(Do-Yun is in his well furnished and exquisite room getting dressed. He whistles happily, and calls on his personal assistant to help him dress properly)
Do-Yun: (In Korean) Anybody there? Come help me...
Ki-Jung: (Rushes in. He is his personal assistant) I'm here, Your Majesty...
Do-Yun: There you go...
Ki-Jung: (Buttoning Do-Yun's clothes, and tying his robes properly. He reaches for the Prince's special perfume and sprays it onto his clothes)
Do-Yun: (So delighted, and smiling)
Ki-Jung: It seems your Majesty is going out on a special occasion...
Do-Yun: (Smiles) Yes. You guessed right!
Ki-Jung: (Smiles mischievously) What could that be?
Do-Yun: (He stops smiling and spanks Ki-Jung on the cheek)
Ki-Jung: Ouch! I only asked a humble question!
Do-Yun: (Scoffs) Humble indeed!
Well, if you must know, you better promise not to tell anyone, if you are asked about my whereabouts...
Ki-Jung: (Bows) I promise.
Do-Yun: (Hesitates, but then speaks) I'm going out on a date.
Ki-Jung: (Squeals) A date?! Wow!
Do-Yun: Shush! You're too loud! (Trying hard to cushion him) I should have known better not to tell you; you're already close to exposing my secret!
Ki-Jung: (Composes himself) I'm really sorry your Majesty... I got so carried away.
Do-Yun: (Stares at him, and shakes his head) It's okay. Well I'm going out on a date with my beloved; Sarah...(He says dreamily, already seeing Sarah's beautiful face and lovely smile. He was so caught up in the moment that he seemed not to notice the presence of Ki-Jung anymore... Until Ki-Jung jolts him back to his senses)
Ki-Jung: (Staring at him in awe) Your Majesty? What are you thinking so much about? (He waves his hand in front of Do-Yun's face, jolting him back) Your Majesty?
Do-Yun: Huh? (He said regaining himself) What where you saying?
Ki-Jung: (Sighs) Well, nothing.
Do-Yun: (He jumps to his feet and begins to hurry) I'm going to be late for my date! It's a surprise date; Sarah doesn't know about it. I have to be there before her! (He said about to hurry off)
(It was then that the word "Sarah" seemed to resound in Ki-Jung's ears!)
Ki-Jung: Wait... Sarah?! You mean Sarah? (He said interrupting Do-Yun)
Do-Yun: (Stops midway) Yes? What about her? (He said raising an eyebrow)
(Ki-Jung was uncertain whether to tell him or not or not. What would the King and Queen get to think of him, if they found out that he leaked their secret to Do-Yun; he was meant to be kept in the black! But worse still , they'd be angrier to know that he actually eavesdropped on a private discussion! He was still contemplating on the whole thing when Do-Yun jolted him back to his senses this time)
Ki-Jung: (Before he knew it, Do-Yun was already grabbing him by the collar! He had always known his Master to be very impatient) Sarah was here earlier on, and the King forbade her from seeing you ever again...
(And without any more word, Do-Yun stormed out)
