## Summary

Nol is resting when Shin-Ae comes back, bringing Dieter and Soushi with her. They put on paper hats and congratulate Nol on his birthday. Nol tries to deny that it's his birthday, but Shin-Ae says that Nol can't hide everything from them and that they all want to make this day special for him.

They give Nol a bunch of burgers that sushi wrote "happy birtday" on and origami ducks. Nol embraces Soushi and Dieter, thanking them. Shin-Ae thinks that she can't give Nol her gift now as Soushi asks her about her gift, and she says she didn't get anything, and just brought the balloons. They look up at the balloon, which Shin-Ae has written birthday messages on.

The sun starts to rise and Dieter and Soushi have fallen asleep. Shin-Ae asks why Nol is still awake, and tells him to go to sleep. Nol asks her the same question, and she says that she is making sure he is okay and falls asleep. He says that he doesn't want to, and she yells at him. Nol then thanks her for organizing this and says he never thought there would be a time when he would be happy during this time of the year, and he doesn't deserve this.

Shin-Ae questions this, saying that everyone deserves to celebrate on their birthday; however he still insists that it is a negative thing. Nol changes the subject, asking how she knew it was his birthday, and she says it was in the Bible, and tells him it's for luck and asks him about the letters in it. He then looks in her bag, spotting her birthday gift for him. She tries to hide it before giving it to him and turning away, putting her phone to her ear. The gift is oranges with faces drawn on them. He asks what she is listening to, and leans in closer. Nol taps his fingers, and then Shin-Ae starts taping her fingers around too. Nol asks what she is doing, and she says that she's "dancing" and he joins her.

Shin-Ae starts laughing, saying they are lame, and explains to Nol that she didn't want him dancing in pain. She pretends to "kick" his finger with hers, and he wraps his finger around hers. Nol asks her to take his shoes off so they can dance. They start to dance, but Nol rests his head on Shin-Ae's shoulder, saying he is lightheaded.
