You don't really know who to trust. When you wake up you want to be able to operate by knowing what is going on around you, but not disclose what you know to anyone you're not absolutely sure you can trust. (Or don't yet know who you can trust.)Assuming she finds Jin, and I suspect she thinks she will indeed find Jin, what better way to operate than to be able to converse with Jin in Korean (telling him to say something other than what they are really discussing) to express among themselves exactly what is meant, while telling others whatever you want them to hear. (Sun has already done this with Keamy in the side-ways world.)This occurred to me as a trick worth using when I first learned that some characters were speaking Latin. However enough people on the island are scientists or doctors that Latin posed a security risk if overheard by the right people. On the island Korean is practically a "closed-circuit language." (Only one other character that I remember spoke Korean.)It occurred to me long ago that Sun and Jin had an enormous tactical communications advantage anytime they choose to exercise it. I cannot help but wonder now if Sun has finally figured this out as well, and is deliberately playing to effect. She has a good excuse, or at least a seemingly good excuse. It's what I would have done. Subterfuge is always best expressed in an unknown language.</blockquote>
