"Hye Jin, don't listen to him. He's just bragging. I'm not really going to marry her, please believe me," Dea said staring at Hye jin's teary face. I don't know why Hye jin's tears seem to rub off on her. Now Dea's tears welled up in her eyes.
"Enough, Dea!" snapped Richie.
"I should have told you that. Enough's enough!" Snap Dea to Richie. "It is enough to say something that is not true at all. Don't act stupid, Richie!" Dea took in her breath which was so stifling to the chest. "Why do you have so much heart for Hye Jin who loves you so much!"
"I have no feelings for Hye Jin, Dea. If we continue to force this marriage, we will both be equally hurt!"
"You're a stupid man, Richie. You've wasted a good girl like Hye jin just for me?" cynical Dea. "I still won't marry you!" Dea passed away from there up the stairs to her room. As Richie chases after her, Hye Jin stops him.
"Richie...."
Richie sighed, occasionally opening his eyes. "Do you know Hye Jin? I love Dea so much. I admire him a lot. And I also have my own reasons for my love for her. But for you, I only consider you a brother. As hard as I try to love you, it will be hard for me. Please, forgive me. If I force my heart to marry you, I'm afraid it's going to hurt you even more" Richie said, staring at Hye Jin.
"Yes, I know." Hye Jin rubbed his tears so as not to fall. "I came here to make sure of that. I want to be clear again about the feelings between us all along." Hye Jin paused for a moment to take his breath so as not to be as excited.
"I do love you, Richie. And it feels so painful to me. Like you, I could never find the slightest happiness between our relationships. I've always tried to be someone else so you could love me, but it never worked and it only hurt me."
Hye Jin tried hard to make her tears so as not to shed wet her cheeks increasingly profusely. But she could not stop her crying when she closed her eyes. He tried to calm himself and regulate his breathing which made him so tight.
"I just got to know Dea. But, I know that Dea is a very good girl. Dea never knew where I came from and where, but she was so sincere about taking care of me. You have to try harder to get Dea's love" Hye Jin said, making Richie distrustful.
"Hye jin...." Richie did not expect that Hye Jin actually supported him. This was far beyond what he thought in his mind. In fact, he thought that Hye Jin would rebel against the decision he had taken to marry Dea, as he had assumed.
"Don't worry, Richie. I'll take care of Grandma. I'm tired like this too, Richie. Wishing your love is impossible, while your love is for someone else. I will not force you to live with me while our hearts are tormented. It hurt me a lot, but it's what's best for us. I'm relieved, because now we don't have to think about our hopeless relationship anymore."

Dea was staring at the ceiling of her room. This afternoon made him so shocked and sad. He just kept thinking about Hye Jin's feelings that might have been broken into pieces. And it was caused by him.
Dea kept locking herself in her room. No one could persuade him to eat. Dea desperately needs Moza at the moment, but Moza returned to Indonesia two days ago. Until he can only hold his own heart.
"Son, let's eat for a minute, honey." Mama Zara's voice came from behind the door. I do not know how many times Mama Zara persuaded, but there was no reply or response from inside the room Dea.
"Why can Dea be like this?" ask Papa Arya after coming home from her office. He was so worried about Dea after Mama Zara called him.
Mama Zara then told her husband about the incident this afternoon.
"So Hye Jin was Richie's previous fiancee?" Papa Arya was surprised.
Until the housekeeper distracts Mama Zara and Papa Arya from the door of Dea's room.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Outside is Mr. Gemal's family and...."
"Miss Hye Jin, sir."
"Hye jin?" Papa Arya and Mama Zara looked at each other. A moment of silence struck both. Mama Zara and Papa Arya walk into the living room.
"Rebecca?" Mama Zara walked up to him and they hugged each other. It's been a long time since Aunt Rebecca has been living in Korea for a while.
However, their eyes were turned to Hye Jin who was sitting with the Gemal family. Mama and Papa Arya only know that Hye Jin is Richie's former fiancee. They do not know that Hye Jin is also a relative of Richie.

While Dea is still wrapped in her blanket. He was still thinking about his future fate.
"Dea." Mama Zara's voice rang out behind her bedroom door. But Dea refused to move from her place.
"Dea, there's Hye jin here. She wants to talk to you, son," said Mama still knocking on her door.
But Dea was still reluctant to get out of her bed. He doesn't want to deal with people who are in contact with Richie.
"Dea, can we talk for a minute?" Hye Jin's voice replaced Mama Zara's.
Dea looked towards the door. Yes, it was Hye jin's voice. Slowly Dea began to move from her bed. Slowly, Dea began to open the door to her room.
Mama Zara developed her smile. He was so relieved, Dea finally opened the door after various persuasions.
"Dea...."
"Come in, Hye jin." Dea tried to smile at Hye Jin. Then he opened the door of his room as wide as possible so that Hye Jin would freely enter.
"Then Mama comes down first" said Mama Zara smiling. Mama wanted to give Dea and Hye jin space to talk.
Dea immediately closed the door of her room and walked over to Hye Jin who was already sitting on the sofa of her room.
"Are you crying, Dea?" hye Jin asked as she looked at Dea's eyes that looked slightly puffy.
"I'm not crying, Hye-jin. Why do you think I'm crying?" Dea tried to deny it.
"Don't lie, Dea. You can't cry, you have to be happy. Before I go back to Korea, I have a request for you" Hye Jin said with a gentle smile.
"W-what? Why are you going back to Korea? What's that request, Hye jin?"
Hye jin smiled. "Marry Richie" said Hye Jin, causing Dea to stare silently at Hye Jin.
