Summary ( 10 – Let’s do it)
Housewarming party ?
- Cheol tells Ji a that his coworkers playfully asked that he hosted a housewarming party, while they were congratulating him for his marriage.
- He states that since they asked jokingly, she could take her time to think on it. No pressure.
- “Let’s do it” Ji ah exclaimed.
- Cheol is suspicious about her hasty answer, so he asked for the reason.
- She simply said “Just cause.”.
- However, she is just doing it because she hates Cheol.
- Apparently, she wants to get back at him for making fun of her “meowing”.
- Cheol nervously tries to convince her to think more on it but she insists even further.
- She teases that he simply doesn’t want to host his coworkers, which is why he is acting like that.
- She was right.
- On his way out, she waves him goodbye and he turns to smile back at her.
- That was not the reaction mischievous Ji ah was expecting.
Two hours later
- She is starting to regret her decision, after hours of struggling with the cooking while receiving instructions from her mom on the phone.
- Cheol and his co-workers arrive.
- She awkwardly greets them and welcomes them in, where she leads them to a table filled with food.
Now sis, you know you ain’t cook all dat!
- Even Cheol is dumbfounded.
- After the meal, Choi and Miss So go clear up the dishes. Choi asks her if she is now convinced about Cheol’s relationship.
- Still, So had made a request to Choi, which he said he’ll do.
I wonder what the request was ?
