But when Baek-chu got severely burned, Eun-ji left him. Baek-chu came after Eun-ji trying to kill her. He missed a step and fell into the ocean and died. With a foreboding premonition, Eun-ji goes to the villa she and Baek-chu frequently stayed in the past. Eun-ji discovers Baek-chu there alive. Eun-ji is thrown into a fire by Baek-chu. When she is half-dead, Baek-chu pulls her out and throws himself into the fire and dies.
