She didn‘t see Luhan when she came home. He stayed out of sight. If he was in the house, she didn‘t know where he was. She was relieved. He was the last person she felt like talking to after all the grief she got earlier that day because of him. That afternoon, Mrs. Bae and Mrs. Jung stopped by to visit her. She led them to the parlor with the two couches and three chairs. It was more comfortable then the parlor with the large oval table. She sat on the light blue couch that was on the opposite side of the two white chairs.

"It‘s good to see you," Seohyun greeted. The two older women were leaders of the Women‘s ChristJoon Hong Group at the church and since Seohyun often attended their meetings and volunteered to help out at their functions, she thought of them as friends.

"We were wondering if you are feeling alright," Mrs. Bae said. "We missed you at church today."

"Oh, that." She shifted uncomfortably on the couch. "I got detained. Mrs. Cho and Miss Mi Cha wished to speak with me about a personal matter that couldn‘t wait."

"Is someone sick?" Mrs. Jung asked, immediately concerned.

"No. Everything is fine." She didn‘t wish to go into the conversation with her two friends. She hoped that the women sitting across from her wouldn‘t ask her anything else about it. To her relief, they didn‘t.

"Well, we wanted to ask you if you‘re up to cooking three dozen chocolate chip cookies. YoungJae and Joon Hong just got adopted and we‘re going to throw a party to celebrate. We plan to go by the orphanage tomorrow but we don‘t cook as well as you do."

"They finally found someone to adopt the two brothers so they can stay together?" Seohyun was happy to hear this.

"Mr. and Mrs. Shim," Mrs. Jung replied. "The doctor confirmed that they won‘t be able to have any children, and after much prayer and consideration, they decided to adopt the two boys."

Mrs. Bae added, "We think everyone will get along wonderfully once the initial period of getting to know each other is worked through. That process can be awkward for both the children and adults."

"We can‘t expect people thrown into a new situation with someone they hardly know to embrace it right away," Mrs. Jung agreed. "If the people are willing to open their hearts to the other person, things usually work out. We have yet to see a case where the people feel the need to depart from each other."

Seohyun suddenly wondered if they were talking about her and Luhan. She cleared and decided to ignore the hint. Instead, she said, "When do the cookies have to be ready?"

They looked startled by the question.

"I will make the cookies," Seohyun clarified. So they hadn‘t really come over to ask her about cookies. They were trying to talk her into staying married. She didn‘t know that so many people were devoted to Mr. Xi.

Mrs. Bae quickly nodded. "Yes. Thank you, Seohyun. We had feared that you would be too busy to help...but you‘re not, right?" She studied Seohyun with intense interest.

"Right," Seohyun responded, pretending she didn‘t notice their shock. "I have absolutely nothing to do. I spent most of this day by myself. In fact, I‘ve seen very little of Mr. Xi since the reception. He‘s always running off somewhere. I even had to eat breakfast and lunch by myself. Apparently, there‘s nothing to this whole marriage thing. It‘s a wonder that wives don‘t die of boredom." She stood up. "I do want to get started on those cookies. I do enjoy making them. I‘m pleased you thought of me for this task."

They looked too stunned to speak as they stood up.

"What time should I deliver them to the orphanage?" Seohyun asked.

Mrs. Jung finally answered. "Tomorrow morning at eight," she stammered.

"Good! I‘ll deliver them since I‘ll have the whole morning to myself." Seohyun showed them out the front door. "Thank you for coming by and telling me the great news!"

They nodded, said good-bye and left.

Seohyun shut the door in satisfaction. She was tired of people feeling sorry for Luhan. She figured that should take care of people sticking up for him since they would now be aware that he left his bride all to herself on the day after their wedding.
