Returning to the present day, Woo So-jung and Choi Dae-hyun met Cho Soo-young (Lee Won-jung), a high school student who had about 15 days left after being diagnosed with the fourth stage of colon cancer, which was heard from Choi Ye-na. Cho Soo-young said she heard the doctor's warning that the pain would be worse than now for the rest of the time. "I can't wait to die. It's unfair to die, but I don't want to go through that."

Woo So-jung eventually decided to help Cho Soo-young, who is in serious condition, die before Cho Hyun-woo. After that, Woo So-jung went to Father Yang's welfare hospital and happened to meet Cho Hyun-woo, and Cho Hyun-woo said, `I thought about what I really wanted to do, but I wanted to organize my surroundings,' indicating that he engraved Woo So-jung's words to prepare for the end.




Woo So-jung then encountered Cho Hyun-woo, who was sitting on the stairs, and reached out to Cho Hyun-woo, who said "These days, my eyes are often blurred." The two went down the dark stairs together, holding hands tightly, and Jo Hyeon-woo "Why would you do this? The work of helping the dying." In response, Woo So-jung "I think people should be able to choose between life and death. Death is not a crime." He expressed his firm belief in assisted death.

In the meantime, Cho Hyun-woo headed to the nursery where he lived as a child, saying there was a place he wanted to go with Woo So-jung, who told him to spend his last time at the happiest place. In the nursery, Cho Hyun-woo naturally held Woo So-jung's hand and expressed his wish to be last in the neighborhood where he lived with his parents. And Cho Hyun-woo asked Woo So-jung why he chose the assisted death "I tried everything, but nothing changed. I tried everything, so I could give up," he calmly told Woo So-jung.

Woo So-jung, who couldn't give up on Cho, secretly looked into new clinical trials and took Cho Hyun-woo with her, but Cho Hyun-woo "You're just like any other doctor." You don't care how hard or sick a patient is" and burst into anger, shaking off Woo So-jung, who grabbed him and leaving. After that, Woo So-jung searched for Cho Hyun-woo's whereabouts from the delivery company where Cho Hyun-woo used to live to the Gosiwon, but eventually failed to find Cho Hyun-woo.




However, as soon as Woo So-jung returned to the welfare hospital and was threatened by her violent husband assaulting the patient, Cho Hyun-woo appeared and rescued Woo So-jung. Woo So-jung treated Cho Hyun-woo, who injured his hand while hitting a pot at his violent husband, and Woo So-jung and Cho Hyun-woo apologized to each other for their previous incidents. At the same time, when Cho Hyun-woo handed Woo So-jung a hairpin as a gift to put it in the flowing bangs, Woo So-jung choked up.

Woo So-jung turned to Cho Hyun-woo and said, `Do you want to end it like that?``I want you to liveconfess one's special heart that " Cho Hyun-woo was shaken by Woo So-jung's sincerity in wanting him to live, and eventually confirmed his mind by giving Woo So-jung a faint kiss.

On the other hand, on this day's broadcast, Woo So-jung's father-in-law, who appeared at the Gosiwon where he went to find Cho Hyun-woo, raised doubts by paying for Cho Hyun-woo's room, which was delayed. Moreover, while Woo So-jung and Cho Hyun-woo were causing sadness by kissing, when his father called Cho Hyun-woo on the crowded street, Cho Hyun-woo with a completely different face appeared, shocking what Cho's real identity would be.

The third episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 『Merry Kills People" will air at 10 p.m. on the 8th (Friday).
