Lee Sung-kyoung and Chae Jong Hyeop embraced each other's wounds and completed an even deeper 'mutual salvation romance.'
On the 14th, episode 7 of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama In Your Radiant Season (planned by Namgung Seong-woo, written by Jo Seong-hee, directed by Jeong Sang-hee and Kim Young-jae) aired, in which Sun Woo-chan (played by Chae Jong Hyeop) and Song Ha-ran (played by Lee Sung-kyoung) confirmed their love with a tearful kiss.
On that day's broadcast, Sun Woo-chan and Song Ha-ran naturally held hands in the taxi returning home from the airport, adding to the fluttering feeling. Arriving at the cafe "Rest," Sun Woo-chan poured out his heart to Genius (a dog). He said, "Like I didn't know I was fake, why I became fake, or that I survived and that friend died because of that accident, I just want to keep doing whatever my heart leads me to. Would it be wrong to act really crazy and greedy just until I go back?" revealing his tender feelings toward Ha-ran.
At the news of Sun Woo-chan's return, the Nana Atelier members gathered at the cafe "Rest" to hold a comeback party. In the warm atmosphere, Sun Woo-chan accidentally dropped a glass cleaner bottle and recalled another fragment of memory. He began writing down the "1-inch" pieces of memory one by one and started fitting the scattered memories together like a puzzle, realizing that a 1-inch clue was connected to Cha Su-jin (played by Lee Joo-yeon). At the same time, a scene depicted Cha Su-jin, wearing the bracelet from Sun Woo-chan's memory, returning to Korea, signaling a new development.
Meanwhile, with Sun Woo-chan's return, the animation project was also restarted. Kim Nana (played by Lee Mi-Sook) separately called Sun Woo-chan to lunch and told the story of why she had no choice but to raise Song Ha-ran strongly after she lost her parents and boyfriend and fell into despair. Kim Nana said, "Thank you for making Ha-ran smile again," expressing sincere gratitude, and Sun Woo-chan revealed his complicated feelings, saying he might not always be a purely good person to Ha-ran.
Later, Sun Woo-chan and Song Ha-ran visited the pottery exhibition of maternal grandmother Kim Sean (played by Kang Ae-sim). There, Sun Woo-chan faced his father, Sun Woo-seok (played by Jeong Hae-kyun), from whom he had been estranged since the accident seven years earlier. Trying to avoid his father, Sun Woo-chan recalled memories of past assault and showed intense emotions. During the scuffle between the two, the exhibition showcase broke and shards flew, injuring Song Ha-ran's face. Seeing this, Sun Woo-chan, as if losing his reason, grabbed his father by the collar and exploded in anger, heightening the tension.
At the same time, questions about Sun Woo-chan from Park Man-jae (played by Kang Seok-woo) grew. While folding Sun Woo-chan's laundry, Man-jae found the fountain pen Song Ha-ran had lost in his pocket, and through the delivery address from the United States, learned that he had been in Boston, which was connected to Song Ha-ran's former boyfriend Kang Hyuk-chan. Through Sun Woo-seok and Sun Woo-chan's conversation, Song Ha-ran also learned that Sun Woo-chan had been an engineering student in the past. Hidden truths surrounding Sun Woo-chan began to surface one by one, raising curiosity about what stories will unfold next.
Later, Song Ha-ran waited for Sun Woo-chan at the cafe "Rest" and met him again. She confessed that the sad memories had somehow become all right, saying it was because Sun Woo-chan covered them with good memories. She then said, "I don't think there is an absolute in any relationship," and handed him the watch his father had left behind. It was the watch she had given him on Parents' Day when they were children. Just as Sun Woo-chan had warmly covered Ha-ran's memories, this time Ha-ran soothed his painful time.
At the end of the broadcast, Sun Woo-chan revealed his unstoppable feelings for Song Ha-ran, saying, "If things get better I might want more," and the two confirmed their love with a tearful kiss. The relationship that began as a three-month trial friendship reached the pinnacle of a "mutual salvation romance," leaving a deep aftertaste.
