(Then Eun carries Soondeok as they continue to kiss. Eun kicks open the door behind them and falls right on top of his wife as they landed inside the room. It's summer and being in a small room is stuffy as well as unbearable, so Eun gets on his knees to take off his clothes but suddenly, he freezes, for they're not alone in the room.)

'Oppa, what's wrong? You want me to take it off for you?'

'Uhh, Deok ah-'

'Here, I'll take it off for you.'

'No, Deok ah, we can't...he's here.'

'He? Who?'

'Your...your father.'

'My father? MY FATHER?!'

(Soondeok sits up while pushing Eun over and turns around – sure enough, her father, the old lady, and her son are all there – mouths wide open)

Soondeok: 'F...father! I...how did you, I mean when did you come back?'

Father: 'Not important.'

Eun: 'F...father, please accept our greetings.'

(Eun bumps Soondeok on the shoulder)

Soondeok: 'Ah yes! Greetings, please accept our greetings, it's been a long time after all.'

Father: 'Forget it, your dramatic entrance did the job.'

(Eun and Soondeok look at each other then look away – blushing)

Father: 'Ya, if you guys want to do it, just do it at home. This is the sacred temple, is that how I taught you daughter?'

Soondeok: 'No! Certainly not! I...I'm sorry, father.'

(Father sighs then look at Eun)

Father: 'Son.'

Eun: 'Yes sir!'

Father: 'Why are you guys here?'

Eun: 'Ah, sir...you see, we're here to see the old lady, after what happened last night, I mean, this morning...I mean...uh...'

Hyungsik: 'In short, you don't trust me, right?'

Eun: 'Of course not! It's just that...we'd like to see how the old lady's doing, that's all, we did save her...'

Father: 'You two men, come out with me, let the ladies chit chat here. I have something to say.'

(Father gets up and leaves the room while the two men follow, Soondeok walks closer to the old lady who's been silent the whole time, observing)

'My daughter, Soondeok right? Is that your name? I'm sorry, my memory's not as good as it once was.'

'Yes ma'am, that's my name.'

'My dear, you're beautiful.'

'I...'

'Just like your mother.'

'You know my mother?'

'Your father was my master's best friend – friend is hardly the correct word for it, they're more like brothers. Your parents visited my master's place often, it was their second home, your brother loved coming to our place, just like your sister did. You would've spent half your time there had the incident not taken place...'
