In an attempt to spend as much time with Do Hee before making his decision on whether to kill her or not, we find out Gu Won's true feelings for her! While watching a horror movie together, Do Hee falls asleep on his shoulder. Gu Won speaks his mind and says, "What really scares me the most is a world without you." We feel you Gu Won!

Do Hee finds out about the horrible truth

Jin Ga Young clears up the confusion with Do Do Hee as she visits her to talk about that night's tattoo transfer. She tells Do Hee that Gu Won is willing to die for her if Do Hee jumps into the ocean and the tattoo doesn't get transferred back to Gu Won. Ga Young gives Do Hee a bottle of poison to kill herself to save Gu Won. Gu Won finds them on the rooftop talking, but its too late. Do Hee already knows the truth. She runs off to clear her head.

A shocking ending!

As Do Hee and Gu Won return to the same oceanside cliff where they once fell off and the tattoo was transferred, we are exposed to the ugly truth that Noh Suk Min has been controlling Noh Do Gyeong to do his bidding. Do Gyeong has burn scars on his arm due to frequent "punishment sessions" with Noh Suk Min and follows Do Hee and Gu Won to the same gas station. We find out the real reason why Do Gyeong is there, to kill Do Hee. He runs his car into the gas station mart where Do Hee is paying for a postcard to commemorate Gu Won's "birthday as a new demon" and the car explodes! Even more shocking is that Gu Won rushes into the burning mart and finds Do Hee barely alive and that the tattoo has returned! He then carries Do Hee out of the burning building, like a boss!
