Originally in the novel, Lee Yeon does not come out to greet Gyubaek and Chaewoo.
In the afternoon Lee Yeon is seen drinking some tea while looking out the window. Chaewoo is outside doing push ups shirtless and she is checking him out.
Gyubaek jumpscares her as he catches her eyeing the “male” and begins to lecture and compare her to peacocks. He tells Lee Yeon that she is a very picky peacock but Lee Yeon being flustered shoves a cookie into Gyubaeks mouth which he happily eats
Lee Yeon begins to “mother” him by checking for any dirt on his ears/hair as Gyubaek continues to look through his encyclopedia.
Gyubaek anxiously warns Lee Yeon, he explains the heat cycle for male elephants and how ferocious they can be. He tells her that she should be careful around the “male”.
Quoting the novel:
Why is he so interested in Kwon Chae-woo?
“When elephants are ready to love—”
Kwon Chae-woo seemed to be done with his workout, he entered through the door. Lee-yeon shoved another cookie into Gyu-baek’s mouth to shut him up.
They become blinded by love.
Was what the child was about to say if not for the piece of sweet lodged between his mouth.
