After taking in her appearance Rian realized she was starring and quickly went into the routine she had practiced.

“Hello Mrs. Bang my name is Rian Shaw. I’m really happy to finally meet you.” To finish is properly she gave a 180 degree bow.

“Wow! You speak Korean really well. You’re really different. Yongguk told us you were a foreigner but he didn’t say you were such a pretty one.”

....

“Rian, I have to be honest with you, we didn’t expect you to be…black...” Rian nodded her head in understanding. “… not that that’s a problem but we just didn’t expect it. Similar to how I imagine your family will react if they were to meet Yongguk. You’re unique especially to us and my husband can be…stubborn at times so I apologize in advance for his cold behavior.”

“Actually Yongguk has already met my parents, several weeks ago. And, don’t worry, I understand if Mr.Bang is not used to me. Korea is very homogenous society, which I was well aware of before I came here. To be honest it was your approval I really wanted the most.”

“Why is that?”

“Well they say that if you win the heart of the mom you win the heart of everyone in the family.” Mrs. Bang smiled brightly.

“Oddly, I think that saying is true.”
