Woo Sung and Su Jin are walking together near Su Jin's home. Woo Sung decide to send her home for her safety. Hye Rin is silently following them from their behind.

"Don't do this again,  Lady Su Jin... Following someone and running away from your house are not good for you." Woo Sung said. "You will put yourself to danger." He added. Su Jin pout her lips. "You're talking just like an older brother to me." She murmured. Woo Sung smile when he heard her. "I'm older than you so you must listen to my advice." He said. They stop when they reach her home. Su jin rolled her eyes.

"Let's part ways here..." He said. Su Jin look at him. "Can we see each other more often? "She said. Woo Sung look at her with puzzlement. "There's no reason for us to meet." He said coldy. Su Jin smile faded. "Maybe in you but for me...  I have my reason to meet you." She said. "I know this is impossible to believe it but, I... Fall inlove with you before I met you..." She said. Woo Sung let out a small laugh because he think that she's crazy. "I know this is hard to believe,  but you visit me in my dream and we kiss." She said. Woo Sung laugh and tilt his head.  "Yah! Are you on drugs?" He said. "I swear I'm telling you the truth and I was also got shocked when I first saw you..." She said. Woo Sung look at her and saw sincerity in her words but he never believe on what she's saying. Su Jin look at him and they eyes met and locked.

Su Jin tip toe and she immediately kiss him on his lips. Woo Sung startled but he let her kiss him. When they're lips part way,  Su Jin open her eyes and gulped.  She feel her face becomes red and hotter. Woo Sung didn't speak as he try to absorb what happened.

"I hope... You believe me now... I like you, Woo Sung." She said and she immediately run inside their yard.

Woo Sung remain standing as he touch his lips. 'That woman... She always surprised me.. 'In his mind then he smile unknowingly.
