Chapter 6 People Management
-JUN'S PARENTS PLACE-
*Jun's mom was cooking*
Jun's grandmother (GM): Is today a special day?
Mom: We might have a special guest.
GM: Might? So are they coming or not?
Mom: If they don't come, we might get big money. Either way, it's a good thing.
GM: So it's that kind of day.
Aunt: I'm at the real estate agency. I came to sign the rent contract in Bong Hyang's stead. The time was set for 10AM. I was told to sign it if you don't come by then.
Jun: I'm on my way. Wait a bit, Aunt.
Mom: *checked the time* Sign it at 10 sharp.
Jun: Hurry, Erin!
*Calling.... Shin Bong Hyang (Jun's mom)*
Aunt: Hello? Sorry. We'll have to cancel the rent contract.
-JUN'S PARENTS HOME-
Jun: I'm here.
Mom: Welcome.
*everyone's face was shocked because of Erin's clothes..her hair..*

-PARK-
Erin: So the mom who invited me over...was your mom?
Jun: Yes.
Erin: She thinks we're dating?
Jun: Yes.
Erin: And you want me to fake a relationship with you?
Jun: Yes.
Erin: And meet your parents?
Jun: Yes.
Erin: Did i look like that desperate for marriage?
Jun: Huh?
Erin: You're not asking me to marry you but fake a relationship. You must think I'm crazy about getting married? It's so absurd and rude.
Jun: Would you marry me if I actually asked you to?
Erin: What the.. So you're actually interested in me? *Laughs* No, thank you. Even if you were the last guy on earth... I wouldn't choose you, ever.
Jun: Thank you. That's exactly why I need you. The reason I'm taking you home is so I don't have to get married.
Erin: "I have a girlfriend. No more blind dates." Is that the plan?
Jun: Bingo.
Erin: If you don't want to get married, just tell them. You should talk it out.
Jun: If that would simply solve it, would I have come all the way here? I'm in a financial rut right now. Just help me out until that's solved.
Erin: You need to live off your parents. But you don't want to live the way they want. Why should I help with such a sneaky plan?
Jun: I'll pay you. What's your hourly pay? I'll pay you three..no, no.. I mean fivefold.
Erin: I wouldn't do it even for a million bucks! *I walked away*
Jun: *I still have to follow her* Then, do you want to try again with Jai Lee Hoon?
Erin: I barely survived breaking up with him because of the humiliation. Start over with him?
Jun: Or you can start a new life with a new face. I'm a plastic surgeon. Oh, you don't believe me? Here. Look. *I gave my card*
Erin: Geez.
Jun: Dumped girls come to me all the time. To get prettier and take their revenge. What about you? Your face requires revenge. I'll help you. Here.
Erin: What's with you?! It's actually all your fault. Everything started when you appeared. And you were there at the most humiliating moments. Now I realize I was embarrassed at his house because of you! I'm a convict now, too!
Jun: It's not 100% my fault. If you were less...
Erin: How dare you say that! You think I'm a pushover? Just leave. Before.. Things get ugly. Getting on my nerves...
*Jun still followed Erin*
-MALL-
*May was waiting*
May: Unnie!
Erin: Hi, Song Hyo May. Wow, you look great today.
Jun: Jang Erin's friend? You're beautiful.
May: Who...
Erin: Just ignore him.
Jun: I'm Gong Tae Jun. Nice to meet you. *I gave my card to May*
Erin: Hey, really? Will you just leave?
[Plastic Surgeon, Gong Tae Jun]
Jun: You're going for drinks, right? They're on me.
May: We're actually going clubbing.
Erin: Clubbing? You said you'd buy tofu kimchi and rice wine.
Jun: Rice wine sounds gloomy. Clubbing is best for improving your mood.
May: Of course. I brought your clothes too.
Erin: I....
Jun: You're a great friend, with sense too.
Erin: Hey!
May: You want to go with us?
Erin: May!
Jun: I'd appreciate it.
May: Unnie, let's go! Come on!
Erin: Forget it. I said no! Why should i go clubbing with that jerk?
-CLUB-
*Loud music... May was dancing.. Erin was just sitting and drinking.. And she got drunk*
Jun: One more glass here.
Waiter: Sure.
Erin: You think I'll join you...in that fraudulent scenario? You made me a convict.. And took my tofu kimchi too!
Jun: Mianheyo. I misunderstood you. And unintentionally hurt you. But I.. was had by you too. I had juice thrown on me, was hit by a beer bottle...so let's just call it even and make up! Where are you going now?
Erin: *I went...walked away.... His just so annoying. Ugh* Stop following me! I'm going to the restroom!
-TOILET-
Erin: My head hurts.
May: Where'd you find the plastic surgeon?
Erin: It's not like that. He's Jai's friend.
May: The guy that made you become a stalker? why's that guy with you?
Erin: I know. I don't know what I'm doing here. I want to go home.
May: No way. This is your problem. We have a ton of Plan B's here. Why do you think I suggested a club? Just because you lost a guy doesn't mean it's the end of the world. I wanted you to have a good time.
Erin: What? You want me to have a one-night stand?
May: I mean healing yourself. Healing.
*DANCINNGGGG*
Person 1: How big is your party?
May: Two...
Person 1: We have a party of two too.
May: Me..and a really pretty girl.
Person 1: We have two also. Me and a rich friend. We can have a double date. Yes.
May: That's nice. She was feeling lonely.
Person 1: Lonely? Ok, see you later.
May: Unnie.. I caught one. He wants us to come to their room.
Erin: I don't want to.
