I dedicate myself to you.

Jihoon had a heartbroken expression on his face the whole time he was talking.

Woojin, who told the story silently

The feeling of Ji-Hoon, who is next to me and tells stories that seem like they only come out of a movie, feeling like a distant person

Woojin becomes bitter

Did those eyes reach Jihoon?

Tears well up in Ji-hoon's eyes and fall down.

박지훈

I know... why do you look at me like that... but I don't want to live like this either...

박지훈

I had no choice...so I was born into that house...

Ji-hoon, unable to contain his emotions, cries like a child.

Jihoon's appearance, which seems to shrink as if he is being pushed into a corner just by looking at him

Woojin, who had been sighing in regret, got up and wrapped Jihoon's face in his arms.

박우진

Are you stupid...?

박우진

What do you know, honey? Why are you struggling alone? Are you saying you're weak and will get angry?

As Woojin pours out his sorrow, which is getting worse as he talks, Woojin opens his mouth and strokes Jihoon's head.

박우진

Stop crying, Park Ji Hoon.. It hurts my heart..

Ji-hoon, who was embarrassed after comforting him like that and crying in Woo-jin's arms, sat with his body turned away and didn't open his mouth once.

박우진

hey

박지훈

...

박우진

Ah...what is it, Park Ji-hoon?

When I tap Ji-Hoon, he flinches and answers.

박지훈

Ah.. it's embarrassing, so just leave it alone

Woojin nods and smiles at Jihoon's words. He pats Jihoon's back a couple of times and opens his mouth.

박우진

Okay.. I'll go buy some water.

After Woojin left, Jihoon lowered his head and ruffled his hair.

Still, he let out a sly smile, as if he was gaining strength from Woo Jin-deok's comfort.

Woojin, who was buying drinks, ran into Sejong and Hani, who had just received treatment.

In the quiet hallway, Hani cautiously opened her mouth amidst the silence of the three people.

하니

Joker...are you okay?

박우진

..Yeah, he's still unconscious, but the surgery went well.

박우진

Go in first. I have something to talk to that person.

Hani sees Sejong in Woojin's words

Then Sejong nodded and let Hani in, looking at Woojin.

박우진

... I gave it all to Jihoon

박우진

First of all... I know he's my older brother...

세종

What do you want to say?

박우진

Misunderstanding... I don't understand that family or anything, and I have no intention of understanding it...

박우진

I'm upset that Park Yeo-ju ended up like that, but... I think it must have been hard for you, hyung. I'm sorry for saying that.

박우진

I want to apologize.. and I want to stop hurting the heroine from now on.

Woojin, who is saying words that could be considered a confession, but not a confession.

Sejong tilts his head while looking at Woojin

세종

..now..is this a confession?

박우진

Ah... it's like a declaration of war.

박우진

Now that something like this has happened, I understand. Park Yeo-ju is important to me, so I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again.

세종

You know I was Yeoju's older brother, right?

박우진

Oh... right..?

Sejong is flustered as the development unfolds in a rather unexpected way.

세종

what...

Woojin, who was chuckling while looking at Sejong who was flustered, takes out a drink and puts it in Sejong's hand.

박우진

This is an apology for my actions so far and a bribe to ask you to be kind to me, Yeoju Oppa.

박우진

Then I will go in first.

Sejong, who had been blankly looking at Woojin, mutters to himself while left alone in the hallway.

세종

I think I just... ate a piece of cake.
