Min Ho gets in the taxi with a wide grin on his face. He notices the lady blushed face because of his compliment.
“Pretty lady she is.” The taxi driver speaks up, with a smile. He looks at Min Ho through the mirror.
“Huh?” Min Ho startles as he looks up. His smile grew wider. “Well, I can’t say no. You saw her too.”
“Your friend? You seem close to her.” He asks and start moving the taxi, heading to the exact destination.
“Oh, no.” Min Ho waves his hand. “We just met in the salon.”
The taxi driver furrows in surprise. “She had her haircut too?” He glances in the mirror again.
“Yes.” Min Ho nods.
“Both of you have your hair cut at the same salon?” The taxi driver confirming.
“Yup.” Min Ho nods again.
“And she had a taxi waiting for her, as well.” He adds up the information.
“Yup!” Min Ho nod with smiles. Accepting the complete facts.
“Wow! That’s just a wow!” The taxi driver repeats with full of excited.
“Wow? What do you mean?” Min Ho confuses.
“Didn’t you found it as interesting? It’s a coincidence. A perfect coincidence!” The taxi driver come out with his conclusion. “I never witnessed this kind of coincidence before.” He laughs cheekily. “You as well. I don’t think you always or every day, coincidentally meet a pretty lady during your rides by taxi? Or during your haircut at the salon?” He asks cheekily in between his laugh. “Haven’t you?”
Min Ho brows furrow immediately as he heard him. “Coincidence.” He repeats.
The taxi driver shrugs his shoulder with a teasing smirk as he watching Min Ho from the mirror, before continue driving in silent. Giving personal space for him.
‘Coincidence?’’ He repeats in minds as he thinks again about the familiar feeling that he feels towards the lady. Undescribed feeling during their eyes meet for the first time. ‘Is it really a coincidence?’’ His minds instantly picturing image of the lady and without notices, his lip curls into a smile.

“Do you know that guy?” Jeung Keun questioning, the moment his daughter slips inside the taxi. His eye still glued to the window, watching the guy at the taxi next to them.
“Huh? Who?” Shin Hye ask.
“That guy who talking to you just now.” He points to the direction as their taxi start moving, pass by the guy’s taxi.
She shakes her head lightly. Not looking at the direction, or to her father.
“You don’t know him?” He asks to confirm.
“No. We just met in the salon.” She put her purse inside the bag.
“He had his hair cut too?”
“No. He buys an ice cream there.” Shin Hye put on her sarcastic answer. “Yes, appa. He had his hair cut also.”
“Is it nowadays trend? Stop at the salon while rides on a taxi?”
She turns to her father as she heard almost similar same question. The question which the stylist ask her earlier.
“Is it so weird to you?” She asks.
Jeung Keun looks at her. “No.” Shaking his head. “It’s weird and funny.” He grins cheekily. “Didn’t its weird when you and that guy have such a similar situation, at the same day and at the same time. Both of you rides on a taxi, stop for a haircut and continue with the rides to the exact destination.” He complete it like telling a story. “Don’t you think it’s funny?” He asks in between his laugh. “A weird and funny coincidence.” He continue laughing.
Shin Hye freezes on her spot. Her eye glued on her father who slowly stopping himself from the laugh as he looking out through the window, ignoring her. ‘Coincidence?’ Her minds repeating the word while at the same time digesting the fact that her father mention earlier. ‘Funny? Is it funny?’ She feels her heart beat fasten again as she recalls the guy and the incidence happened inside the salon.
‘What happen to me? Why do I feel like this? Who is he?’
