A few days later, Sana receives a request to add someone as her friend in facebook. Since her facebook is used for business purposes, she adds the requestor without hesitation. Just when she is thinking how to find out more about her new “friend”, the other party types.
Unknown: You are not asleep yet?
As if she is going to answer such a personal question from a stranger! Looking at the name, Sana figures he is probably a shy, lonely man so she gives her habitual reply:
Sana: Hi Handsome, I sell cars but am not in the market for dating.
Unknown: I am Jung Yeeun.
Jung Yeeun? The guy from the other day who bombarded her with questions when he had no intention of buying a car? She found out after he left that day that he knows her GM and was at their shop for a meeting. In consideration of her GM, she sends him a smiley face and starts a casual chat with him.
Although Jung Yeeun did not mention anything about getting a car in their short conversation, she is in no hurry to write him off as a customer and thinks to herself that she will adopt a wait-and-see attitude for this Mr Jung.

Every week, the Marketing Support Division of Sana’s company will circulate a list of potential customers whose birthdays are just around the corner to their respective sales agents. Sana is surprised to see Jung Yeeun’s name on the list when she had just chatted with him just the night before, and she sends him a “Happy Birthday” message through Facebook accompanied with a picture of a big birthday cake.
See her sincerity?
At around 5 in the evening, she receives a call from an unknown number.
Other line : “Hello?”
Sana : “Thank you. I am not buying anything”
Thinking that the caller may be some advertisement calls, Sana replies politely. When there is no reply from the other end, she hangs up.
A few seconds later, her phone rings again. Looking at the same unfamiliar number, she replies a bit more impatiently this time.
“Hello?”
“It is me.”
Geez Are you stupid!? As if I know who you are! But she said nothing instead she asked politely. “May I know who you are?”
Another silence. But this time, Sana can feel the displeasure coming from the other side of the phone.
“I am Jung Yeeun.” His voice is a little taut, as if the words are forced out from gritted teeth.
Sana is embarrassed that she has failed to recognize him yet again. She quickly consoles herself that she is not at fault for not storing his contact since he is not really serious about buying a car the other day.
“Hello Mr Jung!” Sana makes herself sound light and chirpy. “I am so sorry. My phone is spoilt so I lost your number and cannot place you immediately. Since we are on the line now, let me take the chance to wish you a very happy birthday.”
Jung Yeeun is not amused. “Sana, how many times have you failed to recognize me?”
“You are mistaken Mr Jung! How could I have made the oversight if there had not been a technical problem? Still, you are a magnanimous person so do please do not hold this against me.”
“Where are you now?”
“I am at Gangnam district.”
“I am also at Gangnam district.”
