Yong Sun no longer joined her colleagues to go to a karaoke bar after she met her cousin's girlfriend who was actually her ex-girlfriend. She could hardly handle the shocking situation so she just went back to her apartment where Hyejin is surprised to see her at the door.
"Unnie!! You're here— Unnie? What happened??" Hyejin was stopped by the sight of her swollen eyes and didn't know what to do with her. It can be seen in Hyejin that she was worried about her.
"Hyejin...", Yong Sun suddenly hugs her younger friend and cries on her shoulder.
Meanwhile Hyejin immediately returns the hug and pats her back. She even thought maybe Wheein's cousin was the reason why her unnie was crying so she hated that man even more.
"Did your boyfriend make you cry again? What are you two arguing about again?" She asked but her older friend did not answer her question.
"Unnie? Cry until you want, just cry until you feel you're okay. Starting tonight, please think of yourself first before anyone else." She continued while patting her back.
"Hyejin, thank you...", Yong Sun said, "I don't know why I am crying... I think I'm so drunk. I drank with my colleagues earlier." Yong Sun reasoned and Hyejin knew she was not telling the truth.
After a few minutes, Yong Sun goes to her bedroom and lays on her bed. She thinks if she could get some sleep maybe she could forget even for a while but her mind continues to mess.
"Mom, Dad, Yong Sun Noona... This is Byul-Yi, my girlfriend. She's been my girlfriend for almost 5 years now and still counting..."
She can't stop crying again every time she remembers how her cousin is proudly introducing her ex-girlfriend to them with a wide smile on his face.
"You can no longer say that she's just my imagination because you can clearly see that my girlfriend is a real person."
"My girlfriend?" She whispered while looking at the ceiling, "Why her? Why her?! With so many women you can meet, why her? Why the person I loved the most? Why?!" She shouted silently, even though in recent years, she convinced herself that she wasn't in love with her ex anymore but when she saw her again, the butterflies in her stomach revived and flew inside her again.
She wants to be mad and confront Jin but for what? She knows it wasn't his fault. Because if Jin knew Byul-Yi was her ex-girlfriend, he would not be able to betray her. They're cousins, they're best friends, so it is unlikely that he would betray her just because of the woman they both like.
She now regrets why she didn't tell Jin who's the girl she was in love with before. Why didn't she mention Byul-Yi's name to him when he asked.
What should I do now? How can I approach him without getting hurt, without thinking he is Byul-Yi's boyfriend? How can I approach him like I'm okay? Should I tell him now? No! You can't! You're going to ruin his life if you do that. Yong Sun is battling with her mind and she hopes she'll be okay tomorrow.
But then, she suddenly remembered what Byul-Yi said many years ago, the night when she rejected her.
I will make sure you regret your decision...
She was surprised when she remembered those words again. She didn't even notice that she was already sitting and staring into space. She thinks maybe her ex-girlfriend is getting revenge and she was using her cousin against her.
"It is not me who can hurt but Jin! Should I stop her now? But how? I can't even face her...", she said.
