Ih Na and Rae Won were wrapping up their visit to the Jeongdong Observatory, when the latter thought about bringing her to Happy Bread to meet Bom So. Today was Bom So's birthday and his only wish was the simplest and the funniest; to meet Ih Na, the woman he claimed to be his best friend's future girlfriend.
Rae Won may have seemed a bit hesistant at first, but ended up asking her anyway, thinking that he had nothing to lose. Fortunately, Ih Na had no other plans for today, and decided to tag along.
So here they were, at the small and cozy Happy Bread bakery, trying to stop themselves from laughing as they noticed how Bom So's jaw had dropped at the sight of Ih Na.
"Omo (Oh my)... so I guess Rae Won wasn't joking when he said that you were really pretty." He said. "You know, you look like that actress from... what was that show again... Crash Landing On You? Neh, neh (Yes, yes). Son Ye Jin sshi!"
Ih Na smiled in reply.
"I get that a lot, but I don't really see it." She said.
"Well I do, and I'm pretty sure Rae Won does too." Bom So uttered, playfully wiggling his eyebrows at his best friend. "Did you know that he's had this big fat crush on Son Ye Jin ever since we were in high school? He even had posters of her hung on his bedroom walls and-"
Rae Won cleared his throat in embarrassment.
"Araso, gumanhaeyo (Alright, that's enough)." He said.
"Waeyo (Why)?" Bom So teased. "Don't you want Ih Na to know that you had a fanboy phase?"
"Rae Won ah, gweanchanha (Rae Won, it's okay). You're not the only one with a fan phase anyway." Ih Na smiled. "I've been following Hyun Bin's career ever since I was in middle school. Practically swooned and continue to swoon over him up until this very day."
Rae Won smiled back.
"That's really cute." He uttered.
Noticing the little sparkles in their eyes as they talked and gazed at each other, Bom So couldn't help but smile. It's been quite a while since he had last seen his best friend this smitten over a woman, and he sure was glad that the woman was Ih Na. Truth be told, he could care less that she was Yong Hwa's ex-girlfriend, because they were long over anyway, and the fact that Yong Hwa didn't want nor need her in his life anymore was as clear as fresh water.
"Anyway Ih Na, do you go to noraebangs (Korean karaoke rooms)?" Bom So asked.
"O, kureomyo (Of course). My best friend and I love to go to noraebangs." Ih Na replied.
"Chincha (Really)? That's great! I guess can count you in, then." Bom So uttered. "You see, I usually celebrate my birthday with some fried chicken and non-stop singing at noraebangs. It used to be just me, Rae Won and Yeo Ri, but now we have you onboard!"
