"We didn't do anything. We just kissed, that's all." 
                          
'Aish, why did he have to say that?! This is so embarrassing!' Sol said in her mind and she coughed.
                          
"Then why is her lipstick on your necktie? What did you do to my sister?" Jae Hoon asked.
                          
"I just wiped her smeared lipstick, don't worry, we didn't do---"
                          
Sol cleared her throat. They really didn't do anything other than kissing but she still felt embarrassed. 
                          
"Are you sure it's just that?" They asked Sol, to which she just nodded. She drank from her glass of water. She was blushing, she was so embarrassed.
                          
"If you say so." Her eomma trusted her. 
                          
"Eomma, don't tell me you believe them." Jae Hoon commented.
                          
"I trust Sol." She replied.
                          
"I trust her too but I don't trust Jong Hoon hyung. Didn't you know he was 16 when he first did 'it'?"
                          
"Ya! Why bring that up now?!" Jong Hoon yelled at him and looked at Sol who looked mad at him.
                          
"Why didn't I know about that, Jong Hoon-ah?!" His eomeoni scolded him.
                          
"But that was ages ago." He replied.
                          
Sol couldn't say anything. She was just glaring at him. 'He did 'it' at 16?!' She thought. 'He told me he has never had a girlfriend before. He said I'm his first kiss.'
                          
"Appa, what did Uncle Jae Hoon mean by 'it'?" Jong Hyun asked.
                          
Sol again drank from her glass of water. Byeol, on the other hand, was also speechless. She's 12 so she kind of understood what they were talking about.
                          
"Ah, that?" Jong Hoon said nervously. "It's nothing. Jong Hyun-ah, why don't you play with Byeol first?"
                          
"But I want to know what you and Samcheon were talking about. Why did you yell at him when he brought 'it' up?" The 9 year old boy curiously asked.
                          
"It's when a---" He was about to say what it really was.
                          
"I'll buy you ice cream tomorrow if you play now." Sol promised the boy.
                          
Jong Hyun smiled and left the dining room with Byeol. 
                          

                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
                          
"My son doesn't listen to me. But he listens to Sol." Jong Hoon smiled.
                          
"Aigoo, you're too honest." Sol's eomma told him. "You don't have to tell your son everything."
                          
"As someone who is working in the field of law, I never lie."
