"Are you wondering what these are for?"
A voice forces LaNi to snap out of his thoughts, while staring at that stand at the fair, after AeHee moved. He looks at who spoke and his eyes crosses those of MinHo, who is staring at him. He jumps and takes a step to the side.
"The roots, I mean", says the other, kindly.
"Aniyo, I just... had some thoughts, it was not related to the items on this stand." He bows his head and aims to walk away.
"Wait." MinHo gets on his side. "Walk with me."
LaNi's eyes widen at the proposal, he sends a glance to AeHee, busy talking with the others, and eventually accepts, although reclutantly. "Ye, naeuri..."
MinHo pats his shoulder, gently. "Don't worry, I'm not some ill-intentioned person. My name is Huang MinHo, and... I really feel we should talk."
"May I ask... why?" The fact it's his uncle gives him mixed thoughts. He never got to meet him, in the future, but he knows he was very dear to his father.

As they have made some distance from the crowd of people, MinHo stops and finally looks at LaNi again. "Do you come from another world? Or... maybe, could it be that you come from the future?"
His eyes widen in shock at the last question. It totally freezes him. "H... how..."
"Don't be alarmed. I know of other people who have come from the future. Your secret is safe with me. But I need to know."
LaNi shuts his eyes and takes a deep breath. "I-I... do come from the future..." he murmurs in a very faint tone. "How did you guess...?"
"I've noticed you, by case, several times around in the village. I think that such close similarity could only mean that you either come from another world or... that you are him, himself, but from a different time. Is it so? QinShi-ya?" NinHo gives him a soft smile.
His heart skips a beat. For a moment he doesn't know what to do, if he should lie or say the truth. But what good could it bring to lie to him about it? "Actually I..." He looks down. "I am not QinShi. My name is LaNi... Huang LaNi... QinShi Is... my abeoji..."
MinHo looks surprised and amused by the information. "His son..." He smiles widely at him. "Do you know who I am?"
"Ye... uncle..."
The other smiles widely. "Now that I know about you, you won't have to worry about anything. We'll talk again and then I'll make sure your life here will be the easiest possible."
