"Ahjussi, what are you doing?" Sungyoon is shocked to see it.

"You're not alone in this battle, Sungyoon. You're like my son, and I'll do anything for my son" Bomin's father says while shaving his hair completely, as a sign of support for Sungyoon battling cancer. Sungyoon's tears spontaneously flows. He has been blessed and loved by the family. Bomin and his mother hug Sungyoon straightaway.

"Hyung, no matter what, you're my brother. You're a 'Choi' too, right?" Bomin says while hugging Sungyoon. Sungyoon giggles. He cries in happiness.

Jibeom's storytelling
Around 1pm, all Serendipity members has finally arrived to South Korea after 13 hours of flight. Finally, they are in their own homeland. They are having a bit jet lag since the time zone is changing drastically.

"Serendipity, I thank you all for the commitment you have for all of these time. Thank you so much for your good cooperation within this projects. I can finally say that Serendipity program is now unofficially ended. You'll not be having any activities anymore rather than for tomorrow's final choice day.  Please be aware of that.

As a representative for Master and all Serendipity staffs, thank you so much for trusting us to provide the best service for you. We wish you all good luck, not only for the final choice tomorrow, but for your future endeavours too. I think, we all can bid farewell now" one of the staffs of Serendipity says. All Serendipity members are thanking the staffs for the almost 30 days of their services. All Serendipity members are hugging with staffs, as well as each other and they are even exchanging their phone numbers among members, in case they are going to part ways after this, they can still contact each other.

After that, they are having lunch with each other before they are going part way with each other. While having lunch together, they are all reminiscing their first moment together until today.

"I can't believe that we're saying goodbye to each other from this project.." Jaehyun says.

"Ahh... I was hoping that today and tomorrow will never come" Hanni says.

"It makes me sad.." Aya says.

"I had fun to the fullest throughout this project.. thank you so much, everyone.." Donghyun says.

"Guys, please come to my cafe next month for the grand opening! We shall reunite again at my cafe! It's all on me!" Joochan says.

"Really?!" Leia asks. Joochan nods enthusiastically.

"We should have a visit!" Jaehyun says. They are all talking enthusiastically about Joochan's cafe and reunion they are going to make while Jibeom and Chaerin? They are all looking pretty downcasts.

"Jibeom, Chaerin.. are you okay?" Leia asks. Both Jibeom and Chaerin are looking at Leia.

"Oh.. yeah! Yeah.." Chaerin says. Jibeom put a fake smile and he nods.

"Are you guys okay? If we're going to have a reunion at Joochan's cafe next month?" Aya asks.

"Isn't reunion feels better after sometimes not meeting each other?" Chaerin asks.

"So.. you wanna meet later? I mean after a year?" Jaehyun asks.

"I'm just stating my opinion.." Chaerin says.

"Shall we do that?" Joochan asks.

"But.. you all are not going to cut off contact, right?" Hanni asks.

"Don't you dare to cut off contact between each other" Donghyun says.

"Promise?" Hanni shows a pinky finger to everyone. One by one, they make pinky promise with Hanni except for Chaerin.

"Chaerin?" Hanni looks at Chaerin. Everyone looks at Chaerin.

"Chaerin... are you... leaving us after this?" Donghyun asks.

"No.. I.." Chaerin is hesitant.

"Are you... perhaps.. unhappy with us?" Aya asks. Chaerin put a smile on her face. She gets up and makes a pinky promise with Hanni. After that, she takes all her stuffs.

"I'll be going first.." Chaerin smiles. She takes some money from her purse and she put it on the table. Everyone is just looking at her, clueless.

"Till we meet again" Chaerin says. She looks at Jibeom before she leaves. Everyone is just staring at her. The situation has become too tight.

Jibeom returns home with Areum after they return to South Korea. Jibeom and Areum are going to the Choi's house tomorrow for the final choice activity. Jibeom has already said to them, since they were the ones who made him to join since the first so they should be with him in the end too. The Choi's agree. At the same time, Jibeom is afraid too. He's afraid if he's going to choose wrongly since he has two people in his mind; Leia and Chaerin. While Jibeom is about to put Areum to sleep, Jibeom asks Areum.

"Areum.." Jibeom says.

"Hmm?" Areum replies.

"Who do you think is the best to be your mother other than omma?" Jibeom asks. Areum just looks at Jibeom with a blank expression.

"I don't know.." Areum says. Jibeom sighs.

"Why Appa?" Areum asks.

"I'm in dilemma.." Jibeom says.

"Appa is afraid?" Areum asks. Jibeom looks at Areum. He sighs.

"Kinda.." Jibeom says. Areum sighs.

"What do you think about Chaerin imo?" Jibeom asks Areum.

"Good! Pretty!" Areum replies.

"Is she good to you?" Jibeom asks. Areum nods.

"How about Leia imo?" Jibeom asks Areum.

"Good! Like my omma!" Areum says. Jibeom smiles.

"Choose the one you like the most" Areum says.

"Are you okay with that?" Jibeom asks Areum. Areum nods her head.

"If Appa is happy, Areum is happy too.." Areum says. Jibeom smiles. He doesn't even know who he likes the most. He likes Leia, at the same time, Chaerin makes him to doubt. He isn't sure with himself. But Areum's words help him a little. He wants to choose wisely, so Areum can be happy. At the same time, Areum wants him to choose wisely so he can be happy too. Areum is a bright girl. Even though she's just 3 years old but she's aware of her surroundings.
