Original source [18]

Summary ( 18 – Blazing chicken feet.)

Don’t you remember me ?

  • Mr Choi ( Sang-woo )  also remembers who she is and shouts in excitement, telling her who he is.
  • Although she recognizes him, she seems to be embarrassed about something and thus tells him that he might have been mistaken.
  • He caught on her embarrassment and insists that they know each other by even reminding that he is the younger brother of someone she knows.
  • Furthermore that she gave him an autograph for a novel she wrote called “blazing chicken feet”.
  • She couldn’t pretend any longer.

Suddenly became a writer.

  • Ji Ah and Yeon Joo, Choi’s second sister, are friends who shared a hobby of reading novels in a reading room.
  • Ji Ah complained about how boring the novels have become and was interested in what Choi’s sister was writing.
  • “This looks so goood!” she exclaimed, being dramatic after reading her friend’s novel.
  • At that point, she found writing novels more interesting than reading them.
  • Thus she decided to give a go.
  • 3 months later, she gets awards as an author.

So why do you  really need my help ?

  • Sang-woo and Ji Ah sit at a restaurant and clear things up.
  • He then starts to talk about his problem mit Miss Soo.
  • After hearing his side, Ji Ah asks him bluntly:
  • “Do you need someone to talk to? or do you want some to simply push ( help you decide *)”
  • Hearing this, he became flustered.
  • She adds that he wouldn’t need this consultation, if the girl in question wasn’t someone he was interested in.

Okay I get.

  • After the sincere talk,  they parted ways.
  • On his way back home, he realises that calling her would be the next best move.
  • “Can I come over ?”.
