In this chapter, the narrator reflects on his first experience writing an epilogue to a story. He feels that the characters of jiwoo, seul and bom are not well represented. He wishes that he could have portrayed them more clearly. He realizes that he had no intention of making jiwoo a good person, as he lied in the first chapter of the story, and that the readers had a hard time following his indecisive behavior. He also feels sorry for chigyun, because he had planned to make him a villainous character. The narrator explains that the central theme of the novel is regret, which stems from looking back at one's past relationship. This theme is similar to the theme of regret that jiwoo experienced in his relationship with seul. He wanted jiwoo to be able to reflect on his mistakes and grow through them. In contrast, the previous version of the character lied in a pathetic and almost evil manner. He is thankful to everyone who helped him create this work.
