San was nothing if not hesitant. Su-ae had no hesitation whatsoever. When she wanted to laugh, she laughed. She was bold to the point of aggressive. Was it her firmness of manner, or her clear and calm voice? And yet there was nothing vulgar about her boldness; it was even beautiful. Anyone with a bit of insight might have guessed that Su-ae’s personality came from some kind of lack. Just as San’s endlessly hesitant personality was a different kind of lack. And that excessive hesitation and excessive boldness were really part of the same story.
