As he spends his time there, he notices many pretty girls, and finds himself free of his father's scold : "Yangbian is to graduate, not to flirt". As he's there, his tour guide, In-pyeong helps him find his way in a foreign land. One day, Cheol-su is lost at the park in where he sees a beautiful Korean girl. He demands that his tour guide find out who she is. This Korean girl finds him vulgar for staring at her, and looks away in disgust. Little did he know, they were to be in the same excavation party to look for the tombs. Her name is Yeong-hee. Yeong-hee's best friend, Hye-yeong, came with her, and and strange enough, she falls in love with the charismatic In-pyeong, the tour guide.

Inside, they continue to argue as to whose fault it was that they got stuck, and were soon dumbfounded, as they were obviously both incorrect.

Cheol-su decides to look for the shoes, and Yeong-hee is touched by his efforts to help her feel more comfortable in a confined space with no security to which they can be rescued. Cheol-su fails to find her shoes, but he shares the story of Cinderella with Yeong-hee. (Ref: the lost glass slippers). Yeong-hee apologizes to Cheol-su, and realised that indeed she was also very harsh. Cheol-su acknowledges his mistakes as well. Soon, the rescue team
