"I asked my dad to come over tomorrow evening . "
"Oh, you did?"
"Also, my aunt and President Jeong-Sook Shin will be here too . "
"I see . Is that why you did grocery shopping at this hour?"
"I need to buy more tomorrow . "
"What time are they coming tomorrow?"
"Six in the evening . "
"Do you want me to go to the seafood market in Noryangjin tomorrow? Do you think you can handle the cooking by yourself?"
"Oppa, can you do it for me?"
"Me? I don't know how to cook . "
Young-Eun grinned .
"I will have a helper tomorrow . She is working in the kitchen in the hospital where I work . She said she would help with the food preparation for me tomorrow . "
"That's a huge relief . "
"She is coming around 2 pm tomorrow . Why don't you go out and spend some time while she and I cook? Maybe you want to go to the movies or something . "
"Umm, sure . "
"Before you leave tomorrow, get me some fruits and liquor . "
"Okay . "
Young-Eun yawned while sitting on the sofa .
"You look exhausted . Let's eat out . "
"Sounds good . "
"Are you okay? You look really tired . "

"I worked a night shift yesterday, and I didn't take any break at work today . I was so busy . "
"Don't you take a day off the next day after you work a night shift?"
"I had some paperwork that I had to finish by today, so I couldn't take a day off . "
"I guess that medical doctors have a lot of administrative work on their own too, huh? Well, let's go out and eat something . "
Young-Eun changed into more comfortable clothes, and Gun-Ho wore sneakers before going out .
They walked around TowerPalace to select a nice restaurant . When Young-Eun saw a Vietnamese restaurant, she said, "Oppa, what about that one?"
"It says Annam . I guess they are selling Vietnamese noodle soups . "
"We don't need to go further to find another one . Let's just eat there . "
Gun-Ho recoiled when he saw a Vietnamese noodle soup restaurant . The thought of it brought him a bad memory about his first business years ago . With the seed money that he made in Asan City, Gun-Ho had opened a Vietnamese restaurant in Noryangjin . When he knew he was losing money by running the restaurant further, he put it on the market for sale only to find out it wouldn't sell quickly . He still remembered those old days when he worked all day long scooping the rice noodles from a boiling pot and slicing spring onions . The kitchen was almost 2 pyung large, and it was pretty small for him to work with other kitchen ladies .
"Let's find another one . "
"Why? You don't like pho? I like it . "
"Pho digests too quickly . You will feel hungry again soon even after you have a full bowl of pho . Let's eat something else . "
"We can order side dishes like spring rolls . Spring rolls are very popular dishes too . "
Young-Eun dragged Gun-Ho to the restaurant called Annam . They had spring rolls which were good .
It was Saturday .
Gun-Ho's backpack was slung over his shoulder . He decided to go mountain climbing while Young-Eun and the helper lady were cooking . He first went to a supermarket and bought some fruits, beer, Chinese liquor, and western liquor . After placing them on the table in the living room, he headed out to go mountain climbing .
"Let's try Cheonggye Mountain . It's close from here . "
Gun-Ho drove his Land Rover to Cheonggye Mountain . There were tons of people there since it was Saturday .
"Wow . It's so crowded here . Let's just climb up to Oknyeo Pike . "
Gun-Ho started walking up towards the pike . Since he didn't exercise regularly, he was already gasping for air .

"So many people are here . All I see while climbing the mountain is the back of their head . "
Gun-Ho finally arrived at Oknyeo Pike . He could see the race track for horses in Gwacheon City .
"Are you our Mr . Class Manager?"
Gun-Ho turned around . It was one of the students in his class at the Advanced Center of Administrative Development . He was the deputy minister, not a minister .
"Oh, Mr . Minister?"
Gun-Ho called him minister even though he was a deputy minister .
"You came here by yourself, Mr . Class Manager? You just married, huh? Why are you here alone? You should have come with your wife . "
"Hahaha . She is at home cooking . We invited her father for dinner . "
"Oh, I guess she kicked you out then since you would be no use for cooking, huh?"
"Hahaha . You can say that . "
"Where are you living?"
"I'm living in Dogok Town . "
"TowerPalace?"
"That's right . What about you, Mr . Minister? Where are you living?"
"I live in the Mido condo in Daechi Town . I've lived there for ten years now . "
"Oh, I see . "
"I actually came with my wife . I'd better go now then . Have fun . "
"You have a wonderful day . "
Gun-Ho looked in the direction that he went . There was an overweight middle-aged lady looking at Gun-Ho's direction . She was wearing sunglasses . She was probably that deputy minister's wife .
Gun-Ho came down from the mountain . He looked at his watch . He still had some time left before dinner . He went to the Education Community Center to take a sauna . When he came back home, the table was already fully set .
"The helper lady just left . "

"Really? Your father hasn't come yet?"
"He just called when he was passing by Seoul Arts Center . He will arrive soon . Why don't you take a shower before they arrive?"
"I took a sauna before coming home . "
"Then change your clothes . "
Young-Eun's father arrived . He was carrying a box of fruits .
"Please come in . Welcome to our home . "
"I don't think I can live here even though I got a chance to do so . I knew it was a high-rise building, but it's too high for me . I feel dizzy . "
"Please have a seat over here . "
"This is very spacious . How large is it?"
"It's 50 pyung large . "
"It is so big that it looks like a playground . Do you own it or rent it?"
"I bought it . "
"Oh, I see . "
"While they were conversing, Artist Choi and president Shin arrived together .
"Young-Eun!"
"Auntie!"
The two hugged each other . Young-Eun also gave a hug to President Shin .
"Wow, it's huge . It looks larger than our art gallery . So he bought it, huh?"
"What about me? Am I invisible?"
Young-Eun's father complained .
"Oh, my brother-in-law . When did you arrive?"
President Shin said hi to Young-Eun's father as well .
"Hi . "
"Oh, please have a seat . "
Young-Eun started moving the dishes that she prepared with the helper lady from the dining table to the floor table in the living room .
When Gun-Ho stood up to help Young-Eun, Artist Choi grabbed his arm .
"Please stay put, my nephew-in-law . This is women's work . "
Artist Choi and President Shin then stood up and helped Young-Eun with filling the table with dishes .
Three women and two men sat at the table by making a circle .
"Young-Eun, I don't believe these are your food . It tastes too good . "
"I got help from the kitchen lady from my hospital . "
"I love this stew . "
They all enjoyed each other's company while laughing and talking .
Artist Choi drank liquor like she drank water and said, "I now feel so relieved since my Young-Eun married a decent man . I think I can proudly tell your mother that she doesn't have to worry about you anymore . "
Artist Choi had high alcohol tolerance .
"My brother-in-law! You are satisfied, aren't you? You now have a very nice son . "
"Yeah, I am . "
"You are getting old, brother-in-law . "
"Not just me . You are getting old too . We are all getting old together . "
Young-Eun's father seemed to feel great . He kept sipping his liquor while having a smile on his face .
