Summary ( 14- Perfect timing.)
What was the reason ?
- Ji ah’s younger sister and her brother-in-law along with their two kids, dishevelled, stare and wonder why Ji ah is at their house.
- So basically, Ji ah came to the conclusion to leave the house because of how awkward she felt after Cheol acted like that kiss did not happen.
- However she decided to go to her sister’s home after weighing her options.
- She opted out of going to her parent’s house because it was far and if she went, she wouldn’t be as free.
- Friends? she has no friends. As she focus only on work after 25 and barely socialised.
- Furthermore, since she was the one who set up her sister and her brother-in-law, she felt they would welcome her because they “owed”her.
Of course I am only here because of my nieces and nephews…
- The sister asks Ji ah for the reason behind her visit.
- Ji ah says she just wanted to see her sister, her nephews, her niece, etc.
- Her sister was touched sarcastically by how her older sister was considerate about her family and says “perfect timing!”.
- Why ? since her sister is at home now, she finally has the chance to go out with her husband and not worry about the kids.
- She thanks Ji ah for babysitting as she leaves the house with her husband.
- On the other hand, Ji ah feels scammed and punished.
