The Way of Love for the Doctor
SEASON 2'S. Part 28's. The Korean Social Dinner 1
Our relationship went well afterwards. At least we try to understand each other, try to get used to each other. It was nice, although for a while we hid our relationship, but after office hours he became his other self, a caring, joking family man, he was free to show me the other side.
And now he took me to a Korean restaurant and met his friends who are also expatriates here. I'm glad he involved me with his environment. If someone has involved you in his outside environment other than work, with his friends, it's a sign that he already trusts you as his partner. And this is the first time I've been involved with a dinner like this. I’m over thrilled now....
Although this is not the first time I socialize with Korean people, but with Oppa I have to be good at maintaining the attitude let alone I understand Korean. I spent time dressing up in the office toilet, trying to be second only to Yoona. Replicating her flawless makeup which of course does not need a lot of effort. Those Koreans are the ones who always show their best side, so appearances are very important to them. I wear a casual dress whose color is not too flashy but chic.
But the result paid off when Oppa once again looked at me as if he did not know me, when I arrived at the seat next to him, ...
“Oppa don't overdo it, I know I'm beautiful.” I glanced at him while blinking his eyes.
“You want a kiss ⁇ (jagi/honey)?” And he grabbed my waist in a fit of rage and started trying to kiss my cheek.
“No, my makeup will be damaged, it will take a long time to finish this ombre lips. You can't kiss me now.” And I held her chin away from my face.
“Why are you so stingy. I just kissed your cheek.” I laughed when I saw his face.
“Oppa, my foundation will melt. Come on way, we'll be late.” He laughed for reasons I didn't know.
“No, kiss first.” He still insisted, and clipped me to such an extent.
“Maybe, this involves drinking. You rarely drink, don't let you come home drunk. It's okay to refuse drinks okay.”
“Iya.”
“Do you understand the rules, usually you will be asked age, they want to know your age, so they can decide what to call you, this is the average age is above your age, remember to call them eonni and oppa. And Ahjussi if you are older than 20 years, there is one person you need to call ahjussi, he is almost 50, but his wife seems much younger just call eonni Oppa explained
“Good, I understand Oppa..” There asked the age when just met is a natural thing. By knowing the age of a person we know how to place the hierarchy of association on the dining table.
“Remember pour drinks into them okay.., because you're the youngest.That's ethics in the banquet.” An example of hierarchy is pouring a drink.
In Korean banquet etiquette, it is very rare for someone to pour a drink directly for himself. It would be considered unethical. Because the table manner is pouring drink is a task that the young first to his senior as a form of respect to the older, and then can only turn the old pour for the young. And vice versa if it has been done, everyone is obliged to keep the drinking glass of people who are next to him is always full. If you don't do that, then you will cause the person next to you to lose face by having to pour his own drink.
