“What’s wrong?”

Insoo spoke while eating a piece of meat.

“You wanted this to happen. You should be happier about it.”

“I... I know! I am happy!”

Although he spoke those words, Woosung didn’t look happy. He had been taken aback by his own unexpected emotions, so he didn’t know what to do with himself.
