38. Do-jin’s Love Manual

In the episode 11, time 18:41, Yi-soo is shocked to hear Do-jin’s proposal, “What?” Calmly, he asks her, “You want me to repeat it?” She tries to calm her frazzled nerves by taking big gulps of the cola. She sets the glass down and looks at him like the world around them has just collapsed. He chides her, “You don’t have to make such a big deal out of it*, especially on our first date.” *

She asks him why he wants to do this to her when she has finally stopped her ill-fated unrequited love and was looking forward to real love (“live pink-hued life”). “You want me to go back to jjak-love again?”

Innocently, “Yes, because I didn’t get to experience that from you. You only did that for Tae-san, you know.”
Looking incredulous, “You’re not, by any chance, jealous, are you?”
“What? Just because a guy is older and not unpleasant looking, you expect him to be a saint?”
She sounds shrill, “How can you ask me to do something like that now? You should’ve asked me before I confessed.”
Very maturely, “And that would benefit whom?”

She becomes speechless at his juvenile rationale, but blissfully ignoring her, he spews out his mandates for the proper etiquette for unrequited love according to Do-jin’s manual:

1. All day long, you shall only think about me. Without eating or sleeping.
2. In the event that I don’t answer or return your call, you should feel hurt and anxious*. *(Jun-jun-gung-gung, 전전긍긍, is a fun word, and it means to tremble with fear and worry.)
3. You shall linger around my office or my house in desperate hope to somehow run into me.
4. Even if you happen to see me, you’ll just endlessly gaze at me with tender longing from a distance*. *(Mun-bal-chi, 먼발치, is a short distance away and still in the visual field.)
5. If I’m talking to another woman, you shall be blinded with jealousy and entertain the idea of rear-ending her car.
6. You shall obtain my school graduation picture and carry it in your purse.
7. You shall now and again abruptly show up unexpectedly at my house to thrill me.

He concludes the list, “That’s it, for now.”

Her expression ranges from astonishment, incredulousness, frustration, self-pity to despair during his oratory session. She whimpers, “And if I can’t do it?”

“Then you want to go on a vacation trip with me?” Indignant, she abruptly gets up and gives him one good reason why she can’t go on vacation with him, “I have to go teach my fifth period class right now, you know!”

The way she got up so exasperated, I thought she was going to give him an ultimatum of some kind. This is one funny and peculiar lady.

39. Yooni loves…

This next scene is a touching testament as to whom Yoon’s heart really belongs in the episode 11, time 20:40. Yoon comes into the Mango café, and Mae Ah-ri is behind the counter.

She looks at him with longing while he orders mango banana and mango coconut. The fact that he orders two shakes doesn’t escape her. She looks at him sadly for as long as she can, and then she dejectedly turns to prepare his shakes. Now that she’s no longer looking at him, Yoon finally allows some of his sad longing to show on his weary face.

When she turns around with the two shakes, he turns his gaze, pretending to read the menu. She hands him the order, “Your order of mango coconut and banana are ready.” He grabs the handle and tries to turn to leave, but he realizes that she’s still holding onto the paper box tray.

Tethered together momentarily by the paper tray, he’s forced to look at her, and she petulantly asks him, “Why are there two cups? You’re going to give the other one to lawyer Gang?” The lady lawyer who works with Yoon, the one that Mae Ah-ri loathes. He gives her his patented mind-your-own-business look and walks out the café.

Outside the café, Yoon runs into one of his staff members, and he gives the shakes to her. She thanks him but asks him why he bought two, and he answers, “One is too short, and three would be too cowardly. So, I’ve got two.”

Of course, she’s clueless, but he means that the time for Mae Ah-ri to make one shake would be too short a time spent with her to emotionally satisfy him, while three would be too obvious thus cowardly. He loves her, but can’t freely express his love for her yet.

40. How Sweet Art Thee

The sweet and official dating ritual has begun for our senior love birds in the episode 11, time 37:04. Yi-soo texts Do-jin, who’s standing by the window talking to one of his staff in his office: About how far is Mun-bal-chi? (Remember “from a distance”). He turns around and sees her smiling from a distance outside the building, wearing a mini-skirt. Smiling back, he calls her and gives her a pithy instruction: “In the 7 o’clock direction, two steps backward.”

