Teacher Song v Flirty Kim Jongin
"So, how's Jongin at school? I heard you're teaching him." Mrs.Song asked Jihyo, when they almost finished their family dinner.
It was a simple question from her mother but she found it a little bit difficult to answer the question. If Jongin is just nobody and merely her student, Jihyo would opens straight away without thinking. But now, she needs to think first what correct words that she may use to describe him, because her mother must only wants to hear good things about Jongin.

As expected, her mother knows very well what on the inside that she's freaking out.
"Arraseo, umma. If that's what you really want, I'll just follow." Having no choice, Jihyo said quitely.
After Mrs.Song done with her dinner, she stood up and begin to clean at the kitchen, leaving out Jihyo with her father.
"I'm sorry, my daughter. I really can't help you in this." Mr.Song whispered while gently pat her back.
