Reading Time: 4 Minutes “Argh!” Yells the frustrated young man in front of his laptop screen, a painful wince crosses his facial features. “What’s wrong?” His wise yet still sexually attractive wife calls out, hurrying over. “It’s SOLD already #*@(%&#”, he shouts – slamming his fist down. “Oh… don’t worry, there’s always another one”, she responds… glad her husband is just over-reacting again. He’s just a boy at heart, still throwing those kiddie tantrums – she tells herself, before resuming the latest Korean drama series on Netflix.