She does what he tells her to do, “Here?”
He smiles, “Yes, right there.”
“Do I look like a severely deranged woman to you right now?”
Taking a critical look-over, he makes the sane diagnosis, “You look like a woman who has fallen for me badly.”
Laughing merrily, she acknowledges his astute observation, “I can’t deny the charges.”
He wants a reassurance, “How do I look from a distance?”
“From a distance… uhmmm… you look debonair.”
“I should, because it takes a lot of effort to look debonair just standing. Come on up, (because) I look better close-up. And breathtaking if you were to examine closely.”
She giggles like a school girl, drunk with happiness.

Yi-soo gingerly walks into his office to find him grilling his secretary. In the midst of the grilling, he throws Yi-soo a question, “Are you looking for Tae-san?” Momentarily thrown off, Yi-soo asks, “What?” Then realizing what he’s doing, she gives him a wifely admonishing facial expression all women appear to innately possess.

Do-jin goes back to grilling, but short time later throws Yi-soo yet another question, “What are you doing, because I’m waiting?” Yi-soo, “What… are you waiting for?” He whispers loudly, motioning to his secretary, “Jealousy.” He wants her to act jealous.

Yi-soo grimaces from supreme embarrassment, while the secretary tries to hold back the chuckles. Yi-soo tells them to go ahead working, and the secretary takes the chance to tell Yi-soo that the whole office knows of their romance. She then catches herself and tells her boss that she did not tell a soul of the rumor.

Do-jin takes offense, “Why not? I am the one who spread the rumor. That way, I can leave early from work. I mean, you guys date within the office and get to do all kinds of unsavory things in the emergency staircase.” He’s grumbling because he doesn’t get to do those things.

The secretary wisely makes a hasty retreat, and Yi-soo can’t help but give Do-jin evil eyes for the jealousy debacle. Smiling, he just walks up to her, and thinking he’s going to kiss her, she pounds his chest telling him that he must be crazy to even think about doing it in the office, but she then realizes that he was just getting his bag. She bashfully asks him, “Are you leaving the office now?” Grinning, he asks her, “What? Should we go down the emergency staircase?” Embarrassed, she covers her face and runs away, while he just gets a kick out of embarrassing her.

In the episode 11, time 43:30, Do-jin and Yi-soo are on their way to rendezvous with Tae-san and Sa-ra at her place for dinner. In Betty (sounds funny, right), Do-jin can’t help but ask Yi-soo, “You have more will power than I thought.”

“What do you mean?”
“How were you able to hold out all this time if you liked me that much?”

She chuckles and lightheartedly shrugs her shoulder, “Well, it was because I wasn’t crazily, desperately, and hopelessly in love with you.” He shrugs right back, “That’s impossible.” For her to feel that way.

She asks him where they are going, and he tells her that Tae-san is having a home bar open party at Sa-ra’s place. She leans forward to turn on the radio, but he stops her, “Let me do it. Betty isn’t used to your touch yet.” Irritated, she spits it out, “Do you like Betty more or me?” He faces the conundrum head on, “The traffic is surprisingly not congested.” She barks the question again. Treading softly, “I’ll tell you when we get out (of the car).”

“Why?”
Whispering loudly, “Because Betty can hear.”

Watching Yi-soo at a time like this is a bit like watching the various stages of bereavement: at first there is incredulousness (denial) that turns to anger, and then she finally settles for acceptance, except she goes through this process over seconds to minutes rather than weeks to months whenever she’s with Do-jin.

Once in Yi-soo’s house, they find out that Tae-san and Sa-ra had a fight and won’t be joining them. Yi-soo’s suggestion to put his jacket in her room so that his jacket won’t absorb the cooking smell leads to his witnessing the color coded assortments of her brassiere and panties showcased on her bed for his unintended amusement.

During the ensuing melee, he remarks that they seem too big. She momentarily stops her effort to shoo him out of her bedroom to point out that’s not the case. It’s hard to be absolutely certain whether he meant the size of her panties or her brassiere. But as if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, he wants her to make a mental note that he doesn’t care much for corsets or garter belt because they just get in the way. Of course, he gets a lot of physical abuse from her for giving her such highly informative recommendations.

During dinner, she thanks him for liking her, with and without her knowledge as well as in front and behind her back. She’s referring to the audio files in the Do-jin’s secret folder. Of course, she later kicks him out of the house for answering her questions about his previous women. She asks him, but she blames him for telling her. Sometimes I’ll never understand women, and apparently even a playboy like Do-jin doesn’t understand why she’s miffed at him.

