The three soon find out that there are candle-shaped boxes everywhere that contain a lot of things including candles and matchsticks. They soon spot one and rush there to find a box with an animal-shaped candle. After changing the candle, they start looking around while staring in wonder at the place they have been taken to.
They soon find another box but right then the candle blows out and now they are given 60 seconds to relight the flame. They find more boxes with candles, matchsticks and one even with some red chilli paste. Soon they arrive at a place with a heater and decide to take a break for a while.
But with the three together, something is bound to go wrong; when they decide to switch off one of the two candles that they have lit, Jae-suk and Kwang-soo show their partnership by blowing out both the candles. After a series of bad timings, they finally light it up again and get moving from there.
The trio soon find a cart and take it towards the cafe they had seen on the map earlier. They take a short Ramyeon break but this is one thing that always ends up as a disaster for Jae-suk as he blows off the candle while blowing on his noodles. The members can’t hide their frustration and they start attacking him, but not before lighting up the candle again.
They soon leave their safe zone and go around looking for more candles to keep the flame alive for 4 hours, but while looking for more boxes, Jae-suk suddenly asks for a washroom break. The two can’t hold back their disbelief and are left with no choice but to look around for a washroom.
