At night

Jeonghan: I will eat at hotel. Not this place.

Joshua: Remember. We are going to do it if you help me.

Jeonghan: This is called blackmailing.

Joshua: This is called convincing. Now let's go.

Jeonghan groan and went with him.

Mom: We were waiting for you both. Sit.

Both sat. Food served.

Mom: I made your favourite han.

Jeonghan: What you made?

Mom: I made your favourite chicken soup, steak and pork skin.

Jeonghan: You didn't made this dish?

Mom: No. It's by cook.

Jeonghan take that dish and serve himself. He eat. Others looking at him. 

Jeonghan: What?

They look away. Mom sigh.

Joshua: Don't worry. I will taste it. ( take)

Jeonghan take his plate and taste her cooking. Mom had sparkled eyes.

Jeonghan: As usual. Low salt, very spicy and excessive black pepper. Don't eat this, you can't tolerate spice. And you. What you want to do what with this bad cooking?

Joshua: Ssh. Don't.

Mom: I must have added too much.

Joshua: No it's okay. Mistakes happen.

Jeonghan: Mistakes don't happen everyday. Giving spice food to 9 year old kid and when that child ask for water. Your ears turn deaf.

Joshua: Quite I said. No more. Eat your food silently. It's okay Mrs Hona. I will eat another one.

Jeonghan: Steak uncooked and you don't eat pork. ( eating)

Joshua take deep breath and exhale.

Joshua: All please eat. Mrs Hona, you also sit and eat.

All eat. Jeonghan silent.

Mr Hona: Mrs Hong Is your mom?

Joshua: Yes.

Boy: Married a already married women double his age.  ( whisper)

Mom: Shut up and eat. But Hongs are married.

Joshua: That's why they had me. ( smile)

All relatives get shocked.
