The scene opens with a flashback to the beginning of the previous chapter, where the teacher is talking to his assistant about Minjae, who is recovering from a stroke. The teacher tells the assistant that he hopes he can send him back to school, but that he should not worry too much if it is the other way around. The scene then switches to the lunch break, and the teacher and his assistant discuss the menu for the day's lunch. The lunch menu includes a spicy pork bbq, pollock-roe, carp-shaped buns, and mini-kimbap. The assistant asks the teacher to go with the fish cakes, but the teacher refuses.
