Outside, Soo-ja chases Dong-kyung around the block. Seeing him takes her back to a time she’s not sure she wants to revisit. Hyun-kyu only came to answer her question about why he’s back and encourages Ji-na to forget him if it makes things easier for her. Ji-na points out that she waited and waited in vain back then, but he shows back up and gets to see her exactly when he wants. Now, Hyun-kyu argues he was immature back then and regrets how he handled things. Ji-na broke up with him, tired of always being the one to give in. She’d accused him of using how much she liked him to get his way all the time. We flash back to Ji-na confronting him at school after hearing about his going abroad from other people. Less than touched, Ji-na remarks that he’s always done whatever he wanted. That’s why he came back to Korea and the reunion – for her. In a café, Hyun-kyu admits he knew he shouldn’t come to Ji-na’s apartment uninvited, but he missed her. Joo-ik agrees but looks bothered, despite saying there’s no need for her to apologize. Ji-na reveals that it was Hyun-kyu at the door and apologetically asks Joo-ik to wait a bit before leaving to avoid misunderstandings.
Joo-ik sees her rushing around and offers to leave. After collecting herself, she says through the door that she’ll meet him downstairs.
She doesn’t even let him explain why he’s there before she shuts the door in his face. Jumping back to our other surprise encounter, Ji-na opens her door to find Hyun-kyu standing there. Myeol-mang watches bemused as Soo-ja chases Dong-kyung down the street. And then she runs away, scared of the look in her aunt’s eye. Dong-kyung stares at her aunt, her eyes full of emotion. Now we’re back to him asking Dong-kyung to choose between her and the world. But he realized he could never be like mortals who have places in the world and then leave.
Myeol-mang narrates that he once wanted to eat, sleep, and love like humans. Meanwhile, in addition to the stress of her best friend’s illness, our romance writer has some drama of her own involving one persistent ex and a certain stoic editor. For our immortal hero unused to dealing in the finite, this is no easy task. As the days pass, our heroine and all her loved ones are forced to confront her limited remaining time.
