She had a tiring night taking care of a sappy Kim Dasom and her on-and-off boyfriend, Jung Seongjun.

Dasom had ordered too much food and drinks. Not wanting to waste them, Yeoreum ate and drank as much as she could. Dasom was paying anyways... She took Dasom home and tucked her in bed, then went back to her own house.

The next day, she didn't have classes, so she decided to go out and shop at the mall. She got ready and went out of the gates, only to see Ina's dad smoking.

"Oh? Did Ina left already?" She asked. At Ina's name, he perked up.

"You know Ina?" He asked with suspicion.

Yeoreum nodded with a smile, "We're quite close."

He looked at her up and down. "Ah, you're the one that came with her yesterday."

"I'm Han Yeoreum, and I live next door too." She motioned to her house, and held out a hand for him to shook. He ignored the hand, and Yeoreum had retracted it awkwardly.

"Can I ask what your name is...?"

He just completely ignored her and continued smoking, facing away, as if he wanted her to scram.

So that's how it is,

"You're not close to Ina, aren't you?" She chuckled.

His head immediately whipped to her.

"What do you mean, not close?" He asked back, offended.

"You don't know what she likes, you don't know what she dislikes," She listed off with her fingers one by one, his eyes widening by each point she pointed out, "You don't know her favorite snacks, you don't know her favorite games, you don't know--"

"Okay, okay! Stop. I know." He cut her off.

"What? You know nothing." She said sarcastically, and proceeded to walk.

"Wait!" He called out to her and grabbed her arm, almost making her trip. She gasped and whipped her head around to glare at him.

"What?" She said in distate. "You're hurting me."

He looked at the hand that was holding her arm. He must've neen too rough, as he immediately let go ajd apologized.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay..." She massaged her arms a little bit, and sighed as she saw his face. No matter how conceited Yeoreum thought he may be, she couldn't deny a father that cares for a daughter.

"What do you want to ask?"

He seemed to think for a little bit, as if he was shy. Yeoreum could see some of Ina in him.

"What does Ina like...?"

"Honestly, the only thing I know is that she likes games and the snacks I bought her. She's very comfortable with the things she already has."

He sighed at the answer.

"My turn. What's your name?" Yeoreum asked back.

"What?"

"It's only fair that you answer my question too. Would you rather I call you 'Ina's alcoholic dad'?"

He glared at her.

"Bok Gwiju."

"Nice to meet you, Gwiju-ssi." Yeoreum smiled slyly. "Now I'm off to go. Bye!"

She turned around and started walking.
