Jae-eun played with her son on the floor. A knock was heard at the door. She stood up and walked towards the door. She looked out the window seeing who stood there. A man with a black face mask stood there. He dressed casual with a black hoodie and jeans. His hair slightly covered his face. She locked the top chain lock of the door, unlocking the bottom. "May I help you, sir?" "Jae-eun, its been a while." "I'm sorry, you have the wrong house." "I'm sure this is the right house." Jae-eun wondered where she'd heard the voice before. "You don't remember me?" "N-no." "Bang Yongnam."  Jae-eun mentally panicked remembering someone with a name similar to Yongnam's was convicted of murder. Feeling suspicious, Jae-eun tried to close the door, yet Yongnam put his arm in the way. She moved back as Yongnam tried to get in. Yongnam closed the door before shooting the lock. Jae-eun quickly grabbed Jin-soo and ran to her and Himchan's bedroom. She opened their closest, moving a drawer inside the closest. "Jin-soo hide here and don't come out no matter what, okay?" "Wait, what's going on-" "Jin-soo. Please." The boy went behind the drawer. She handed him the house phone,"If anything happens, call your dad. Got it?" The boy nodded before she closed the closet doors.

She went out of the bedroom, hiding behind the door frame near the front door. The door was open. She grabbed a small kitchen knife and hid behind the kitchen island. Jae-eun kept one hand over her mouth, trying to muffle and quiet her heavy breathing. Her heart started to beat faster as she heard footsteps near the kitchen. She moved around the island, keeping Yongnam blind to where she was.
Jin-soo, who's curiosity got the better of him, left the closet. He hid behind the door frame. Jae-eun noticed. She signaled for him to go back. Yongnam creeping up behind her simultaneously. Jin-soo looked at the man behind his mother. Jae-eun looked behind her as she saw Jin-soo's eyes looking behind her. Yongnam grabbed Jae-eun by her hair. He held a pocket knife up to her neck. He whispered into her ear,"Move and I not only kill you, but the kid to." The child cried. Jae-eun looked at Jin-soo,"Jin-soo it's okay. We're gonna be fine,okay?" Jae-eun lowered her head. She mouthed the words to Jin-soo,"When I say three, run... one. Two. Three."  She bit Yongnam's arm. He dropped the knife while wincing in pain. Jin-soo ran. Jae-eun grabbed the knife and ran after her child.

"She never gives up, does she." Yongnam grabbed his gun. He aimed for Jae-eun's leg, before pulling the trigger. He walked up to her fallen body. He bent down. Once Yongnam touched her, Jae-eun turned her torso, the knife in hand. She cut his forearm. "So annoying." Yongnam said. He aimed his gun at Jae-eun once again. Jae-eun looked at the gun, terrified. The gun went off.

"Jae-eun's been kidnapped by Yongnam?" Daehyun asked over phone. "Yes. I mean- Daehyun, I don't know what to do." "What do you mean 'you don't know what to do'? You always know what to do." "I mean how am I supposed to choose? One of them has to die." "Wouldn't it be best to tell-" "No, Daehyun. If we tell anyone about this case, it'll lead right back to Mr. Kim. He'll know what we've been doing this entire time." "Okay then. Wouldn't it just be better to pick Jae-eun then. Yes, I get Yongguk is innocent but, Jae-eun's your wife." Himchan hesitated in answering, as he didn't want anyone to know about his affair with Yongguk. "Himchan? Hello?" "Oh- I have to go." Himchan hung up.

Himchan went into the kitchen. He made a simple lunchbox. "Jin-soo put your shoes on. Your coming with me to work right now. There's something I have to do."

Himchan lead his child to his office,"Just stay here, okay?" Jin-soo nodded, terrified that if he disobeyed Himchan would also get hurt.

Himchan went down to the cell room, with the lunchbox. He paid no attention to the security camera. As he didn't care what happened to his career if anyone saw this. "Yongguk." Yongguk woke up from his slumber. He went towards the bars. Himchan unlocked the door. Expecting to see a bag being pushed in, Yongguk was puzzled as it was a lunchbox. He opened the top," You made this?" "If I didn't who else would?" Yongguk tried to hid a smile. He began eating.
Himchan stared at Yongguk as he ate. He felt peaceful. Silence.
"My wife was abducted... by your brother." Yongguk put his chopsticks down. "Himchan-" "It's okay. I'll get her back. Just finish eating." Yongguk felt uneasy as he attempted to finish the food. "I'm done." "Half the food is still there. You usually-" "I just don't have much of an appetite today." Himchan sighed before opening the cell door. He moved over on Yongguk, filling the space between their lips. He continued, the kiss turning from innocent to almost erotic. Himchan didn't care if the cameras caught this action, as he only wanted Yongguk to know it wasn't his fault. Himchan removed himself from Yongguk, a string of salvia still connecting. Yongguk covered his face in embarrassment, as he knew a blush was most likely spread across his face. "Yongguk. You don't need to be sorry. It's not your fault, okay?" "If I-" "Yongguk. I promise you, you had nothing to do with it. The only one at fault is me. I should've been there." "If I'm not allowed to blame myself tham neither are you." Himchan smiled before resting his forehead on Yongguk's. Yongguk initiated another kiss, instantly regretting because of the embarrassment. Himchan continued looking at Yongguk,"You're beautiful."
