The next morning, Kim wakes up in the middle of the night and tells his wife that everything that has happened in the past few days has made him want to run away. He tells her that he never said that he would not use someone else's life for his own. He says that if they chose the way he was saying, they could have solved the problem in a peaceful way. If they wanted to corner Minhoon, he says, they would have to do it in a way that would make him choose between the two of them. Kim says that he didn't want to sacrifice another human for his freedom. He adds that he just wanted to be happy as one. He asks Kim to stop mocking him. If he thinks that freedom is won by sacrificing someone else, he doesn't have a noble purpose. He wants to keep her for himself, like he would make her happy as a person. He sends a message to Kim hyungwoo. He's worried that Kim will notice his voice quivering, his heart shaking, and that he might not be the same person he usually is. He tries to kiss Kim, but he can't because he's afraid that he'll be different from his usual self. He calls Kim to his office and tells him to hang up.
