HARD LAUNCH

AH, THE bandages are finally gone.

Sohee thought they would go straight to the jewelry store, so he was a bit surprised when Kim Heedo brought him to the hospital first.

The doctor then removed the stitches.

"My ear looks as good as new," Sohee said while checking his ear in the rearview mirror. Heedo and he were back in the car, and they were headed to the jewelry store this time. "Will it be too weird to send a picture of my healed ear to your mother, Heedo-ya? Mother-in-law feels bad that she wasn't able to accompany us when we got my stitches removed."

"You don't have to do that since we're visiting my parents this weekend anyway."

"We are?"

"Oh? I forgot to tell you," Kim Heedo said. "We'll pick up the rings today, and then we'll visit my parents' house this weekend because Shaman Jung will be there. He'll put his blessings in our rings."

Ah, right.
