Love is in the air, with Hye-jin and Doo-shik engaging in lovey-dovey activities: a water hose fight, watermelon tasting, and cuddles under the sunshine. As they embrace, Doo-shik blissfully closes his eyes.

When he opens them, he’s alone in a black void

When he opens them, he’s alone in a black void. An unseen child begins to wail. Doo-shik covers his ears and calls out for Hye-jin and from the darkness, his stoic doppelganger emerges and asks a tearful Doo-shik if he thinks he deserves happiness.

Doo-shik wakes from the nightmare in his own bed and to the sound of Hye-jin calling his name. He immediately hugs her. He admits that he had a nightmare, and she comforts him, patting his back as though he was a child.

She tells him that they should come back every day until they are able to watch it together, and suddenly Doo-shik claims he’s able to see the sunrise — Hye-jin just needs to squint a little bit. She playfully hits him when she realizes he’s just messing with her.

At her clinic later that morning, Hye-jin compiles a spreadsheet titled, “100 things I want to do with my boyfriend.” Mi-sun calls her list outdated, and points out that Hye-jin is missing the most important item: going all the way. Hye-jin insists that they’re taking things slow and connecting on a personal level, which Mi-sun finds completely ridiculous when the end goal — no matter the pace — is always sexy times. After Mi-sun leaves to care for a patient, Hye-jin calls her friend a pervert, but the single heart emoji she adds to the end of her list is very suggestive.
