"It's coming, it's coming!"
Ma ri ran into the study room, where her sisters were sitting around a large table in the middle of the room.
"It's coming!" she said once again
"A letter?" asked Yoon
"What else," said Ma ri. "I'm sure when I saw the mailman through a big way, that there will be something exciting"
"How did you know that it came from my foster mother?" asked Sulli
She asked in a quiet, but she can't hide the excitement in her radiant eyes.
As Answer Ma ri, showed the letter, so the girls can see the text contained in the cover letter and addressed to their mother with neat handwriting.
"She immediately reply a letter from Mom," said Ma ri "I'm sure that she agreed" she continued "Oh Sulli , how nice"
"Shouldn't I went and told Mom?" Ju ni propose
Ju ni is the youngest, she was only ten years old. Ma ri sixteen while Yoon a year older.
Ju ni have fine hair and big eyes and a small replica in the form of Yoon and both are very similar to their mother.
"Don't! Don't you bother Mom" said Sulli quickly
"Why?" asked Ma ri
"Because she was busy with her books"
"Oh God, I hope we didn't disturb" said Ma ri
She looked with wonder face as she spoke, as if expecting her older sister will be denied. But Sulli just said calmly, "No, of course not. You know how Mom feels disturbed when she was interrupted while writing"
Ma ri put the letter on the table.
"I think I'll die of curiosity if mom is not immediately open the letter"
"It's only eleven o'clock" Sulli said. "We still have to wait until lunch time"
Yoon grumbling.
"Why do Mom has to concern herself with books all day?"
"I think Mom's writing a novel" Sulli said
'If only the novels it's good enough then we may be able to sell, "said Ma ri
"We're not going to do that sort of thing" argued Sulli
"Why not?" Ma ri reply
"But Mom would be very surprised if we propose to sell her work" Sulli said. "So that kind of proposal shouldn't need you to point out to Mom Mari, it will only make Mom sad"
"But a more miserable state is a state where we don't have the money at all" between Yoon with bitterness. "What clothes can you take or will you wear if your foster mother accept you living in Seoul, Sulli?"
"I had to sew a new dress since a week ago" said Sulli
"A dress just doesn't make much sense in Seoul" said Yoon. "It is true! Especially when a faithful adherent of the 'Ladies Journal', in the magazine mentioned that at least we must required ten new dresses for traveling in Seoul"
At the age of seventeen, Yoon has been very much concerned in the fashion world. Of the four sisters, Yoon most feel inferior because they always wear cheap clothes. She also often feel sad and disappointed not to be able to follow the ways of dressing up like the one in the Ladies Journal magazine .
It is true, think Sulli. Her appearance will be very pathetic when she had to go to Seoul. Her mother has failed to realize that the age of nineteen years was enough to Sulli to enjoy a more pleasant state that cann't be obtained at the place they live in this remote village.

If one day they got married, then that day will be a day full of sadness because they would leave their homes. and I guess, Sulli will do it in a short time "
"Married? Sulli?" Said Mrs.Choi

"Honey, how I can be such forgetfulness? Forget that your age was nineteen, I've been ignoring all along"

"Your future!" responsible Mrs.Choi
"My future mom? What do you mean Mom?
"That's always been thought of by father and mother," said Mrs.Choi. "But I always feel so sad, so helpless since your father's death that I forgot that your age is nineteen"
"Is it too old Mom?" Sulli said, laughing. "Soon my teeth will fall out and my hair will be white-haired"
"I'm talking earnestly Sulli. We did not have anything but I expect a husband for you. You have to go to Seoul soon and get acquainted with a few good men"
"We don't have enough money to go to Seoul Mom" said Sulli
"I'm not saying that we will personally finance the trip, I'm not as dumb Sulli" said Mrs.Choi

"They never liked me because they expect your father to marry with wealth and until this day they never forgive your father"
"Dad love Mom" said Sulli
"Oh, I forgot something"
"What about Mom?" Said Sulli
"Write a letter to your foster mother, Seo. She lived in Seoul"
