GW lays down the chess piece. “It’s slowly beginning to start.” Gisaeng asks what. GW replies, “An exciting hunt.”
Assassins multiply and surround KC and YW.
Another assassin holds MS at knifepoint.
KC and YW fight and when they deliver a strong blow, the ninjas
disappear like mist. Yet when attacks, KC is hurt by the knife. YW
reminds him what she said. Although they are only apparitions, they can
hurt you.
The lone assassin wants MS to finish his story about KC but head
guard appears to MS’ aide and so do they rest of the guards. They fight.
KC complains that there is no end to the ninjas so YW tells him there is only one real person and they have to find him.
The guards fight MS’s attackers outside the room now.
YW is hurt on the arm like KC by the assassins.
One of the assassins is about to stab YW but KC blocks him with his
bare arm. As if time has stopped, YW remembers her childhood when little
KC saved her from a wild dog. Little KC tells her to stay still and
don’t avoid the dog’s eyes in fear. He assures her, “I will protect you
by your side.” But YW is scared so she screams as she ducks her head and
the dog attacks. Little KC blocks the dog with his bare arm and the dog
bites him on the arm and keeps his grip on it.
In the present, KC grabs the assassin’s sword and sneers. “I got
you.” It’s the real ninja and he knocks him out. All the other
apparitions disappear.
KC sees YW looking at his wound so he says to her, “Don’t worry. It’s
nothing.” YW remembers little KC saying the same thing. YW slaps him on
the head and reprimands him for doing a stupid thing. It was too
dangerous. KC can’t believe this is the way she is saying thanks. “Why
don’t you just say thank you if you are?” YW retorts, “I never asked you
to save me.” When KC replies, “Anyway, I am your life-saver,” she slaps
him again and exclaims, “I am not that weak for you to have to save
me.” She leaves him.
Alone, YW remembers little KC telling her to not be afraid and
calming the dog down, despite his arm still in the dog’s mouth and
bleeding. After KC sends the dog away, YW sees the blood and cries.
Little KC tries to comfort her but doesn’t really know what to do with a
crying girl.
