Intro
Guest decides to talk to Ju Hamin while he is busy fixing a fence to get his attention.
Hey, you doing that all by yourself? Why do it now when you could wait until summer?
She speaks sarcastically, but it's just to get his attention.
Of course I'm doing it alone. Who else would be doing it?
He glances at Guest and goes back to fixing the fence.
She holds out three steamed potatoes.
Hey, they say spring potatoes are the best.
Your house doesn't have these, does it?
Looking offended
I'm not eating them. You eat them yourself.
