(Characters, incidents, organizations, and backdrops in this drama are fictitious.
The child actors and animals were filmed safely under the guardian supervision.)

Uncle, you said you'd protect me.

You promised me!

(Two days after Seo Ki Won went missing)

Everything has its rules.

For example, only the ones chosen
by the camera have a seal on them.

You brought a camera
when you came here.

You really don't remember
where you got it?

Didn't you see the
owner of the camera?

I don't know.

Just once. Just this once.

I'll send her away and close.

Look over here. I'll take one.

One more time.

When the shutter closes for the second time,
the dead either leaves to the netherworld or...

The gate of the dead closed.

Why won't you leave?

Little kid.

Are you not dead yet?

- Are you a living soul?
- What's a living soul?

Geez. What's this?

If that's what I am, I don't have to go?

How do you send a living soul away?

Hey.

You'd better put that down.

Little kid, how come you...

And exceptions always
come up in those rules.

- Who are you?
- Me?

Jang Soo.

How about you?

Go ahead and accept.

For example, the irregular
verbs I never thought I'd use.

♫ The bright rays of
sunshine are falling ♫

Put a seal on.

♫ They embrace me warmly ♫

Make a copy.

♫ As if I'm dreaming ♫

♫ It feels like that
whenever I'm with you ♫

♫ Just like going on
a trip somewhere far away ♫

♫ You make me feel
endlessly excited ♫

Sign.

See you tomorrow,

Mr. Seo.

♫ Just like sweet ice cream ♫

♫ My heart is beating ♫

♫ Oh, I love you ♫

♫ It's more precious than
any gift, like a dream ♫

♫ I feel like I can do
anything on the days we meet ♫

That woman...

What did she...

do just now?

(The Seventh Shot:
How to Use Irregular Verbs)

I must be crazy. I must be out of my mind.

I should've gotten paid instead.

What did I mean, "See you tomorrow"?
I see him right now.

Why did we have to live
in the same building?

How could he be so clueless?

Seriously.

Excuse me, Mr. Seo, why don't
you go home a little later?

Can't you see I'm walking
fast because I'm embarrassed?

I see that you want to disappear quickly.

If you know, why can't you just-

I'd like to, but a ghost has
been following you since earlier.

A ghost? W-Where?

- Where-
- Don't look back and keep walking.

This one looks worse than the
last one who starved to death.

Okay.

By the way, you shouldn't be so
far away if a ghost is following me-

You didn't have to come this close-

Don't get nervous.

The safe zone is active right now.

We have no choice since we
have to activate the safe zone.

I won't be here after 84 days.

You remember that I signed
a 100-day-long contract, right?

I won't be here for long.
It'd be just a hundred days.

I want you to protect me
for just a hundred days.

I'll return the rooftop
unit to you after that.

Pitcairn Islands.
Why are you going there?

Are you moving there, by chance?
Will you be gone for good?

- Are you going there to die or something?
- It's one of those.

So you rejected me because...

I mean, you're rejecting me again
because of a plan for a distant future?

There's no reason to waste time
when the ending is predictable.

So, you also don't have any
phone numbers for that reason?

Are you trying to put your past
behind and leave comfortably?

I knew you were strange,
but you were just a coward.

You never know. You might not want
to leave because you like me so much.

I'm sure that wouldn't happen.

Don't be so sure.

Life doesn't go as planned.

My life has never
deviated from someone's plan.

So we won't be seeing each other soon.

Let's just focus on our duties...

without crossing the line.

Did I suggest living together
or getting married?

Is it that hard for him to like me?

I won't cross that line out of spite.

I'm so embarrassed. Seriously...

Am I really that bad?

- What?
- We kissed, too.

Just give up.

You said you got rejected twice.

What's the deal?

Right. I got rejected twice.

Do I look clingy?

Very.

Anyway, let's have this constructive
talk over a drink later tonight.

I'm late. See you.

Oh, my phone.

Give me my phone. Thank you.

- Ji Won.
- Huh?

I'm so embarrassed.

Should we move?

Should I forget about work?

No, go, go, go. You need to go.

Don't stay out too late, pretty Ji Won.

Okay. How strange. They had flirtatious
looks in their eyes last time.

So embarrassing!

(Mr. Hope)

(Counselor Choi Hoon)

Yes, this is the
New Hope Counseling Center.

