### Summary
Following his devastating rejection of Gunwoo, an emotionally distraught Yeo Eui-Joon finds solace in a tearful phone call with his supportive older brother, Eui-hyeon. The conversation centers on Eui-Joon's immense guilt over having slept with Gunwoo, an act he considers cheating on his current boyfriend. However, in his confession, he omits the crucial context that his partner was unfaithful first and had been ignoring his attempts to break up for weeks. The discussion proves to be a pivotal moment when his brother's advice leads Eui-Joon to a profound epiphany. He recognizes a direct parallel between his own tendency to withhold painful truths to "protect" his brother and Gunwoo's drastic decision to disappear for three years. This realization reframes Gunwoo's painful abandonment not as a selfish act, but as a misguided, extreme measure taken out of love to ensure Eui-Joon's safety. This shift in perspective moves Eui-Joon from a place of pure resentment toward an empathetic understanding of Gunwoo's sacrifice, creating a crucial emotional breakthrough that paves the way for their potential reconciliation.
