I’m sure someone named Cha Jihwon said it while acting all cool. That he’d be my husband.3a93d868116a46fc

Jihwon promised to visit Chiyoon’s house after he finished his busy work. It wasn’t exactly a formal meeting of the families, but it was meant to inform Chiyoon’s mother, father, grandmother, and grandfather about their marriage.45bea238e8b27c4d
