Sohye was walking through the park. She was taking her puppy on a walk. After Mingyu passed away, Nayoung gifted her with a Golden Retriever puppy named Maximus- Max for short- because she thought she could use the company. Sohye was grateful, and soon, most of her free time was occupied by her little golden bundle of joy.

As she walked through the park, she got a notification. She checked her phone and saw that it was a text from Mingyu's old manager. After Mingyu passed away, she and his manager became friends, and they met up whenever times got rough. They sent her a link to Mingyu's posthumous final shoot. Sohye stared at the pictures of her love as she continued walking.

Suddenly, Max took off running, and before she could react, Max's leash slipped out of her hand.

"Max! Come back!" Sohye yelled as she ran after her puppy.

Sohye continued to chase Max. She was losing her breath. This puppy really knew how to run. She didn't know why Max suddenly took off, but as she continued to run after him, she realized that there was a freaking squirrel that Max wanted to catch. Sohye tried to speed up, but as she did, so did the squirrel, and so did Max.

Finally, Max was captured by a man who happened to be in the right place at the right time. Sohye slowed down to a jog and was able to catch up to her runaway puppy. She was completely out of breath and nearly collapsed to the ground. The man petted Max as Sohye caught her breath and stood upright once more. She leaned down and grabbed Max's leash. Max, for some reason, decided that he loved the man and tackled him to the ground. He covered him with kisses, his tail wagging rapidly as the man laughed and tried to get up.

"Thanks for catching him," Sohye chuckled as thanked the man on the ground.

"No problem," a familiar voice spoke.

Sohye looked down at the man, and the man looked up. Sohye gasped and covered her mouth as she realized who it was. The man on the ground also recognized her, his eyes widening. He stood up and brushed down his pants. They continued to stare at each other, Max staring at both adults happily, his tail continuing to rapidly wag.

"Sohye?" Wonwoo asked.

"Wonwoo," Sohye breathed out.
