Nanon is now in his final year of college and has a girlfriend named Rose. He decides to bring her home for the holidays to meet his parents. When they arrive, the maid opens the door, and Rose introduces herself. The maid nods and leads her to the living room to wait.
In the bedroom, Tay is working on his laptop while New is lounging on the bed. Nanon enters the room, saying, "Papa, Daddy, did you forget what I told you yesterday?"
New responds, "I didn't forget. I told your daddy to go to the living room, but he's still working on his laptop."
Nanon walks over to Tay and closes the laptop. "Daddy, did you forget?"
Tay looks up, "I'm not forgetting, son. I just have some important work left."
Nanon sighs, "Why are you always working on holidays? Let's go, she's waiting."
Tay finally gives in, "Okay, okay, I'm coming. Our son is impatient." He looks at New, "Darling, let's go meet your daughter-in-law."
New groans but gets off the bed, walking with Tay to the living room. As they enter, Rose stands up and greets them nervously, "Good afternoon, Uncle."
New smiles warmly, "Good afternoon. But you don't have to call us 'Uncle.' You can call us 'Papa' and 'Dad,' like Nanon does."
Rose blushes and nods, feeling shy. New says, "Let's go have lunch and talk there."
Nanon asks, "Papa, where's Grandma?"
New replies, "She's getting older, but her weekend trips to the temple never stop. Even now, your daddy mom also goes with her."
Tay adds, "It's okay for them to go out sometimes. They always stay at home."
New sighs, "I just get scared if something happens to them when we're not around."
Tay reassures him, "You worry too much. The bodyguards stay with them. If anything happens, they'll let us know."
During lunch, Tay asks, "So, you two are really dating seriously or just passing the time?"
New exclaims, "Ha, Tay, what are you saying in front of them?"
Tay continues, "What? I want to know so I can plan their wedding when they graduate and hand over the company to him."
Nanon protests, "Daddy, I told you I don't want to work in your company."
Tay responds, "Yes, you told me, but when I get old, who will look after the company?"
Nanon insists, "You are still young enough to look after the company. I want to research spaceships."
New says, "You can do whatever you want. No one will stop you, son."
Tay, however, wasn't ready to let the topic drop. "But you didn't say if you two are really serious."
New, noticing Rose's discomfort, gently chided Tay, "Stop that, Tay. Can't you see she's getting embarrassed? You really are something. You don't know how to talk."
Tay, realizing he might have gone too far, backtracked, "What? I didn't say anything."
New, shaking his head with a small smile, said, "Just eat."
The lunch continued with conversations about college, future plans, and shared memories. After the meal, New suggested, "Son, take her to your room to let her see how crazy you and your dad are."
Nanon, slightly embarrassed, protested, "Papa..."
New, with a knowing look, simply said, "Go."
Nanon took Rose's hand and led her to his room. As they entered, Rose looked around, wide-eyed. "Nanon, is this a room or a playground you have?"
