OPENING
Makjang music plays as Suzi hops in her car and revs her engine to hit TH and SH, but she screeches it to a halt. TH and SH turn around to look at her. SH lets out a deep breath as he realizes what SZ was about to do. TH tells SH that she is the one that will be the most surprised, let’s go.
SZ is left surprised at her actions and cries in the car.
TH and SH ride in SH’s car. He asks her if she is okay. She asks him to stop the car for little bit. TH gets out of the car and walks to the side of the road. She cries from the frustration of it all. SH gets out of the car as well, but he doesn’t go to TH’s side.
CLUBHOUSE
Meanwhile, SJ cleans up the clubhouse. He calls SZ and asks her to come over, he can’t do it all alone. But he hears her crying and asks what is wrong. She says she is really all done. He tells her that he will be there, don’t leave. SZ pulls over and cries as her car is at the side of the road.
TH goes to her friend KJ’s house and says that she wants to tell someone what happened. KJ yells, how can they do this to you! TH wonders how she can say it, SH is hurt because of SZ. KJ wants her to make them hurt, she got hurt, she should just cry on SH. TH doesn’t want to do that though. She thinks SH wouldn’t have known any of this is SH never met her, what should I do? They both hug and cry. TH asks KJ when will things become better? When will it be nothing? If I know when, then I can endure, but I don’t know when, so that is why I can’t stand it.
SJ gets to SZ’s car and tells her to open the door. He asks her what happened. He wants to go home. He asks her if she wants to go to the hospital. But SZ doesn’t’ want anything, she doesn’t want to go home, she doesn’t want to see Mom, she doesn’t want anything, she just wants to disappear from the world. SJ takes her back to their clubhouse. She tells him that he was right, SH is gone, they can’t go back anymore. She asks SJ if he will also let her go. He won’t.

Later on, SZ wakes up SJ asks her if she can’t sleep. She wonders if it will be lonely if it is only the two of them. Flashback to SH and SZ’s almost kiss in high school. He saw it, but he left before seeing that they didn’t actually kiss. SJ says that sometimes they were lonely even though they were all together. He will at least make her less lonely than the moment they were lonely when the three of them were together. She thanks him.
SI HYUN
Across town, SH is looking at college brochures for 2018. But he thinks that nothing is easy. He starts playing the recording of MR and GS that SZ recorded. He listens to it intently. This also gives him a flashback with his secretary. It basically is that greed will cause trouble. SH calls MR and asks her if he can see her at the hospital. She is on break so he says he will go to her place.
They meet at MR’s house. SH asks if SZ went to school. MR asks why he wants to see him. He says he will jsut ask her straight, why did you lie to me, the hit and run, you told me it was my mom. You told Mom to go see YW, I was right. You told my mom to go there. I thought you were a good person, I tried to accept you becaues of my father and you knew my mother well and told her to go there, but it had another intention, why did you do that? Did you want my mother and father to get divorced?
MR says that she knew that his father was going to see YW and she told his mother that because she was concerned. She shouldn’t have done that and she is sorry. But her mother shouldnt’ have gone there, she worried about her and she followed her. SH says that is when she hit TH, she should stop here if she has any concious, he won’t tell SZ or appa, SZ will have a hard time. But SZ overheard the entire thing and hides.
She thinks back to TH and her converstation. TH told her, if she knew the truth then she wouldn’t tell it to her like that. SZ falls to the floor and cries, but she covers her mouth with her hands so no one will hear it. Her mother takes several drugs. SZ goes intot he room with her mother and asks her if she is going to work, do you still feel bad? MR asks her daughter if she slept outside? SZ says she went to the opera and practiced, take a break, rest. SZ leaves.

SH sees a birth certificate with his grandmother, it says that he is 98% true that SH is his son. She doesn’t know why SH heard that. SH thinks, perhaps his mother did it to hurt appa. Grandmother wants SH to go to the US with her. He says okay, but he needs to wrap up some things first. he wants to settle things. Grandmother says okay. SH leaves and goes outside. He asks his mother what he should do first. College? He gets a silent response and smiles.
SH sneaks into TH’s college and follows her to class. He watches her sit at her desk from a distance. She gives a presentation to the class about the train station. SH walks into the classroom and sits down, TH notices him and stops for a moment. But she starts back up right away. SH watches the presentation and thinks back to the time they spent at the train station. The presentation ends, everyone claps, SH leaves. TH goes and sits back at her desk. SH wrote “come back home” on her desk.
Afterward, TH eats alone. SH sits next to her and says that the food at school tastes so good! But don’t you miss my home cooked meal? Pasta? Ramen? Eggs? She asks how his father is. He says he has a date for the surgery. She hopes he gets better. But that is all she has to say and leaves. SH follows her. He goes to the library and puts his jacket on her. He asks her if she is cold? These are warm clothes from home, this school is great, i can get in with my public ID.
TH ignores him and he keeps following her around. TH tries to get a book from the shelf, but she is too short so SH gets it. She asks him why he is doing this. he keeps following her around. She looks annoyed and confronts him> How long will he follow her? How long is he going to do this? Tell me what you need? (partly flashback). TH and SH talk. SH tells TH to go home.

VO – I think of you in the morning, that you are close to me. One day, when I wake up, you will be far away. One day I will think that I lied to you. If that comes, hopefully I will smile and wish for it everyday.

SJ comes over to SH’s home. He tells him that he closed their clubhouse. He wants to know if he is coming back to SZ. When SZ talked about SH, she was alive. But sometimes when she talked about you, she was sad. You should like SZ, when SZ hates you then you should talk to TH. SH says he left their place, he should take care of SZ. SJ basically says he tries to, but he can’t. he is the only one protecting the three of them, just go back to SZ. SH apologizes and says that he can’t, sorry. SJ says that he is sorry too.
SJ leaves in a huff. He gets in his car and stares out the window.
TH sits at her desk and puts the flower halo on her head. She gets a phone call from an unknown number. She answers it and it is SJ. He wants to talk to her about SH, he is there, can she come down?
Why?
SJ says they fought and he wants her to help them get back together.
TH goes down, he says it is nice to see her again. Th says she wants to hear everything from SH. SJ says that SH lied to her. She wants to hear it from SH. SJ keeps talking and says that she can listen to SH’s lies or she can see their evidence. Upstairs, SH wonders if TH is sleeping.
SJ takes TH to the secret clubhouse and asks her if she wants to come in. She says no. He asks, really? He goes to the door and opens it, then he looks back at TH. She walks inside. Th looks around, SJ says this is their secret place, their broken nest. He tells her to have a seat.
TH sits.
SJ puts the bulletin board in front of her and shows her that this is how she came into their lives. She wonders what it is. He plays her the video that they made of SJ and SH talking about how this is the big plan and how TH is a good girl and all the bad things they said about her. Like how he should give her a lot of coincidences so that she will think it is fate because she wants to believe those things. SH says he won’t like her, she is not his style. SZ will hate this, why do you still meet Th? Do you have a secret?
This video is edited to show all the times they talked about TH.
TH thinks back to SH running into her on the bus.
