Ji Hu and Gu Won walked side-by-side into his office, he decided to show her the clock room. Ji Hu was focused on Gu Won, making sure he was okay after their talk during the performance. "It was a beautiful performance. I understand why you're obsessed with tradition." Ji Hu said as she looked around the clock room. "About the human version of you,"

Gu Won cleared his throat. "Seo Yi Sun." Ji Hu looked back at Gu Won. "That was my name."

Ji Hu turned to face Gu Won. "Seo Yi Sun." Ji Hu nodded. "I like it, but what happened to him in the end, Gu Won?"

Gu Won shoved his hands into the pockets of his jacket. "He took his own life. He did it so that he wouldn't go to heaven. He didn't want to go anyway. Nor did he deserve to." Gu Won explained.

Ji Hu stepped forward, wrapping her arms around Gu Won. "You lied through your teeth." Ji Hu pointed out as she pulled away. Her hands remained on Gu Won's shoulders. "You said it was neither a happy nor sad ending." Ji Hu said.

"This time, I'll make it a happy ending." Gu Won stated. Gu Won held up his hand, which Ji Hu gave him a curious look about. The lights went out around them. As Gu Won opened his hand, there was a lone firefly in the palm. Ji Hu stared at the firefly, a grin appearing on her face. When she lifted her head up as the firefly flew out of Gu Won's hand, she saw the clock room was filled with fireflies.

Ji Hu stared at the fireflies with a bright smile on her face. "How'd you know I love fireflies, Gu Won? That's not something that comes up in conversation." Ji Hu said.

"Lucky guess." Gu Won said as he stared at Ji Hu's excited face. Ji Hu wasn't sure how Gu Won guessed that correctly, but she was truly enjoying herself. It was wonderful to see fireflies. She remembered she used to run around the backyard with Do Hee, catching fireflies during the summer. Ji Hu hadn't seen a firefly in quite some time.

Ji Hu was passed out on the bed, almost in the starfish position after Gu Won left. Ji Hu barely had the covers over her. Gu Won entered, walking over to the bed. He leaned down, whispering near her ear, "Ji Hu, time to wake up."

Ji Hu reached over, placing her hand on Gu Won's face. "Five more minutes." She muttered, keeping her hand in place while the other searched for the covers to cover her face.

Gu Won chuckled, removing Ji Hu's hand from his face. "Let's have some homemade food like you wanted." Ji Hu's eyes cracked open, giving Gu Won a skeptical look. She repeated the words "homemade food" to him, not believing him.

"Really?"

Gu Won nodded.

Ji Hu was still skeptical as she got up from the bed. She walked in front of Gu Won, heading into the kitchen. She stopped in front of the blank dining table. She looked back at Gu Won. "Gu Won,"

"Close your eyes for a second." Ji Hu didn't plan on humoring Gu Won but he insisted. Ji Hu closed her eyes, however she peeked. She watched Gu Won grabbing the tablecloth. As the cloth settled back down onto the table, breakfast appeared before them.

Ji Hu knew to be skeptical. However, it was the thought that counted. "I'm happy that you remembered I wanted homemade food, however the thought of you cooking in the kitchen came to mind." Ji Hu said.

"Of course, I remembered – I never forget anything you say." Gu Won said. Ji Hu cleared her throat before hugging him, going to try to forget everything she had said to him since they got together. Ji Hu looked at the food that Gu Won "prepared." "Shall we?"
