The breakup unleashes tense confrontations and unsettles their daily routines, signaling the fragility of their romance. This event marks the turning point from dating to a costly separation.

The fallout from the breakup includes tense confrontations between them and Young's impulsive one-night stand with a mutual colleague. The incident compounds mistrust and fuels a sense that boundaries have shattered. It serves as a painful reminder of the damage their split has caused.

Despite the damage, they decide to give their romance another chance and cautiously dip back into dating. They begin to feel a flicker of love again, though it remains tempered by recent pain. The decision marks a fragile new beginning amid lingering doubts.

As they start dating again, they enter a fragile second honeymoon that feels bright yet shadowed by fear and insecurity. The couple revels in affection for a time, but undercurrents of doubt threaten the pace. This phase shows both how far they've come and how close they are to repeating old patterns.

Boredom, trust issues, and mutual dishonesty begin to cloud their renewed romance. The once-joyful moments are tainted by suspicion and the fear of repeating past mistakes. The relationship teeters as these familiar challenges return.

Dong-hee's hot temper becomes a visible obstacle, signaling a need for anger management and emotional restraint. His reactions threaten to derail conversations and deepen rifts between them. The tension highlights the difficulty of sustaining care under pressure.

Young tries to dodge conflicts by telling small lies, unaware that such deception corrodes trust over time. The pattern compounds miscommunication and makes honesty harder to maintain. The couple grows more distant as truth becomes a casualty of ongoing conflicts.

The breakup experience lingers as insecurity blooms into suffocating pressure. Dong-hee pretends to be genuinely interested in Young's ideas to keep the relationship afloat, even if it means sacrificing his own comfort. He goes as far as choosing sleep over an amusement park on his day off to avoid conflict.

Young becomes extremely self-conscious about every word she says, fearing she will upset him again. This insecurity shapes her behavior and inhibits honest communication. The fear of repeating past mistakes fuels distance between them.

There is a quiet sadness as they cling to a hopeful facade, insisting that nothing is wrong and that things will work out. They utter promises like 'I will be good to her' and 'I'll try harder to make this work,' but the authenticity of those vows wears thin. The tension under the surface continues to grow.

The couple's outward harmony hides the toll of keeping up appearances, and the audience can feel the growing distance between them. The everyday interactions become strained as unspoken issues loom. The facade begins to crack under the weight of unresolved feelings.

The film builds toward a piercing realization that, despite genuine affection and best efforts, the same fundamental patterns sabotage the relationship. Some forces prove too powerful to control, and denying them risks pushing love toward a painful goodbye. The story ends with the looming possibility of parting.
