I tried to run away 3

Looking haunted, Assemblyman Choi admits that he loved her a lot, and that he did her wrong in a lot of ways. Madam Song is impressed, and asks Assmeblyman Choi's permission to like him, but he doesn't give it. He refuses to let any more women in his life.

Ji-tae's mother waits at home for her husband, and her assistant calls to report on Assemblyman Choi's whereabouts. Over at her restaurant, Joon-young's mother is lost in thought, and at Joon-young's house, Ji-tae rings the doorbell.

While Joon-young stares at Ji-tae on the security camera, Eul tosses Pororo a sausage, apologizing for making him stay out in the cold. She promises him that she'll take medicine next time, which, awww. She wonders if she'll be able to continue filming Joon-young's documentary, now that all his fans are out to get her.

When Joon-young doesn't answer the door, Ji-tae just talks to the camera instead. He says that the reporters are gone so he can let Eul go now, growing angry, and Joon-young quickly turns off the screen when Eul comes inside.

Joon-young quickly says, "Rock paper scissors!" and Eul reflexively throws out paper, losing to Joon-young's scissors and getting stuck with the dishes. Na-ri calls her now that her phone is charged and asks if she's seen the news, yammering that Joon-young must be crazy.

Joon-young goes outside to talk to Ji-tae, who is now banging on the wall to try to get Eul's attention. Joon-young says, through the wall, that he's not letting Eul go, that he plans to keep her. Ji-tae says that Eul isn't a thing, but Joon-young continues that Ji-tae let go of her hand, so he needs to stop regretting his choice and stay away from her.

Ji-tae agrees that he doesn't deserve her, but Joon-young is even worse than he is. Thinking about what Joon-young did to Eul, how can he even look her in the eye and say he likes her? He's referring to Joon-young causing Eul's accident and nearly killing her, and Joon-young knows it.

Eul comes outside and calls to Joon-young, unable to see Ji-tae on the other side of the wall. Ji-tae listens while Joon-young lies that he reporters are still here, but Eul wants to talk about Joon-young's supposedly dating Yuna.

This is the first he's heard of this, and Eul tells him that the story came straight from his agent and that she's supposedly just a tool to deflect attention from his real girlfriend. Joon-young denies it, but Eul believes the story, thinking there's no way he would really like her.

She doesn't listen to Joon-young's continued denials, and reverts to her old tricks, demanding money for her emotional trauma. She starts to storm off and Joon-young stops her, telling her to listen to him and not anyone else. He stops her from walking away again, and looks her right in the eye: "I love you. I love you, Eul-ah."

But she still doesn't believe him, blaming his acting skills for his ability to say such a ridiculous thing. With tears in his eyes and voice, Joon-young repeats himself, but though Eul looks as though she badly wants to believe him, she remembers that Jik warned her to be careful around him.

Crying, she repeats her brother's words that they live in different worlds now, and that she shouldn't get confused by his attention. She yanks her arm from Joon-young's grasp, and yells that she's the crazy one.

Unable to hold back anymore, Joon-young grabs Eul's face and kisses her.