He doesn't like me, either.

He said he wanted me to die.

I have no one left, sir.

Ms. Hyeon Joo.

You must've had another tough day today.

Did you get some sleep?

I want to quit now.

I can't go on because I'm exhausted.

Ms. Hyeon Joo.

Ms. Hyeon Joo?

Where are you right now?

Counselor, what's your name?

You know I can't tell you
due to the policy. I'm sorry.

But this is my last time.

It's not the last time.

Ms. Hyeon Joo,

if you tell me where you are,
I'll tell you my name. So-

Thank you for listening
to me all this time.

I felt like dying because
I had no one to talk to,

but I felt less lonely thanks to you.

Thank you.

(Mr. Hope)

♫ There was no response to
the voice that resonated ♫

♫ I endured a day
trapped in long silence ♫

- Listen to me, Oppa-
- I'm so sick of you.

I wish you would just die.

♫ I blank out and think... ♫

Why did you come home?
No one's happy to see you.

I don't want to see you.
Don't ever show up again!

♫ I'm not used to spending
the night alone ♫

♫ I can still feel your
warmth so vividly ♫

(My Honey: Stop talking nonsense.
Don't ever contact me again.)

♫ Stay by my side ♫

♫ I still wonder why ♫

♫ Tell me why ♫

No!

What are you doing?

Let go of me. Let go!

I can't. You promised
to pull yourself through.

C-Counselor? Are you the counselor?

- How did you find me-
- Ms Na, it's dangerous there.

- Come here.
- I don't want to.

I hate living in Seoul,
where I have no one to open up to.

I hate those who smile in my
face and criticize me behind my back.

He lied when he said
he'd be on my side forever.

I feel like I'm going crazy.

- Why do I have to live?
- You promised me...

to call me at eight
every Tuesday and Thursday.

You need to keep that promise.

Ms. Hyeon Joo, stay right there.

Ms. Hyeon Joo, hold my hand. Hurry.

It's okay.

Here.

You climb over first.

What's wrong, Ms. Hyeon Joo?

- It's me. Look at me, Ms. Hyeon Joo.
- Go away!

Ms. Hyeon Joo, come to your senses.

- Ms. Hyeon Joo.
- Go away!

Sign.

(Safe Zone)

(Delete)

(Move the contact to trash?)

I knew you were strange,
but you were just a coward.

You never know. You might not want
to leave because you like me so much.

What's the difference?

Her name will get deleted soon anyway.

It will get deleted soon.

Don't worry.

I mean it. I mean it.

By the way, you found
that woman pretty, too, right?

(Safe Zone)

- Yes.
- Are you home, Mr. Seo?

Is something going on?
Is it a ghost again?

You'll receive a package
for me at the studio.

Please collect it for me.

Why should I be collecting your package?

- Yes, please put it here.
- Okay.

Here you go.

(Waybill)
Please put it inside the photo studio. Don't forget.

What's with her? Seriously.

Signature, please.

What signature?

The recipient needs to sign.

Oh, yes. I'm sorry.

Have a good day.

A desk and a file cabinet.

What's she planning to do, exactly?

Did you sign?

W-Why do I have to sign again?

Looks like you feel guilty
after rejecting me cruelly.

By the way, what are all these?

Oh, these?

I've been thinking.

This will allow us to
be as safe as possible.

So...

Ta-da. A shared office.
(Attorney Han Bom)

W-What office?

I got many commissions since the
Yoon So Myeong case. Big ones, even.

I need a space to work in,
but going to Kang sunbae's office

means ghosts could
show up again anytime.

And you won't follow me
everywhere and be my bodyguard.

So I decided to have my office right here.

I'll use it during the day,
and you'll use it at night.

You mean you'll start a
business at my business site?

Without the owner's permission?

Yes. You're using this
space as a cover anyway.

Let's share the space
since you have extra room.

I might not look it,
but I'm the landlord.

Forget it. I never missed a rent,
so get out of my shop.

You can't do this when
you're running an illegal business.

Did you register the
ghost photo studio as a business?

This is why they say,
"No good deed goes unpunished."

I shouldn't have cared if
you got eaten by a ghost or not.

Here. I kept it simple, so it's easy to understand.

(Written Agreement)
You understand everything, right?

