"Yes, Ms. Yoon," they all answered.
"These punks. Do they think we live in a cave?" Pyo Chi Su said. He is seating next to Yoon Se-ri.
"Yah! Be nice. It's their first time," she told him. "I'm excited," Se-ri said.
"Don't you remember our agreement before you left North Korea?" Pyo Chi Su whispered. "If you return, I will bury you in one of our mountains or rivers?" he teased Se-ri.

"I need to go the bathroom; you can go ahead. I'll follow you guys," Se-ri told Secretary Hong.
"I'll wait for you here," Pyo Chi Su told her and she nodded.
She goes to find the bathroom. She was in a hurry to go pee and got a little bit lost. She is holding the door to what looks like the women's bathroom. Before she tried opening the door, it suddenly opened and when she looked up to who opened it, she was surprised—
"Ri Jeong Hyeok?" Yoon Se-ri exclaimed.
They both looked at each other in awe and surprise and wondered how in the world where they both at the same hotel.
