The drama's filming has concluded, and it has become quite popular with a high rating. So Eun goes to the farewell party with all of the actors and crew to celebrate the success of their drama on the set. The producers ensure that everyone can share a delicious meal. The party went off without a hitch and lasted three hours. After everyone has said their final goodbyes, So Eun returns to her private make-up table to collect her belongings, where she discovers a bouquet of flowers and a letter.
'So, Eun-ah, congratulations on finishing this drama successfully and gaining more recognition from others; I am so proud of you. Maybe we won't see each other after everything is done here, so even if you don't want to hear me out, I decided to tell you here. Please accept my apologies. I sincerely apologize for what I did to you the last time. I wouldn't ask you to forgive me because it's understandable if you hate me for the rest of your life. But, just so you know, I am overjoyed that I was able to collaborate with you and watch you grow into the famous actress that you are now. I always wish you the best of luck. Sincerely, Lee Hyuk Soo'
That's the handwritten letter left on her desk by the top actor and model. So, despite the fact that it is her favorite flower, So Eun is unwilling to take it with her. She simply stared at the bouquet before placing the letter back on the table. So Eun turns around and leaves the bouquet and Hyuk Soo's letter on her desk. She has no desire to save anything from that man.
The actress is now resting well in her own apartment to recover from the exhaustion of the day. She makes herself a hot chocolate while watching a new drama she recently downloaded on her laptop. Not far from her bedroom, there are beautiful flowers she placed in a vase to brighten her room, the bouquet she had previously received from Hyuk Soo. She was attempting to simply leave the bouquet on the set, but she believes it will go to waste. So, in the end, she returns to take the flower home with her. Along with the vase, the letter is on the table.
So Eun feels a vibration from her phone, indicating that she has received a message from Junsu. The man inquires whether she has finished her dinner. The actress decides not to respond to the message and instead calls him. She wishes to speak with him directly. Junsu's voice finally appears after she hears some waiting sound.
"Are you still recording, Junsu-ah?" the actress inquires. Junsu has a recording schedule for his new song today, so he is extremely busy and rarely contacts her throughout the day.
"No, I'm up to near our apartment. Have you eaten anything?" The singer asks his girlfriend the same question.
"No, not yet. Why ? Do you bring me dinner? "She inquires, intrigued.
"Binggo! I'm in the mood for something spicy, so I ordered a lot of your favorite foods; let's eat them together when I get home "The boyfriend tells the actress enthusiastically.
"Waah... I'm starting to get hungry. I'm just gulping down my own saliva from the toughness of the food "So Eun gets excited when he says that. She simply cannot wait to eat with him right now.
"I fully understand. I'll see you soon. I'm missing you "The singer can't stop laughing at So Eun's exuberant demeanor. He can already imagine how cute she is when she acts all excited.
"I miss you, too," she says automatically, without thinking. So Eun ends the phone call with a bright smile on her face.
So Eun looks around her apartment, assessing whether it is presentable enough for Junsu to visit. As a result, she cleans up and looks around. Her gaze is drawn to the flower in the vase she received from Hyuk Soo. She quickly removes the flowers from the vase and prepares to throw them away. Despite the beauty of the flower, she promises herself that she will not make Junsu feel insecure about Hyuk Soo again. As a result, she decides to discard the flower.
The actress takes a trash bag and places the flower in it, as well as the letter from Hyuk Soo, which she also places in the trash bag. She was supposed to throw everything away as soon as she received it. She should leave everything about Hyuk Soo in the past. To avoid raising Junsu's suspicions by finding fresh flowers in the trash bag, So Eun decides to dispose of it right away. She takes the trash bag and intends to place it in front of her apartment building on the trash can.
When she goes to throw out the trash, she has no negative thoughts, but then she notices that Junsu's car is already parked in front of the building. The singer is probably nearby. So Eun places the trash bag behind her bag and carefully walks out of the building. She quickly threw the trash bag away before Junsu caught her doing so.
So Eun walks closer to Junsu's car, but she can't find him anywhere. As a result, she decides to walk around and look for the singer. She doesn't have to look far to find him; from where she stands, she witnesses something she never expected to see.
Junsu is being hugged by a young girl she has never seen before. The images of them remind her of the message Junsu received from Jae Hee previously. So Eun is convinced that the girl hugging her boyfriend now is the same girl. Jae Hee. Junsu appears to be trying his hardest to push the girl away and appears to be very angry, but the girl insists on approaching him even though Junsu clearly shows that he is annoyed with the girl.
"Junsu-ah, what's the matter?" So Eun makes the decision to approach them. Junsu is taken aback by her appearance. He appears perplexed and unsure of what to do after So Eun discovers him with another girl. Junsu rushes up to So Eun and grabs her hand tightly.
"So Eun-ah, it doesn't appear to be what you seem," Junsu explains to his girlfriend. So Eun just nods slowly while looking at the girl. After Junsu approaches for So Eun, the young girl appears pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.
"Come on in, I'll explain everything to you." Junsu takes So Eun's hand and leads her into their apartment.
"Oh, Junsu oppa! I haven't finished yet!" The girl begs Junsu to return, but the singer never turns around to look at her. He walks on, pretending not to hear anything. So Eun is the only one who turns around and lets Junsu take her hand. She notices the girls cry and become despicable.
To lighten the mood between the couple, they decide to enjoy the dinner together before starting any conversation. Junsu seems troubled as he tries to find a way as how to start his explaination and So Eun just patiently waiting for him until he is ready.
"That girl is Jae Hee, a trainer from our agency. Somehow she ended up to confess her feeling to me days ago and insist to approach me even after I told her that I already has a girlfriend. She is such a stubborn girl" Junsu carefully explain the situation to his girlfriend.
