In a vast forest, two immigrant siblings from Korea named Lee Jae Sung and Lee Jae Min or Mei Mei are walking to reach their cousin's house.
Mei Mei: Oppa, let's ask for help. I'm really getting scared... Please?!
Sung: You're right! Maybe we should ask for help. Don't worry, I'll try to shout for help.
Mei Mei: OK, oppa!
Sung: Help, help?! Is someone there?
Fortunately, three young men named Yen Tian Men (Tian), Leung Chan Wei (Wei), and Wang Tsun Koh (Tsun) are also there in the forest.
Tsun: For sure, our dads will probably kill us.
Wei: You're right, I'll be dead if dad learns that we skipped our training to hunt here in the forest.
Tian: Don't worry, we have a bountiful hunt and I'll make sure that we will not get caught.
Tsun: By the way, I forgot to tell you that my cousins from Korea will arrive today.
Wei: Korea? Why did they come all the way here to our place?
Tian: Where are they? I'm really looking forward to meet your cousins, Tsun!
Sung: Help, help?! Is someone there?
Tsun: Did you hear that?
Tian: Yes, but are you done eating?
Wei: Yes, let's see who he is.
Tian: Let's go?
Wei: Ok, ok, let's go!
Tian: The shout came from there.
Tsun: C'mon, let's go!
Wei: Ok, ok, let's go!
Tian: Let's go!
Tsun: It seems like the one who needs help is a foreigner.
Tian: Yeah, I think so too.
They walked and walked up to the time they saw two scared individuals.
Tsun: Sung, Mei Mei! It's you. I didn't know that you already arrived!
Tian: Are they your cousins?
Tsun: Yes, they are my cousins.
Wei: Hi, my name is Leung Chan Wei but you can simply call me Wei.
Tian: Hi, my name is Yen Tian Men but you can call me Tian for short.
Mei Mei: Yen? Coincidentally, my oppa is a fan of Grandmaster Yen Liu Pang.
Tian: Really? He's actually my dad!
Mei Mei: Are you serious? My oppa couldn't stop talking how great and formidable Grandmaster Yen Liu Pang is! His day is not complete if he didn't talk about your father.
Sung: Hey, your embarrassing me, Mei Mei!
Mei Mei: Don't worry oppa, this will be the last one!
Tian, Tsun, Mei Mei, and Wei laughed while Sung stayed quiet.
Tsun: Let's go home guys, maybe Sung and Mei Mei needs some rest.
Tian: Sung, if you want to experience my father's martial arts, our school is always open for aspiring students like you.
Sung: I'll remember that. Mei Mei, you should stop calling me oppa now that we left Korea.
Mei Mei: But how will I address you? And oppa is really cute for you.
Sung: Okay, you can address me oppa but please, not in front of many people.
Mei Mei: Yes, oppa!
Wei: Wait, I should get going. My father has a feeding program in the nearby town. You know, publicity.
Sung: What's your father's profession, Wei?
Tsun: His father is Albert Leung Zi Chan, the mayor of this city.
Mei Mei: It seems that your father is really popular, Wei!
Wei: A little bit. I should really get going, or else my dad will kill me.
Tsun: We should get going too.
They decided to part ways; Tsun, Sung, and Mei Mei turned left; Wei turned right while Tian went straight. Though they part ways instantly, a very meaningful friendship bloomed on this day.
