In the Bamboo forest

Lee Gon playfully walks back and forth in the place where the two obelisks are supposed to be. Lee Gon says that he came empty handed so door isn't opening, when Tae-Eul asks is this the wrong address of the doorway to your world. If you have to recite a spell or something, do it. Don't feel embarrassed. Tae-Eul asks is he kidding. She then feels that his lies are getting more detailed and annoyed when he explains. Tae-Eul tells Lee Gon that tomorrow his DNA results will come, and it will be a relief if she finds a relative of his family. If not, this is as much as she can do for him. 

She said clearly that she is helping, accompanying him till she gets his results. She is doing her duty.  He knows by now the way to go back to his world. Yet, he is not going. Till that results comes he choose to stay in her world and to be with her. As he met her now, thanked her for her existence and he doesn't have anything else to do in this world, ROK. He likes her. He was impressed, but clearly he knew that she isn't.  As she told him that she can do only this much.. and asked him not to call Eun-Sup as he is government official. 

Then Lee Gon says that even twins have different DNA and telling her-

Then Lee Gon says that even twins have different DNA and telling her-

"Even if you find a relative based on my DNA, they won't be my real family."

"Why would a relative not be your family?"

"My mother and father passed away a long time ago. Ironically, the first duty as a King is to carrying the funeral of the former King. It was when I was eight. (Takes a deep breath) That's a long a time ago. Shall we go now?"

She din say that he is talking nonsense or anything sarcastic here.. she doesn't know what to say.. and what he said felt true..he is not lying, but she can't believe him at the same time. She knows how it is to be to lose a parent. As her mom passed away. So she can understand a thing or two about it. He takes a deep breath, to feel strong and not got carried away with that sad feeling and tells her its been a long time. He changes the topic.. saying shall we leave. Tae-Eul simply complies, without a question. Starts walking 

They then try to know each other in their own way of talking.. Lee Gon asks her-

"What's his name? You're  an only child but you call him as your brother."

"What's your name, then? Why ask another gut's name when you don't even know yours?"

"I never said I don't know. I said, you can't say my name."

"Are you poet Kim So-wol? Wow, you're really good at pretending. I won't 'finish the last words I had in my heart,' so stop being noisy about my life."

Lee Gon doesn't understand what is their relationship. Also, about the poet.
