"Hi, I'm Bora's mom, the owner of the nearby supermarket," Bora's mom introduced herself, to which I offered a bow. Beside her stood her husband, who added, "I run a hardware store."

Their words triggered laughter among them. "It's refreshing to have some youth in this town," Bora's mom exclaimed, earning a nod from me. As the conversation continued, I felt my ears growing warm, a sign of the spice's effect. Swiftly, I reached for a glass of water to quell the reaction.

"You didn't purchase anything at our store the other day," Bora's mom pointed out. I looked at her, perplexed. "Sorry?" I responded, to which she quickly clarified, "Just drop by anytime."

I took the opportunity to explain, "Actually, I couldn't find what I was looking for." This revelation seemed to stun them. "What? What didn't we have?" Bora's mom inquired, prompting a chuckle from me.

"I was searching for a specific branded shampoo," I explained, causing them to exchange puzzled glances. Amid their confusion, Bora's mom began to chuckle, eventually rising to her feet.

As they all started to leave, I found myself standing alone, my embarrassment causing me to look down. Taking a deep breath, I suppressed the urge to rub my neck as it began to itch.

Suddenly, the owner of the café spoke up, addressing me. "You're a dentist," he remarked, making me direct my attention toward him. "Gosh, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions about you. I apologize," he admitted, sitting down beside me.

I shifted slightly, creating some distance between us, and offered an awkward smile. As my forearms started to itch, likely due to my nerves, I began to rub them gently to ease the discomfort.

On the other side, I wandered around the party, engaging in conversations with the elderly attendees. Amidst the mingling, I spotted Ms. Yeo and chimed in, "Ms. Yeo, I'll take a bowl of yukgaejang too."
