Yumin is just sitting in her room on Wednesday evening when she hears the phone ring downstairs. She doesn’t bother getting up and the ringing quickly stops, most likely because her mother picked up the phone.
A few seconds later, she calls up from the bottom floor: "Yumin, it is your friend for you. Come to the phone."
She descends the stairs and moves to the cord phone that her mother is holding in both hands, covering the speaker. "Don’t talk too long," Yumin’s mother reminds her. "You have school tomorrow and you need to sleep enough before then."
With those words, she hands Yumin the phone and walks away, though Yumin notices that she stays close enough to keep an eye on her and overhear at least her part of the conversation.
When Yumin puts the speaker to her ear, she hears a laugh from the other side. "Wow, your mom really is strict," Astrid’s voice says, sounding amused. "It’s not even nine yet. Does she expect you to hop into bed the second the sun goes down?
