She is in her office, sitting at her table going through some paper work. Pil-Yong is at his table discussing something with the intern. Their team manager gathers them for a meeting. "So we got the report, the body is still unidentified but the metal cuff it was wearing is exactly from 8 years before, it could be made around the time of murder". Everyone looks at its photo on the screen.
They finish work and leave one by one leaving Jiwon behind alone. She is still working on some past cases. She gets a text on her phone;

Husband:
Should I come pick you up?

Jiwon:
Can you? Where is Eunha?

Husband:
She insisted on visiting her grandmother. We will pick her on the way.

Jiwon:
I'll be waiting then.

Husband:
I'm already here

Jiwon:
I'm coming.

She picks her bag and some documents to go through at home and leaves the office.
She sees Hyunso waiting outside his car. She smiles as he approaches her.
She looks at him for a while without saying anything, Hyunso does the same.
"Should we go on a date?", She asks.
"Let's go then", he replies.

....

They are walking down a trail.

"Why are we here?", He asks.

"This is the place of our first date", she replies looking at him.

"How was it?", He asks.

"It rained that day"

"How was I back then?"

"You said you didn't like me but I knew that you did"

"How did you know? May be I was telling the truth".

She stops and faces him.

"You said that you would not wait for me. But you always did. You said, you will not come. But you always did. You said you were not a good person. But I hadn't see a better person than you"

She smiles and holds his hand. Her eyes moisten, she continues

"You always looked after me. Now it's time that I have to do the same for you".

She pauses for a moment.

"It may sound random but I you should know that it is for the best"

"What are you talking about?", He cuts her off.

"I'm letting you go", she continues.

His eyes become sober.

"What? ...Don't do this...Jiwon...I'll be good to you...I'll do whatever you tell me"

"Don't try too hard....it, hurts me watching you like that", she says with tears rolling down her face.

She lets go of his hand and retreats back to the car leaving him standing there.

She gets into the car and crys out her emotions. She knew she will miss him to an extent that she can't bare but for his good she has to let him go.
"He has to live for himself, he has to find himself", she says to herself calming down. She can see him standing there, still, he doesn't move an inch. His head hangs low...

Tears don't stop coming out of her face.

.....🎶My heart is pounding hazy memories.....