Later in the episode 11, time 01:02:05, fondly reading the Do-jin’s Unrequited Love Manual that she has copied from his phone text, she underlines the number 7: You shall now and again abruptly show up unexpectedly at my house to thrill me.

And, like a good girlfriend, she tries to fulfill that particular mandate, having decked out in the red high heels that Do-jin gave her, but she runs into a little mini-destiny named Collin in front of Do-jin’s place. In the episode 12, time 06:56, Do-jin apologetically sees her off promising to tell her about Collin later, but he also tells her, “The shoes look beautiful. And today’s day was nice, too. Bye.”

Despite the poor timing, Do-jin acknowledges her intention, which is to declare to him that she has now officially become his girlfriend.

But he doesn’t call her all day the next day, even though he’s fully aware that she must be waiting. In the episode 12, time 24:20, Do-jin checks his cell phone, and seeing that she hasn’t called, he makes an amused comment, “She’s reining in her curiosity very well.”

Well, she’s not handling it that well, because she checks her cell phone only about every few minutes all day long. Now it’s nighttime, and she’s tossing and turning in her bed. She checks her cell phone one last time. But now certain that she won’t be able to sleep, she gets up, turns the light on, and starts to pace the floor of her bedroom. Worrying sets in, and she looks out the window into the dusky evening through opaque curtain in the episode 12, time 27:00 when she gets a text from him: You can’t sleep, right? I came abruptly, so be thrilled only a little bit and hurry on out. I’m right in front of the house.

She opens the front door and comes out to find him standing sideways on the walkway. He turns to look at her with a faint smile, which causes her initial apprehension to dissipate into a faint smile of her own. But being a woman, that doesn’t stop her from asking him reproachingly, “How can you not contact me even once?”

Smiling, “I wonder who just sent you the text message.”
“I mean, all day long.”
Teasingly, “Did you think about me a little?”

She just gives him an evil eye, and he goes on, “You were hurt because I didn’t call, you also did some worrying*, and did you do some resenting, too?” *(Remember jun-jun-gung-gung, 전전긍긍, shaking with fear and worry)

Emphatically, “Yes, I did.”
Smoothly, “You must have discovered clinging vine nature in yourself, as well?”
“Absolutely.” She returns his sarcasm.
Smiling, “But even so, it never occurred to you to call me first?”
Frowning a bit, “Are you trying to be vengeful? Isn’t it common sense for one who sent me away like that to call first?”

He smiles affectionately at that, “You want to walk a little?” Thinking he’s trying to change the subject, she glares at him a little. Teasing again, “If you don’t want to walk, we can go vacationing together.” This is one of his recurrent juvenile but endearing comebacks. She makes a face, “Now, really.”

He shrugs his shoulders good-naturedly and walks away from her. She looks at him resentfully, but he stops right outside of the open steel gate, and without turning around, he sticks his left arm out with the hand open – a universal sign that he wants to hold her hand. She debates for a few seconds, but happily jumps to hold his hand when he closes and opens his fingers for her to hurry up.

This simple gesture says volumes about both characters. One, despite his juvenile language and behavior, he understands women’s sensitive nature and tries to preserve her self-respect. Two, like the Kenny Roger’s song, The Gambler, she knows when to hold and when to fold. Three, he fulfills one of her wishes, which was to hold hands in public the next time they meet.

While walking hand in hand, he asks her, “You’re curious as to whom Eun-yi is, right?”
“Of course I’m curious. If for no other reason than because of the all four men’s shocked expressions.”
“(That’s because) she was the foolish cause of a potential crack in our friendship.”
“Was she really your first love?”
“Who does first love at twenty years of age? That’s something you do when you’re 12 years old.”
Good-naturedly but also sarcastically, “I’m sure you did*.” *(Uh-ryen-ha-da: 어련하다, means undoubtedly, naturally, goes without saying)

“Twenty years ago, I liked someone. Somewhat seriously. They say he’s her son, that kid last night.”
“Up to that point, I know about.”
“That’s all there is.”
Making a face, “That can’t be all.”
Amused, “Just what is it that you want to know?”

Tentatively, she asks him, “You… still can’t forget her?” (She means do you still love her, but Koreans like to use the word “forget” in this scenario. Don’t ask me why. I’m just an innocent writer) He looks at her for a while before answering, “How can I forget (her)? I just don’t think about her every day, (now).”

