It's the middle of the night, and the narrator is sitting in the car with Gu yiran. He asks Gu how he managed to find him. Gu tells him that he sent out a search warrant to the bar owners. Gu says that he was once in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he's disappointed. He tells the narrator that he used to be good friends with Gu's father, who took care of him and showered him with kindness. He says that even if he had his eyes on Gu, he never paid him any mind. Gu asks the narrator if liking a person means liking someone. The narrator says that liking someone means that you're in love with someone, and that it's okay to get hurt for it, as long as the person understands you. He promises to buy the narrator a bottle of hot spiced water. He goes on to say that he'll go back to his dormitory and find out what's going on. He's not feeling well, so he asks to be left alone with Gu. He wants to know what he should do next.
