Thoroughly confused by Deok-mi’s words, Ryan goes home and tries not to call her. In her apartment, Deok-mi waits for his call. That night, she dreams about a memory from her childhood—of letting go of another kid’s hand the way she’d let go of Ryan’s. The next day, Deok-mi recounts everything to Seon-joo and the two trash talk Ryan. When he pulls up in front of Seon-joo’s cafe, Deok-mi rushes to hide. Seon-joo curtly informs Ryan that she’s out of milk and he leaves empty-handed.
