Cheeky PrideAfter the dinner ended, the three of them went outside to bid farewell to each other. Minhee bowed to Mrs. Seo, and said, “Aunty, thank you for the dinner.”
“No, I owe you." Mrs. Seo laughed, "Where are you going after this, Minhee?”
“I’ll just go home.” Minhee answered while she pointed to the station she was going. It wasn't that far from the restaurant, maybe 10 minutes of walking?
“Minghao and I need to go meet his father near here, do you want to come?”
It had been a long time since she saw her uncle, but her sister, would be waiting for her in the house. “I’m sorry, but I need to go home, I’m really sorry, aunty.”
