Ji-hyun rushes to try and find her official seal before Min-ho reaches the room, but she can't manage to track it down. Just as he enters, she scrambles out the patio door and (unnecessarily) hangs off the ledge. She can't hang on any longer, and falls a few feet down to the ground, injuring her ankle in the process.
In-jung goes to the hospital to meet someone she calls "Mother," though it doesn't appear to be her own mom. The woman is suffering from dementia, and doesn't recognize her. She yells up a storm, making In-jung upset. Maybe Min-ho's mom?
Back at Ji-hyun's house, Mom comes in, cutting Min-ho's search short, and he ends up leaving the house with nothing but pictures and dolls. Ji-hyun watches him leave, wondering if he found it, but sees his frustration and rests assured that he didn't find it either.
As she watches him go, she says, angry at herself: "Shin Ji-hyun, you trusted someone like that. You thought that someone like him loved you." Aw, it's probably the first time this sheltered girl ever even thought that people could be untrustworthy, let alone malicious.
She looks back at her house, crying at the thought of Mom and Dad. She wanders the streets for a while, feeling adrift and alone.
She stands on a corner for a long time, watching people pass by, and then in a fit of frustration, she starts hitting her head in that I'm-such-a-dummy way. As if a voice from the sky, the Scheduler shouts, "Why are you hitting Song Yi-kyung?" Oops. She realizes that it really isn't HER head she's hitting. She looks for him, and finds him up on a balcony sipping coffee, because really, what's the point of an afterlife if there's no coffee?
She runs up to him brightly, and he just tsk-tsks at her when he sees her limping. He yells up a storm, that no one gave her permission to go hurting Yi-kyung. She apologizes, but then smiles eagerly, glad to have someone to talk to.
She grabs his hand as she sits down next to him, eliciting the most hilarious reaction out of him, something like OMG it TOUCHED me. She really might as well be a slime monster, by his recoil.
I dearly love the fact that she thinks they're friends, while he's like get it off, GET IT OFF, gedditOFF!
He makes it clear that theirs is not that kind of relationship, (Yeah, let's see how long that lasts, Reaper Boy.) and she says it's just that she doesn't know what to do, and there's no one else to talk to about it.
She starts laying out her troubles, wondering what on earth Min-ho and In-jung are up to, how much time she's supposed to dedicate to finding her seal, what if she can't find it, what about the tears...and he finally puts up his hand in protest to stop her.
He reminds her that he's not a person, and that he's not here out of concern for her. He got paged here, because his host-body-injury-dar sounded an alarm at him. Ji-hyun sighs, "Oh...is that why you came?" as a tear falls.
He tells her that he's got a busy schedule himself, thank you very much. But she reminds him that he gave her that hint last night, about opening the door. I love that she's sitting there trying to prove their friendship...to him. The Scheduler gasps and looks around, "ME?! When?"
He jumps up from the table and overacts that she's just making things up now, and walks away. She sits and pouts, saying to herself that he really did give her the hint; she's sure of it.
As Reaper Boy walks away, he looks back at her with a sigh, saying to himself that she's slow on the uptake, which is why she's always getting hurt. AW. He's clearly been breaking rules to help her. Big ol' softie.
Min-ho stops by the hospital to drop off Ji-hyun's things, winning him extra Daddy points. Dad announces that he's going back to work, which is probably going to make whatever scheme he's got brewing more difficult.
