After receiving his nephews' memories, Choi Han could see the remnants of Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk in Cale. The way he walked, which was reminiscent of Lee Soo Hyuk, and the way he acted, which mirrored Choi Jung Soo, made it clear that Cale was still searching for them. Even when lost in thought, it was evident how both of them had influenced Cale, or Kim Rok Soo's, perception of the world. Choi Han vividly remembered the despair on Kim Rok Soo's face as he desperately clung to Choi Jung Soo in his final moments.
During the sealed gods' test, Choi Han witnessed the immense love that Kim Rok Soo held for them. He tried not to overwhelm the others, but he couldn't help but act as they used to before. He could see the way Kim Rok Soo gazed at them, as if trying to etch their image into his mind. Even while struggling to survive, Cale, or Kim Rok Soo, always found time to look at them as if they might disappear. Choi Han could see the depth of his liege's love for those two, it was so clear.
When they eventually found both Lee Soo Hyuk and Choi Jung Soo, Choi Han was overjoyed. His liege was ecstatic to be reunited with them. When all three were together, one could see how Cale's body language fit perfectly, like a puzzle piece. Choi Han realized that even after their deaths, Cale still carried those moments in his body, as if they were still with him. Years couldn't erase the way his liege's love for them was reflected in his body language. He was truly happy for them.