May: Let's go! Come on!
Person 1: They're coming. She's dying of loneliness. I love your blazer. Let's go! Yeah! You see them? Hey!
Jai: The day has come.
*Erin was dancing backwards and Jai was dancing backwards too so they didn't notice each other when....they faced eachother.....*
Jai: Jang Erin!
Erin: You!
Person 1: You guys know each other?
Jai: Must you go this far?
Erin: You think I came to see you?
Jai: You're saying this is a coincidence? You came to a club for a one-night stand with some guy...and it happened to be me? Oh dear, Jang Erin...
Erin: What? One-night stand? You were going to pick up a girl for some fun tonight? I'm now a convict because of you!
May: So he's...
Jai: She's the girl I told you about.
Person 1: What? The stalker? Dang! She came here too?
May: He's the guy that charged you with stalking?
Person 1: She got her friend involved too. It's all planned out.
May: What do you mean? You hit on me first.
Jai: Tell me the truth. Why did you come here?
May: Didn't you hear she became a convict today? She wants to forget about it. It's all your fault!
Jai: Stop! I was the target of course.
Erin: What! I can't go clubbing? You can have fun and I can't? I just happened to run into you! It's no crime!
May: It's no crime!
Person 1: Stop it! Shall we call the cops?
May: She just went to the court!
*Jun came running to Erin when he saw him*
Jun: Oh, there you are. I looked all over for you. What are you staring at? Huh?
Jai: Gong Tae Jun.
Jun: Jai Lee Hoon. When did you come here?
Jai: Why are you..
Jun: Didn't I tell you?
Jai: Huh?
Jun: I'm seeing Jang Erin.
Jai: What?
*Erin walks away*
Jun: We'll talk more later.
-OUTSIDE-
Jun: You're just leaving? You just want to be made a fool of again?
Erin: Why'd you help me? You're Jai's Friend.
Jun: That's why I can help you. I'll help you get your revenge. I'll make him fall for you. The moment he does, dump him the same way he did to you.
Erin: Will I.. be able to do that? Do I.. have that in me?
Jun: Just do as I say.
(5 hours ago)
Jun: So, you're coming?
Erin: Still, meeting your parents is a bit much.
Jun: Do you love me?
Erin: Huh?
Jun: You don't need to get on their good side when you don't even love me. You can do whatever you want. Whatever.
Erin: Let me get sober first.
Jun: What a slob.
(3 hours ago)
-PARK-
Jun: Erin! You can just go.
Erin: Still, I can't go with empty hands. Come on.
Jun: What?
Erin: I don't want to go.
(1 hour ago)
*Jun pushed Erin inside the car*
Erin: Hold on.
Jun: What now?
Erin: Let me get changed first.
Jun: No, it's just perfect.
Erin: Please.
Jun: Hurry.
Erin: This is crazy!
(NOW)
-JUN'S PARENTS HOUSE-
Erin: How do you do?
Jun: This is my girlfriend.
Mom: It's so early today...
Jun: I spend all night persuading her... to come home with me. I brought her before she changed her mind.
GM: You were together all night?
Erin: I'm sorry for the short notice. Only the convenience store was open.
Dad: Thanks. Sit down first.
Erin: Sure.
*Jun's Mom gave Erin a blanket to cover her legs because she was wearing shorts*
Erin: Thanks. Hay... I feel drunk if I'm warm.
*Jun's mom almost spilled the coffee*
GM: You must have a high alcohol tolerance.
Erin: Yes. My parents own a liquor store. I'm sorry I couldn't make it last time.
Mom: I understand it wasn't an easy decision. You're not sure of your relationship yet.
Erin: Thank you for understanding. We made it official not too long ago. We're still getting used to each other. So you can just watch our relationship grow. I don't understand why you need to... Get the family's permission like this. Yes, the parents can pick who you'll spend the rest of your life with. But the ones taking responsibility for that choice... are the ones getting married.
GM: So you don't want us to get involved, correct?
Erin: We'll love each other and fight like crazy. When we're sure we want to be together... we'll come again for official permission. Please wait until then.
*I took the coffe and drank it*
Jun: Good?
Erin: It's warm. It's really helping my hangover.
Mom: But... Shouldn't you know about Gong Tae Jun's family? I'm not sure if you know, but he's the only son for 3 generations. We're not extremely conservative... but we have our own ways. You will probably have to change your lifestyle. Keep that in mind for your relationship. *Then suddenly Erin fell asleep*
Aunt: Jun's here! Hi, Jun! Who is that?
Jun: Hey..
Aunt: Who's that?
-OUTSIDE-
Erin: I'm so sorry. I fell asleep.
Dad: Thanks for feeling comfortable around us.
Aunt: It's too bad I missed... I mean, didn't get to talk much.
Erin: Yeah, it's too bad.
GM: You can come again next time. We can have rice wine.
Erin: Sounds good. My pancakes are the best. I'll visit next time.
Mom: Have a safe trip back.
Erin: Thanks. Sorry about today. Bye.
Jun: We'll get going. Let's go. Bye!
Aunt: Stop waving eomma.
GM: WHY?
-CAR-
Erin: They're such nice people. I felt bad about lying to them.
Jun: You were an expert at it.
Erin: I was just telling them my honest thoughts. Except for the fact that you're involved. This is bad though. It was such a casual meeting. What if they want us to get married?
Jun: Don't worry about that. You don't know my mom.
Erin: I'm most worried about her. She's always been so nice to me.
Jun: That's not being nice.. she's training you.
Erin: Training me?
