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.

2 hours later

  • After two hours of baby sitting, she is exhausted and done.
  • She finally realises the greatness of parents.
  • As the kids demand she plays with them more, the door bell rings.
  • She wonders whether it is a delivery.
  • Ji ah opens the door and there standing was Cheol holding a box.
  • She slams the door close, worrying about why he was there, while Cheol kept knocking at the door and calling her name.
