"Min-woo!" Jung-kook barked.
"Yes, yes! I'm coming!" Min-woo hollered from where he stood.

Min-woo became bewildered. What is he babbling about?

"You know, Min-woo," Jung-kook said, "sometimes you're very annoying."
Min-woo snickered. "Just sometimes?"
"Fine, it's all the time," Jung-kook retorted. "But I actually need to go somewhere and you are not coming."
