Exterior - Min-ji's Home - Evening

Woo-jin's car pulls up in front of Min-ji's house. He steps out and walks around to open the door for her, ever the gentleman. Min-ji, still trying to process the day's bizarre turn of events, steps out of the car, giving him a tight-lipped smile.

As they walk toward her front door, Woo-jin suddenly stops, reaching into the car's back seat.

**Woo-jin**: (excitedly) "Oh, Min-ji! I almost forgot. I have something for you."

Min-ji raises an eyebrow, curious but also wary. He pulls out a neatly wrapped package, tied with a ribbon, and hands it to her with a sincere smile.

**Min-ji**: (accepting the gift) "Uh, thanks, Woo-jin. What's this?"

**Woo-jin**: (proudly) "It's something I think will really help us as we prepare for our marriage. It's a book I've found very enlightening."

Min-ji begins to unwrap the package, her curiosity growing. As the paper falls away, her expression quickly shifts to one of disbelief.

**Min-ji**: (reading the title aloud) "'Three to Get Married' by Fulton J. Sheen?"

She flips the book over, skimming the back cover. It's filled with words like "sacrament," "holiness," and "spiritual unity."

**Min-ji**: (sarcastically) "Wow... this looks... intense."

Woo-jin beams, clearly pleased with her reaction, though completely misinterpreting it.

**Woo-jin**: (earnestly) "I know it's a bit deep, but it's important for us to understand the true meaning of marriage as a sacred bond. Bishop Sheen explains it beautifully. You'll see how marriage isn't just between two people but also with God as the third partner."

Min-ji stares at him, trying to figure out if he's serious. She glances back at the book, flipping through the pages. It's filled with dense, theological discussions and scripture references.

**Min-ji**: (forcing a smile) "I can't wait to... dive into this."

**Woo-jin**: (nodding eagerly) "Take your time with it, but do read it carefully. I'm sure it will bring us closer together. If you have any questions, we can discuss them at our next meeting."

Min-ji nods, clutching the book to her chest like it's a bomb that might go off any minute. She's trying hard not to laugh or scream-she's not sure which reaction is more appropriate.

**Min-ji**: (wryly) "I'll make sure to study up."

Woo-jin looks absolutely thrilled, completely oblivious to her sarcasm.

**Woo-jin**: (sincerely) "Good! Remember, the foundation of a strong marriage is understanding and faith. I'm so glad we're on this journey together."

Min-ji swallows a groan. *"This is a nightmare,"* she thinks to herself. *"I can't believe he's giving me homework on how to be a perfect little wife."*

As they reach the door, Woo-jin gives her one last warm smile.

**Woo-jin**: "Have a good night, Min-ji. I'll pray for you as you read."

**Min-ji**: (deadpan) "Thanks... I'll need it."

He finally leaves, and Min-ji stands in the doorway, holding the book like it's a cursed object.

She mutters under her breath as she walks inside.

**Min-ji**: (sarcastically) "Oh, great. Homework from the Vatican. Just what I needed."

Her parents peek out from the living room, noticing the book she's holding.

**Mom**: (curious) "What's that, dear?"
