I don’t care if her intentions are out of the goodness of her heart, if she’s confused, conflicted, projecting, or whatever the reason. She’s being incredibly disrespectful and rude! And she’s not a child, she’s in college! She’s from the country where people mature much faster and have way more heavier burdens and responsibilities compared to city children. So she knows exactly right from wrong! Also keep in mind that this is in East Asia where meddling in others peoples business is not OK and that respecting your elders and addressing them with titles is a must. It doesn’t matter that she’s known Mr. Kwon all her life and if he’s given her permission to be informal. The younger ones still address the elders with some title, even if they’re close. She does not have the right to take matters into her own hands and go behind his back. Especially when it comes to Mr. Kwon, that’s not only older than her but also the head of the entire village! In this chapter she just said Ho. “Thank you Ho”, “What’s going on between you and Ho?”. She’s being very disrespectful towards Ho and it doesn’t natter that he’s new in the village and lived abroad for so long. And it doesn’t matter that she’s having a rough time rn because of her granny. Your life can be absolute hell and you can still be polite and respectful, especially towards those that are helping you and care about/for you. I know that Mr. Kwon and Ho will be understanding and kind with her and show grace. But I still hope that they draw the line and it make it absolutely clear for her, in their own way, that it’s not any of her effing business, respectfully.