She emotionally reels as his words come crushing into her, and when she doesn’t say anything, he looks at her and sees what he has done. He does an admirable recovery job, “I haven’t forgotten my friend who ruined me, the staff who had to leave then, my high school teacher, a restaurant owner who let me pay monthly during my college years, and the weather of the first day Betty came. I remember them all. Even the woman whose dress thread got caught up in my bag that day.”

He stops and turns to look at her, and she faintly smiles, coming to an understanding as to what he’s trying to say. He makes sure of that. “Twenty years from now, even if a woman named Suh Yi-soo is no longer with me, I think I’ll remember everything about her.”

Smiling more fully, “That makes sense (since you put it that way).”
Teasing her, “How can you halt jealousy that prematurely? I even rear-ended a car (in the name of jealousy).”
Smiling, “What’s the use? How can I hope to erase the memory of one man’s first love? My only recourse is to make you remember her less and less frequently, because out of all the memories, only I have the distinct advantage of being in the present.”

Reflectively, he muses, “Then, what do you think about being my future?”
Grinning, “Umm, one minute future? Okay, that long, I can guarantee.”
Grinning back, “I don’t remember seeing, be sarcastic*, in the Jjak-love manual.” *(Ting-gui-da: 튕기다: means being coy, pretending to be the opposite when she really loves him)
Enjoying the banter, “It’s just that I have a unique way of extrapolating* things.” *(She means going beyond what’s written to find other hidden or related meanings)

She asks him, “Where is the child now?”
“At Tae-san’s house.”
Surprised, “At Tae-san’s house?”
“He wanted to go there. Eun-yi really must have liked Tae-san the best. (I don’t get it, because) she really didn’t think much of him back then.” Collin went there because he likes Mae Ah-ri.
Without thinking, “I’ve told you. A lot of women think Tae-san is charming…”

He’s not amused, and realizing her faux pas, she covers her mouth in nervous laugh. Seeing his deep frown, she gives him a quick kiss on his cheek and walks away.

Visibly mollified, he can’t seem to hide the growing smile. But, he still pretends to be irritated, “What did you just do?”
Still walking away, “That was a temporary patch job.”
Walking toward her, “Even though you’re going to pay for it when I catch you…”

In the episode 12, time 32:09, we find them in her bedroom. Do-jin’s sitting on one side of her bed stroking her hair gently, while Yi-soo’s hogging the whole bed by lying down diagonally. She sleepily tells him, “Why don’t you go. I don’t want to chance Sa-ra seeing you.” Coming out of her bedroom so late at night, she means.

Still stroking her hair tenderly, “So why did you ambush kiss me like that without realizing the consequences?” He actually used the words, “…like that without fear.” He continues, “Do you feel the tension in my hand? I’m dispersing my lustful desires this way. I’m going to caress until I have no energy left.”

“I’ll be bald by then.”
Teasing, “Then I’ll have to break up with you.”
Seriously, “Don’t, because I’ll love you even if you become paunchy.”

He stops the stroking, obviously touched by her sentiment. He suddenly asks her to move so that now they are lying side by side, and she protests by pointing out that Sa-ra could wake up.

“As long as Ms. Suh Yi-soo stays quiet, Sa-ra won’t wake up.” She urges him to leave, “Hurry!” Feigning to be dense, “Hurry, what? Like this?” Then he tries to hug her.

She gets up and tells him to get up. Smiling, he asks her, “To go vacationing?” She then tries to hit him with a cushion, but he grabs her wrist and pulls her down so that her face is right next to his.

Surprised to find his face so close to her, she holds her breath. He tells her, “Sleep already. I’ll leave when you fall asleep.” When she’s still not sure with her head suspended in air about few inches from the bed, he puts his two fingers on her left forehead, and gently pushes her head down onto the bed. He then gazes at her eyes while smiling faintly, and she, now finally relaxed, returns the smile. He begins to pat her shoulder with his left hand that was already around her shoulders.

They look content to just looking at each other, but he breaks the silence gently, “Which heart is beating crazy fast like this?” Not wanting to confess, she denies it, “It’s not my heart, you know.”

Looking earnest, “It doesn’t matter whose heart it is.”
She smiles, “But then, it could be mine.”
He chuckles, “I’m glad that you don’t act experienced.”
Innocently, “It never occurred to you that I could be acting innocent?”
With assurance, “I like that part of you, too.”

