Mun-jong, who'd been looking at Jeong-eun with a displeased face, spoke first.

"So what is it this time with you?"

"Never mind that — what were you and Kim talking about?"

Mun-jong scowled at Jeong-eun answering his question with a question of her own and said,

"If you've come to see me, state your business — why are you asking me questions?"

"Who said I wouldn't say? I'm just asking what you and Kim were talking about first."

Jeong-eun glanced at Seong-ho.
