As their shared world begins to take shape, the gang finds him and come to Jeju to take revenge. The gang shoot Gwang-hyuk in the head. Although he survives, he is left with severe brain damage. Gi-sam and Gwang-hyuk lose all will, and they become trapped in their own world, and he begs her to let him go.
