Happy Merry Ending left us with a huge cliffhanger in the last episode, with Jae Hyun protecting Seung Jun against his toxic ex, Joo Won. Will they have a “happy merry ending” for our two protagonists? Let’s find out in the last two episodes of the series.
Episode 7: One Year Later
The scuffle continues, and as Jae Hyun was about to retaliate against Joo Won’s punch, Seung Jun stops him. Jae Hyun tries to calm down and told Joo Won that he does not know what happened in their past, but he will never let Seung Jun go. He also warns him to never appear in front of Seung Jun again because he will make him regret it. Jae Hyun, then, grabbed Seung Jun’s hand and left the scene as Joo Won pathetically cries out while people recorded the outburst through their phones.
Jae Hyun walks Seung Jun home, and instead of thanking him, Seung Jun asks Jae Hyun to leave. The situation may have taken a toll on him, and as Jae Hyun respected his decision, Seung Jun thinks that he hated that he saw this side of him, more than seeing his ex.
It has been a year ever since they broke up, and Seung Jun seemed to have changed. He made an effort to go after his career goals and is now a singer acknowledged by the public. As Seung Jun was recording his new song, Chan Woo came to the recording studio and there we learn that they are working in the same company. Joo Won, meanwhile, seemed to have met his downfall when it was revealed that he “messed with kids”. Seung Jun’s manager asked him to have dinner together, but he said that he has plans. His “plan” is to meet up with his best friend, Ho Yeon, in the surfing area where he works.
There, the two talk, and Seung Jun thanks Ho Yeon. It seemed that Ho Yeon wanted to confess to Seung Jun but held back, instead, he told him to buy him meat next time as a form of gratitude. Seung Jun thought out loud about wondering how “that person” is. Ho Yeon tells his best friend to go after “that person” before it’s too late. And listening to his advice, Seung Jun goes to Jae Hyun’s old coffee place, but no matter how long he waited, he didn’t come. Despite that, Seung Jun says that he worked so hard to live well in the past year, especially when it came to singing because he wanted to sing confidently in front of him. And so, continuing this goal, he holds an event in celebration of his new song. The emcee points out that the new song was about Seung Jun’s past experiences, and he confirmed that it was, saying that there was a person who helped him during a difficult time when he was suffering from a severe panic attack. Seung Jun, then, sings.