After searching his face for a while, she asks him, “I have a favor to ask. Before I stop liking you, don’t stop liking me first.”

Right away, “Okay.”
Surprised, “Are you sure?”
Teasing, “I don’t know why women are so suspicious.”
“That’s because most men say one thing, and then say something else the next day. But the problem is that they truly mean it on both days.”

He offers her a solution, “Then, what about this. What I say will be so today, tomorrow, and the days afterward, at least up to a month from now?”
Smiling, “That’s a little better.”
Smiling back, “Okay. Then, let’s say that I’ll love Suh Yi-soo for about a month. Whatever comes after that I’ll let you know in a month.”

Laughing, she doesn’t seem displeased that “I’m (just) your one-month future.” He shows a fleeting disappointment to be reminded in words of the short future with her, but tiredly she tells him, “Go now. I’m sleepy. I’m so sensitive that someone moving ever so slightly next to me will wake me up…” He interrupts her by singing a makeshift lullaby while tapping her shoulder with his left hand. She smiles at his effort and visibly relaxes as she closes her eyes to sleep.

After she falls asleep just like that, he good-naturedly chides her, “So you’re sensitive, huh? And you can sleep when I’m by your side?” He means that since he’s the ultimate gift to women, she should be all over him instead of dozing off as if she’s completely bored.

He smiles fondly at her sleeping form, slithers his arm from under her, and places the blanket on top of her. He then happens to spot a bag containing the fateful red yarn, which he takes with a gleam in his eyes.

41. My Second most favorite scene

In the episode 12, time 42:25, Yoon drops by Mae Ah-ri’s house to see Mae Ah-ri with an excuse to talk to Collin. After a brief talk with Collin, Yoon comes down the steps, just as Mae Ah-ri’s walking up with a tray of refreshments.

She’s not happy, “You’ve already finished your conversation?” Yoon makes a rare uncoerced conversation with her, “What time does your shift start?” Still holding her tray, “In the afternoon or after lunch.”

“Today, it was unusually congested. Maybe you should leave early. It’s on my way, so I could give you a ride…” Mae Ah-ri doesn’t even let his sentence finish. She hands the tray to Collin, and faster than a speeding bullet, she goes into her room, gets her handbag, and stands attention in front of Yoon with a blooming smile. Even Yoon seems impressed with her efficiency.

While riding in his car, Mae Ah-ri appears to be on cloud nine, “I go by this way every day, but today, it seems like a fairytale.”

Yoon tries to keep his emotions in check, “So, did you think about what I’ve said?” About not letting her lifetime dreams of what she wants to do be derailed by her obsession with him. (In the episode 11, time 32:05, Yoon told her to not let him get in the way of her occupational dream of being a designer. Tearfully, she told him then that, yes, her dream is to be a designer, but her destiny is him and that destiny can just go by her if she doesn’t try. He replied that if he is her destiny, she cannot avoid it, so she should concentrate on her dream)

Miffed and spiritedly, “Huh! I was wondering why you weren’t bringing that up again. Of course, I’ve thought about it. Because I think about oppa all the time.” She says the last sentence defiantly but sweetly.

Almost melancholically, “Then you must have also reached a conclusion.”
“Of course I did. (I’ve concluded that) when oppa wants to utter insensitive words, he uses that kind of expression. When he wants to deliberately hurt me even more, he uses that kind of tone.”
In a frustrated tone, “What I meant was…”

“I know what you meant. To sum up, what you said was, don’t be a smarty pants and scram. So, I’ve thought long and hard (and it came to me). Ah, if someone hurts you badly, then you can’t help but keep thinking about that person constantly. So, if I want someone to keep thinking about me, I should hurt that person, too.”

Frustration evident on his face, “Hey, kid*. You know that wasn’t my point. *(Im-ma, 임마, is a derogatory way of addressing someone, but if used with someone you know well, it can be an affectionate term, but it should only be used for someone younger than you)

Derisively, “You think I’m doing this because I don’t know what your point is? You’re not exactly a spring chicken, you know. Also, you have a past (a widower), and you’re not handsome like Do-jin oppa. (So,) I don’t know where you get your self-confidence. (I mean,) I must’ve been blind. I don’t understand what I saw in someone like you. I’m just completely dumbfounded.”

