Kiss and (not) Tell
TOXICOnce again, it was a silent drive home. This time, Yubin knew it was not angry Zino but perhaps a confused one? B y which he was not alone since she was as confused as too. First it was Zino pretending he did not recognize an ex or his own name? And second of all, there was that surprise kiss. And not just a simple kiss. If Yubin was pissed drunk, she was sure that kiss might just have led them to bed by now.
"You still haven't answered my question.."Yubin broke the ice again, remembering her earlier question on him and that girl at the club.
"What question?" Zino was too messed-up to think straight. He still could not believe he kissed Yubin and that she actually let him... well, for like 30 seconds perhaps.

Zino shook his head. "I was already in the con business. Just that...." He paused for a moment. "She didn’t know I was a con artist."
"But she knows your real name? That's odd, oppa. You never give out your real name to anyone." Yubin added.
"I...I...It was a spur of the moment." He admitted. "That's why I pretended not to recognize her. She mustn't know who I really am."
"A spur of the moment?" Yubin did not believe him. Whether he was Zino the con-man or Zino the drunk or Zino the playboy, he was always Zino the great pretender who never gave away his real name.
