When In-sun meets Mun-seon in Seoul, she confesses her love for him, but he turns it down in a roundabout way. Meanwhile, Hwang In-su (Choi Bong), Mun-seon's co-worker at the company, teases Myoeng-hee and In-sun, while his wife (Kim Sin-jae) has been bedridden for years. On Myeonghee's and Mun-seon's engagement day, In-sun calls Mun-seon, saying that she has something to tell him. Before he arrives, In-su stabs In-sun to death because she turns him down. In-su blinds Mun-seon with a knife and he faints. Before In-su runs away, he puts his knife in Mun-seon's hand. Blind and stigmatized, Mun-seon accepts his fate and gives up defending himself.
