Shin-Ae finishes crying on the balcony, and apologizes to Nol. Nol tells her not to worry, and that he won't speak about it. He suggests that she go back inside to warm-up. She agrees, and asks why he isn't coming back inside. He says that he wants to stay out a bit longer, and wants to get his mind off things. He also assumes that Kousuke doesn't know she is out there, or else he would have stopped her. She is still concerned, and comments how his clothes are still damp, she offers him her jacket. He refuses it, telling her that he is fine and "I didn't say I was freezing, I said it was freezing". She walks back inside, and he stays out on the balcony.

Shin-Ae sits up, and Kousuke tells her to go back to bed, but Shin-Ae wants to hear what Yui has to say. Shin-Ae says that Kousuke filled her in on what happened, and Yui feigns innocence. Shin-Ae says that Yui forced her to go to the party, but Yui denies this as well. Shin-Ae explains how Yui manipulated her by making her think that Kousuke could get in trouble for giving her a job, despite the fact that it was all set up by Yui.

Yui hands her a check, saying that she meant to help her, since Kousuke would never give Shin-Ae a job at the company. Shin-Ae rips up the check, saying if Yui really had good intentions, she wouldn't have tried to 'help' in such a convoluted and deceitful way. Shin-Ae then yells at her to leave. Once she is gone, Shin-Ae asks Kousuke if he would have given her the job and the money. He tells her no.

He tells her that she is mistaken and he is just as lost as she is. He also tells her that he puts on different faces or personas for different people. She asks him if he puts on a different face around her, but quickly changes the topic by pointing out how the cat scratches on Nol's face have healed.

## Summary

It is revealed that Shin-Ae told her story to Nol, and he questions if she really let things go. Shin-Ae says that holding a grudge doesn't change anything, and "*you eventually get tired of being angry and feeling sorry for yourself."* Shin-Ae continues on to say that it's better to exhaust yourself doing things that you care about and make you feel better, and to move on.

Nol says that the past will always follow you, and scars don't disappear, and the way people act is a result of what happened in the past. He points out that Shin-Ae hasn't moved on if she keeps avoiding getting close to people. Shin-Ae asks what his scars are, but he says that they are not *"noteworthy".*

Shin-Ae says the reason she shared her story was so that Nol would know that she's not going to hold anything against him, and she doesn't hate people who put her in dangerous situations. She asks him why he considers himself a bad person, but he says that he deserves everything that's happening to him. He continues on to say that she won't look at him the same. When Shin-Ae starts to protest, he tells her about a book he read, and that the moral was "*you can never reach happiness by achieving it through causing others pain."* Shin-Ae is confused, and Nol continues talking about how he didn't like the book, before saying he feels sick and throwing up.

Shin-Ae takes Nol into Min-Hyuk's bedroom to rest, and leaves to find medication, and runs into Min-Hyuk, trying to get him to help her. However, he runs off into the chaos of the party. Shin-Ae returns to the room, and Nol asks her to turn of the light.
