While You Were Sleeping

The Good, The Bad, The Weird part 2

Pianist So-yoon runs to school in the rain. She's a high school student and Little Bro is her classmate, and he runs up to her to ask after her mom. She coldly reminds him not to act like they know each other, but he says he was just worried about her.

He takes off his coat and puts it around her shoulders, sweetly pulling up the hood to shield her from the rain. She asks what his name is, and he gapes and says they've been in the same class for two years. She doesn't see why that means she should know his name, and runs off grinning. Dude, are they trolling us?

Jae-chan sighs when another ginormous stack of case files arrives at his office, and office manager Hyang-mi implies that he's slow to close cases compared to the other prosecutors. Investigator Chief Choi is more concerned with Jae-chan picking the right restaurant for the staff lunch, saying that it can be more important than his case record in the eyes of his superiors.

Jae-chan goes running to hoobae Hee-min for help, only to be squarely ignored when he calls after her, again in banmal. Yoo-bum is there with the chief prosecutor, and he tells Jae-chan that she outranks him now, so he should be addressing her formally by her title.

When Jae-chan says he was going to ask her advice on picking a restaurant, Yoo-bum rattles off a list of all the prosecutors' varying tastes like a know-it-all. He reaches up to pat Jae-chan on the head in his usual patronizing way, but this time Jae-chan grabs his arm and stops him, which the chief prosecutor finds rude. Yoo-bum plays it off, but senses the animosity from Jae-chan.

On the bus, the daughter grows more and more anxious that all these passengers could die. Dad quietly tells her that he'll pull over and make everyone get off the bus, citing mechanical failure.

While keeping an eye on the suspicious soldier, Dad pulls over and asks everyone to take the next bus because of a flat tire, and motions for his daughter to go with them. She hurries everyone away to safety and then breaks down in tears as she looks back at the bus with just Dad and the soldier still on it.

Dad smiles at her reassuringly and then asks the soldier to help him change the flat tire, but the agitated soldier tries to fight his way past Dad instead. In the struggle, the bomb in his duffle goes off, setting the bus ablaze. The daughter falls to her knees, crying out for her father.

Hong-joo wakes up from another dream in tears, and writes down the details: "Seung-won becomes a murderer because of his hyung." She doesn't know who Seung-won is, or why he becomes a killer. Aaack, please don't let it be who I think it is...

She adds the post-it to her wall of dream notes, but then remembers Jae-chan telling her to ignore her dreams if she can't handle them, and throws that one in the trash.

At school, Little Bro storms up to pianist So-yoon in front of all her friends, demanding to talk. She takes him to the gym and starts hitting him for not keeping his promise, but he shouts that he saw her doing an internet search on killing your own family members. Wow, that went dark fast.

He asks why she would do such a thing, guessing right away that she intends to kill her father. She bites back that she's trying to save her mother, but he argues that her father will be punished by the law.

She says her father will never face trial, "because prosecutors are stupid and lawyers are savage." She knows exactly how the lawyer will reduce the charge, and we see it play out just as she describes, as Yoo-bum brings new evidence into Jae-chan's office indicating that her mother's injuries were from skiing, days before the concert.

Little Bro says that her mother could still press charges, but she knows her mother will never do that because she's more afraid of her father than the law. Sure enough, her mother tells Jae-chan over the phone that she was injured from a skiing accident.
