How could Soo-Ah lie she didn't think about him? How could she speak the truth? Since the last time she saw Jung-In distraught because he could not find her, and even before, when he fought Sung-Ho along all the things he spat at his former command officer in front of the king and an entire crowd, of course, she thought about him. Almost every day and in all the possible ways.
In the end, Soo-Ah took one swift look at the man's pained face and decided to hold her tongue and try once more to cut him loose. "I don't think about you," she whispered, still averting her gaze.
Jung-In sighed in a gut-wrenching manner, resting his forehead against hers. "You are still lying." There he was again, continuing to wait for her true resolution in order to make his. If only she could bring herself to be honest with him, but more importantly, with herself.
