Hindi alam nina Momo at Sana kung sino ang kokontakin nila tungkol sa nangyari kay Mina. She's nowhere to be found! Sinundan nila si Mina pero di na nila naabutan pa.
They roam around the place for a suspicious person but none. Nahihiwagaan sila kung bakit ganoon na lamang ang takot nito habang tumatakbo.
Momo: Ah! Sana, tara sa studio. I remembered the number of her guardian in her application form!
They rushed to the studio and found the number. There's no name but they still contacted it.
Momo: Hello? Is this Mina's guardian?
Walang ibang narinig si Momo at Sana kundi isang malakas na pagbagsak ng kung ano. Parang bumagsak ang cellphone at puro hingal na ang naririnig nila pagkatapos.
Sana: Hindi ba...si Mina yun?
Momo: I think so...

Chaeyoung phone rang after his check up on the poodle. Lumabas siya sa clinic nang sagutin niya ang tawag. Is this mina's guar---- iyon lamang ang narinig niya dahil may isang babaeng nakabangga sa kanya.
Nabitawan niya ng phone niya at nasalo ang katawan ng babaeng iyon. A she saw the familiar beret cap, he look for her face.
Chaeyoung: MINA????
Mina: C-chae...
After whispering his name, Mina passed out.
Chae: MINA!!!! SHit!
Chae hurriedly lift her and called a taxi. Pawis na pawis si Mina at sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso nito. Tinakpan ni Chaeyoung ang hita ni Mina gamit ang lab coat niya. She's wearing a white dress with flowery design.
Nang makarating sila sa emergency room, agad siyang inasikaso. As the curtain closed, Chaeyoung can't stop himself from worrying about her. The familiar fear in his heart envelop his body. This is not good, he thought.
After hysterical minutes, the doctor talked to him and says it's a fatigue and dehydration. Chaeyoung knows about that condition and that made him more relief because he's familiar with it. It can be done through some medications.
After a while, he remembered the woman who calls her. Fortunately, he picked his phone on the ground before panicking. Kinontak niya ang number na iyon at pasigaw na sumagot ang kausap.
Momo: WHAT HAPPENED TO MINA!?
Napalayo si Chae sa cellphone nito. Feeling niya nabasag ang eardrum niya. Pero wala pa ring tatalo kapag si Nayeon na ang sumigaw.
Chae: She's in the hospital.
Momo: WHAT HOSPITAL!? WE'RE COMING!
The call ended. Tinext niya rito ang pangalan ng hospial at wala pang kalahating oras, dumating ang dalawang babae.
Momo: Mina? Mina??? NAsan ka!?
Tumayo siya at sinalubong ang mga ito.
Chae: Mina's here.
Tinuro ni Chaeyoung ang bed ni Mina at agad na nilapitan ng dalawa. They both cried and bawling. Biglang nahiya si Chaeyoung sa iyak ng dalawa dahil pinagtitinginan na sila. Pero nakikita niya ang sinseridad sa mga mukha nila. They really are worried.
His worries eased and decided to leave the hospital. Just like he did years ago.

Mina felt the familiar pain on her body and feet. She slowly opened her eyes, and four pair of eyes met hers. Ah, it's Momo and Sana.
Sana: Mina! Okay ka na ba?
Momo: Bakit ka ba tumakbo?
Sana: Sobrang nag alala kami sayo!
Momo: Wag mo na uulitin yun ha!
The girls hugged her and made her smile. Their worried face made her forget what happened.
Mina: Paano ako napunta rito?
Momo: I called your guardian.
Sana: And turned out it's CHAEYOUNG FROM JEONGCHAEDATZU!
Momo: They are living in one roof.
Sana: WHAT!?
Mina: I just don't have any safer choice.
Bumangon si MIna ngunit ramdam niya ang bigat ng katawan. She pulled her muscle too much that made her lie down again.
Sana: Marami kang ikukwento sa akin ha!
Momo: Hayaan mo muna siya magpahinga.
Mina thought of Chaeyoung. Hindi niya alam kung saan na siya tumatakbo kanina, hindi niya rin alam na makakasalubong niya si Chaeyoung na nasa labas. Thank God he's the one who found her.
She saw the leader of the 'pursuer' of that absurd village. Bakit binabalikan na naman siya? Totoo nga ba ang sinabi nito sa kanya? Kukunin na naman ba siya? Paparusahan na naman ba siya?

Chaeyoung found himself pushing the cart to get some groceries. He decided to get some foof for Mina's fatigue. Nabili na rin niya ang mga gamot nito, si Mina nalang ang kulang.
Chae: How come she's wearing her cap even in hospital? Why the hell she ran away?
Chaeyoung doesn't have any idea about the masked men that's chasing Mina. All he know is about one man who couldn't let her go, a very violent and ruthless man.
Chae: How can I protect her?
