## Summary

Jugyeong and Suho turn around and see Seojun standing behind them. Panicked, Jugyeong sprints away before Seojun can get a clear glimpse of her real face. Not recognizing his girlfriend, Seojun asks Suho who that was. Disconcerted, Suho lies and replies that it was a stranger he happened to encounter. When Seojun asks why he is in the neighborhood, Suho lies again and claims he was just passing by. Suho quickly excuses himself and hurries away, baffled that Seojun is clearly clueless about Jugyeong's secret.

Inside her apartment, Jugyeong buries her face in her pillow, agonizing over what has just happened. As she worries about her relationship with Seojun, she receives a text from Suho, who informs her that Seojun did not recognize her. She then receives a text from Seojun asking to meet her so he can give her something. Too frazzled to face him, Jugyeong lies and claims to be under the weather.

The next day, Seojun sits in his room, staring at a pair of earrings he bought for Jugyeong. Worrying over their cheap appearance, he decides not to give the earrings to her anymore. He then receives a notification from his landlord informing him that his rent is four months overdue and that he is now in risk of eviction. Seojun buries his face in his hands, wondering how he is going to earn enough money before the deadline. After getting ready and heading out the door, he attempts to start up the moped to begin deliveries for his part-time job. Realizing that the vehicle is broken, Seojun sighs in despair, knowing he does not have the money to fix it. He pulls out his phone to search for same-day employment.

Jugyeong walks dejectedly down a street, waiting to hear from Seojun. As she wonders whether he is mad at her for not meeting him the night before, she spots a throng of children excitedly crowding around a man wearing a large cat mask. Another man suddenly grabs the masked man by the shirt collar, accusing the masked man of touching his girlfriend. As the girlfriend attempts to assuage him, claiming it is a misunderstanding, several bystanders begin to record the incident. That night, Jugyeong checks her phone and still sees no response from Seojun.

The next day, Jugyeong checks her phone in class and sees no new notifications from Seojun. As she reminds herself not to jump to any conclusions, she receives a notification from Sua on Acebook. Jugyeong checks the tagged post and sees a video recording of the incident with the masked man. As the camera pans down to the masked man's feet, Jugyeong suddenly recognizes the sneakers.

After a long day of hard work, Seojun takes off the cat mask and sits down on the curb, exhausted and sweaty. He looks up and sees Jugyeong standing in front of him, tears rolling down her face.
