The person who saved you will become your god of death.

It means you're going to die!

What?

Oh, um, hello.

What does she mean by that?

It's nothing.

I'm not finished!

I told you, there's a twist.

- Yeom Mi-- - It's not your boyfriend!

At first, I thought that it was the water god, too.

But I finally saw the face of the person wearing those drenched sneakers.

It was some middle-aged guy.

A middle-aged guy?

Yeah, I was just so relieved that it wasn't your boyfriend--

Huh?

This person.

It was this person.

What?

This person... who is he? Why is he here?

You.

How have you been doing?

Where have you been?

I thought I'd be able to finish things quickly, but... ugh.

Finish what?

Hello.

No need to greet him.

You. Jo Yeom Mi, friend of Yoon So Ah.

How about you leave now?

This woman and I don't have much time left together.

- Who is that? - Just go.

Curiosity killed the cat, you know.

What about what I told you?

- Your father will be the death of you-- - Stop spouting nonsense!

It was just a weird dream.

Hey, I'm telling you. I saw your dad!

It was the man in the photo! It wasn't a mistake--

- There's a decisive error here. - What?

You said the person who saved me will be the death of me.

But my dad...

has never saved me, even once.

Go, and forget about your weird dream.

Leave!

Why is this...

Why did he do this unnecessary thing?

You went to find the crest?

Well, there wasn't any real reason, but I was uneasy.

And it took me longer than I'd expected.

- Did you find it? - Nope.

I found traces, though. Now I have to put the pieces together.

Whatever it is, do it at Moo Ra's place.

I'm busy, so don't bother me.

You've received the order, then.

How much time do you have left?

Six days.

But you said you came back after going back there once.

You're not going to refrain from returning, are you?

You know that'd be the worst thing you could do, right?

Yeah, I know that much.

It's not like I could stay here if I didn't go back.

Yeah.

I'll give my regards to the homeowner before I leave.

Hey.

This way.

He's leaving.

Goodbye.

So neither of you are going to ask me to stay, eh?

Is that your father?

Um... yes.

Perhaps he took on his own burdens in a different way.

You still haven't heard from him?

- What? - Do you even want to find him?

Stop saying useless things, and go.

Have a great time together!

All right, already!

Make sure you close the front gate properly.

Leave it like this.

Who knows when you'll do this on your own after I leave.

Saying you've forgotten means that you really haven't forgotten

and saying that you hate someone means that you don't hate them.

And your resolve won't ever completely crumble.

And it's always so obvious when you're lying.

That's what you're like.

Your wish...

to meet your dad and tell him everything.

I'm sorry I couldn't grant it before leaving.

I am a god...

and yet I don't even have the power to do that. I'm sorry.

So...

search for him after I leave.

Look for him as much as you can.

Even if you end up meeting with the most evil dad in the world...

search for him anyway.

Like you said, you've become an adult who can withstand such things.

So, look for him.

Find him and confirm things for yourself.

And relieve your heart of its burdens.

Escape from the darkness.

When I think about...

how you may still remain within that darkness after I leave...

it drives me crazy.

You try going.

Go and see if it seems that he'll leave or not.

I'm sure he'll go.

- I just feel so uneasy. - He'll definitely go.

He knows exactly what will happen if he doesn't go.

You really think he'd do something so stupid?

Joo Dong is here.

Where did you go? You didn't say anything to us.

We're going to cut off our ties with you if you keep disconnecting from us.

I got kicked out by Habaek.

You met with Habaek?

I heard that he received the order.

Did it seem like he would do anything stupid?

No, not really.

And you were going around looking for the crest?

Yeah, I thought it might be somewhere near where I passed out, but nope.

I thought that maybe that wasn't where I lost it

so I looked around every place that I'd ever been to.

I was all over the country!

- That's what took me so long. - But you couldn't find it.

Yeah, but I think I know who took it.

Who? It should be invisible to humans.

There are some humans who can see such things, though.

Let me stay here tonight, okay?

I have to go all over the place starting tomorrow.

- No! - No!

Love is such a problem.

Nam Soo Ri!

Oh, Lord Joo Dong! Where are you?

On the street.

Why? Did you meet with Lord Habaek?

I got kicked out. Where are you?

Sneak me into the house, will you?

I'm working right now.

And I don't think I'll be able to go home today.

Why are you working so hard at your part-time jobs when you'll be leaving?

Well, Lord Habaek told me to make a lot of money.

Oh, all right! Bye!

Ugh. Money is such a problem.

Gosh!

- Why are you here? - It's urgent.

Death? So, Ms. Descendant is going to die?

I'm telling you, yes!

Did you hate Ms. Descendant so much that you wanted to kill her?

They say one's deepest desires are manifested through dreams.

I thought that it was a prophetic dream.

But my future sight powers are a bit weak

so in order to bolster them...

I'll need your help after all, Nam Soo Ri.

And I heard that you're leaving soon.

What?

Um, hello?

Oh, yes, the 50,000 won order for chicken? Yes!

He never sleeps in, so why today?

I waited until you'd come to wake me up.

Why?

Just because.

I have a present for you.

I wanted to buy you the best thing

but I didn't think I'd be able to afford anything as good as Moo Ra.

So in exchange, I picked something that I thought would suit you best.

I always said that I'd buy you clothes, but I never got to.

Put this on, and let's go on a date today.

- A date? - Yes.

The one we were planning last time.

Eating delicious things, having fun, and shopping for clothes.

Let's do that today, tomorrow, and the day after that.

Let's leave the car behind, and walk or take public transportation instead.

- Let's just do that. - Let's just do that.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

All right!

Okay, rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

How is it that you can't win, even once?

Ugh, let's play just one more round.

Oh, the bus is here!

Oh, never mind. I was wrong.

It's nice to be out and about, huh?

It's even nicer to be out together, right?

Yeah.

Oh!

This place makes good cold bean noodles.

But you can't eat cold things.

I'm going to give it a shot.

I'll have to resolve at least one thing so you won't leave with a heavy heart.

I have do things to make you feel less uneasy.

All right, then. I'll give this a shot!

Oh, come on. This isn't even that bad!

Looks like I was scared all this time for nothing.

Wow, I wasted so much time!

Why are you laughing?

Habaek.

What? Is it because I called you by your name?

I'm fine with calling other people by their names

but I held off on calling you by yours all this time because I felt like

saying your name was the same as me confessing my love for you.

It felt like my secret feelings were being exposed.

Habaek.

We ate noodles today.
