My question for you is this: Does weird shit happen at home, but I just don't realize it's weird?
Jae Cheol got a phone call today from an old friend he hadn't seen in ages. This friend needed his help, or more specifically, his wife's help. That would be me.
Apparently, the friend is getting married in July. The thing is, his fiance has an ex-boyfriend who just doesn't get it. This guy has, can you believe it, called her! Why did they need my help, you ask. Well, apparently this guy is Chinese, studying in New Zealand, which is where the girl met him. I had to call this guy to explain in English why he could no longer call the girl. I was required to explain that this message had been passed down from the girl's father. The crazy thing is that it had! Yes, that's right, the father had taken Jae Cheol's friend aside to ask him to speak to the ex-boyfriend because he wanted to "protect his family."
So I called the guy and I felt like a rat the entire time I was talking to him. Jae Cheol tried all night to talk some sense into his "friend", especially after he told us that now he doesn't trust his girlfriend and is getting back at her by having a little something on the side!
This is all too much for me. I'm going to go spend some time reading Us Magazine. Celebrity entertainment is going to be a relaxing walk in the park compared to this lunacy.

Okay. Yeah, those two should definitely NOT be getting married.
Having a little something on the side before you're even married?!? Telling your father that your ex-boyfriend has been calling you? If they ever marry, these two should probably wait another 10 years or so for a little something called maturity!
Sorry--I just couldn't help being pulled into the drama of it all. Speaking of which this scenario seems perfect for TV!
Maybe you could hire yourself out to make threats in English for people in equally awkward situations. A sort of Melanie mafia, you know?
Oh, I like that idea. People won't know exactly what I say, but it'll be all the more menacing for that.
What I really didn't get was why, for goodness sake, it was all so important to make it clear to the young man. I mean, honestly, the boy is CHINESE, living in NEW ZEALAND. It's not like he lives down the street and they meet afternoons when she says she's grocery shopping. They'll probably never meet again!
"Melanie Mafia"
Oh, now I have the giggles.
oh god.
that's just wrong!
sheesh.
