When she visited Peter's parents's home to celebrate Thanksgiving,  she had two minds, one was she kept her family tradition of eating sweet potato tempura, and the other was it had no longer a reputation compared to their family. Also, she recognized she totally forgot that her mom's fridge was there. and she found hundreds of old family photos, making her feel the love of her mom who always tried to preserve and observe the growth of her daughter. Before going back to her house, she went to 찜질방 where her family and Peter went when they met first. She had scrubbed her body as new as baby skin, and had time to relax in the 찜질방, reminding of her mom.

Additionally, she realized that she had completely forgotten about her mom's fridge being there. Upon discovering it, she found hundreds of old family photos, which reminded her of her mother’s love and her efforts to capture and cherish her daughter’s growth. Before returning to her own home, she visited a 찜질, a place she, her family, and Peter first visited together. There, she had her body scrubbed until it was as smooth as a baby's skin and took the time to relax, reminiscing about her mother.
