Arum's mother suddenly held Hojoon's hands and said, "You are a geomancy consultant, right?"
"Huh? How did you know that?"
"I think last year I went to a TV studio as one of the audience for its program featuring his geomancy. At that time, I thought the world of him. I wish he were my son-in-law." Arum's eyes opened wide with surprise. "I sized him up when I saw him from the veranda. I don't know how close you are, but I hope you can get along well without quarreling. Okay?"
"Just go now, mom."
"Thanks, daughter."

Arum whispered into her mother's ear, "Wow, your daughter has never gotten married. How many times are you getting married? You told me you would never get married again, right?"
