As Young-soo was standing by her room door he could clearly hear that she was sobbing in her room. Therefore, he twists the door knob of her room to his luck the door was not locked, he opens the door and enters in, "what happened, Eunbi. Why are you crying?"
Eunbi sat up on the bed, wiped her face with her palms, and advised herself to not cry in front of him. She mustered up her courage to tell him the truth instead she burst into tears as Young-soo leaned down to her level and hugged her in his arms, "tell me what has happened and why are you crying, Eunbi?" he asked her again softly. action

Young-soo broke the hug; wiped the tears from her face using his thumb finger, and put his hands tenderly on either side of her face, "You haven’t done anything wrong why you are apologizing to me?"
Eunbi placed her hands over his and gently removed his hands from her face, "I need to apologize to you, Young-soo because I have lied to you I don’t know whether you will forgive me or not after telling you the truth, and I don’t know how you are going to react for that but I need to say this to you now." She took a deep breath, "I don’t know what made you to fall in love with me but I...I...I am not in love with you I only see you as one of my friend. The main reason I said yes to your proposal is because I don’t want to insult you by saying no to you in front of your friends and especially in front of Park Inha. I am extremely sorry again for playing with your feelings."
Young-soo couldn’t believe whatever she just said, "Eunbi tell me the truth you are kidding me, right?"
"No, I’m not kidding you, what I said is true, I’m not in love with you." She said firmly.
He felt so heartbroken to heat that from her because his love was true and purer than pearls hence it hurts him a lot. He never expected that she would play with his feelings; it just gives him a pain in his heart as though she has stomped in his chest. He never thought that his happiness and dream of starting his life with her as her husband would fade away within a few hours. Tears are formed in his eyes but he controlled his best to not show that he was heartbroken in front of her; he controlled his emotions by taking a deep breath, and forced a smile on his face. "I think I am the one should apologize to you for pushing you into an uncomfortable situation, anyways thank you so much for not insulting me in front of my friends. May I ask you something?"

"Since the day one of our marriage till now haven’t you never ever feel any kind feelings for me, not even for once?"
She took a few seconds to think, and said, "My heart pounded sometimes when we get into awkward situations, but I didn’t get into a deep thought about it because I know that my heart has reacted just to an infatuation. I always make sure that I should not fall in love with you at any situation, because from the beginning I was firm with my decision that I want a divorce from you. Even I accepted you as my friend only after you agreed to give me a divorce after a year."
Young-soo holds back his bitterly emotions by biting his lower lip, he couldn’t stand inside the house, thus he walks out of the house get into his car, and drives it away from the garage. It has been an hour still he was driving the car without knowing where to go and then he drives the car to his office. Once he reaches his office, he gets into the elevator press the button to the last floor of the building. He walks out of the elevator as it reaches the rooftop of the building which was the last floor of the building. He sat down on the floor at one corners of the rooftop under the cold weather, leaned his back against the wall, stretched out his legs, and cried helplessly. Why this has happened to me, what sin I have committed in my past life, why I couldn’t able to lead a happy life like others? He asked himself.
In the house Eunbi feels so relief after telling him the truth but she never thought it will hurt him terribly she feels sorry for him, but at the same time it makes her to think does she rejected the right guy of her life. Soon she shakes off her thoughts, why I am thinking as if he was the only man who exists in this world with a good character there are millions of men in this world that are thousand times better than Young-soo. She waits for him on the sofa at the living room but soon she falls asleep in a few minutes because it was a long and tiring day after all. After few hours she wake-up and checks the time on her smart-phone it reads 3:37 am yet he haven’t return back home. She was worried about him and makes a call to his phone number to know whether he is all right or not but her call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system once it his phone stops ringing. She calls to his phone number again for a few more times but Young-soo didn’t answer her call. Through this she could clearly guess that he is avoiding her on purpose, so she stops making calls to his phone number and went to bed compromising her mind and believing that he will be alright soon in a few days.
