Oh, and also I'd like to trade any of about 8 crash survivors for Jin's dad. Couldn't he sail up on his fishing boat and join them next season?
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He didn't find this out. He doesn't understand English.
She didn't want him to know she spoke English, to protect her secret. He now knows she speaks English, and considers it a mighty betrayal.
You don't think he's guessed?

Well, he certainly found out she's been keeping her own secrets of one sort or another. And acquiring another language is a pretty big one. Particularly since keeping it a secret now that they're only the island means she pretty specifically didn't want him to know.
Which she didn't, because she'd had a change of heart, but she can't exactly explain her motivations without giving the whole game away.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Jin's dad -- Locke competency smackdown. Locke rambles through the woods and brings back a boar (finally!), only to see that Jin's dad has caught enough fish to feed everyone, and dried extras that'll last a week.

I know Jin feels betrayed by Sun's, in fairness Great Honking Big, lie, but covering up criminal activities isnt an itty bitty one either. I thought that his visit to his father had made him realise that he wanted to put his marriage first, which he knew he hadn't been doing. I'd have thought he could forgive Sun, considering the circumstances.
Save me a seat on the Jin's Dad love train. I hope we don't get a second flashback where it turns out he was molesting the fish on the side or something.

I think he's primarily covering up her father's criminal activities, which is a dicier situation.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jin should never have gone to work for her father in the first place, and then he really shouldn't have lied to her about what it entailed, but I think he felt he was doing everything for her. Finding out she had a secret life was too much to bear for him. He should not have walked away from her, but he has history of making bad choices.

This is it. He could beat the ever-loving crap out of innocent people for her, but he couldn't forgive a lie? I know I'm supposed to feel sympathetic toward Jin, but I think maybe Sun is better off without him. She should totally go to Hurley for comfort. I'm just saying.