"I already knew about it. I accidentally read her message when we had our date before. I am sorry" So Eun says calmly.
"Why are you the one who feels sorry here?" Junsu feels like her sentences is kinda ridiculous.
"I didn't mean to read the message you received, so I feel bad that I accidentally know about this behind your back" the actress explain her reasoning.
"Then why didn't you ask me anything, as if nothing was wrong?" Junsu doesn't understand what So Eun is thinking.
"I believe you, and I know you will gradually inform me if you believe I need to know. So I'm waiting for you. I'm fine... Don't be sorry for what happened." As she holds his hand, So Eun smiles warmly.
She was causing a lot of trouble for Junsu because of Hyuk Soo, so she doesn't want to act angry here because she knows she did something even worse for Junsu. So Eun resolves to comprehend and accept Junsu's condition, whatever it may be.
Seven months later
So Eun is now in a bride store, taking her time to carefully examine the wedding gown in front of her. She looks around for a suitable dress that suits her taste.
"Han So Eun-ssi?" So Eun turns around to face the main source when she hears a woman's voice call her name from behind her. Kim Min Hee, whom she never expected to see again in that exact location after such a long time, is there.
" Oh annyeonghaseo sunbaenim..." Despite their history, So Eun insists on greeting her politely. After all, everything that happened was in the past, and Kim Min Hee is still her senior, so she doesn't want to be rude to her.
"Are you here to purchase a wedding gown? Your relationship with Lee Junsu appears to be going well... Oh, I read about you two in the article last year "Min Hee speaks to her casually, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
"Oh, I see..." So Eun replied back, not knowing how to respond.
"Actually, I was hoping you'd end up with Hyuk Soo... Well, that boy cherishes you, even if he doesn't always show it." Min Hee smiles casually as she speaks of Hyuk Soo in this manner. Did she forget that she was possibly one of the reasons for their breakup? So Eun remains silent because she does not want to respond to that.
"I was actually trying really hard to win Hyuk Soo's heart back when you broke up with him. I assumed he was the same Hyuk Soo who had always loved me unconditionally. I really miss him and long for his love... But you are the only person in his heart." Min Hee looks at So Eun with a bitter smile. It appears that the actress still regrets her relationship breakdown from the actor.
"I know it may appear rude and strange coming from me after what I did for kissing your boyfriend.... Hyuk Soo was enraged with me about it, and I don't understand why he was so angry about it before."
"I was also relieved to learn that you two had broken up. I hoped it would be my last chance to be with him again. But I was mistaken. And I just want to apologize to you for everything that has happened between us in the past." As she apologizes to So Eun, Min Hee's smile fades. Min Hee's gazes appear sincere, as if she truly regrets her wrongdoings in the past.
"It's all right... It was something that happened a long time ago. It doesn't matter right now." So Eun accepts her apology with a genuine smile. Min Hee sits quietly for a moment, watching So Eun's expression. She then smiles as she realizes So Eun truly forgives her.
"Thank you; that makes me happy. Ah. I have to leave now. I wish you all the best in your life. Goodbye" Min Hee bid her farewell and exited the store.
"Have you found a suitable dress, So Eun-ah?" Another woman appears and approaches So Eun, her name is Hye Su. Her college buddy.
"Yes." So Eun smiles as she shows her preference. A lovely wedding gown with a transparent accent from the neck to the shoulder showing a flower pattern.
Hyuk Soo, on the other hand, has just arrived at Incheon Airport after a long journey. He looks as stylish as ever as he walks towards the entrance door and is photographed by a slew of reporters at the airport. He recently finished filming in Hollywood. His manager was already waiting for him outside with the car. The leading man enters the car, relieved that all attention is no longer focused on him.
"It must be exhausting to be a top celebrity, huh?" The manager teases him jokingly, and Hyuk Soo refuses to respond. The answer is self-evident.
"Ah right, here are the letters you reeceived when you were oversea." the manager gives a bunch of letters to the actor. Hyuk Soo takes it lazily and read the envelope on by one.
"All right, here are the letters you received while overseas." The manager hands the actor a stack of letters. Hyuk Soo takes it casually and begins reading the envelopes one by one.
"Isn't it true that the majority of them are wedding invitations? Everyone appears to be enjoying their lives to the fullest "Hyuk Soo makes a wry remark about it.
His fingers continue to change the envelope with the other, but it stops automatically when he reaches a specific one. The wedding invitation, with Han So Eun's name on the envelope as the sender. Everything around him feels as if time has stood still.
"So it's time for her to get married as well..." he mumbles quietly as he replaces all of the letters without opening any of them.
Hyuk Soo is staring out the window, taking in the scenery. Then he realizes he is in the vicinity of Seoul University. It brings back memories from his past. When he sees a library, a place he previously worked on, he has a moment of realisation.
"Hyung. Stop right here. I'd like to go to the library "He makes a ridiculous request.
It's been a long time since Hyuk Soo visited the library. He has a nostalgic feeling, which fills his heart with a lot of emotion. Fortunately, it is already late at night, and the visitor is not numerous. So he can enjoy his time without drawing unwanted attention.
Hyuk Soo walks up to a high bookshelves and inhales the familiar scent of books. It reminds him of the time he cleaned up the books there, as well as his first meeting with So Eun there. Her distinct expression and gesture are still vivid in his mind.
When Hyuk Soo comes to a halt on the corner bookself, he is surprised by the view. A stunning woman stood in front of him, intently reading a romance novel. Her beauty depleted all of the oxygen in his lungs. He can't believe they'll meet again there, exactly as they did the first time.
So Eun, who has had the feeling that someone has been staring at her for a while, turns around to find a tall top model standing stunned not far from her location. Lee Hyuk Soo.
