NETIZEN

HUMMINGBIRD

"What's wrong?" Ga Eun asked Jun Ho once they were alone.

"Eh, it's just the guys must think-"

"Oh, am I embarrassing you?" the woman inquired with an eyebrow of suspicion.

Jun Ho squeezed his eyes, "no, it's just that they already have a lot of pre-defined thoughts about my status and now they see the daughter of the CEO of Hong Byeong won coming, it's a little-"

"Oh, chesongae yo [Sorry] Jun Ho, I didn't think it was inconvenient. I just want to see how things were going for you," Ga Eun said as they arrived at the sikdang [restaurant] close to the police station.

The gentleman pulled a chair for Ga Eun," thank you."

"I'm sorry for making you eat here, but it's better if I'm not far."

"I understand," Ga Eun replied while looking around." It's a policemen's restaurant," she said, smiling.

"Sort of everyone eats here," Jun Ho said as he looked around too, his eyes finally settling on Ga Eun, who had every gaze upon her.

Jun Ho cleared his throat making the policemen turn their stares away before continuing, "I appreciate seeing you. I'm sorry about what I said earlier. It's just I'm a little nervous."

"I can imagine, it must be difficult with all this pressure from the Song Hi's case," Ga Eun said before being interrupted by the waitress who took their order.

"Yeah, what happened to us, Koreans? When did we become so obsessed with our celebrities? I mean, the whole station is working on this, and it's not even homicide, and the public's reaction is insane," Jun Ho pursued once the waitress was no longer at hearing distance.

"You won't hear, but Song Hi was huge. I wonder who will be the next big star now she's gone. How is your father?" Ga Eun asked, seeing how bored Jun Ho was by the conversation.

"Senator Kang is fine and angry. I'm a big disappointment for him, but he has Kwon Jin. Your brother is practically a substitute son."

"Don't say that your father loves you, and my brother is narcissistic. Sorry, I should watch my mouth. You never know if a contributor is listening, I wouldn't like to be the downfall of my kin."

"Don't tell me you're into that chamber thing too," Jun Ho said, a little surprised to see how even Ga Eun was under the influence of NETIZEN.

"I'm not into it, but I can't avoid it, and concerning your father like everyone, he thought you'll become the successor of Kang.Inc or prosecutor," Ga Eun managed to slide before the waitress posed her Kim Pap and Jun Ho's Bim Bim Bap on the table with pickles and water.

The woman continued, "but you chose this path. It's admirable; I didn't find anything else to do than hide in my father's hospital," Ga Eun said, eyes twinkling with envy and admiration.

"It's so you; I mean, you are not the type of person who would voluntarily disappoint your parents."

"Sometimes I wish I did," Ga Eun replied with a tone of regret.

"What would you like to do if you could choose?" Jun Ho asked.

"I would like to be a fireman," the woman replied with a cheeky smile.

Ga Eun's words made Jun Ho laugh, "I'm sorry, a fireman, you say."

"I'd like a little danger; if not, I wouldn't mind being Black Moja."

This time the inspector regained his composure, "Black Moja is a criminal. She allows herself to substitute the law. There are courts, judges, and cops for that she can't render judgments on her own," Jun Ho said. He tapped his index on the table, face distort by the repulsion he felt towards the NETIZEN icon.
