The Coughing

Jae-Hwa and Nivritti were staring at the beautiful girl. Nivritti wondered about what a model was doing in the middle of the street.

"Yes," said Jae-Hwa.

"I am sorry, but I am new at this place. Could you tell me where I can get a cab? No apps are ready to book one. I asked some people, they told me to go out of this street, but I keep wandering about," asked the girl in black. Her English was good, but her accent was slightly off. A few words she spoke had a heavy influence of Korean in them.

"Um… Do I know you?" asked Jae-Hwa, confused.

"I don't know. Maybe you saw my pics in a magazine. I am a part-time model," the girl smiled. She then lowered her voice and said, "please don't tell anyone. I don't want to get mobbed."

"Of course, of course. Take this street, turn at first left, keep going straight and you will see a taxi stand," replied Jae-Hwa.
