Go-Hwan's father wakes up every morning for exercise. Soon, it is revealed that he wants to participate in a marathon with his son, who is in a wheelchair. Go-Hwan is worried, but his father wraps him with thick blankets and ties him to the wheelchair. Before finishing the marathon, the father collapses due to exhaustion and accidentally pushes Go Hwan down the road. An ambulance takes the father away. The father tries to tell about his son, who fell face down the cliff. Later in the evening, the news reports about Go-Hwan, who is found by a driver.

Go-Hwan's best friends Nam-Joon and Gab-Duk are shocked upon hearing the news. They find Go-Hwan's mother in front of the hospital. She tells them to come visit her son before he dies.
