3rd Person POV
Before they knew it, they reached the island. Ji Ah and Hye Jin got off the boat first while Yeon wobbled off and bent over to the side as he felt all his stomach's contents rising up. Hye Jin decided to wait for Yeon while Ji Ah strode towards the awaiting woman, Seo Ki Chang's daughter Pyung Hee. After feeling somewhat okay, Yeon walked forward, but he was stumbling on his own feet. He accidentally hit a man with his shoulders.
"Ah, excuse me." Yeon said without looking at him and stood beside Ji Ah.
The surrounding people looked at the four of them, pointing their fingers or just plainly staring at them.
"I'm producer Nam Ji Ah, the one who you called." she said smiling at the woman.
"Are they with you?" she said looking at Hye Jin and Yeon.
"Ah she is but he-" Ji Ah got interrupted by Yeon.
"Yes, I'm with her. I'm a TV show crew." he said looking at the woman.
"What?" Ji Ah mouthed to him but he just ignored her.
"Let's go to my house." she said, turning around to lead them.
Yeon and Hye Jin lagged behind while Ji Ah walked alongside the woman. Yeon slowed down and looked over his shoulder at the elderly people who were still watching them.

"Please come in." Pyung Hee said walking into her house. "Would you like some barley tea?" confirming, she went to the kitchen to prepare.
Yeon and Ji Ah stopped walking and spoke with each other, to not disturb them or the plot (even more) Hye Jin walked inside.

"Did your father live alone?" JiAh started to interview Pyung Hee.
Hye Jin was leaning on the door frame, lost in her thoughts. She snapped out of it when Yeon walked out with a glass of barley tea. Yeon was listening intently to the conversation that was happening between Ji Ah and the woman.
"What about your mother?" JiAh asked after listening to the voicemail Pyung Hee made her hear.
"She passed away from cancer." she said wiping her tears. "How did he have such a dream?" she wondered.
"She came to greet him." Yeon said, intervening in their conversation.
He walked towards the door frame and pushed Hye Jin aside and sat down which made her roll her eyes but didn't comment on it.
"Seeing someone who died from living out one's lifespan means that person is here to take you." he started, his back facing them.
"The person who was going to die that day must've been you." He said turning to look at the woman and point at her.
"Don't" Ji Ah whispered to warn him.
"What?" the woman exclaimed, shocked.
"You survived thanks to your father." he said turning away from her.
Ji Ah poked Yeon's thigh with her pen while giving him a look.
"That's one of the theories. That's what he means." Hye Jin spoke after being silent for the duration of the conversation.

"Please stay at my house instead of a bed and breakfast." the woman said leading them towards the spare room.
"Thank you." Ji Ah said gratefully.
"I have something to do, so..." the woman trailed off to give them a hint and started to walk off.
"Okay, if you insist." Yeon said peeking into the room.
He sighed as he looked at the condition of the room. "It really is shabby."
"I'm fine with it." Ji Ah said with a shrug. "I'm used to it from going on business trips."
Hye Jin took a few steps away from them as she remembered what was about to happen. She clasped her hand on her mouth so they can't see her smiling weirdly.
"I'm not fine with it." he said sighing.
Ji Ah frowned and spoke looking at Yeon. "I'm sorry, but there's one room. And Hye Jin and I have to stay with the information source."
"Then what about me?" he asked almost as soon as she finished talking.
"There's a mountain." Ji Ah said pointing at a distance. "I watched on a documentary that you guys are good diggers."
Yeon scoffed at it and responded "I'm sorry, but I'm a modern type, so I can't sleep in places that has no boiler." he said throwing his bag in the room as to say he had claimed it.
But Ji Ah would never back down so she threw her bag in as well and blocked the door with her leg by resting her foot on the door frame.
Oh god, I laughed so hard at this scene.
"Don't you dare." Ji Ah said challenging Yeon.
"I'm a good digger." saying that he went under her leg and into the room.
Hye Jin accidentally let out a wheeze but no one heard her.

Yeon was moving the ice creams in the freezer around to find his beloved mint chocolate chip but couldn't find it, which made him frustrated.
He walked towards the door and knocked. "Excuse me."
The owner opened the door and asked Yeon who he was to which he replied that he was the customer.
"Why don't you have any mint chocolate chip ice cream?" Yeon demanded like a 5-year-old having a tantrum.
"Just eat what's in there." the old man said.
"What crappy customer service you have." Yeon said in disbelief.
Hye Jin rolled her eyes at his behaviour. He reminded her of her cousin's daughter.
