Luhan doesn't even move from his spot after Yoojin leaves him there alone. He just stares blankly at where she disappears. He knows it's stupid to think that somehow she would change her mind and come up infront of his eyes. Still, when the reality strikes and he finds there is no her, he breaks down but hides it. He holds his self together and walks to his car. Once he already sits on the driver seat and closes the door, he grips the steering wheel and lets out a loud sigh. Soon enough, he already buries his face there and curses quietly. He witnesses his own world crumble, he wants to do anything to prevent the collapse but sadly he can do nothing about it. So there he is, sitting silently and seeing his everything begin to vanish one by one.

In the other hand, Yoojin decides to close her clinic early since she is not in a good mood today. After she locks the clinic, she looks around and there is no Luhan trace anywhere. She feels relieve about it. After she smiles at Mrs. Jung and says goodbye, immediately she gets in to her car and buckles up. She is ready to go but suddenly, after she is alone inside her car, the emptiness slowly creeps and mercilessly crushes her heart. This is suffocating and she is having a hard time to catch her own breath. Later, without her realization, tears start brimming and the next second already streaming down her face. She cries it out, her disappointment and sorrow, into her tears. She wants to wreak it all and has no plan to hold back. Right now, she willingly breaks into pieces.

Yoojin is so heartbroken and she finds it hard to calm herself down. She fails a couple of time and breaks into tears over and over again. But after hours, she eventually is able to collect herself. She then drives away from her clinic to wherever her car takes her. When the sky turns into dusk and the nightfall slowly peeks, she stops the cars and feels taken aback when she realizes where these past hours of driving takes her. As soon as she steps out from car, the familiar Busan's wave and breeze welcome her. She doesn't know how she ends up here, but this explains one thing, though she is mad and upset with Luhan, a little part of her heart is still missing him.

Yoojin sits down on the sand, hugging her knees close to her chest and resting her head there. She closes her eyes and a pitch black dark emerges. Soon it turns into a flash of memories that sweet at that time, but bitter at this moment. Unconsciously, she recalls everything. Here is where they begin their love. Here is where they share their love for the first time. She sighs and tries to erase him from mind, but fucks up right away. For God's sake, she really hates herself who keeps thinking about Luhan though he is the one who causes her heart to shatter like this. She is aware that she is stupid in love with him, but she never knows that she could be stupid to this extend.

Luhan looks straight to the screen as he watches Yoojin sit on the same spot where they had that night. Earlier, he tracked her car down through CCTV and saw her car got away to a highway. He kept his eyes on her as he felt worry about her. When her car turned to a road which led to Busan, he questioned 'perhaps?' and the answer came as she stopped her car there, at the place where they visited together. He never expects it but he wants to thank her because she didn't come to some dangerous place, like what he had been imagined all the time.

It hurts him a lot when he sees her there, hugging her knees and looking so fragile. He wants to run there and gives her embrace but he knows he shouldn't. He doesn't know what to do to make all of this better. He thought he could hide this secret much longer and spend some more time together with her, but now reality speaks otherwise. He is devastated by the whole situation. He is not able to solve this alone. He needs advice and the only name that appears on his mind is Kris. He dials Kris' number and right away Kris responds to his call.

"I need your help, Yoojin starts finding out the truth"

Luhan speaks without waiting Kris to greet him from across. He sounds desperate and it makes Kris sigh lowly and asks him to tell everything. Kris says nothing during the story as he pays attention to Luhan's words and listens to Luhan's voice. Kris hears Luhan's voice crack several times and it makes him feel Luhan's misery.

"What should I do? I'm terribly confused" Luhan sighs in the end of his talk.

"Listen man, there is no better thing to do rather than tell her the truth" Kris spills it, he doesn't know why but these days, his friend becomes a coward by choosing to hide it from Yoojin. The Luhan he knows always brave his problem, not running away like a little kid.

"But it's too late" Luhan nearly gives up.

"Yes, you're right, it's truly late, but it's still better than saying and doing nothing, like what you do right now" Kris snaps.

It's just like a slap on Luhan's face, his friend is right. Regardless of the ending, he needs to tell her the truth. Though he will break and crush her with this, he still hopes that she will give one more chance and let him fix everything. If not, he has to take the responsibilities like a gentleman and be ready to lose everything right under his nose.

Yoojin arrives at Seoul when the sun rises and shines brightly on the sky. Last night she decided to send a text to her mother and tell her to not worry because she wanted to have some time alone. She turned her phone right after that and isolated herself. She got no sleep and just kept thinking about her life all night long. Right now she feels exhausted, her body, her mind and also her heart. It's just like an extreme roller coaster ride.

Before she returns to her house, she pulls in to a coffee shop and orders for some caffeine. She stands there as she waits for her coffee when suddenly she hears someone clear throat. She turns her face and regrets it immediately. She sees someone who she hates the most in this world, her uncle, Doctor Lee. She admits, she really wants to punch him because eventhough she just looks at his face, she feels disgusted. She takes a deep breath and chooses to ignore him. In the other hand, Doctor Lee knows she ignore him and it annoys him. At first he just wants to have some coffee but surprisingly he meets her here and there is no better time than now to take a revenge and make her suffer once again.

