SEOK MOON-GYEOM HAS A PERSISTENT AND CRUEL NATURE, IF HE FINDS OUT THAT THE PERSON BROUGHT BEFORE HIM SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME, HE WILL NEVER LET THEM LIVE. SO PLEASE- MASTER. MY FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL MASTER. ...THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING UP UNTIL NOW. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? I AM KIM SEO-UN. NAM-GIL. A MAN WITH A CRESCENT MOON BIRTHMARK... THIS GUY IS THE ONE. DRAG HIM AWAY!! NAM-GIL!! NAM-GIL!! NAM-GIL'S DREAM... IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE HAD THIS DREAM... COULD IT BE... AHH... NO WONDER. TODAY IS THAT CHILD'S DEATH ANNIVERSARY. IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE THAT INCIDENT. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME FOR NAM-GIL TO HAVE RETURNED IF HE HAD SURVIVED. A VERY LONG TIME AGO, FLEEING FROM SEORABOL WHERE SEOK MOON-GYEOM IS TO THIS ISLAND, I MET NAM-GIL HERE, AND LOST NAM-GIL TO THOSE WHO PURSUED ME. TODAY, FOR THAT CHILD, LET'S GO BUY SOME GROCERIES. And also... WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT CAME? WHAT'S ALL THIS FUSS ABOUT? HAVE YOU HEARD? THEY SAY A NEW LORD HAS BEEN DISPATCHED HERE THIS TIME. ALL OF A SUDDEN? WHERE DID HE COME FROM? THEY SAY HE CAME FROM SEORABOL? FROM SEORABOL...? ALL THE WAY TO THIS ISLAND...? WHY..? COULD IT BE SEOK MOON-GYEOM...?! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? UGH YOU'RE THIS SEOK MOON-GYEOM'S WIFE, SO WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING? EVEN THIS PLACE, TO STAY- IS NO LONGER SAFE! HUH? HE LOOKS FAMILIAR... WHERE HAVE I SEEN HIM BEFORE? HAVE YOU ARRIVED, LORD GEUMO? THIS WAY, SIR. OH, GO AHEAD. AH, THAT SEEMS TO BE THE WOMAN THE MASTER WAS LOOKING FOR... MAEK-AH! YES! FOLLOW THAT WOMAN BEHIND AND FIND OUT WHERE SHE LIVES. I FLED TO THIS ISLAND BECAUSE IT WAS FAR FROM WANGGYEONG, BUT FOR AN OFFICIAL TO BE DISPATCHED FROM SEORABOL... WITH POWER LIKE SEOK MOON-GYEOM'S, TWISTING A SINGLE ISLAND'S OFFICIAL ARM AROUND WOULD BE CHILD'S PLAY IF HE ASKED THE NEW LORD TO LOOK FOR ME...! THIS IS BAD. AS SOON AS DAY BREAKS, I MUST LEAVE THIS PLACE. EXCUSE ME. BY ANY CHANCE, ARE YOU KIM SEO-UN? THE LORD WHO WAS APPOINTED TO THIS ISLAND TODAY SAYS THERE IS SOMETHING HE NEEDS TO CHECK. EXACTLY WHAT... ALLOW ME TO BORROW YOUR WRIST FOR A MOMENT. AH...! A CRESCENT MOON ON THE WRIST... THIS PERSON IS KIM SEO-UN. TAKE THEM AWAY! YES!! W- WAIT, LET GO OF THIS! WHY! WHY IS THE NEW LORD LOOKING FOR ME?! YOU CAN FIND OUT THE ANSWER BY GOING THERE YOURSELF. THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON WHY A LORD I'VE NEVER MET WOULD LOOK FOR ME. THE NEW LORD HAS ALREADY RECEIVED INSTIGATION FROM SEOK MOON-GYEOM IN SEORABOL AND HAS COME TO CAPTURE ME! GET INSIDE! LO- LORD... HA... JUST THIS ONCE, PLEASE OVERLOOK THIS!!! JUST LIKE I'VE LIVED UNTIL NOW, LIKE A DEAD MOUSE, I'LL LIVE AS IF I DON'T EXIST! PLEASE, AT LEAST TO THAT MAN SEOK MOON-GYEOM, TURN A BLIND EYE JUST ONCE TO THE FACT THAT I'M HERE! IF YOU DO THAT... -YES, IF YOU DO SO, HOW COULD I KEEP MY SANITY FOR LONG? WITH YOUR MOUTH, IF YOU INDULGE AS IF BLOCKING EVERY ORIFICE OF YOUR BODY, YOUR CURVING WAIST... IS LIKE A FLOWER FORCIBLY PLUCKED FROM THE SEOCHEON FLOWER GARDEN. THIS VOICE...! WITH HANDS STAINED IN SWEET SCENT, I— WILL BREAK IT DOWN OVER AND OVER, AND COVET YOUR BREATH.
