## Summary

Yu Jing walks past a table full of old newspapers, interview records, and Min-Hyuk's middle school yearbook. She sits down, watching a tabloid video about Nol's behavior during the Alyssa's Christmas Party.

At the hospital, Rand and Yui continue their conversation. Rand asks how long Kousuke will stay like this, Yui tells him that it won't be long, and asks if there is something Rand would like to give or tell him, and that she can pass information on. Rand says it won't be necessary. He says that it's not his message to give anymore, and Yui asks whose it is.

The scene transitions to Nol and Shin-Ae embracing. Nol flinches, and Shin-Ae apologizes for hurting him. He takes her headband and puts it over his eyes, saying he is giving himself a handicap so their dancing levels are even. They begin dancing again.

The scene transitions to Kousuke's dance with Shin-Ae at the formal, showing Nol watching, as well as Yu Jing and her friend. Yu Jing looks at Sang-Chul talking to a waiter, and the visuals transition once again to a newspaper article about him. The doorbell rings, and opens the door, dragging Hansuke in. Hansuke reveals that he stole the blood vials.

Yui tells Rand *"Look at you taking charge. How inspiring. I hope they're dependable. One little push is all it takes…"* as the scene transitions again, this time to Sim-Han taking out the trash while Min-Hyuk comes up to him, asking if he is going to church with them. Sim-Han says yes, and walks away, following Min-Hyuk.

The dialogue between Yui and Rand continues as Shin-Ae and Nol continue to dance, Rand says that he has faith. Shin-Ae sees that her shoulder is wet, and trips, stumbling into Nol. She thinks, *"You weren't blind at all."*
