This isn't a grand narrative of the passage of time; instead, it focuses on a segment of Yn and Tae's punishment, followed by an endearing comfort scene.
Tae, torn between firm authority and deep affection, imposes a rigorous punishment on Yn for her deception. "Stop crying. I don't wanna see any tears," Tae commands, his voice firm yet tinged with regret. Yn hastily complies, wiping away tears in a futile attempt to conceal her vulnerability.
As Yn kneels, hands and knees throbbing, she pleads, "Oppa, I was already punished. My knees and hands are hurting so much." Tae, coldly, questions, "Is it my fault?" Despite Yn's tearful plea, Tae remains resolute.
Tae embraced Yn, their laughter echoing on the beach. With a twinkle in his eye, he whispered, "We make a great team, Princess." Yn's heart swelled with love as she replied, "The best team ever, Oppa."
