“Come again? I didn’t catch that last bit.”

“I said can you pass the salt over?”

         ❝ You know I don’t pick sides.❞

      ❝ You— Wait. Those fries are mine. ❞

“I only took one bite! 항상 멜로 드라마, 사촌.” (tr: Always so melodramatic cous.)

"But I’m Kevin Hwang. Incredibly handsome, kinda-nice, good with kids. How you didn’t notice me is beyond me."

“’Nice’.” Jangwoo couldn’t help but scoff at that. “A squirrel is nice, a turtle is nice. You, not so nice.”

"Are you really that unobservant? I remember you running into the studio to grab stuff for him before you would run back out."

“Like I said, working for Stephen Jung doesn’t exactly give you the opportunity to loiter around and notice people sleeping on his couch.”

"I used to crash on his couch, remember?"

“How the hell am I supposed to know that?”

"Understandable," Kevin nodded. "Ah, let me guess, our darling Stephen?"

“How do you know?”

"I was hardly excited. Just had a lot of work to do. And I work part-time as an assistant to a pompous CEO.”

"Ah, I’m surprised Phoebe or Elena haven’t told you. I work at the martial arts studio. Started a while ago and they stuck me with the kids. I had the chance to move up to older levels but I chose not to."

“ -- -- I see. Well you always did liked kids, so it’s not that surprising.”

Satisfied that he ignored the topic, Kevin smiled. “Me? I’m up here because I like the view. I’m also busy thinking about my kids.”

"Oh, was that me? Such a shame I let that happen, huh? Sometimes I wonder what could have happened if I hadn’t done that to him. Pretty stupid move of mine, don’t you agree?"

Jangwoo simply rolled his eyes, unwilling to have this conversation yet again. “You never said why you were here in the first place.”
