Deuk-gu accompanies Bora during her treatment. For Bora's sake, he decides to give up going to America for his studies but Bora is very angry when she finds out about this. She hopes that she will not be a burden to Deuk-gu. After Bora awakes from a coma, she pleads with Deuk-gu to take her away from the hospital to go to Lapland. Deuk-gu agrees and the two of them decide to head elsewhere for Bora's recuperation and to enjoy the last moments of their happiness. However, Bora's health condition worsens every day. When Deuk-gu tries getting Bora to wake up, she can no longer open her eyes. To fulfil Bora's last wish, Deuk-gu arrives at Lapland himself. Many years later, Deuk-gu successfully becomes a Professor. Back at Bora's school, Deuk-gu indistinctly sees Bora sitting on the bench opposite smiling at him.
