Returning to the tent, Tae-il recalls learning of how Gyeong-hui put Hana's biological mother in charge of the dorm. His eyes flash with anger and calls one of his men to come over.

"Keep an eye on Ahn Gyeong-hui and report to me if he does anything suspicious." Tae-il orders.

"Yes sir!" The agent bows and takes his leave.

"Minnie... Can't breathe..." Hana gets out while being squeezed in a tight hug along with Young Ro by Jeongmin.

"Oops!" Jeongmin immediately lets go of the younger girls of their group. "Sorry!"

"Oh my goodness... I saw a whole other world flash before my eyes." Hana says, falling back onto her bed with a hand over her heart.

"...Don't you mean your life flashed before your eyes?" Jeongmin asks, amused by her behavior.

"Nope. I saw a land of butterscotch... It was so beautiful." Hana answers, her eyes lit up just thinking back to it.

"You can't even go a day with butterscotch." Hye Ryung rolls her eyes and flicks Hana's forehead.

"It's okay." Young Ro says after getting her breath back. "Thank you for understanding us. We wanted to tell you, but we were scared of how you react."

"I understand why you both didn't tell us... It must have been hard." Jeongmin says, sadness in her voice.

"But still! It doesn't change how we feel! You're still our best friends no matter what!" Seol Hui 

"Aww, Seol Hui!" Young Ro squeals and gives the older girl a hug.

"...Did you really break up with Byung Tae?" Hana asks Hye Ryung and receives a nod. "I'm sorry-"

"Oh spare me your apologies. Didn't you and Hee Tae take back your blessings after seeing how much of a wimp he was?" Hye Ryung asks, crossing her arms.

"Well I... That's... You were happy though! That's all that mattered to me!" Hana defends herself with a pout.

"It's not like I started my wedding plans in the first place, I was more focused on yours." Hye Ryung says, rolling her eyes.

"Jeez, you don't even sound like you were excited for your own wedding in the first place. Did you only take the ring because it looked pretty?" Jeongmin teases that earns her silence from the other older girl.

"Unnie... You didn't..." Young Ro murmurs.

"I thought you loved him! Or at least liked him!" Seol Hui says with widened eyes.

"Of course, I liked him! I just... I liked the ring more." Hye Ryung mutters making Hana gasp.

"You didn't change your ways?! You're shameless!" Hana yells, earning a flick to the forehead. "Ow!"

"Yah! In my defense I took the ring, but I never said yes!" Hye Ryung glares at the pouting girl. "Besides, I haven't been out with anyone else since I started going out with him! Shouldn't that count for something?!"

She only receives silence from her roommates...

"Why are you going to see that lowlife?" Gyeok-chan asks, clearly annoyed with Hana who is pulling him towards the basement.

"Do you know why I forbid Soosoo and you from doing anything to him? Because I'm getting payback myself! Hehe, he won't know what's coming! And you have the honor of being the first to witness my revenge! Plus it's your job as my bodyguard to protect me just in case anything goes wrong." She explains and nearly jolts back when he suddenly stops. "Huh? Why did you stop?"

"...You come across as a sweet girl but you're really evil deep down, aren't you?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

She giggles. "Hey, I'll always be sweet but I gotta rebel sometimes."

He rolls his eyes and follows her inside the basement. Once Sang Beom sees Hana, he struggles against his restraints and his words are muffled through the tape, seeming as if he's trying to plead with her.

"Sang Beom. I'm not going to waste my time to ask you why you snitched to everyone about Young Ro and my identities. But I'm going to take a guess and say that you were going to go to my adoptive father and make him give you money or you make sure that the whole city would find out how I fell for a North Korean." He stops moving and making sounds, confirming that she was right. She rolls her eyes and takes a glance at Bun Ok. "You both are terrible. Exposing people's secrets for your own gains but get nothing in the end. You both should have learned by now... But Sang Beom? It wouldn't have worked anyway because he would have killed you. You're such a stupid butthead... I decided on the perfect punishment for you."

Sang beom's eyes widened in fear and shakes his head.

"Don't worry! It's not too bad! It'll just show you that next time you'll know better." She tells him with a sweet smile.

She kicks him where the sun doesn't shine, shocking Bun Ok and making Gyeok-chan cover his mouth as he almost laughs. Sang Beom bends over, groaning in pain.

"I feel sorry that Man Dong has to keep putting up with your antics. So do us all a favor and never have children. You would make a terrible father." She then shudders at the thought of mini versions of him. "I'm done here, Channy. Let's go."

"...Evil woman." Gyeok-chan whispers into Hana's ear while following her up the stairs.

"Channy!" She squeals and pinches him. "Don't scare me like that!"

"We talked to Chang-su earlier. He's agreeing to let the spies and hostages walk out safely." Kang Moo explains, shocking the twins and Seung Hee.

"But the ruling party's winning right now. Why would he be giving up?" Seung Hee asks.

