Annyonghaseyo = Hello (formal)
Recap:
We turned around to see a black Mercedes with tinted windows, parked on the curb in front of our apartment. Out came a tall driver opening the doors; I figured that person much be rich. Unbelievable to my eyes, two middle-aged men stepped out and turned to us. It’s them! Why are they here?
“What are you doing here?” Jiyong stuffed his hands in his pocket as he closed the door to their living room. Everyone else stayed and watched the movie in the family room.
“How are you both doing lately?” the old man with thin-rimmed glasses and a black suit asked.
“Why would you care?” TOP rudely retorted which earned a nudge from Jiyong.
