The Answer
And so it begins“Hi.” He said.
“Hi.” She replied.
“How are you?”
“I’m tired. How about you?”
“Me too. We didn’t get much sleep. Do you want to meet?”
“I’m out with my unnie now. You can come meet us if you want.”
“Is that ok?”
“It’s fine. She wants to meet you anyway.”
“Okay, I’ll come over.”

“What are your intentions with our little Nam?” Nam Ji Hyun’s sister asked Ji Chang Wook pointedly, her eyes looking directly at him, cutting immediately to the chase as Nam Ji Hyun excused herself to order drinks for them.

“One final fling?”
“I am serious about your sister. And I don’t do flings.”
“How about Ms Korea? You have quite the reputation on the internet.”
“It’s not true. We met once at the party and took a picture together. We never went out. She’s just using my name for publicity.”
