Miwon parked her car by the Han River, a place filled with bittersweet memories of her first encounter with Sunghoon. Almost every night, she found herself there, hoping for a chance to meet him again like the first time he did, to relive the moments they once shared.

As she sat at the bench nearby, Miwon closed her eyes, reminiscing about the beautiful memories they had created together. She couldn't forget those moments, but she also wished she could move on. Deep down, she believed that Sunghoon still loved her, even if it was just a tiny sliver of affection.

"Take this," he said while showing a handkerchief to her. Miwon, taken aback by the unexpected kindness, but manage to accepted the handkerchief with gratitude.

I hope you have better days," he said gently. Miwon smiled and nodded in response. "Thank you for your words. I just needed to let out my sadness," she confessed.

But Jay's eyes remained fixed on Miwon, and Mr. Kim couldn't help but notice. "She's my niece. What's the matter? Do you find her pretty?" Mr. Kim asked to tease him. Jay was taken aback by the revelation. "You never told me you had such a beautiful niece," Jay replied, slightly surprised.

"Well, you never asked. But too bad for you, she already has a boyfriend. I almost wanted to introduce you to her," Mr. Kim chuckled. Jay smiled fade, knowing he was a little too late. Mr. Kim patted Jay's shoulder before leaving him to his thoughts.

Sunghoon wore the same suit that Miwon had given him that day. "Let's go eat then," Mr. Kim invited both of them to join and left them to talk with his friend. After her uncle left, Sunghoon's face became serious again, and he let go of her hand. "I thought you didn't want to come," Miwon said.

"Please don't think that I caught feelings for you. I just helped you to avoid embarrassment, like your father did for me that day," Sunghoon said. Sunghoon then left her to go somewhere far away from the crowd. Miwon just followed behind him. He stopped, and Miwon almost bumped into him.

"You can take this suit now," he said, as Sunghoon take off the suit, leaving only the white shirt he was wearing. "This is the gift I gave you," Miwon replied in confused. "These aren't gifts anymore. The more I keep this, the more traumatized I become," Sunghoon threw away the suit in front of her face, but she managed to catch it before it fell.

"Don't meet me again," Sunghoon said as he walked away, leaving her alone. "I thought they were a couple," Jay mumbled, he's eavedropping Miwon and Sunghoon's conversation from behind the wall.
