Chapter 26: The Rehearsal
Her mother had come back from the hill with a clean face and a paper bag of tangerines.
She did not say what had happened there.
She set the bag on the plastic cloth in the Mapo kitchen and sat down across from the two of them, and for a time nobody spoke.
Then Sun-hee reached over and took a tangerine and began to peel it, slowly, in one long spiral.
"Madam Gu telephoned me," she said. "Last night."
"I know," said Ye-rin.
"She said she would speak. I told her I would hear it first." Sun-hee set the peel on the table in a curl. "Then I told her I would speak too."
Seo-jun's hand stopped on the table.
"Ajumma," he said. "You don't have to."
"Be quiet, boy."
It was the voice she had used on him when he was twelve and sitting on the third step with his knees pulled up.
He shut his mouth.
Ye-rin bit her lip to keep from smiling, and her mother glanced at her and the corner of her own mouth moved.