"One. Seo Ki Joo and Han Bom are required
to protect each other as each other's safe zone.

Two. Seo Ki Joo will do his
best to fix Han Bom's eyes

and Han Bom will do her best
to protect Seo Ki Joo from ghosts.

Three. It's recommended the two remain
a minimum 40 cm distance for each other's safety.

Four. The last effective date
is the day Seo Ki Joo leaves."

Well... Do you have to go this far?

Yes.

Because...

we're only safe if
we're close to each other.

What are you doing? Sign.

Would you like a copy?

How much longer will you do this?

We're each doing our duties.

This close, right? 40 cm.

Yes, that looks about right.

Don't get further away, Mr. Seo.

I'll try not to get any closer.

Let's promise not to cross the line.

Let's keep work and life separate.

Oh, right, Mr. Seo. Cash is
the best business opening gift.

(Attorney Han Bom)

(Written Agreement)

She's such a strange woman.

(Written Agreement)

Good. I didn't look desperate.

I looked really cool.

(Written Agreement)

Wow, this woman has been
having a lot of fun.

How will she prepare for retirement?

Anyway, the kids these days-

- Hey, Intern.
- Yes.

Come.

You said you studied business
at Hanseo University, right?

- Yes.
- Okay.

Why don't you do this one thing for me?

(Theory of Business Administration)
My son has no time to do homework since he's job hunting.

You do it, okay?

Chief, I have to send the new products
to the bloggers for tasting by tomorrow.

Yes, you can do it quickly
in your free time.

He's telling you to burn
the midnight oil instead of going home.

Here.

(Three years ago)

Manager Go, you said you had
the final interview with TK, right?

(Resume)
My daughter is applying there,

but she's too young and clueless.

Should I look up some
personal essay samples-

Don't make it complicated.
Just write it for her, Deputy Go.

Pardon?

I said, "Deputy Go."

I misspoke.

Is your promotion evaluation
next month, Manager Go?

Yes.

There won't be an issue as long
as the performance review is good.

You know who's giving you the review, right?

(Theory of Business Administration)

You aren't going to do it, right?

Chief.

What?

I'm a master of homework.

- I'll do it quickly.
- Nice.

That's the spirit, Intern!

What do you mean?
Why would you do that?

Dad will take care of it.
Don't worry about it.

Don't worry. Okay.

Goodness, what kind of prick
asks someone to do their homework?

The ones who used to copy others'
homework and made someone else do the work

grow up to copy thesis
papers and con people.

Huh? What?

It was his father who asked to do it?

You've got to be kidding me.

Does he want to ruin his child's life?

I'm sure he harasses his
employees at work, too. Geez.

Someone like him should
go off and die alone.

Why won't ghosts take someone like him away?

What are you doing-

Gosh, I'm sorry.

Someone got caught copying homework
at my granddaughter's kindergarten.

I don't know whose son he is,
but he sounds like a lost cause, huh?

- Ahjumma!
- Aigoo, what do I do?

It really stinks.

Gosh, it stinks.

What are you doing? What are you doing...

What floor are you going to? Ahjumma!

They have been having
a hard time with drunk people.

But they're having
a special visitor this time.

In the morning of the 20th,
at the police station...

You guys can eat this if I do this?

Yes.

- Like this?
- One more time.

One more time?

- One more time.
- One more time?

Wow, this is so neat.

Can ghosts taste things, too?

We're dead, but our senses are still active.

We just don't have bodies.

Wait a minute.

Sprite, please.

Who got food delivered here?

Don't you know I hate the
smell of food in the studio?

You came.

You came to work late.

- You haven't left yet?
- No.

I'm having dinner with my neighbors.

It was Ms. Han's treat as a neighbor.

My goodness. Aren't you going to work?

Mr. Seo, Mr. Seo, Mr. Seo.

You should have a bite, too.

I know you haven't had dinner.

Take just a bite. Just a bite.

It's still 15 minutes before the sunset.

The days are long because it's summer.

- Deputy Go.
- Yes?

I have a question.

How could you wait three years for a blind date
when you can't remember her name or face?

My last memory right before
I died was going out to meet her.

But I don't know why I pictured your face.

- I think I know.
- What is it?

She must've been very beautiful like me.

There's no doubt about that. Right.

