Yi-jae explains that continuing their relationship across oceans would lead to emotional dependency. To rebuild her personal confidence and establish herself as an independent filmmaker, she feels compelled to undertake her journey alone. Prior to her flight, Soo-bin gifts her his original screenplay for “Dream” in hopes of inspiring her artistic growth. Although a final attempt to meet at the airport fails, Soo-bin holds onto a hair tie she left behind as a lingering memory.<\/span><\/p>
