The next morning, Byunghun went and checked up on Soyeon. "How's Imo?" "She's recovering pretty fast!" Soyeon beamed. "Jinjja? That's good.." Byunghun said and forced a smile on his face. Both of them strolled the streets and went to get brunch together. Soyeon also went window shopping. Afterwards at 1, they decided to go home. And of course, Byunghun was going to walk her home. They walked along a concrete bridge overlooking a river and Soyeon's feet skid to a halt. Byunghun quickly noticed and turned back. "What's wrong?" Soyeon said nothing and just hung her head down, looking at her reflection in the water. "Soyeon-ah." "You can stop now.." She said with a low voice. Byunghun was taken aback. "Huh? Mwo-" She slowly looked up with a sad smile. "I'm to blame for everything. You can stop now oppa." Byunghun furrowed his eyebrows. "I-I don't understand. What are you talking about Soyeon?"

"I don't want both of us to live with this guilt anymore." He shook his head. "No.. I can't forgive myself. I can never do that. I.. Have been using you these past 5 months. Mianhae.." Soyeon glanced at Byunghun for a second and smiled weakly. "That applies to the both of us. That you were with me to atone your sins.. I knew it all." Byunghun hid his eyes with one of his hands. "Ahh. Why.. After all this time.. Such.." Soyeon pressed her lips into a thin line. "You're not at fault. You're straightforward. You're too good for me. These are my words to you.