Mr. Seo, why can't you
look at Ms. Han in her eyes?

Huh? You're right.

Did something happen to you two, by chance?

Why are you suddenly blushing?

Oh, oh, oh, oh? You're right.

What happening?
I-It's because of the safe zone.

Maintaining a safe distance.
Don't you know?

Eat quickly and come inside.

Don't be like that and have some. Here.

You always get beat up by the
evil spirits because you're so weak.

When did I ever get beat up?

Whoa, whoa... Sit further
away from each other.

I-I feel unsafe right now.

Maintaining a safe distance. Don't you know?

Oh, sorry.

There. Better, right?

Here's the next story.

Chief Prosecutor Lee Hyeon Oh of the Eastern District
Prosecutors' Office was nominated as the minister of justice.

This happened 58 days after Seok Mi Gyu,
the former minister of justice, resigned.

Reporter Kim Jae Min is here to report.

President Han Seung Cheol
stressed equality and justice

while nominating Lee Hyeon Oh.

With equal and just enforcement of law,
I won't leave anyone behind...

- They're all the same.
- and make sure no one is treated unjustly...

A man who tried to save
a woman attempting suicide on a bridge

lost his life due to
an unfortunate accident.

The man was in his 20s and
volunteered at a suicide prevention center.

ONA's reporter Yoon Ha Yeong
will explain the situation.

This is footage of a bridge at
the Han River late afternoon on the 10th.

A woman is standing
on the edge of the railing.

A man hurried over to stop her.

She appears to be hesitating
momentarily after talking to him.

She ends up pushing him
into the river and runs away.

How could she do that to
someone who tried to save her?

I know. It couldn't have been
easy for him to go and try to save her.

Hold on.

Doesn't she look kind of strange?

It's that pattern I'm
thinking of, right, Mr. Seo?

So Myeong was killed by
an evil spirit the same way.

I think it's worth investigating.

- It's almost time now.
- To determine the cause of his death...

We should prepare to open.

the police will be looking
for the woman who ran away.

I'm ONA's Yoon Ha Yeong.

Only authorized personnel are allowed in here.

Please don't cross the line.

Well, you might need the safe zone.

The studio itself is a safe zone.

That stupid line of his. I swear
I'll cross that line someday.

Ever since I was a kid, I always had
to cross the line my desk buddy created.

Mr. Seo, why are you so mean to her?

Be honest with me.
You did something wrong, didn't you?

She's the one who did something wrong.
She kissed me out of the blue-

K-Ki-what?

- Ki...
- Ki?

She suddenly kicked me.

Geez. Why would Ms. Han kick you?

She kissed him, more like.

Cut the nonsense and prepare
to receive the customer.

You've never kissed, Mr. Seo?

I'm not happy with you today, okay?

TV...

The man from TV, right?

Na Hyeon Joo.

I need to find Ms. Na Hyeon Joo.

It's peppermint tea.

It'd help you explain.

Thank you.

Ms. Na Hyeon Joo...

was my client I was assigned to...

six months ago.

(New Hope Counseling Center)

Yes, this is the
New Hope Counseling Center...

I'm lonely.

I have no one.

I have no reason to go on, either.

I don't want to do anything.

It must've been very difficult.

Ms. Hyeon Joo. It's Ms. Hyeon Joo, right?

Ms. Hyeon Joo,

I won't dare say I understand,

but I'd like to say cheer up.

Tomorrow will be better.

What if it isn't?

I've been waiting every day,
hoping it will be better.

But no matter how long I waited,
nothing has changed.

Every day is hell to me.

Give me a call tomorrow, then.

- Pardon?
- Once you start talking to someone,

tomorrow will become better than today.

Tomorrow at eight.

I'll be waiting.

Be sure to call me.

(Five minutes to eight)

Eight in the evening
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Exactly for 15 minutes.

That was the time
to save Ms. Hyeon Joo.

The reason for her
to wake up tomorrow.

That was...

the reason we met.

Yes, this is New Hope Counseling Center...

Ms. Hyeon Joo?

(This is delicious and easy to make...)

(Drain the washed chicken on the colander...)

I followed the recipe from the
YouTube video you sent me. It was so tasty.

Did you try it?

It's so good, right?

You have to make the fried rice, too.

