We went to a jewelry shop to look at a ₩1.7 million bracelet. My own money, and I make good money.금은방에 170만원짜리 팔찌보러감 (내돈내산이고 나 돈 잘범)

Shopkeeper: “Is your boyfriend buying it for you?”사장님 : 남자친구가 사주는거야?

Boyfriend, joking: “Only if she’s been good.”남친 : 이쁜짓을 해야 사주죠 (농담투)

He wasn’t planning to buy it for me in the first place.애초에 사줄생각 없었음.

I was fucking pissed, but kept a straight face. We argued after we left.순간 개빡쳤는데 표정관리하고 나와서 싸움
