Jae-un

Lucy started pre-school last week.

She has been talking all week about her new best friend Jae-un Choi. I find it a funny coincidence that her best friend happens to have the same name as her cousin, also Jae-un.

Lucy is talking to Eunjoo. I am thinking about a problem, so not so much paying attention, but I am listening. Lucy says something and Eunjoo asks her if Jae-un told her that?

L: Who is Jae-un?
E: Your friend, Jae-un Choi. You sit with her on the bus.
L: Oh her. Her name isn't Jae-un.
E: But you always call her that.
L: I just call her that because I forgot her name.

"Her name isn't really Jae-un?" I ask, making sure that I understood correctly.

"No." Eunjoo verifies, "It's Something-or-other Choi."

"It's not really Choi, either." Lucy says.
