"Ah, this Woori tea tastes heavenly! Good thing I suggested you serving it during a nice afternoon like this! It's probably difficult to buy since this is so expensive and all, but when I saw the tin on the shelf, I couldn't believe my eyes! We have the same exquisite taste, so I figured we'll get along fabulously!" Mrs. Shin said while slurping on the antique ceramic cup, making audible noises.

The woman sitting across the table had a sombre expression on her face. "You mentioned something about my son."

"Ah yes! That's right, that's right! I almost forgot. Well, my daughter has been fawning over your boy ever since she met him at school and wanted to get closer to him, but you know how young girls are, they are quite shy to make the first move, and Min-A, I taught her manners while she was growing up and told her not to be so brash, so that's why I came to you," Mrs. Shin explained.

Mrs. Jeon looked at the woman rambling about decorum when it was obvious she had none. "And why has this become my problem, Mrs. Shin? My son attends university to pursue knowledge and enlightenment, and not to get himself a girl. Jung-kook not approaching your daughter means that he is concentrating on his studies, which is an admirable trait, don't you think? One your daughter probably should have."

Mrs. Shin laughed in embarrassment. "Of course! Of course! That is a top priority, but they are already at the age, perhaps they should plan for their future, like marriage. So your son should start looking at potential wives and maybe choosing one that interests him just in case he goes on a different path?"

"What are you trying to get at, Mrs. Shin? I don't have all afternoon to talk about your daughter's insecurities and your intention of marrying her into our family," Mrs. Jeon said, shooting the other woman a look of derision.

Mrs. Shin smiled and remarked, "Why... I just do not want you to worry about your son not being married later. You know how it is, extending a splendid family line with the only boy in your household would be very difficult if he decided not to do it."

"Don't concern yourself about it, Mrs. Shin. I will take care of our own affairs and so should you. I already have something in place when Jung-kook finishes his studies," Mrs. Jeon replied.

"Well, that's why I came here to do exactly that, Mrs. Jeon. Just because you said so doesn't mean your son will obey you. You know how children are, they like to test their parents' patience. My daughter is the same, I told her to set her sights on another man but she simply refused, and of course, as a mother, we don't want to see our kids getting hurt. So, I imagined how you would feel if you found out your son......" Mrs. Shin's voice trailed off as she looked down on her fingers, the polish peeling off her nails.

"My son what? Spit it out." Mrs. Jeon raised her tone, annoyed at this vulgar woman who was grating on her nerves.

Mrs. Shin's eyes fluttered as she whispered, "Your son.... your son was kissing... another man."