Now that I have eaten this,

I'll have to live another
day to make it worthwhile.

I'm so glad that you tried it.
(Call details: Na Hyeon Joo)

Counselor, I have a new boyfriend.

Daebak. Is that true, Ms. Hyeon Joo?

Wow, I'm so happy for you.

I'll try to live as diligently as I can.

I'm so happy.

Ms. Hyeon Joo stopped
calling me so often.

It made me so happy.

Counselor...

my boyfriend wants to break up.

It must've been so tough.

He called me shameless and scary.

He won't even answer my calls.

He was everything to me.

But he wants me to die.

How could he say something like that?

You didn't do anything wrong.

Don't worry. You have me.

I'll be there to support you.

I should've noticed it sooner.

She's been signaling for help all this time.

I'm not qualified as a counselor.

How is that your fault?

You sacrificed to save a precious life.

You did your best, Mr. Choi.

I would've stuck around
to take revenge on her.

Ask us anything.
We'll help you with anything.

- Deputy Go.
- Yes?

What kind of memory do
you want to bring with you?

My last...

counseling session with her.

I want to talk to
Ms. Hyeon Joo one last time.

I'm already dead, after all.

I want her to be
happy since she's alive.

Before she makes
the wrong decision, please...

Please...

find her for me.

Gosh, he's so cool.

Seriously...

Quiet. Quiet.

He's been eating the
food I left every night.

No human could've done that.

- It must've been a ghost.
- Aigoo.

But no one cares that a cat died.

I hear you, ma'am. I'll call
Misoo Police Station and look into it further.

Don't worry and go home for now, okay?

You have high blood pressure, too.

Let's get up.

I don't trust the police,

but I trust you, officer.

Yes, okay.

- I'm counting on you.
- Yes, yes.

Don't worry. Come this way.

Careful. Careful.

Aigoo, have you been
taking complaints all night?

Because of you, people think this is a
neighborhood substation, not the criminal division.

Hey, she lives alone. Someone has to talk to her.

This is the fifth one this month already.

Maybe the people who hated
the cat caretaker killed them.

There were few cases like that.

Don't you think it's
a bit different this time?

Maybe they were possessed.

Nabi.

Ahrong.

Pippi.

Oh, no! My goodness.

You killed my babies, didn't you?

Let me look at this sicko's face.

Since they're struggling financially,

I think they're burdened by the legal fee.

Hoon, if I could be of help,

I'd like to represent them pro bono.

Really? I'd appreciate that.

I had to say goodbye to so many of them.

What are you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize it
because I was so happy.

Attorney Han agreed to defend

clients at our center who
need legal help free of charge.

I'm sorry. I must've startled you.

Not at all, Hoon.

I'm honored to be of help.

I'll go and see my clients
for the last time, then.

I think I could leave comfortably
if I could see them from a distance.

Well, then.

Why didn't you tell me he was here?

I almost missed him.

Hoon?

Since when did you call him that?

And free legal service?

Didn't you say you'll
charge me for everything?

He's handsome, nice,
and has a strong sense of duty.

Of course, I won't charge someone like him.

How about me? You mean I'm not like that?

He's totally different from you.

Just look at him. He came all the way
here to be responsible for his clients.

But you always get angry at the ghosts,
kick them out, and have no sense of duty.

Gosh, you can't be more different from him.

I've treated the visitors the best way I can.

How about my advance?

- Pardon?
- I want you to respond to...

my advance as best as you can.

With a sense of duty.

Is anyone in there?

Is anyone in there?

Yes, Hye Jin. What are you up to?

Yes, yes. I'm free.

What do you think of this?

Why did she suddenly change her mind?

(Police Line - Investigation in progress)

It didn't appear to be a water ghost.

Mr. Seo Ki Joo?

Sir, this is a crime scene. Come down.

Get out of there.

I'm sorry.

I was on a walk. Isn't it such a nice day?

Oh, yes. It is.

And?

I got to enjoy the scenery. I'll leave now.

By the way, you came this far for a walk?

I remember you lived in Yongmoon-gu.

You need to walk to live long.

That's true.

By the way, did you locate
the woman who ran away?

I hope you find her soon.

No, not yet.

But why are you curious about that?

No reason.

It's getting windy.

What's with him?

Possessing someone is...

