Meanwhile, Hyun Woo opens up about his life and his reasons for choosing assisted death. He tells Woo So Jung, “I tried everything, but nothing changed. I could give up because I tried everything.” This makes Woo So Jung emotional, and she secretly looks for new treatments to save him.
When Hyun Woo finds out, he gets angry and accuses her of not understanding his pain. He leaves, but later returns to protect her from an abusive husband. After treating his injury, they apologize to each other, leading to the kiss.
