HOW'D YOU GET HERE? AND WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU WERE COMING? JUST A MOMENT! I TOOK THE BUS, OF COURSE! DIDN'T I TELL YOU I'D BE COMING A FEW DAYS AGO? YEAH, BUT I THOUGHT YOU'D TELL ME WHEN. WHY'D YOU GET IN SO LATE? LET ME CARRY THAT. OH, DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED. WHEN I GOT TO THE BUS STATION THIS MORNING, I REALIZED I HAD LEFT THE SIDE DISHES I PACKED FOR YOU AT HOME. THEY'LL GO BAD! OH MY! THE SIDE DISHES! OH MY! THE TIME! I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN AGES, SO I KEPT GETTING LOST, AND THAT'S WHEN I REMEMBERED TO CALL YOU. OH MY! WHY DON'T I JUST CALL?! YOUR MOTHER'S QUITE THE AIRHEAD, DON'T YOU THINK? GET IN. IT'S GETTING LATE. I WENT HOME TO GRAB THEM AND RAN BACK TO THE STATION, BUT THEN I MISSED THE BUS. I DECIDED I MIGHT AS WELL WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE, BUT I WAS SO OUT OF IT THAT I FORGOT TO CALL YOU. IS IT OKAY FOR ME TO GO TOO? WHERE ARE WE GOING? YOUR FRIEND'S HOUSE? YEAH, HE SAID IT'S OKAY. YOU'RE... IN SEOUL? YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WERE COMING. WHICH STATION ARE YOU- THE EXPRESS BUS TERMINAL? HANG ON, OKAY? I'LL- BRING HER HERE. HUH? I SAID, BRING HER HERE. I'LL CLEAN UP THE MESS. I'M GLAD IT WORKED OUT LIKE THIS. IF MY PHONE HADN'T RUNG... THE GOLD PALACE, PLEASE. ...WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED? DOES EVERYONE KNOW HOW DELICIOUS GRAPES ARE GROWN? THE MOST ESSENTIAL STEP IS PRUNING OLD GRAPEVINES BEFORE NEW SHOOTS CAN DEVELOP. IN OTHER WORDS, ONLY A DILIGENT FARMER CAN GROW THE MOST MOUTH-WATERING GRAPES. SO, HOW ARE YOU CARING FOR YOUR OWN GRAPEVINE? IS IT BOUNTIFUL, WITH GRAPES FRUITING ON NEW SHOOTS? OR IS IT NOT BEARING ANY GRAPES, AS YOU NEGLECTED TO PRUNE THE OLD VINES? DO YOU FEEL STUCK IN LIFE BECAUSE YOU FEAR STARTING ANEW? HE SEEMED PRETTY DRUNK. MAYBE I SHOULD’VE HELPED HIM CLEAN UP FIRST. HEY, WON. ...YEAH? HOW ABOUT SETTING YOUR GAZE ON NEW SHOOTS IN ORDER TO BEAR GOOD FRUIT? REMEMBER WHEN YOU GOT LOST AS A CHILD? WHEN I GOT LOST? YOU WERE AROUND FIVE OR SIX. WE WERE AT THE SUPERMARKET, AND YOU DISAPPEARED IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. REMEMBER THAT? I'M NOT SURE. HM... SOUNDS FAMILIAR... WELL, YOU WERE PROBABLY TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER. I LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR YOU, COMPLETELY SHOCKED THAT YOU WERE GONE. I ASKED EVERY PERSON IF THEY'D SEEN YOU... ...AND EVEN REQUESTED AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE PA SYSTEM. I FELT LIKE I HAD LOST MY MIND. AFTER A LONG TIME HAD PASSED, I SAT DOWN IN THE OFFICE AND CRIED MY EYES OUT. BUT THEN... ...YOU WALKED IN WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE ON YOUR FACE, HOLDING HANDS WITH AN EMPLOYEE. WHEN YOU SAW ME, YOU WIPED AWAY MY TEARS... AND ASKED ME WHY I WAS CRYING. MOM, WHY ARE YOU CRYING? IT WAS ALMOST RIDICULOUS, BUT I FELT SO RELIEVED... AFTER THAT, I DECIDED THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED, I'D NEVER LET GO OF YOUR SMALL HAND EVER AGAIN. TIME FLIES, HUH? THAT CHILD'S GOTTEN SO BIG, FINDING HIS MOM WHEN SHE GETS LOST. BOTH THEN AND NOW, I COULDN'T BE THERE FOR YOU... REALLY? BUT I'VE NEVER FELT THAT I WAS ALONE. WOW, YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO FLATTER SOMEONE? YOU'RE ALL GROWN UP NOW. THOUGHT YOU ONLY GREW IN HEIGHT. I'VE BEEN A GROWN-UP FOR QUITE A WHILE. I TURN 30 NEXT YEAR. RIGHT... YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN MATURE FOR YOUR AGE. WELL, THAT'S LIFE. WHAT CAN YOU DO? I ALSO FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY. I WONDERED, WHY DO I GET WRITTEN OFF AS A LOSER WHEN LIFE KEEPS KNOCKING ME DOWN? AND I ALWAYS DWELT IN DIFFICULTY. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT HELPLESS. BUT I WASN'T. WE WERE ALL WALKING DOWN THE DIFFICULT ROAD HAND IN HAND, COMFORTING EACH OTHER ALONG THE WAY. I'M SURE THAT IF WE ENDURE THE HIGH WINDS TOGETHER, WE'LL ENJOY A GENTLE BREEZE SOMEDAY. AND WHEN THAT DAY COMES, WE'LL BE ABLE TO LAUGH LIGHT- HEARTEDLY WITH ONE ANOTHER. I HOPE THAT DAY COMES SOON. WELCOME! MY NAME IS KANG SEO-AN. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY APPEARANCE. WOO-WON AND I WERE DRINKING BEFORE YOU CALLED. PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME. OH MY... I'M SORRY FOR BARGING IN LIKE THIS. A MARVELOUS HOME WITH A MARVELOUS HOMEOWNER... FEEL FREE TO DROP THE FORMALITIES. OH MY... SHALL I? ...MOM. I LEFT AN EXTRA BLANKET IN YOUR ROOM. OH, OKAY... THANKS... I THINK PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE GREAT! OH MY! THIS ROOM IS AMAZING! IT LOOKS LIKE SOME SORT OF STAGE SET. THIS IS A PENTHOUSE, RIGHT? FASCINATING. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT. IS SEO-AN FROM ONE OF THOSE FAMILIES WITH GENERATIONAL WEALTH? I'M NOT TOO SURE-- DID YOU TWO FIGHT? N-NO! WE DIDN'T! HOW FASCINATING. YOU'RE A TERRIBLE LIAR, YOU KNOW THAT? AND FRIENDS FIGHT. IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. H-HOW LONG ARE YOU STAYING? WHY-ARE YOU TURNING RED? ME? RED? CHANGING THE SUBJECT, HUH? I'LL PROBABLY HEAD BACK TOMORROW. ALREADY? HOW DO I FACE SEO-AN FROM NOW ON...? WOO-WON! CAN YOU GO BUY ME SOME DIGESTIVE MEDICINE? WHY? YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD? I'VE BEEN FEELING BLOATED ALL DAY. PERHAPS I'M ILL FROM THE HEAT. OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. GET SOME REST. THANKS, DEAR. WHY NOW?! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? DON'T YOU START WORK IN THE AFTERNOON? OH, YEAH. I'M JUST GOING TO THE PHARMACY. MY MOM HAS AN UPSET STOMACH. STOMACH? I PROBABLY HAVE MEDICINE FOR THAT. IT'S OKAY! THERE'S A SPECIFIC ONE SHE ALWAYS TAKES. OH, REALLY? ABOUT YESTERDAY- I HAVE TO GO NOW! SORRY. LET'S TALK LATER. HE'S USUALLY NOT AWAKE YET... DID HE NOT SLEEP WELL? UHH... WHY DO I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT? HE JUST GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE MOOD, THAT'S ALL. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DATE. I HAVE TO STOP- PAUSE "IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DATE." THAT'S RIGHT. THE ANSWER'S ALREADY THERE. IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO DATE, I HAVE TO TURN HIM DOWN. TURN HIM DOWN... IF I REJECT HIM... ...WILL THAT BE THE END OF OUR RELATIONSHIP? I CAN'T BE THE FRIEND YOU WANT ME TO BE. CAN WE NOT REMAIN AS FRIENDS? I DON'T WANT THAT... BUT HOW COULD I DATE SOMEONE IN MY CURRENT SITUATION? I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO ACCEPT AND LOVE THEM AS OTHER PEOPLE DO. BUT WHAT IF I GET GREEDY? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THEN? AND IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AFTER THAT... ...HOW DO I GIVE THEM UP? HOW? HOW? YES? HI, DEAR. DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Pizza Delivery Man and the Gold Palace #30](/series/the-pizza-delivery-man-and-the-gold-palace-kqcmbx1d/chapter-30-62zuwt) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-pizza-delivery-man-and-the-gold-palace-kqcmbx1d ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
