Hyeon's husband objects privately, claiming the surprise guest would be an inconvenience for his parents and the couple argue loudly enough for Miso to hear.
Among other things, Hyeon confesses to Miso her diffidence in cooking for her in-laws, who had run a restaurant for thirty years and her anger at having to do all of housework.
In the meantime, her boyfriend reveals that he is fed up of his spartan life and that giving up his dreams of becoming a cartoonist, he has volunteered for an assignment in Saudi Arabia which would enable him to pay off his school debts in a couple of years.
Miso visits a number of apartments, each progressively worse, in search of a cheap place to stay but none appear within her means.
