Lee Eung decided to talk to her eldest daughter Lee Shin. There's a clear worry on her face and don't know if she will talk to her daughter or not. Ever since Lee Shin became the head of the family, she became stricter, not going out on party, spending her days either at the office, working out or reading about business news. She is afraid that her daughter is going to miss a lot in her young life.
"Lee Shin, can we talk?"
"Sure mom what is it?"
"Well, I am happy though your dad is not with us anymore. I am proud of what you did for our family. But you're 28 now and I never seen you going out or having a date. It will be hard for you to find a man if you'll wait for more years. Remember, women, its harder to find a partner once our age is out of the numbers in the calendar."
Lee Shin almost rolled her eyes. She remembered her mom is old fashioned and doesn't go by the thinking of the modern era. "Mom, yeah I am 28 but I don't feel like settling down yet. I...I don't know I feel like I am missing something and I still want to do things before finding a man. I don't have any regrets that I spend my younger years helping our family but now, I can't think of settling down because I am not yet ready for it."
"Then what do you want to do? We are ok now and we are still not that rich but at least we are not worried about what's for dinner or breakfast for the next days."
Lee Shin suddenly stopped cleaning the dishes and look in to her mom. There are some things going on on her mind but she doesn't know whether to tell her mom or not. It's something that her mom will never agree knowing how old fashion the way she thinks...but well I am not that young anymore and I guess I saved a lot already and I think it's time for me to do something for myself now, before I reached 30 - she thought.
"Well, since you started talking about it then, I want to go backpacking." A playful smile is plastered on her cute face.
