As Seong-ah prepares for the final day of Gyeon-woo’s curse, emotional wounds resurface. Meanwhile, a terrifying spirit grows stronger in the abandoned shack.
🏃♂️ Back to the Shack – Where It All Began
As the class navigates a group challenge, Seong-ah and Gyeon-woo stray near the abandoned house—the center of supernatural tension since Episode 1. The air grows heavy. Gyeon-woo feels it. So does Seong-ah.
💔 “I Think She Cried Because of Me”
The emotional core of the episode lies in Gyeon-woo’s reflection. He admits something heartbreaking:
“I think she cried because of me.”
It’s his first true moment of guilt, vulnerability, and recognition that Seong-ah’s suffering isn’t just spiritual—it’s personal.
His classmates, unaware of the curse, turn this into banter—but viewers feel the weight.
🧿 The Curse Nears Its Final Day – One More to Go
Seong-ah marks the calendar: one day left. That’s all she has to protect him. But something’s off. Gyeon-woo starts experiencing cold flashes, strange noises, and sleepwalking.
The death spirit isn’t fading—it’s gathering strength.
💬 “What Is It You’re Not Telling Me?”
In a rare quiet scene, Gyeon-woo asks Seong-ah, “What haven’t you told me?”
She hesitates. Because the truth is terrifying: someone must die to stop the curse. But she doesn’t say it.
This silence becomes a burden shared between them. The more they try to protect each other, the further apart they drift.
😱 Spirit Possession Returns – This Time, It Speaks
Midway through the episode, a fellow classmate becomes briefly possessed, speaking in a distorted voice:
“He is mine. His time is up.”
Seong-ah reacts immediately, placing a talisman on the boy’s chest. But she knows—this is just a warning.
👁️ Flashback: Seong-ah’s Childhood Trauma
A surprising reveal: Seong-ah once visited the same shack as a child—and saw someone die.
This trauma explains her obsession with the place, her heightened fear, and her connection to the spirit. The curse didn’t start with Gyeon-woo. It’s been circling her for years.
💞 The Near-Kiss and Honest Eyes
Toward the end, Seong-ah and Gyeon-woo stand under starlight. She reaches to fix his collar. He grabs her hand. They don’t kiss—but they look at each other, unguarded.
It’s not romantic in a dramatic sense. It’s fragile, quiet, and real. Their relationship has moved beyond charm. It’s become mutual respect and care.
⚠️ The Spirit Shows Its Face
In the final scene, the shack doors creak open without wind. A cold mist spills out. For the first time, we see a full silhouette of the spirit in the window.
It’s not just a ghost. It’s the form of something ancient—nearly deity-like.
🔮 Teaser for Episode 8:
The final 24 hours begin. A death must occur. But who will be the sacrifice? Seong-ah faces her biggest decision yet—and Gyeon-woo might make the choice for her.
