Haneul rushed into the cafeteria, concern etched on his face as he questioned, "Jagiya, what happened?"
Hwa Yeong feigned nonchalance, responding, "What happened? Nothing happened. I told you we were just having a meal together. Did you run here? You are sweaty all over." She grabbed a tissue from the table and wiped Haneul's sweat.
Concerned about her well-being, Haneul inquired, "Are you alright? I thought you said you were going to take a walk. Why are you here in the cafeteria? Shouldn't you either be walking or in your hospital room?"
Hwa Yeong chuckled nervously, "Oh that... hihihi... Something came up."
Haneul pressed, "What happened, Hun?"
Hwa Yeong expressed a preference, "Hun... I like that. Call me Hun! Not Jagiya. I find it weird."
Haneul teased, "Alright, Jagiya. Hahaha."
Hwa Yeong glared at Haneul, who tried to ease the situation by saying, "Let's go back to your room, you need rest."
Defiantly, Hwa Yeong insisted, "No! I don't need rest. I look good and I feel good. See... I am fine." She jumped up and down, running around Haneul to emphasize her point.
Haneul, still concerned, warned, "You 'seem' fine, but we are still not sure about your insides."
Undeterred, Hwa Yeong declared, "But I cleared up my stuff from the room... I want to get discharged." She abruptly stopped and noticed Aera. "Oh Aera... What are you doing here? Or are you even Aera at this point?"
Ahn Bora revealed herself, smirking. "Uh-Oh, I got caught, but you are alone, all alone."
Hwa Yeong, realizing the ruse, said, "Aera, I thought you're going back home."
Bora admitted, "Aera was going, but I am staying."
Haneul, catching up, exclaimed, "BORA?!?!"
Bora teased, "Oh, it's Mr. Handsome. You know you guys remind me of Aera and her lover. But too bad, they had a very unhappy ending."
Hwa Yeong intervened before Haneul could respond, "Haneul, there is no Bora. It is just Aera; she is sick. Take my stuff and wait for me in the car. I will come; I just have some stuff to inform Aera about." She pushed Haneul toward the lift.
Ahn Bora, satisfied with the chaos she caused, taunted, "Aren't you concerned what I'll do to your little girlfriend, Mr. Handsome?"
Haneul turned back to face Bora, asking, "Is something wrong?"
Hwa Yeong hurriedly interjected, "No, hun. Nothing—"
Bora cut in, "Actually, lover boy, something is wrong. You are in the wrong place at a wrong time."
Haneul, worried, questioned, "What's wrong?"
Bora threatened, "Oh, you may have to say goodbye to your gf because neither she nor me is leaving soon. So either you stay or go to the car and drive home."
Haneul, determined not to leave Aera alone, declared, "I'm not leaving her alo—"
Bora interrupted, "You shut up... Do you even know who I am? Even if you are there, I can hurt her. So just l—"
Hwa Yeong snapped, "Mind your language, Bora!" She pushed Bora away, turned, and faced Haneul. "Actually, I have something to dis—"
Bora defiantly retorted, "I will never mind my language... Aera might have done it, but Bora doesn't. Plus, he can stay, I think it will be good."
Hwa Yeong, angered, pushed Bora and turned to Haneul, saying, "YOU WANT TO TALK ALONE! RIGHT?! So, Haneul, please, we need privacy. See you later!"
Haneul agreed, "Okay!" as he turned to face Bora. "And Aera or Bora, whatever your name is, if you touch her, you will see a new side to me."
