Donghae watches his grown kids chase each other on the sand dunes. They were laughing, and pushing each other to the receding waves. Hyukjin trips, and Dongwan helps him meet the water by pushing his back. Eunhae bursts out laughing, throwing her head back and cackling like there's no tomorrow. Jihwan lifts Eunhae to his shoulder and spins her around.
