A Year Ago
After that night the two of them the next few weeks felt like a dream not worries or problems. Jae Won and Ji Young were falling in love and infatuated with one another. "So you say that you're staying here for a month." Ji young stating as the two of them were sitting in front of the trailer admiring the view in front of them. It had just rained so it felt so nice and breezy to be outside with a warm cup of tea. "Yeah I asked for a month vacation" Jae Won said as he was pouring the tea for Ji Young.
"What? What if I stay longer?" Ji Young shrugged her shoulders not saying much "If I stay longer...Will you marry me?"

Taken back by his comment "Are you for real?" Leaning back in her chair " I mean it would be fun wouldn't it?"
"I mean we both like each other and have a cozy place to live. Why not? Let's do it for fun" both of them cheering their cups together. They got ready for their "Fun" wedding. The following day when the sun was in a better mood they both dressed up and set up a camera on top of the trailer.

On a tripod Jae Won sets up the camera to film on a timer. Running next to her the two of them announced their vows. Jae Won even took out rings from his pocket presenting them to Ji Young.  She couldn't help but smile and slid Jae Won's ring on for him as he did the same for her. Ji Young was more than happy and in love "Let's promise to never take it off" smiling at him. 

Though all good things must come to an end. Sooner than both of them had expected Jae Won's boss needed him to back in the office right away. As Ji Young was driving him to the airport she couldn't help but fill a pit in her stomach. Rushing out of the car still on the phone with his superior Jae Won hung up and apologizes to Ji Young for leaving like this. He had hoped they would go back to Seoul together. "It's okay I understand. Don't worry about me"
"Okay again I'm sorry and you have my number right?" Pulling out the paper from her pocket "Yes"
"And what if you lose it?"
Shaking her head "No I won't"
"Okay, but what if you do?" Still panicking at the idea of losing contact with Ji Young. "Cheonggyecheon's third stepping stone, last Saturday of the month, at ten" One last hug goodbye "Promise me that you'll get a phone and call me right away" still holding on to her "Yes I will". Little did he know those were Ji Young's last words to him.

Present Day
After the whole day going through paperwork and meetings Ji Young couldn't help but think to herself about what she did to Jae Won last year. She knew what she did was wrong, but he didn't fall in love with the real Ji Young. That person was someone completely different and no way in hell Jae Won would ever fall for the girl she is today. Pulling up to the stop light her head peers over to the car next to her.

Realizing who it was Ji Young quickly ducks her head in hopes that he didn't see her. Seeing the light turn green Ji Young makes a quick exit to her house thankfully that was close by. Stopping the car she takes a few deep breaths and leans her head on the steering wheel. Tears welling up in her eyes "Oh, Jae Won. I'm so sorry." As she wiped the tear off her face as she rubbed her necklace that had her ring.
