She came into the house to pack her bags.

As she entered the house, her mother, who suffered from a level 1 hearing impairment, greeted her as always.

'Have a safe trip..'

The next morning, the man and woman were heading to their destination in a car driven by the man.

The car was filled with such cold air that the bright beat of the song on the radio was almost colorless, and there was no warmth to be found.

The only warmth inside the car was the direct sunlight.

The woman sat in the back seat, next to the man who was driving, leaving the passenger seat empty.

The structure further lowered the temperature inside the car.

The two arrived at the beach around sunset due to traffic congestion and unpacked at a nearby lodging.

And when we arrived at the beach, the sun was gradually disappearing from the horizon.

Even in such a beautiful landscape, the two still felt awkward and cold.

김주연

..I'm here...

She broke the coldness with one word.

What she said will be described in the next episode.

"I'm sorry.."

"I heard that when I was trying to rest..."

"I'm sorry too... Seongwoon."

"huh?"

"..Let's be happier together in the next life.."
