Coming home late from work, climbing the stairs, almost reaching the apartment door, views Myeol Mang opening the door, head down, shoulders slumped. She inquires, "Are you going somewhere?" Seeming down, eyes darkened, says, "Yeah, to work." Turning quickly, grabs hold of his sleeve before he can escape, brown eyes pleading says, "W-wait." Surprised, gazes into her soft eyes, asks, "Why?" Meeting his puzzled dark eyes, simply responds, "Let's go together." Too many times, she has seen the pained look in his eyes, around his lips, robbing him of his handsome looks.

Sitting on a small hill, overlook a tiny village, townsfolk gather in center of town, escorting a bridegroom, yelling out, "Buy Haam!" It seems this is an old tradition of sending a box of wedding gifts to the bride before the wedding. Dong Kyung watches, amazed, hard to believe, as she has only seen this on television.

Intently gazing down at the people, he says, "He's heading for doom. Not breathing is not the only form of dying. That's also dying. You can't see things that you were able to see everyday. It's my job to watch over that as well."
Sitting next to him, listening quietly to his words, watches his face, softly says, "It's pretty and sad."
He agrees, nods, "Transient things are generally beautiful."
She asks, "Do you know what a supernova is? At the moment a star dies, it shines very brightly as it disappears. But that becomes energy for a new star to be born. And it becomes a star again. Isn't like that? That and you."
Smiling, looking down the hillside, teases, "Don't comfort me. It doesn't help."
Sitting quietly, they gaze into dark night sky, each lost in their own thoughts. Gaining courage, he softly speaks words, coming from his heart, expressing some of his true thoughts, but still holds back other emotions…
