Oh, that traumatizing affair that put me off JIS and SJS for soo long! Jae-yeol was the one to send Hae-soo on her trip, telling her to return as a better person, encouraging her to do the things she wanted, and teaching her to become a more filial daughter.

FB.init({ Sunbae Jo and Soo-kwang burst inside just then, and ha, it turns out that puzzle they were working on reads, “Our loving Hae-soo, Jae-yeol has been waiting for you.” They hilariously plop themselves on the bed to watch the ongoing makeout session, only to be shooed out.
