After the incident both of them walked towards the forest, which was not far away from Dae where they came from before. There's a river there. Then they sat down by the river. They just kept quiet with each other. Leesuk sat a little far from Ok. Because the girl seemed to put some distance between them.
"Are you afraid of me?" myung-ok asks to open the conversation.
Leesuk fell silent then looked at Myung-ok who looked sad. He was scared, curious too. In his heart he was sure that Ok couldn't hurt him. He kept quiet so that the girl could tell him about herself.
"Do you know any vampires?" myung-ok asked as he looked at Leesuk as if making sure his story was believable. "You know, they can live eternally without pain. According to legend, vampires drink blood. But we have evolved well. We just need pure energy and also drink animal blood to get power."
"Pure energy?"
"Yes, the pure energy we breathe through the lip link. Were you scared of me after I told you about this?" Myung-ok asks again to bring himself closer to Leesuk. Leesuk reflexively pulled back his body.
Myung-ok moves her body away from her new friend. "I thought you'd be afraid of me. I've never played with a kid my age. I became a Vampire when I was sixteen. Do you think it's my fault? When I want to eat. I'll get sick soon when I eat human food. So I asked you to eat and tell me. I'd better get you out of here. After that we will not meet again. And I beg you not to tell anyone this."
Myung-ok stood up and walked out of the place. He walked past Leesuk, his steps halted as his hands were held in the hands of his new friend. Ok looked at Leesuk who was now smiling kindly.
"Sit here, close to me. Come with me in a minute to see this river." Again he nodded to Myung-ok while looking into the bead of the girl's eyes which were now moved.
Leesuk feels guilty actually, because it was Myung-ok who held back his cries. "Hey! Sit down with me. We're not friends?"
Myung-ok smiles then sits next to Leesuk. The boy still holds Myung-ok's hand. He took off his hand, took the bracelet that he had all from his pocket, and put on the bracelet that he had been hiding.
Myung-ok is surprised even his lips continue to open staring at the beautiful bracelet that he had just wanted.
"It's proof that we're friends, I'm not afraid of you at all Ok."
"Thank you" said Myung-ok, holding his bracelet. Then he took out a handkerchief from behind his pocket. Silk handkerchief with a slightly untidy lotus flower embroidery. He immediately gave it to Leesuk. "Indeed the shape is not good but, I embroider it myself."
Leesuk accepted it and then saw it. "It's good, thanks Ok".
Leesuk stuffed Ok's silk handkerchief into his clothes bag. Then pull Myung-ok up until they get really close. "Is it true, if my— our lips are linked you'll get more energy?"
Myung-ok is surprised and just speechless he looks at Leesuk in confusion. Ok nodded, of course it was true even though he had never done so.

The crown prince's pavilion at night, the atmosphere was already quite quiet. Crown Prince Leesuk entered his room with a slack. Then he opened his sleeping blanket like someone was in it. It turns out that eunuch Choi disguised himself by pretending to be asleep.
"Eunuch Choi," call Leesuk then sit in front of eunuch Choi.
Eunuch Choi peeked out from under the blanket to make sure who called him. After he saw Leesuk there, Eunuch Choi immediately opened his blanket. "Crown prince, how can you do this to a servant?"
The eunuch immediately stood up and moved to where he should be. The king sat in his place. The boy looks so bright.
"I'm only out for a moment" replied Leesuk lightly.
"Crown son." Yeon suddenly entered from the back door and immediately gave her a greeting.
Yeon is the crown prince's personal bodyguard. They have been together since Leesuk still bears the nickname prince. There was nothing he trusted the most but Yeon. Guards with firm bodies and firm facial lines.
"I want to talk to Yeon." Leesuk looked at Eunuch Choi asking the Eunuch to die the two of them.
Then eunuch Choi walked backwards out of the room.After eunuch Choi came out Leesuk looked at Yeon seriously.
"Then do you know who that girl is?"
"He was the son of Merchant Park he was quite influential in China and Mongols. His name is Park Myung-ok he also has an older sister Park Myung-Hee." Yeon explained.
"I want the girl to be the Crown Princess" Leesuk said.
It definitely made Yeon stumble. I don't know what the crown prince is thinking. "They don't have enough power in the palace. I don't think the queen and the queen would approve of it. In any case, Your Majesty the election of the Crown Princess is entirely the authority of the southern pavilion."
"Is loving her not enough to make her a person who can always be by my side?"
Yeon looked at the master. He sighed and shook his head. It felt like Leesuk was currently drunk for a moment because of a girl today.

Night at the simple house of the Park merchant. Myung-ok he was drinking his meal with his older brother Myung-hee. Then he took the medicine his father had made.
"Dad, how could you be this great? Dad was really amazing. Dad can make us not have to hurt humans. I'm really amazed at Dad" Myung-ok praised.
Mr. Park smiled looking at the youngest child. Lady Park approaches them with Myung-hee and they sit down together.
"Ok, you've always praised your father. Don't you want to praise Mom?" madam Park asked as she hugged her daughter.
"This kid he's always exaggerating about dad, isn't he?" myung-hee Sahut.
Ok looked at the brother with annoyance. "Sister .. Why is it always annoying? Get married soon or you'll be a bitch! Marry Youngwoo he likes you a lot. That's why he comes here so often" Myung-ok ledek
"Mother, look at her she's always teasing me," Myung-hee fights and runs to hug her mother.
"Are you just gonna hug Mom? What about dad?" whining Mr. Park to his two daughters.
Myung-ok runs to his father and hugs his father. The little family was always filled with happiness.
At that moment a guard came. He whispered something to Mr. Park. The gazes of the two were serious, then Mr. Park immediately walked into his study.
Myung-ok looks at Myung-hee who just shrugs her shoulders. Although both are curious. Both did not find out further.
"Mom can I go out today?" ask Myung-ok. To the mother who was checking the cloth in the next room.
Their mother also worked as a tailor who was heavily ordered by her aristocratic family.
"Byeah, be careful."
"Son't you want to come with me?" ask Myung-ok while cleaning up some embroidery tools.
"No, I'm lazy."
"All right." Myung-ok then runs out of the house.
