Byul and her father went to their own family villa after sometime. Since they were not much schedule that day and other member families weren't present, they decide to have a short walk around and call off the day.

Next day they had a tight schedule, since first things they had to do is to visit ancestor tomb they quickly dressed up in a traditional wear and without any breakfast they went to grave.

It was an ancient grave of a Stanchion family which was located at the up in a hill. There was a driveway that led up which was made for Stanchion Family. The Stanchion Family had also built an ancestral temple which faced the sea. The ancestral temple certainly had a beautiful location, with the mountain behind it and facing the sea.

The ancestral temple was usually locked. Many people often visited the mountain and since it was an ancient temple and grave, it often attracted the tourists' attention. Therefore, the Stanchion family had hired guards to watch over. Apart from opening the gates during cleaning, the temple would only be opened to offer sacrifice for their ancestors.

At this moment, someone opened the gates for the them to enter. According to superiority of the family, Lee Sung-ho and Kang Jae-Hyun entered first followed by Lee Byul and Kang Hana.

Once they entered the ancestral hall, elders from all family were stood at the forefront while others stood behind them.

The long table before them was full of sacrificial offerings, food, fruits and wine were placed.

Each of them lit up a joss stick and prayed before the ancestral tablet on the table. When Hana lifted her head, she could see that the ancestral tablet had all family ancestor's name on it.

Just then, one of the head of family started speaking, "Ancestors, It's your lineages first here, please have a look at them and give them your blessings." With that everyone bows down in front of ancestral tablet.

Now that offerings were presented, it was time for them to leave, the mood was little bit solemn and sorrowful, as she looked around she notices few elders were watching the gatekeeper locked the gates. Heaved a heavy sigh before getting into the car.

As they reached the Mansion everyone went to the Edenic garden where breakfast was being serverd. There were two separated table make ready, one for the elders and other for children of family. Hana and Byul seated on designated table as others were entering. When all of the seat were pack Hana notices a lots of familiar faces, since according to family rule no one can talk uselessly on table they have their breakfast quietly.

Since elders weren't done with breakfast, they can't just walk out so in their table everyone started the chat.

"Wahh Hyung do you know my sister?" Jungkook asked amusedly.

"Byul is also here." Hoseok says with a huge smile in his face.
