Ara winced, index fingers rising to her temples, “She was messaging me at three in the morning… I guess she forgot,” the detective made quotation marks with her fingers in the air, emphasizing that it was obvious that her niece had not forgotten the time difference, “that I was supposed to be sleeping.”
The woman paused, looking up at the other in what could have been shame, but quickly turned into amusement. “I told her to kick the boy in the crotch because I was annoyed…” A laugh slipped past her lips. “She got detention.”
“Oh, is that so?” he snorted, albeit he wasn’t that all surprised. Judging by the other’s actions he could tell that she was just as annoyed as he was. “And here I thought I was special--” Woobin was also on the receiving end of Jenny’s late night / early morning text messages. Clearly the brat paid no attention to the time zone differences when she felt the need to consulting them on boy problems. He made a mental note to keep his cell phone on silent if he ever slept like a normal human-being, just in case she decided to do this again.
Woobin couldn’t suppress his amusement after hearing what Ara had suggested to her out of annoyance. A highly entertained laughter escaped his lips while the rest of him cringed from the idea of being kicked in the balls. He could empathize with the poor kid who had the unfortunate displeasure of being romantically interested in the brat. Yet, at the same time, the advice Jenny received from her aunt was just... priceless, for lack of better words.
As soon as his laughter died out, he turned to her with a serious expression. “She actually took your advice?” he rhetorically asked. “It's no wonder why she's so... well, you.”
