In this chapter, the young narrator reflects on his decision to go back to work. He wonders if he should start looking for a job again, since he hasn't found one yet. His relatives have been asking him when he will get married after he gets a job, and he says he has no intention of getting married until he finds the "right man" . He says he's never married even if he were the last woman in the world, and that he'll never want to marry anyone even if they're the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth. He's disgusted with anyone who says he wants to marry her. He thinks that among the four of them, Jiah and Yonhee will marry first, followed by taesung and Haebom.