"Yoojin-ah, long time no see" Doctor Lee talks but Yoojin keeps in silent.

"Yah, your uncle talk to you right now, you should answer" He continues.

This time Yoojin turns to see him and gives him a glare. She is so sick of him acting like this. If he opens up his mouth once again, she definitely will lose her patience, but thankfully her coffee is ready and without any words she leaves her uncle there.

For a while she escapes from her uncle but soon she hears his steps right behind her back. It's so annoying and she knows she will explode soon enough. So, there, when her uncle catches her wrist and stops her, she turns around and splashes her freshly brewed coffee to his face. He shouts loudly and swears at her. He totally is mad, he grabs her wrist again and this time he grips it really hard, causing her a pain.

"Let me go!" Yoojin screams.

Doctor Lee is out of his mind right now, he is too mad to think clearly and he carelessly attacks Yoojin in public. He strangles her neck, making her gasp for air. People start crowding them and some already step in to help, but no one really takes an action.

"Let her go!"

From afar, Luhan shouts as he walks fast to the crowd. He appears infront of Doctor Lee, looking so furious. He just stands there and stares at Doctor Lee but it intimidates Doctor Lee a lot and willingly he lets Yoojin go. She coughs a couple of times when she feels Luhan's hand around her waist, pulling her closer protectively.

"Don't touch my girl, I warn you before" Luhan speaks in his deep cold tone.

"Mr. Lu, I---"

"I don't want to hear a thing, tell it to police" Luhan says it under his gritted teeth.

Thereafter, Luhan leads Yoojin walk away from Doctor Lee and the crowd. He takes out his phone and calls the police. Earlier, he really meant his word and it wasn't just a nonsense threat. He then talks to the police and reports Doctor Lee's assault to Yoojin.

When he ends the call, he suddenly feels a push from Yoojin and it makes him give his full attention to her. He looks at her and she gives him a stern gaze. Minutes ago, she forgets everything and lets herself melt for his soft touch, but now she remembers about her tantrum and becomes cold again.

"Don't touch me" Yoojin talks.

"Hey---" Luhan pauses as he takes her hand which she avoids right away "---I came here to explain anything" He continues. It makes her halt and stares at his eyes "Please, let me explain, hm?" He asks as he starts caressing her shoulder. She doesn't avoid his touch this time, she melts because of his touch, it feels sweet and right.

"Let's talk privately" Luhan speaks again because she doesn't respond.

Luhan brings Yoojin to his car and once they close the door, he lets out a sigh. He doesn't know where to begin so he just sits there as he stares at her. She looks beautiful as usual yet weak and it makes his heart clench.

"Baby" Luhan starts as he touches her hand just to hold it tightly.

"Look at me" He continues as he lifts her chin up, making their eyes meet. Both see pain in others eyes and it's hurtful honestly speaking.

"I never mean to hurt you, but I end up hurting you, and I'm so sorry for that" He caress her cheek with his thumb. It's sweet but why it's suffocating for her?

"Yoojin---" He calls her name but pauses immediately because his voice begins to crack. He has some time to calm himself down before he continues "---my father was involved in your family deaths" There, he bites his lips, trying to hold not only his tears but also his anger.

The truth is a nightmare. Yoojin hears it but it feels surreal. She just looks at him, confused at first but it develops into a great pain when Luhan continues to explain. All this time, she was right with her guess. It was all her evil uncle's plan and he had someone behind his back, but then why? Why it was a father of someone she loves the most? Why it must be Luhan's father?

"Baby, please, I'm so sorry"

Luhan witness how Yoojin's world crashes slowly. There is emptiness in her eyes but in a blink it turns into pain and sorrow. She doesn't shed tears, but her silence becomes her loudest cry. She keeps saying nothing and she gives no reaction to him. He better sees her cry or rage uncontrollably rather than watches her dying inside alone, not allowing him to help or comfort her.

"Say something" Luhan pleads.

"Yoojin-ah, please, talk to me" He desperately begs to her.

Yoojin doesn't respond. She just closes her eyes and says nothing. She actually feels like crying but there is no tears and she doesn't know where all her tears gone. This reality poisons her like venom, lethally hurts her and eventually breaks her apart.

"Hey, baby, I love you, please say something"

Again, Luhan repeats himself, hoping she would do it. He touches her jaw and cups her face gently. That moment, she opens her eyes and emptily gazes at his eyes. No word, she holds his hands and drags them down just to let them go in the end. The rejection makes his heart hurt but the next thing she does makes his heart stops. She opens the door, she steps out of his car, trying to leave him. He instinctively grabs her wrist and stops her.

"Don't leave me" He whispers. She faces him and frowns slightly at him before finally speaks up "I want to be alone, please understand me" With that, he lets her go though he is not sure will she return or gone forever.
