Ji-an prepares in the dorm as if going to battle, using memory to avoid the old first meeting.

The college courtyard bustles with club booths, fictional banners, and students. Ji-an walks a careful path away from Blue Comma Cafe.

Near the cafe booth, Hyun-woo appears in the same path as the first timeline, carrying coffee.

The crowd flows around them. Hyun-woo tries the charming apology Ji-an remembers too well.

On a quiet path, Hyun-woo catches up and asks for her number. Ji-an refuses before the old warmth can form.

At the Blue Comma Cafe booth, Tae-joon laughs at Hyun-woo's failure while Ji-an passes nearby.

Ji-an hides in the library stacks, but Hyun-woo appears with the notebook she left at orientation.

Between quiet shelves, Ji-an draws a cruel line to stop the future before it begins.

Hyun-woo exits the library aisle. Ji-an remains among the shelves, shaken by the fact that his hurt still hurts her.

Back in the dorm, So-ra notices Ji-an's mood while a message from an unknown campus number lights the phone.

Night in the dorm. Rain threatens outside. Ji-an sits alone under the desk lamp, choosing not to answer Hyun-woo.
