"Unnie, I'm telling you. I'm okay being single. Yes, I know my studies of becoming a professor is important which I am improving. No, I'm not interested going on a blind date. It's weird and I'm going to meet a great guy like Oppa Il-Hwan. Yes, I use my brother in law as a excuse. Okay, see ya at dinner and tell Jin-Woo his favorite aunt is coming" A young woman soon said as hanging her phone and walking away from the building in the university

That was Park Kyung-Mi back when was normal 23 year old university student and preparing to take her degree to become professor of Seoul International University.
