One may assume a 19-year-old boy gained’t have the ability to maintain a suicidal lady affected by different psychological points by himself. To not point out taking care of So-hui and attending faculty. However I suppose the plot wants San-ha to go away for now.

On the day of the boys’ departure, Ju-won hides away, unable to say goodbye, but cries her eyes out when she is alone with Dad Yoon, who feels as devastated if no more. Earlier than Ju-won, Dad Yoon holds it in and pretends to be high-quality.

All the things goes effectively aside from a weirdo lurking across the retailer. When caught, the weirdo slaps Ju-won on the face whereas attempting to run away. However our lady drags him to the police, the place we study that the weirdo is none apart from Hae-joon.

A reunion on the police station is one thing that by no means crossed anybody’s thoughts, particularly the half involving Ju-won insisting on urgent expenses since Hae-joon is a virtually stranger to her. Truly, Hae-joon isn’t the one one returning. Quickly, San-ha, who has simply arrived on the town, catches up with them on the station, useless nervous about Ju-won after recognizing the mess within the retailer.

Throughout this reunion, we study that Hae-joon didn’t graduate from faculty and stop basketball. However the stunning half was that he got here again to Korea some time in the past and even served within the navy. It has been every week since Hae-joon bought discharged, but he couldn’t face anybody and saved lurking round Dad Yoon’s restaurant and Ju-won’s retailer. Whereas San-ha graduated from medication college and is now a third-year resident, specializing in orthopedic surgical procedure.

Anyway, the boys head residence with the dads whereas Ju-won goes to the shop to scrub up the mess. However it’s only an excuse to keep away from assembly Hae-joon and San-ha. You see, it isn’t like Ju-won has by no means imagined the day our boys will come again residence. However seeing them in particular person, they appear like strangers to her, and he or she doesn’t know the way to act round them.

Although she vowed to not rejoice her birthday with the boys, Ju-won exhibits up on the birthday celebration the household threw for her. After blowing out the candles, Ju-won confronts the boys about returning too late, beginning with Hae-joon. Why did he get out of contact 5 years in the past?

Having discovered the reality, everybody will get shocked, particularly Dad Yoon, who will get devastated and may’t cease his tears from falling.

Giving Dad Yoon some area, our trio takes off to the playground the place Ju-won shares that their lack of honesty and the way the boys preserve her at nighttime is the true drawback. And I don’t blame her for it. If it weren’t for San-ha blurting out the reality, everybody would nonetheless be oblivious to the very fact Hae-joon bought damage. Nevertheless it seems to be like San-ha has no plans to come back clear about the true motive he couldn’t come again, since when requested about it, San-ha claimed he was too busy to return whereas leaving the essential particulars out.

It isn’t like San-ha didn’t wish to come again, however it’s his poisonous mom who held him again all this time. They even had a struggle the place she bought San-ha’s arms scratched whereas San-ha was packing up, since she didn’t need him to depart. What a loopy lady!
