Sixth Month

After avoiding two picnic invitations from her friends, Mo Yeon finally agreed to go on one weekend. She thought she needed it too, rather than closing herself from the world. She had friends who loved and cared for her, going to their picnic invitations was her way to thank them.

Jang Hee Eun, Chi Hun’s wife, smiled grimly. “Dr. Kang is good with children. She could be a good mother.”
