After some time, Kyuri's father calls an ambulance anyway. Nobody likes a dead body in front of their house.
The ambulance arrives and people try to drag Kang Si An inside, but he refuses with all his might. His knees are scraped. His face has turned deathly pale. His body is going numb. He keeps watching the window. The lights are turned off. He can't see her silhouette anymore.
"Kyuri." He mumbles her name. "Beat me. Slap me. Stab me. Hurt me. But, please come back. My life has no meaning without you. Please. I can't live this life without you. It's difficult to breathe when you are not by my side. Forgive me, Kyuri."
The night turns to morning. People gather around him. The journalists get the news that the infamous actor Kang Si An is kneeling in front of someone's house. They come and record everything. He won't move. No matter what happens, he won't leave the spot. It starts raining. He can barely keep his eyes open. Some people bring food and water for him. He refuses to eat.
Lastly, Kyuri's family members call the cops. The cops try to remove the man, but he wouldn't budge. Because he is an infamous actor, his actions have caught the attention of the nation. He doesn't answer a single question. He won't say anything. His eyes are locked on the window.
They start to speculate. There are many theories. Ki Mi Ran refuses to comment on why he is kneeling in front of a stranger's house. His family comes to convince him. Nothing can affect him. His family seeks Kyuri's family, but they don't know much either except for the fact that Kang Si An wants to meet Kwon Kyuri and Kwon Kyuri refuses to meet him.
The people living in Kwon's house can't get out because of the media and crowd.
Later, they find that Kwon Kyuri is no longer in her room. They find her letter saying that she is going somewhere far away and no one should look for her.
"She left." Kwon Ki Hoon throws the letter at Kang Si An. "Are you happy now?"
Kang Si An opens the letter. The words are simple and straight forward. There is no explanation.
[I am leaving. Don't look for me.]
He has been holding himself for so long. He loses all his strength and passes out. The media can guess the situation now. Kang Si An was stalking this girl. She ran away from home. Multiple headlines appear on the paper. Ki Mi Ran takes this opportunity to become the victim. Kwon Kyuri becomes the other woman in the public's eyes.
When he regains his consciousness, the world has changed. He can't accept people dissing Kwon Kyuri's name.
It's released to the public by an anonymous source that Ki Mi Ran and Kang Si An have broken a long time ago when she lied about having a miscarriage. She had an abortion in secret and fooled Kang Si An for a long time.
That was enough. Ki Mi Ran's gentle and virtuous image is ruined in front of the public with one simple revelation of the truth. She is ostracized by the netizens for being a lying whore. The netizens are never forgiving.
If Ki Mi Ran had kept quiet and stayed in the limit, Kang Si An probably wouldn't have gone this far.
At the hospital, Kang Si An runs his fingers over her handwriting. They have been looking for her. There is no news. Where she could have gone?
He wants to rip his stitches out and bleed to death. Perhaps, she will come then. She has always come to see him when he was dying in the past. He has taken her love for granted and didn't think about how she felt each time. The words from her promise reemerge in his mind.
She won't come this time.
"Kyuri... what should I do?" He holds his head. "I am sorry... Please punish me. Torture me... But, stay where I can see you. I can't bear it. I want to see you again, Kyuri. I don't even know if you are alive or dead."
Does he have the right to? Did he listen to her begging that night? How many times did she beg him to stop? She asked him to believe her once.
Kang Si An weeps miserably. The woman who has been with him for more than a thousand years is gone from his life. She won't come back to him. She won't allow him to see her even in the afterlife.
She knows how to hide. Despite her face becoming famous because of Kang Si An's actions, she isn't found.
'I won't be able to see her ever again.' The thought kills him every day. He wakes up with the hope that she will reappear in his life. He sleeps with the wish that she would appear in his dreams. She's cruel. Even in the dreams, she has forsaken him.
Unbeknownst to him, his miserable way of living makes him more famous. The entire country knows that Kang Si An loves a woman named Kwon Kyuri and he is asking her to return to him. Some see him as a tortured lover. Others have different opinions.
"Who is Kwon Kyuri? Why she is acting high and mighty?"
"What did he do though? I am curious why she wouldn't forgive him."
"Look, how much he loves her. She should forgive him and come back."
"Why isn't he in love with me? I am 10 times prettier than her."
"He has some strange tastes. The girl doesn't even have a college degree."
Bad or good, Kang Si An and Kwon Kyuri become popular.
Kang Si An decides to use this popularity. He works harder in his roles. He doesn't know where she is. But, he will ask for forgiveness every day. Until his death, he won't let this story disappear. Maybe, if she hear it every day, she would change her mind and come back some day.
