In this chapter, we learn that Juwon has been accepted into a university in the city of Seoul, and that he will soon be returning to his hometown. Juwon and his friend, Poona, have been living with Poona's grandmother for the past few months, and Poona has not seen Juwon for a long time. Poona is upset that he has missed Juwon, and he tries to cheer him up by telling him that he is in love with another woman. He also tells Juwon that they are getting a call from a group of guests who are planning to stay for a few days at the house. He asks Poona and Juwon to help him prepare the house for the guests, but Poona refuses to do so, saying that she will just help him by herself. He then asks Juwon if he can bring some liquors with him, but Juwon says that he does not need a part-time fee.
