Heard in a conversation
The morning after the blind date
Hana 그래서 썸 타는 거야? 연락은 왔어?
So you two have a “something” going? Did he text?
Jiwoo 아직... 밀당하는 건가? 나 지금 멘붕이야.
Not yet... is he playing hard to get? I'm having a meltdown.
Hana 기다려 봐. 먼저 연락하면 지는 거래, 국룰이야.
Wait. They say whoever texts first loses: it's the unwritten rule.
