Waiting,

Waiting,

Can only waiting in uncertainty.

Cha Young tries to be positive thinking, maybe Vincenzo is still busy with his business and delays his return. It's possible that his cell phone is lost or damaged so he can't call her. Or worst of all, maybe he got sick or had an accident.

She really wanted to go to Busan and look for her lover all over the city, but she had absolutely no information about him. He did not told her which hotel he was staying at, what company he worked with, or which restaurant he ate at. In addition, Cha Young's work cannot be left behind. Her customers had been waiting, as long as she waiting for Vincenzo.

How long should she wait?

In front of a funeral room in a hospital, Valerio froze. Mourners came and went in and out of the room, some accidentally bumping into him and glancing irritably at him who was blocking the way.

"Hey, you're not coming in?" Reprimand one of the mourners to him.

Valerio slowly took off his shoes, entering the room full of sobs.

Again, he froze in front of a photo frame surrounded by a wreath of flowers. He took a white flower, placed it in front of the man in police uniform in the photo frame. Then he turned to face the deceased's family, bowing in condolences. After that he sat with the other mourners. A bowl of yukaejang was served to him. Valerio stared blankly at the red soup like a pool of blood.

"I still didn't expect him to leave so quickly," the mourners around Valerio chatted.

"Yeah, we just had a reunion last week. He has a lot of unfulfilled hopes."

"Yes, he just got married and his wife is pregnant."

"Aigoo..."

"Hyeok-ah, I heard that you two met the day before he went to Busan, right?"

Valerio nodded curtly.

Flash back...

Valerio poured soju into the glass. Before he could drink it, someone grabbed the glass and gulped down its contents.

"You just asked me out," Pil Do sits across from him, refilling the glass he'd emptied earlier with the intoxicating liquor.
