Sook-Ja leans against Jung-Ho as they watch a group of kids roller skate. "Isn't that scary." She remarks as the kids start screaming in delight. "It is kinda scary." Jung-Ho admits, glancing at her briefly and smirks. "I will protect you." He whispers into her ear. Sook-Ja giggles and shakes her head. "I am not scared." She says,. "Then prove it." He challenges.
"How?" She asks, raising an eyebrow. "By riding on this ride." He says pointing at the roller coaster. "Fine," She says and jumps off running toward the roller coaster. Jung-Ho watches her run and chuckles. "You really are a child." He comments making her turn around. "Just because I am younger doesn't mean I can't enjoy roller coasters as well." She retorts, crossing her arms. "Hmm..." Jung-Ho hums as he observes her expression.

Jung-Ho buckled his seatbelt feeling nervous as he never tried roller coaster rides. He has always seen them in the movies or read about them but never tried it until now. His hands start to tremble uncontrollably and Sook-Ja notices it. "Relax, I promise it won't kill you." She reassures him trying to hide her amusement.
"Can you hold my hand?" He asks her nervously. She snickers. "What if I drop you?" She asks jokingly. "Don't worry, we will both go down. Together." He says smiling happily and holding tightly onto her hand. Her eyes widen in surprise and look at his face before letting out a quiet chuckle. "Yeah right...sure...I'M NOT SCARED." She says with a fake gasp, earning herself a small smile from him.

Jung-Ho screaming can be heard everywhere he catches everyone's attention towards him. "Stop, everyone is noticing you." Sook-Ja tries to calm him when they reach the top of the rollercoaster ride. "It's okay, you have nothing to worry about." Jung-Ho mumbles and tightens his grip on her hand.
He lets go of her hand once the ride stops and walks closer to the edge, looking at the ground below them. "Are you scared?" She asks, looking at him. He turns around facing her. "No." He replies. "Then what is with the fear of sweat?" She asks, looking down at the ground.
He stares at her for a moment taking her statement and thinks. "A little." He admits after a while. Sook-Ja smiles softly. "It will all be fine." She assures him. "Right," he mumbles slightly amused. "If it helps I am scared too." She adds and pats his arm reassuringly.

They continue their journey through the theme parks, enjoying themselves like any normal friends. "What should we do next?" He asks, looking at her. "There seems to be something very pretty over there." She points to some flowers near the lake. "What color is it?" "Pink," she answers. "I think that is beautiful." He replies smiling brightly at her. "Me too." She agrees while gazing at him.
~
After a while they decide to leave and drive back. "Do you remember the movie we saw last week?" Sook-Ja says randomly. "Which one?" He asks. "In that one where the girl falls in love with the guy who saved her." She tells him with a grin.
"Is the guy handsome?" He asks, making Sook-Ja laugh. "I'm pretty sure everyone is pretty attractive." She informs me. "Really?" He says surprised. She giggles again. "But no...the guy who helped her was really handsome." She tells him, still laughing softly. "Well I'm glad someone likes him." She replies still smiling broadly.

Sook-Ja drops herself on the couch and heaves a deep breath. "Are you tired?" He asks her with a concerned look as he goes to stand in front of her. "A little bit." She replies with a sheepish grin on her face. He frowns as he sits beside her. "Go get a bath, I'll go after you." He offers and she smiles gratefully at him before getting up and walking up to the bathroom. Once she was gone he sighs deeply before lying down on the couch with closed eyes.

Meanwhile, Do-Yun holds Ye-Rim's hand and pulls her closer. "I am sorry for yesterday." He states quietly. "It's okay. It's alright now." She replies gently. He looks at her for a few seconds before giving her a kiss on the forehead and wrapping her close. "Everything is going to be fine." He mutters.
~
Sook-Ja exits the bathroom and goes to the dressing table. She grabs a brush and starts brushing her hair. After she finishes brushing she takes her phone and unlock it. "He must be free now." Sook-Ja looks at Do-Yun's contact number and smiles. "I should call him." Sook-Ja immediately facetime him.
~
Do-Yun and Ye-Rim are watching a movie while cuddling with each other when Do-Yun's phone rings. Ye-Rim groans in annoyance and glares at him. "Sorry!" He apologises and puts his phone away.
After a few moments Do-Yun's phone starts ringing again. "Ya, why me always?" She says and about to leave but Do-Yun is fast enough to hold her. She drops on Do-Yun's lap and makes the phone fall on the table which causes the call to be received.
~
Sook-Ja's world shakes seeing her boyfriend with other women on facetime. Tears wells up in her eyes making her close her eyes. Her heart shatters as she hears him saying he loves her. "I love you Ye-Rim." His words catches her attention and Sook-Ja immediately looks at the screen. More she looks, the more her heart breaks into pieces. "I thought she was my sister." She says under her breath.
"They don't deserve you Sook-Ja." A sudden voice interprets her words and she turns around. "Jung-Ho?" She asks startled, tears threatening to spill. He approaches her slowly. "Don't cry." He speaks calmly, holding her hand. She sniffles. He wipes her tears away, cupping her cheek. She rests her head against his chest, hugging him tight, sobbing silently as she cries.
"You have to pay for it, Do-Yun." He says as he cuts off the call and pats her back gently.
~
Jung-Ho covers Sook-Ja with a blanket as she falls asleep while crying. "Shh..it's okay, everything is gonna be ok." He murmurs as he strokes her hair soothingly when she starts crying again. "I can't see you like this, Sook-Ja." He whispers, kissing her forehead and stroking her cheek tenderly, his eyes filling with tears when he realises how much pain his lover is feeling. "I will make his life miserable." He mutters angrily while caressing Sook-Ja's cheeks lovingly.

The sun rises in Busan, bathing the streets in bright light and casting shadows across the street and building. The sound of birds singing fills the air. Jung-Ho is still not feeling sleepy as he was with Sook-Ja the whole Night. But when his cell suddenly vibrates indicating a message, he slowly wakes up. He grabs his phone and opens the message.
[Sir, we did our job.]
He reads and closes his eyes letting out an exhausted breath. He looks at her sleeping form and caresses her hair. He leans down and kisses her forehead. "No one can hurt you like this again, I promise." He whispers kissing her forehead again then slowly leaves the bed to go to shower.
"Take my hand, I am here with you." He says in a deep husky voice catching her out of gaud. "I can't, I can't do it, please go. Save yourself." She yells back as the car's brakes fail.
"Dr, Dr. I can't see." While panicking she cries. "I am sorry Sir, she lost her eyes." His body gets numb and drops himself on the bench near him.
"But, you always said you love me." "I am sorry. I can't stay with you, it's about my whole life." "I always treated you like my sister. How could you do that to me?"
"Who's gonna earn money for us now grandpa?" Little boy says, glancing at his blind sister. "I wish I could die."
