Chae Gyung keeps asking herself why Hyorin is back to Korea. What is she doing with Shin in the pub? Confused, she suddenly find her car in the opposite lane with a truck coming straight at her, horning. She was quick enough to take action and turn the wheel to the left. Unfortunately, she was not quick enough and the truck hit the right flank of her car violently.
At the pub, Shin felt something bad had happened but couldn't explain it. The car has been drag meters away from the impact and the car has turned over several times. Chae Gyung was badly injured, blood all over the streets, everywhere. Hopefully, some passers-by help removing Chae Gyung from the damaged car and she was brought to the hospital. Shin was alerted and he rushed to the hospital hoping that nothing bad had happened to his wife.
Shin arrived at the hospital and inquired about the status of Chae Gyung. Then, the nurse said that she is still in the emergency room and that she lost so much blood during the transition and that she was seriously injured. Shin taken aback, don't know what to do. His love Chae Gyung is still in the emergency room and he was waiting impatiently for an update. He then decided to call Chae Gyung's parent more importantly and tell them about the situation. Both rushed to the hospital and couldn't contain the emotion, especially Chae Gyung's father who was crying and moving all around the corridor.
Then after some moments, Hyorin came, she overheard people talking about the ex Crown Princess having a serious car accident and was taken to the hospital. Hyorin is sad for Shin who's face expression tells everything about his feelings right now. Though, she was sad, she feel she's overjoying about the situation. That would left Shin alone for her if ever Chae Gyung dies. But the big problem still remain, So Yun, the couple's baby girl. Hyorin pays respect to Chae Gyung's parent and left since Shin has already rejected her twice.
The press was all over to cover Chae Gyung's accident. The Imperial Family couldn't believe the flash news. The Great Queen arrange an important meeting with the King and the Queen about the situation. They want to know what had happened exactly since the press was only covering some mere informations. They send the Imperial Internal Officer to the hospital to get some updates.
The doctor finally left the emergency room after several hours. He wants to have a private talk with Shin. They left for the next room to have some private conversation.
"Prince, the situation is very bad. I don't think that the Princess will make it. She was seriously injured and lost almost of her blood. She will remain in observation for a whole week until her conditions improve. She is in the coma right now." said the doctor to Shin.
"What?"
"I'm so sorry Prince." replied the doctor.
After hearing what the doctor has said to him, Shin fell at his feet in disbelief, his eyes filled with tears. Will Chae Gyung survive the injuries? Will he be able to live without Chae Gyung? During this time, the doctor has updated Chae Gyung parents and the Imperial Internal Officer with the updates.
"Shin Chae Gyung, how do you dare do that to your papa." yelled Chae Gyung's dad
PAFF... Chae Gyung's mother slapped her husband and told him though the situation is unbearable, he should show some manhood. Then Yul arrived at the hospital with his bodyguards. He pays his respects to Chae Gyung's parent and look for Shin in the next room. Shin was still at his feet and crying.
"Shin, I'm so sorry for what had happened. If I could do something, just tell me." Yul talked
"What can you do? Can you turns back the hand of time and prevent this accident to happen?" was the answer from Shin. He continued "She's my whole life. Now I'm aware of her importance in my life. Will I be able to live without her? I'm sure not."
"I'm sorry I can't do nothing but only to give you words of support." replied Yul
"Please, leave me alone. I want to be alone."
Yul left the room lost of words to comfort his cousin. They were all asked to go take a rest by the doctor since it was late at night. Yul & the Imperial Internal Officer went back to palace to update the Royal Family.
Joo Young arrives some minutes later to stay by Yul's side. Joo Young was sitting and Yul came and felt between Joo Young's thigh and cried. Chae Gyung was his first love, he could barely believe the whole situation. Joo Young could only strokes Yul's hair gently, her eyes full of tears.
Weeks later, Chae Gyung is still in the coma, there was no improvement with Shin still by her side, holding her hand, praying that she regain conscious and that she quickly recover from her injuries.
"Chae Gyung, please come back.. what would I do if you ever leave me?"
All of a sudden, Shin felt Chae Gyung's fingers pressing his hand. "Doctor, Doctor, Doctor" shouted Shin
"What's the matter?" asked the doctor
"Her.. her.. her fingers were moving. She was pressing my hand." quickly replied Shin
The doctor quickly do some examination, and announced to Shin that Chae Gyung is finally out of coma and out of danger.
"She's out of danger, but I can't tell when she'll be able to wake up. But surely, she's out of danger. There's still hope." said the doctor.
Happy that Chae Gyung is out of danger, Shin immediately called everybody and give them the update. Everybody was overjoyed of the improvements of Chae Gyung's condition.
Days later, Chae Gyung finally open up her eyes and saw Shin at her bedside, tired, sleeping and still holding her hand. Slowly but surely, she strikes Shin's hair. Shin waked up and couldn't believe her eyes. Tears of joy running down on him. He quickly gives Chae Gyung a warmth kiss and mumble quickly "I love you". Chae Gyung was taken into the examination room and was diagnosed that she had to undergo rehabilitation, else she would be cripple for the rest of her life. Later, Shin and her have some private conversation.
"Why were you driving late at night?" asked Shin
Chae Gyung turn her head to the left and overlook at the window. "Tell me, what were you doing late at night?" Shin asked again.
"I know everything." was the replied with a tearful voice. "I saw everything at the pub. Don't deny it."
"What? At the pub?"
"Hyorin." was the short reply.
"It's nothing. We were just talking and having some drinks."
"Nothing? What were you doing with her? What were you doing during the nights you came late at home?" asked Chae Gyung.
"I've told you, there's nothing. I was just sending her off properly."
A silence took place and Shin apologized to Chae Gyung and told her that he won't leave her and that he won't be able to live without her.
"What if I file a divorce?" launched Chae Gyung
Shin immediately object forcefully and added "I will never let you go."
"I didn't know how to tell you that Hyorin was back and I only find shelter in drinks. Bygone are bygone. She and I are over. It's all my fault as always that you have to endure everything. I hope that one day you'll pardon me." continued Shin.
"But you should have told me instead. Communication is the best solution with problems. We are a set. You should have known this since we are together."
