Myunghee let her voluntary coughs take over as the air thickened. Haneul's hands had interlocked themselves as she was sitting beside Myunghee Ahjumma.
"Haneul, okay." Myunghee Ahjumma nodded while calling her out, "All that is good but… Is it okay if you stay with him?"
"What do you mean?" Haneul asked, munching on the red bean paste buns Myunghee Ahjumma had baked for her.
"Isn't he scary?" Myunghee Ahjumma asked out of concern. "Like, I don't want you living with him if he is dangerous."
Haneul chuckled. "Ahjumma!" She exclaimed while chuckling. "Does he look like a criminal?"
Myunghee narrowed her eyes while giving it a thought. "No, I don't think so."
"Why do you think so?"
"He just looks like a nice person."
"Well he's just that." Haneul smiled. "He's a good person."
"And a mafia."
