dog...
when you decide to raise one.
I should at least know the basics.
So you're comparing me to a dog again?
You said it first, you know.
Let's keep to our own lanes then...
like a dog and a human.
We'll not say what doesn't matter.
What? "What doesn't matter"?
Then what does matter?
Even the smallest thing becomes special if you like someone.
"I'll text you as soon as I arrive."
When you said that, my heart pounded so much...
that I couldn't sleep at all.
That made your heart pound?
Your heart is weird.
Gosh, forget it.
You wouldn't know.
I'll just go outside and talk to the abyss alone.
Since it doesn't matter to you.
Well...
What is it that you want to know?
Are you sure you like me?
I think so.
Oh, you think so.
You're so hard to understand.
When I think we've become close,
you're a step away from me.
And when I'm anxious that we've drifted apart,
you're next to me again.
Sometimes, I feel like you're putting up a wall between us.
Am I going overboard again?
Then I'll tell you one thing a day.
What? One thing a day?
What are you, a nutritional supplement or almonds?
Are you giving alms to me or what?
If you know everything about me,
you might leave me first.
That's what my experience says.
So I'll take one question a day.
I don't want to keep making mistakes.
Anne Shirley said,
"There's a limit to how many mistakes a person makes."
The thought of it makes me feel so reassured.
You seem like...
you've already reached your limit before coming to me.
I'll never leave you first.
Don't even dream about it.
The more I know,
the lovelier she seems.
Me?
No, Anne Shirley.
Oh, well.
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
