Morning in Minji's room. Minji is lounging on her bed with a face mask on, and Jisoo is sitting cross-legged on the floor, munching on snacks from a bag she brought over. The air smells faintly of sheet masks and crackers, and a soft morning light filters through the curtains.

**Jisoo**: (laughing between bites) *"I still can't believe Woojin actually brought an ambulance for your fake leg pain. I mean, you were trying to make him run away, right?"*

**Minji**: (rolling her eyes, groaning) *"Yes! That was the whole point. But now, I'm stuck. Woojin is painfully nice! He cares way too much! He even told the doctor I was the mother of his future children, and she ended up thinking I was pregnant!"*

Jisoo chokes on her snack, spitting crumbs everywhere as she laughs uncontrollably.

**Jisoo**: (gasping for breath) *"Wait, wait, what?! Woojin's already got family planning down? Oh my God, I guess we can expect a mini Minji after this wedding, huh?"*

**Minji**: (snorting, shaking her head) *"Ha! If there's a mini Minji, she'll get disowned by her grandpa along with her mom. I'm pretty sure they're only hoping for a *mini Woojin*, perfect and angelic."*

**Jisoo**: (grinning) *"Well, if the father-in-law's the problem, you could always convince Woojin to move out with you after the wedding. He won't say no to you, Minji."*

**Minji**: (raising an eyebrow) *"Not so sure about that. He's pretty close to his family. That strict, super-religious family."*

**Jisoo**: (teasing) *"But he's *devoted* to his future wife too. I mean, ambulance for a leg cramp? That's a level of commitment right there."*

Suddenly, Minji's phone buzzes on the bedside table. Jisoo reaches for it while Minji adjusts her face mask.

**Jisoo**: *"I'll check. Oh! It's from Woojin! Let's see what your future husband's up to this morning."*

*She squints at the screen, then bursts into laughter.

**Jisoo**: (laughing) *"It's... a Bible quote. But, uh, it's so complicated that even I can't understand it!"*

**Minji**: (lifting an eyebrow, curious) *"What's it say?"*

**Jisoo**: (reading dramatically) *"'And verily, thou shalt not waver in the presence of transgressors, for the righteous walketh with grace, and those who stray shall be cast unto...' What is this? A prophecy?!"*

**Minji**: (snickering) *"Oh great, I'm marrying into a family that's gonna send me cryptic religious texts for the rest of my life."*

**Jisoo**: *"You better start brushing up on these verses, Minji. You might have to respond with your own divine wisdom soon!"*

**Minji**: (rolling her eyes, sighing) *"I'll need a Bible-to-modern-English translator before I even *attempt* that."*

Jisoo holds up her hands in mock surrender.

**Jisoo**: (grinning) *"I give up! Let's just hope Woojin's family doesn't expect your future kids to memorize this stuff too. Otherwise, mini Woojin is gonna have to give mini Minji some *serious* lessons."*

**Minji**: (laughing) *"Mini Minji's gonna be like, 'No thanks, Grandpa. I'm just here for snacks.'"*

Both burst into laughter, the room filled with lighthearted giggles as Minji peels off her face mask.

**Minji**: (smiling bashfully) oh, I forgot to tell something important. Guess what? We finally had our first kiss yesterday!"*

**Jisoo**: (eyes wide, sitting up) *"No way! About time. How did it happen?"*