"That's what is concerning me... He also must suspect Nam Tae-il or Ahn Gyeong-hui of trying to kill him. Yet he's giving up power so easily like this?" Kang Moo says, suspicious of his motives.

"If it's because the broadcast and the parents wait for him, the students will be safe." Soo-ho says.

"But I have a bad feeling about this. They might be setting a trap to save Hana and Young Ro only." Seung Hee voices with concern.

The twins look at each other and nod.

"...Can you get in contact with Eun Chang-su?" Hana asks Soo-ho.

"We have an idea that could work." Young Ro adds making the other curious.

A few minutes later, Young Ro is speaking with her father through the walkie talkie.

"What did you say?"

"I'll get in the car with Soo-ho. Until he and his friends leaves the country safely, I will stay by his side." She tells him, shocking the others. Soo-ho looks at Hana who keeps her eyes on Young Ro.

"You can't trust me that much? I will do everything in my power to save the spies lives."

Hana takes the walkie talkie from her twin. "Well, I don't believe you. I'll will be staying in the dorm just in case you try to blow it up. Young Ro will watch Soo-ho and the others leave the country with her own eyes. You're doing things our way whether you like it or not. We're not falling for anymore tricks. Have a good rest, sir." She hangs up and notices everyone looking at her. "What?"

"...Your itch mode is something else." Kang Moo says, amazed by her performance.

"I got it from eomma!" Hana says with a smile and whines when her mother pinches her. "Why did I get pinched? It's true! Ow, stop pinching me!"

"...You both put a lot of thought into this, didn't you? Soo-ho asks Hana after they left the room and walk alongside each other down the hallway.

"It's the only way that we'll all be able to get out of here alive." She replies with a small smile.

"...It's too dangerous for her to come along with us." He says, trying to persuade her to change their minds.

"She knows but she still wanted to go anyway. She loves you too, you know?" She takes his hand. "If I can't stay by your side until the end, then let Young Ro do it in my place. I'll at least be keeping half my promise to you. And once you're safe, you can go get your sister back. Then we'll meet again... Right?"

His mind suddenly thinks back to a recent nightmare he had of him dying in Hana's arms. He forces a smile and pulls her into a hug.

"Don't worry. As long as we're alive, we will...meet again someday." He tells her, keeping his voice steady as he is trying to keep himself from crying. After a moment, he takes a step back and pulls out the dove necklace from under her top. "Make sure to keep this on, okay? I won't worry about you if you're wearing it."

"I will... And when we meet again, I'll return it."

He gives her another forced smile and gently kisses her forehead.

Bonus Scene

Young To heads to the kitchen to meet with Hana after being by Soo-ho. Instead she ends up seeing Hee Tae.

"Hee Tae? Why are you here? Where's Hana?"

He turns around, surprised to see her. "Young Ro? I was supposed to be meeting with Soo-ho."

"...Did Hanny and Soo-ho set us up?" She mumbles and thinks she hears a giggle.

"Want a rice cake? I think that Hana and maybe that punk made these."

"Huh?" She blinks and looks at the table to see a plate of rice cakes on it. She giggles and nods. "Hee Tae, do you still not like Soo-ho?"

"Of course not. No one will ever be good enough for my little star." He mutters as he offers her a rice cake.

"Then why did you come? He was the one who wanted to meet with you." She says after taking a bite out of her snack.

"I refused but Hana kept pinching me and calling me a butthead. I had to practically run from her and before I knew it... I was here." He answers, looking defeated.

She starts laughing and he watches her with an adoring smile. Nearby our favorite couple is hiding, watching them.

"They're so cute!" She nearly squeals. "What do you think, Soosoo?" She looks at her husband and frowns seeing the annoyed look on his face.

"When will he accept me?" He mutters.

"Hey! Focus on the mission!" She tells him with a stern look.

"How can I? He didn't even accept my request to meet!" He whines.

"You're not the one who invited him, I did! You got Young Ro! It was all part of the plan!"

"Wait... Did you not let me talk to Hee Tae because you knew he would say no?" He questions his wife, becoming suspicious of her actions.

She sighs and places a hand on his shoulder. "Look... It's going to take some time for him to finally accept you."

"And how long will that be?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Umm... How long have I known Hee Tae again? Uh... Sixteen years?" She answers making his jaw drop.

We are in episode fifteen now... I can't believe it... It's almost over... I'm not ready!

Also want to clarify something, they still don't know that Chung-ya is also a North Korean spy...for now!

And yes! I plan for Young Ro to go with Soo-ho and the others when they leave. Weren't expecting that were you? Maybe Gyeok-chan and Eung Cheol will get their happy endings after all? We'll see!

Soo-ho had a nightmare about him dying? Uh oh...

And look at Soona being matchmakers! Will it really take sixteen years for Soo-ho to get Hee Tae's approval? Poor Soosoo!😂