They show it on TV a lot, but

it's not so easy to do.

- Yes, I'm sure-
- It requires...

a very high level of concentration.

Not everyone can do it.

You need at least three years
of experience in this world.

Let me explain it in a simple way.

Choose a target.

Focus.

When you notice a crack, enter!

What are you doing?
He'll be leaving soon.

Pardon?

Well, I was training
him since he just died-

- Possessing training.
- Yes.

Move. That's my spot.

Pardon?

Since when?

Starting now.

There are other seats.

Did you find Ms. Hyeon Joo?

By the way, why do you
think she suddenly changed?

It looked like she was
trying to hold your hand.

I find that so strange, too.

She pushed me as if she
had become someone else.

Are you okay, Hoon?

Hoon.

M-My goodness. Are you okay, Visitor?

You must be in shock.

Breathe. Breathe.

Let's rest somewhere warm.

Can you get up?

This way.

Is Mr. Choi okay?

You must be worried about him a lot.

Because your pro bono client is sick.

Don't trust the ghosts too much.

Visitors who come here
don't always tell the truth.

Mr. Seo, are you jealous by chance?

Jealous, my foot.

I'm not like that.

I see. That's why you're
leaving for the Pitcairn Islands.

Because you're sick
of humans and ghosts.

But they have no convenience
stores or delivery services.

I'm sure you'd get really, really bored.

You see the missing person's flyer, right?

That's my uncle.

We promised to go there together.

But your uncle is-

He's been missing for 20 years.

And I'm still looking for him.

I'll go alone if I fail to find him.

I'm sure it's special
since he wanted to go there.

(Missing person -
Seo Ki Won, male, 35 years old)

Hey! Hey, Intern! Come here!

I said to do his homework. Not plagiarize!

My son is about to be on academic probation!

I didn't plagiarize. It's mine.

What are you talking about?
I heard Happy Campus bought it.

Yes. It's my A+ essay
I posted on Happy Campus.

Was it still up there?

You did this on purpose to screw me, huh?

My gosh, how could I dare do that?

Whatever! Redo it by the end of the day.

Redo it. Do it properly.

Chief, I told you I'll
take the afternoon off today.

Take the afternoon off?
Hey, who does that around here?

Is that important right now?
Where do you think you're going after doing this?

I really need to go. I'm sorry.

I'll work double when
I come back. I'm sorry!

Hey, catch her. Hey!

Where are you going during work hours?

(Date)

Gosh, I'll be late.

Are you going on a date during work hours?

Man, okay.

(Saebyeot Hospital)

She must be dating a doctor.

That's how she's been
traveling overseas with her salary.

Geez, I don't like her.

- Ms. Kim Ji Won.
- Yes.

Huh?

He's much older than her.

(Hemato-oncologist Kim Jong Chan)

It definitely reduced a lot.

We need to keep an eye on
it to determine if it's temporary.

Since there hasn't been a case like this.

How about the new cancer
treatment I mentioned before?

It'd be nice if you did it a few more times.

I wanted to live even by taking the
new medicine that's not covered by insurance.

When I withdrew my installment
savings for chemo, I thought this.

"I can only live another year
even if I spend all this money.

I might as well have fun and use
it to travel around the world."

I still feel the same way.

If this really is a miracle,
I'll try hanging in there.

It's quite costly to sustain a miracle.

But Doctor, I'm going through
something worse than cancer right now.

You must know since you've been
through it. The awful life as an intern.

You can't stress out. Don't overdo it.

You can relapse anytime.

The next date is next month, right?

- Date?
- When I don't feel like coming to the hospital,

I think of it as a date,
and I feel a bit better.

I'll see you on our next date.

What a foolish woman.

How dare she make me
go up the mountain top?

I can't believe I'm
bringing this for her here.

You came, Sunbae. Gosh.

Wait. Over here.

Aigoo, you came, Attorney Kang.

Have a seat.

What kind of law firm is on a mountain?

Mountain, my foot. It's just a bit hilly.

I'll save my breath.

By the way, is this a law firm?

It looks like a photo studio.

It is a photo studio. It's a shared office.

A law firm next to a photo studio.

Are you struggling a lot lately?

Did you go crazy because Lee Hyeon Oh
is becoming the Justice Minister?

Why are you bringing that up now?