The whole time Mae Ah-ri was laying it on thick, Yoon’s crestfallen face was a picture of shock and disbelief.

Mae Ah-ri glances at him askance and haughtily asks him, “We are here. Stop the car, please.” Stunned Yoon slowly stops the car in front of the Mango café, and she unbuckles the car seat, turns around, and now back to her bubbly self again, she innocently asks him, “What did you think? You were completely hurt, right? Now you’re going to think about Mae Ah-ri constantly, right?” Beaming, she gets out of the car and tells Yoon sweetly, “Have a nice day, elder*.” *(Uh-ruh-sin, 어르신, is how an older person, like a father or grandfather’s age, is usually addressed)

Then, she sticks her tongue out at him cutely, and jauntily walks into the café. Yoon looks like a hurricane just went by him, but then he slowly smiles.

Why do I like this scene so much? One, because we get to see Mae Ah-ri’s uber cute side, her wits, and the confirmation that despite her awareness of his shortcomings, she’s truly in love with him. Two, she also lets him know, even if it’s only for a short time, that he could lose her, and based on his expression, we know that he rather not experience that feeling again if he can help it. And third, she finally gets to have the last word with Yoon.

42. Vacation

In the episode 12, time 50:55, the euphoria of being in love continues. Do-jin has never found shaving to be this enjoyable as he’s looking forward to possibly spending the night with Yi-soo. He picks her up in front of her house, and as she gets into his car, she cheerfully greets his inanimate girlfriend, “Hi, Betty!”

No longer smiling, he asks her, “What did you just say?”
“Why?”
“Because you are suddenly nice to her.”
Teasingly, “I intend to stay in touch with Betty even if we break up.”
Raising his eyebrow, “That sounds like a threat to sequester or something.” As in seize and hold Betty in case of their breakup.
Cheerfully, “I have to be friendly with the house, too. By the way, where are we going?”
Smiling, “You’ll see.”

Once on the road, she asks him again where they are going, and he, now wearing sunglasses, happily announces, “To a vacation spot.”

No so happy, “What?”
“If Ms. Suh Yi-soo is not happy about that, then let’s just say that she has just briefly accompanied me on the vacation trip.”
Getting irritated, “Why is it that you don’t ever tell me (something like this) beforehand?”
Not flustered, “I wonder how many times I’ve mentioned the word, vacation, before?”
“But I’ve never agreed to it.” Willing herself to calm down, “So, where exactly are we going?”
Enthusiastically, “Choon-chun!”
“Choon-chun? We are coming back on the same day, right?”
Excitedly, “Do I look like I would do something like that?”
Alarmed, she orders her newfound friend, “Betty! Stop this instant!”
He barks a completely different order, “Betty! Onto the highway!”
Yi-soo is not a happy camper, “Kim Do-jin!”

They are both loopy (talking to Betty like that, I mean), and I think they deserve each other.

Once they get to Choon-chun, however, Yi-soo finds out that he’s there on business. After the business meeting concludes, the two lovebirds walk side by side through the tall weedy prairie of the mountainous island in the episode 12, time 54:42.

Do-jin continues to talk business to Yi-soo, “Have you ever seen the world’s most unique amusement theme park sprawling 198,584 square feet with resorts and villa where you can swim and ski at the same time?”

“Are you boasting that you did?”
“I haven’t been there, either, because it doesn’t exist yet. This is where such complex will be built. This very part of the island that we are standing on, there would be resorts and town parks.”
“Really?”
Smugly, he leans toward her, “And who’s designing this magnificent structure?”
Teasingly, “Ha! I wonder how he managed to stay single for someone so magnificent.”
Reflectively, “That’s because I was too busy failing colossally and succeeding bigger than others.”
Coyly, “Although having complicated romantic relationship is your flaw, if I had known how eligible of a man you are, I would’ve gone for you earlier.”

While she looks down demurely, he looks at her meaningfully. He then suddenly wraps his arm around her shoulder, drawing her near him.

No longer smiling, she pretends to be irritated, “Drop your arm.”
Smiling daringly, “I can’t do that.”
Acting miffed, “Huh! Some nerve claiming to vacation when you really came to work.”
“Ooh, you sound really disappointed.”
“That’s not it, you know.”
“If not, you want to go vacationing?”
Shaking free from him, “Ah, really!”
Undaunted, he brings her back to him, “Then, let’s go vacationing.”
“Now, really!”
