Younghee finds herself sitting on the big green hill where the sunset paints the sky a warm auburn color like the autumn season.
Perhaps to soothe her nerves, her worries, her disappointment, or maybe remind her of the former pilot.
She leans on habit when tired, falling on her side and the fresh grass tickles her from underneath.
When she realizes what's happened, tears run down her cheek.
"I'm sorry but maybe next time."
"She wasn't even that bad, give her a chance!"
"I think it's best if she's put in a survival show. Hana's exceptional, don't you think so?"
A groan.
And Younghee thanking them for their time, leaving the entertainment building.
Younghee sits up, catching the sun disappear. Then, it becomes dark.
"Hey, you!" a voice calls out, one the girl can't make out.
The boy approaches her—worried brown eyes, fluffy brown hair covering forehead, a striped t-shirt with blue jeans, hurrying as if the need is urgent.
He mouthes a thank god and places his hands on her shoulder, so she can turn around to see him.
He can't just think that way because of the girl's glistening eyes from the tears, flushed face, or because he knows her through someone, but because if his best friend saw her right now, he'd be heartbroken.
"Hey, what are you doing here this late?"
"How did you find me?"
"Anyone that's friends with my friend is also considered a friend to me. Why wouldn't I find you?"
"What? Did you have my face memorized?"
"Oh that—that was Kevin."
Younghee laughs and wipes the tears away with her sleeves.
"Just so you know, he didn't intend to come off as creepy."
"Noted. I heard you're creepy in a way?"
There's a playful smile on the boy's lips and a laugh bubbles out of his mouth.
"That's another story. For now, let's focus on Sunwoo and yours."
He hopes the younger female understands what he means.
He doesn't want her to think she's alone.
"You probably already know me, but yeah, Younghee."
"The runaway bride?"
"Hey!"
"Sorry," a laugh follows, "I'm Changmin."
. . .
The first thing Sunwoo sees when he arrives back at Incheon International Airport is Areum.
Areum is standing at the flight assistance desk, watching airplanes taxii.
She turns around, eyes meeting his, "Sunwoo!"
She runs to him and grabs his arm, trying to receive his attention but all she gets is him finding his place back behind the desk, meeting a familiar pair of eyes that remind him of honey.
Their differences have given them nicknames "Tom and Jerry" between the air hostesses.
"Sunwoo," she tries again, not surprised by his serious expression.
"Areum, shouldn't you be home and getting married to your dream guy?"
"He left me. . . "
"Did he really? Or what was the message you send me?"
And he realizes he deleted her number, there's no way to tell her.
"The marriage is canceled. I'm marrying you, of course!"
"Yeah, no. For your happiness, yeah, like for 5 seconds."
"Like a practice?"
"Three, two, one. No. It was nice being your husband but now I got an airplane to control."
Hyunjae laughs at their conversation, helping Sunwoo with the needed passenger documents.
They travel down the runaway, leaving Areum confused.
The former pilot looks back and a smile lifts on his lips, the sky and leaves twirling reminding him of Youghee.
He hopes she's okay.
. . .
Maybe Park Jinyoung was right.
She needs to participate in a reality show because that's where she finds herself.
The young female walks across the stage, finding a seat, sitting in silence threatening her to speak.
And there she finds Narae.
"Oh my god, Younghee?"
"Narae!"
Thank god, there's someone she knows.
She receives a text and quickly checks it.
Changmin: I know the idea is more intense but don't worry about that too much. also you might want to put your phone away soon as possible :>
Another message alerts her.
Sunwoo: take it slow, yeah? I know you're not backing down easily. Remember what you told me, you're not going back home without auditioning & reaching your dream. I want that Younghee back. The Younghee who loves herself.
Younghee smiles.
Younghee wants to text him back but the moment he attempts, the show begins.
