"So you really had no doubt hyung Dae Won would like it?" As soon as the waitress served their orders at the coffee shop on a famous Seoul street, and left, Dr. Kim casually asked.
"Is this what people don't like about me? Should I have doubts on myself? Or should I feign modesty?"
"No. It's good the way it is. One who is silent is never heard."
Ye Rim grinned: " Exactly! And, wow, you spoke just like my unnie's mother! She kept saying that to my unnie: 'don't be shy, don't be ashamed of what you can do! An intelligent woman has to fight for her space. But for that, you can't ever hesitate. Take your talent and go ahead, no matter what people say! Do not hide what you are. Anyone who stays silent is never heard!' "
"This ajuhma seems to know better," he conceded, sipping his coffee. "I think she and my mother would be good friends. And I see that you followed her advice well. Your friend too, I suppose."
