Company Meeting Or Date?

Namsoon told him about how Mongolia and Korea are so different.

The vast grass and mountains are different like day and night. Korea had its own towering buildings and Night Lights.

Nam-soon: Visit Mongolia next time and see it for yourself.

Si-o recalled the incident when Tsetseg prevented the Plane from crashing into the airport. He had planned for it to cause mayhem, but he was glad that it didn't, because he met her.

Si-o was comfortably sitting on the chair, smiling while looking at Nam-soon, who was intriqued at the Mongolian display.

Si-o:*curious *
Tsetseg, Why did you decide to come to Korea?

Nam-soon was picking up a black Loovuz hat, that was hanging on the wall, when she heard Si-o ask her a question.

Nam-soon: *answers while putting the black loovuz hat on her head*
To marry a Korean man, of course.
*grins*

Si-o: *interest greatly piqued*
Why?

Nam-soon: Its because I'm already 22 so its time to look for my lifetime companion. I'm in a very limited-time schedule. I only got 1 year before I turn 23. So as the saying goes. An early bird catches the worm, an even earlier bird catches the clew.

She played with the flap on the loovuz, then a thought came over her.

Nam-soon:Speaking of Country
*looks at Si-o & smiles *
Mongolia and Russia are just neighboring country. We only have a border to separate between us.

While Nam-soon takes out her phone and search for the World Map, Si-o was looking at her, wearing a black loovuz hat and glance at the traditional costume of the Mongolian folks hanging on the display, he could somehow picture Tsetseg in the plains and dessert, he smiled subconsciously with that thought.

Nam-soon found the Mongolia and Russia land map & showed it to Si-o.

Nam-soon: The Map doesn't show the location of My village. But as long as I know the way home, then it doesn't matter.
*smiles cheerfully*
Its amazing that we live just close to each other- I mean our country are, but we somehow got to meet in Korea. Its such a strange coincidence.

Si-o: *smiles back*
Maybe its fate

Teacher No arrive just in time after Si-o finish his reply. Nam-soon didn't have time to think of a response, and got distracted by the sweet aroma of meat. Teacher No pushing a butler trolley, made up of two rectangular tiers of marble sleeves, serve the cooked dishes on the table.

Nam-soon:*thoughts*
Isn't this too ostentatious.
*while looking awed by the luxurious trolley*

Its time for the taste evaluation. Nam-soon was busy slicing the lamb chops, while controlling her strength to cut the meat smoothtly, and not cutting the plate along with it.

When she took a bite, it tasted almost close to the original dish. Its still delicious but not as delicious from her memory.

Nam-soon:  I approved
*gives a thumbs up to Teacher No*

Teacher No saw her from the counter and showed a thumbs up back to her for appreciation, proud of herself. She didn't know what to do after the break-up with Ji Hyun-soo so she went to a Mongolian cooking class just to learn the dish that Nam-soon mentioned before. Back at the Geumju Hotel, the restaurant serve Lamb chops and Khorkhog ( a barbecue cook in a tube) in Mongolian style, as requested by Nam-soon when they had a meal together.

She had never tasted such heart-warming, steamy meal, and love the dish ever since.

Nam-soon while eating, watch Si-o reaction. She hadn't paid attention to his expression before when he invited her to dinner before.

Si-o ate the lamb chops silently. Mongolian Lamb chops are well cooked so there should be no blood from the meat after its cooked.

She knows that Si-o is not a good person, so she wouldn't be surprise if he had killed a person before.
However, She abhors killing, but Si-o appears to be numb to it, more like, he got used to it.

She wonders what kind of experience he had growing up, that he got used to it.
So the only way is to slowly, guide him to a path away from blood shed. She should plan it carefully.

I'll ask my mom how to plan like a scheming villain, when I get back home. Just like in the K-drama.

She picked up another meat and chewed on it enthusiastically.

Nam-soon poured Soyombo on a Mongolian style shot glass, and handed one to Si-o to try.

She watched him smell the drink cautiously.

Nam-soon eyes looks on with interest as Si-o drunk it in one go.

Si-o hand slightly trembled, as he swallowed, but he regained composure in seconds.

Si-o: I never had this liquor before
* wipes the side of his lips*
its strong

Nam-soon was looking forward to Si-o reaction again like the past, and this time she got an even bigger impact.
Her brain just blanked as she froze when Si-o wipes his lip with his finger.
Did that alcohol stain on his lips just sparkled?!

Nam-soon look at the liquor of her shot glass. Hers was not sparkling. Then how come his is?
Did Teacher No bought a different liquor.

She finished her shot quickly and poured him another glass.
She wants to see it sparkle again. Just to be sure. Not that she want to see him wiping his lips again.

Nam-soon: Try it once more.
See if you can adapt to the taste.
*tries to act convincing *

Si-o look at Nam-soon grinning face. He just thought that she must be happy tasting the food and drink from her country. That she wants to share the good things with him.

This time he didn't drink the shot in one go, he savored the drink before swallowing it.
