He caught my eye and started to walk over. I gave him a tiny wave, almost as if to warn this guy beside me that he was coming.

The driver followed my gaze and met Joyong-ssi's. He turned back to me. "Boyfriend?" he asked.

I felt Jessica laugh. I shook my head. "Friend." I said.

"Traveling with him?"

"Um... Yes." It was odd for this stranger to be asking me.

Jiyong-ssi joined us, and nonchalantly threw his arm over my shoulders. The driver shot an eyebrow up at me.

"Anyounghasayo." Jiyong-ssi said. His voice woke up a really excited Jessica.

"Anyounghasayo!" I said and hugged him. "How are you?"

"You're too cheerful. It's too early. I'm too tired." he complained. "But I'm fine." He smiled at me.

"Dad, this is Kwon Jiyong-ssi." I said, nervously. "Jiyong-ssi, this is my father."