Because I feel bad for you.

He'd become the president at this rate.
What will you do?

- So why did you ask me to come all the way here?
- Right.

(New Hope Counseling Center Counseling History)

Take on a few pro bono cases, Sunbae.

It's too much for me to do it alone.

(New Hope Counseling Center Counseling History)

- Pro bono?
- Yes.

- Pro bono?
- Sounds good, right?

Pro bono, my foot!

Hey, Han Bom.
You need to know your place.

It's really hard to make
a living by doing pro bono cases.

Sunbae, you know Choi Hoon, right?

You know, the man who died trying
to save a woman attempting suicide.

Yes, of course.
He's a national hero right now.

These are his clients.

Please help me out.

Why suddenly work for a dead person?

Did you know him?

Well, no. It's not that...

I wanted to be helpful
since everyone works so hard.

(Hanyeoreum Student Apartments)

I found out where Na Hyeon Joo is.

Hanyeoreum Student Apartments.

By chance, are you Ms. Na Hyeon Joo...

Ms. Na Hyeon Joo.

Is it true that you found Hyeon Joo?

Have a seat for now.

Where is she?

Is Hyeon Joo okay?

Did she get injured at all?

Where was she all this time?

By the way, since when did
you call her "Hyeon Joo"?

Didn't you say you saw her for
the first time on the day you died?

Did I say that?

I was just so excited.

Where's Ms. Hyeon Joo right now?

Those shoes.

I knew they looked familiar.

I saw them at Ms. Hyeon Joo's place.

I found that so strange.

The place was a mess as if
she had run away in a hurry,

but only those shoes
were placed there neatly.

As if someone put them
there after she left.

H.H.

They aren't Ms. Hyeon Joo's initials.

Choi Hoon. They aren't your initials, either.

Choi Hoon and Hyeon Joo.

Are they your combined initials?

It's true.

I killed him.

Why did you do that?

Because that bastard was a stalker!

I reported him multiple times,
asking for help.

I kept finding unfamiliar objects at home.

But they said I'm overreacting
and making things up.

They didn't even listen to me.

Are you sure you weren't mistaken?

The shoes.

A woman who lives alone needs
a pair of men's shoes at home.

I kept throwing them away,

but the same pairs were sent to me.

- Ms. Hyeon Joo.
- Don't come.

Go away!

No!

- Ms. Hyeon Joo.
- Don't come!

I wasn't trying to kill him.

I should've died that day instead.

I wish I didn't know at all.

You've wanted...

Ms. Hyeon Joo to be happy.

You just need to disappear.

This is the last chance I'm giving you.

Get your photo taken...

while I'm asking you nicely.

Hyeon Joo needs to be with me to become happy.

Where's that woman?

Where's she?

Give me her address!

I won't bother saying
"One, two, three" to you.

Mr. Seo, are you okay?

This is why they say not
to trust anyone easily.

How could that visitor...

We have to catch him before the gate of the dead closes.
(Safe Zone)

You're right. We need to.

Or other people might be
in danger, not only Hyeon Joo.

He couldn't have gone far since
he died less than three days ago.

Mr. Seo, who do you keep calling?

Ms. Han. She doesn't know what's happened yet.

Please pick up the phone.
(Safe Zone)

Bom, why didn't you answer?
Do you know how worried I was?

You were worried.

Of course, I was. Why wouldn't I?

I'm glad you were worried about this woman.

Who are you?

When did you find out?

I thought I fooled you
perfectly from the beginning.

Choi Hoon?

You said it was a
photo studio for visitors.

How dare you try to kill one?

You'd better...

leave her body immediately.

What should I do with this woman?

Whether she'll live or die is up to you.

Hey, Choi Hoon!

Tell me where she is. Na Hyeon Joo.

♫ Because I couldn't figure
out what I could do for you ♫

♫ Because I feel too bad for you ♫

♫ I picture you being with me in every moment ♫

(The Midnight Studio)

See this woman die here or
bring Na Hyeon Joo to me. Choose.

We might become evil spirits
if we stay here for too long.

I'll make sure to achieve
all of these before I go.

I could see why you were
resentful and couldn't leave.

You should've come back to me, dummy...

If you really like someone,
you make sure they don't become unhappy.

That's why you should protect me.

I don't protect or save just anyone, either.
