Dong Kyung meekly sat on the living room floor in front of the coffee table, facing her Auntie. She observed the woman who raised her to adulthood, drink a small glass of water, wipe her mouth satisfied once her thirst is quenched and chunked the glass on the table. She purposefully glared up at the tall male standing beside her niece.
Dong Kyung tugged on Myeol Mang's hand, attempts pulling him down, he merely stands, gazes down, dark eyes meet her brown ones, mouths, "What"

He complains, loudly

Turning to her Aunt, smiles sweetly, says,

Her Auntie clears her throat, sitting primly, smiles at the couple, says,

"Yes, my Aunt Kang Soo Ja. Boyfriend?"
Aunt Soo Ja continues politely
"I've heard a lot about you."
Dong Kyung shocked, says,
"Heard a lot, from whom?"
Aunt Soo Ja grabs her phone, swipes across the screen, slides the phone across the table towards Dong Kyung. On the screen is a picture of three people, Dong Kyung, Seon Kyung and an oddly looking Myeol Mang.
Dong Kyung grumbles,
"Tak Seon Kyung, this little…"
