Yes Sir

Yes Sir

Now your perception of what is rude in this comic might be different depending what culture you are from. You may think that him calling me a pig and making pig noises is the rude thing, or you may think me whacking him with a towel is the rudest (I changed it from hitting his head so it wouldn’t be too rude). One of the reasons why trying to understand cultural differences is important.

Mr Gwon does get into really rude and cheeky moods sometimes. He will say “Yes Sir” sometimes when I get bossy because he knows it annoys me. Then he further annoyed me by saying my pet name is pig, even though I know it’s cute in Korean, I know he is doing it to get a reaction because he added the pig noises. It’s very different from when he lovingly calls me his honey pig other times. He also knew that I was likely to whack him with something too. So I got my revenge when he cried “ouchies” like a little kid. Then we had a good laugh.

For a second

 

You know that scene in the drama Iris where TOP snaps the girl’s neck? Okay actually I never properly watched Iris. I just watched the parts that TOP was in….

Speaking of Korean dramas, if you’ve watched enough of them you might have noticed that Korean guys sometimes interact differently with girls than what you may be used to in your own country. Or maybe it’s similar, I don’t know. Not all guys act like that, but yes, sometimes things are like in a Korean drama. For me though, the things like the arm grabs (which I’ve mentioned before) and the sudden and dramatic grabbing and hugging can take some getting used to. I still flinch when I’m grabbed or hugged tightly because it still takes me a second to remember that it’s a passionate sign of affection and not something bad.
