Evelina sat elegantly in front of Cha-young, a subtle smile playing on her lips, causing the young woman to flinch slightly. Evelina had always possessed a quiet demeanor, rarely engaging in extensive conversations. As she sipped her juice placidly, Cha-young couldn't help but sulk and pout at the enigmatic woman before her.

With a deliberate clearing of her throat, Cha-young tentatively spoke up, sensing that there was a purpose behind Evelina's unexpected presence. "Are you here to offer me some advice?" she ventured.

Evelina chuckled softly before sighing wistfully. "Ah, Ms. Hong, you see right through me," she responded with a hint of amusement in her voice. "I understand all too well the pain of familial wounds. My own mother was consumed by materialism and favored my brother over me, leaving me yearning for affection from my distant father."

She paused for a moment before offering words tinged with wisdom and experience. "But heed my words, Ms. Hong - harboring resentment towards your parents may bring temporary satisfaction, but it will ultimately lead to regret." Her gaze held an intensity as she continued solemnly: "Regret is the most painful thing in life."

Cha-young cast her gaze downwards, allowing Evelina's words to penetrate her thoughts like a gentle stream flowing through a tranquil forest. With delicate grace, Evelina placed her hands over Cha-young's own and softly conveyed, "Ms. Hong, my husband and Mr. Hong are currently enjoying drinks at their usual haunt. Come, let us join them."

Though stirred by Evelina's wise words urging her to reconnect with her father, Cha-young's pride stood as a barrier against such vulnerability. Her lips briefly formed a pout before she mustered the courage to meet Evelina's emerald eyes and declared firmly, "I have no intention of seeking out my father. I simply crave the flavors of tofu accompanied by kimchi and an array of jeon dishes."

Evelina chuckled indulgently at Cha-young's attempt to maintain a facade of indifference; however, beneath it all lay the image of a daughter yearning for reconciliation with her father. In witnessing Cha-young's display of stubbornness tinged with longing, Evelina couldn't help but be reminded of herself in earlier days alongside her own father – oh, how she missed him.

After settling the bill and purchasing two umbrellas from the nearby convenience store - enveloping themselves in both protection from the elements and newfound companionship - these two enchanting women embarked on a leisurely stroll towards their destination while sharing light-hearted laughter that forged an instant bond between them within just moments.

Evelina's elegant brow furrowed in disapproval as she observed the multitude of people congregating outside the restaurant where her husband and Mr. Hong were indulging in their evening libations. A quick glance towards Cha-young revealed a similar expression etched upon her features.
