OPENING
VO – I am the only one that makes you sad. You come to me and give me this big joy, but I am someone that finally makes you cry. Eventually I will make you cry the most.

SH – That is why I couldn’t hold you and decided to wait for you.
SH tears up as he watches TH walk away. Then he turns and walks away himself.
TH goes to her apartment and finds the tiny airplane. She packs up all her things and reads the note in the hallway.
Note: I will wait for you.
SH watches TH walking out from his Door TV. He touches the TV and bows his head as she looks at his door and leaves. Later he thinks back to her hearing his voice on the bench outside. He sits on that bench and says that he is also going crazy. He can hear her voice continuously. He lays on the bench and says, I miss you Eun Tae-hee.

She was worried about her, what happened? Are you mad at me? TH asks her if she remembered their conversation before, she said she didnt’ have a boyfriend, she just worked, but she has someone now, you can tell me, it isnt’ surprising now. I turned off the phone on purpose so i wouldn’t get your phone call.
Umma tells TH that she can be mad at her, but what happened? TH tells her that she is always having a hard time becaues of her. Appa and her wouldn’t have a hard time if it wasn’t for her. The guy she couldnt’ forget, and gave her and appa a hard time, well that is my boyfriends father, so why can’t you just leave and stop blocking my life.

(This is when he was crying in his hospital room and TH showed up).
TH asks, is that why you were crying? How did you know it that day? SH says his mothers car didn’t ahve any record of an accident. He asked the police and the police confirmed it. He aslo asked MR about it and she said that it was his mother, they just hoped the girl was okay. But he apologizes for making her think of all those bad things. She says its fine because time passed. She xcuses herself and tells him to take care of his appa.
But then TH thinks of something and doesnt’ leave. She sits on the couch instead and thinks back to what SH said. “We wish that girl is okay” TH thinks that MR shouldn’t know who SH’s mother hit, maybe she was at the site? TH calls her Emo and asks her about it. Emo tells her that TH asked her if Ajumma was okay and went to the hospital. Your mother thought you didnt’ reconize your own mothers face.

SJ AT THE CLUBHOUSE
SJ walks through his clubhouse and says it is an empty nest. He thinks back to happier times when he first introduced his friends to the place.
He covered their eyes as they walked in and welcomed them to his vacation home. They were in high school when he introduced them to it. SZ and SH loved it. There is one rule, no one comes here, whatever happens, they will come there and they will spend their 60th birthday party there. SJ says that his mother gave it to him just in case his father kicked him out of the house. No studying there either.
SJ looks sad as he thinks about al those memories and sighs.
SZ AT HOME
SZ practices her cello and looks at her phone’s voicemail. She listens to the recording she made earlier. Grandmother says that MR needs to be careful of her daughter, they do not accept people spreading rumors. SZ thinks the Grandmother is too much, her mother is doing everything for their family and yet they think she talks too much?
SZ calls SH and asks him what she would do for his Halmoni to like her. SZ isn’t in a good mood to talk. SZ says she also isn’t in a good mood to talk, but she recorded it. She isnt’ my Grandmother, but she is your real grandmother. SZ wants to be treated like a human in JK Group, she changed her plan. SZ tells him to listen to the recording. She sends it as a voicemail recording.
SH is still at the hospital.
TH is also still there. She is about to leave but sees a person have a heart attack. This triggers her memory. MR comes up and starts to check over the patient. TH thinks back to someone checking over her as she laid on the side of the road, but then that person took off.
TH look at MR, shocked. MR asks her what is going on, why is she there. TH grabs her arm and says that she saw her in the countryside, why didn’t she come back? MR takes TH to a private room and says that she doens’t know what she is talking about. Th wants to know why MR was so surprised when she grabbed her. She had a car accident two years ago, she thinks the accuser isn’t the accuser. She tried to save someone that day and got into a car accident.
Flashback to SH’s Umma driving and hitting something suddenly. This surprises her and her heart starts palpitating. Someone calls the woman. TH walks up on this scene and sees the woman slumped over the steering wheel. She rolls the window down. The woman says she thinks she had an accident. TH checks the car and doesnt’ see any signs of an accident. TH tells her to wait and she will call 911 to bring people there. But the woman holds TH’s arm. TH takes off her jacket and puts it on the women.
TH – Then I ran and someone hit me. You know as a doctor, people usually forget what kind of car hit them. But now I felt a similar feeling at the school when I saw SZ’s car. And what you just did to the patient. Why didn’t you come back to me? It was you! The hit and run! You said you were busy and you would come back right away, you told me to wait, but i was scared and hurt and there weren’t any cars. I tried to go back just in case someone didn’t find me, it was so scary. I trusted what you said, it was scary but you told me you would come back.
MR stands and looks around.
MR – No, you are mistaken, I never whent there.
TH – You should have come back to me, because of that, I couldnt’ walk or go to school to get treatment
MR- Back then, I couldn’t help. I went to rescue the same person after that person died, I forgot. When I came back later, you weren’t there.
TH – No that is all an excuse, that patient is SH’s mom? So you also lied to me! You said SH’s mother was the hit and run, how can you do that to me? Didn’t you think about how SH felt
MR – I went there to save his mother, she had a heart condition but seh went out without consultation, it was an emergeny. The reason I told that to SH, I dont think you would understand, but I thought that was the best way to tell SH. I had a secret reason i couldnt’ tell him why she went there.
TH – We all know that SH’s mother went there to see my mother.
TH tells her that all the things hse says are nonsense. Just accept what you did wrong. MR repeats that they tried to save the same person. What do you want, I can pay you whatever. Th jsut wants her to accept what seh did.
TH knows that she won’t get prosecuted and will get out of it, but if you apologie to me, then at least I will feel better. Just apologize and it will releave SH from his guiltiness and I won’t call the police.
TH leaves.

TH – My mother started everything, if I knew it in advanve then it would be better
SH – nothing is your fault
TH – I know it isn’t my fault, but it makes me mad that our hard life
