Episode 7 of "Melo Movie" unfolds with Ko Jun's narrative at its core, unveiling a life untouched by genuine surprise—neither the tragic loss of their parents at age 20 nor the accident five years later left a ripple in his composed demeanor. He harbored no deep desires, forged no profound friendships, remaining an enigma even to himself.
In parallel, Ko-gyeom embarks on a poignant journey to trace his brother's footsteps, seeking clarity on the fateful accident. Road conditions and the misty weather pose no anomalies; instead, a haunting realization gradually takes shape—Ko Jun lacked the will to continue living. Piecing together the clues, Ko-gyeom concludes with a heavy heart that his brother's fateful day was a deliberate attempt to end his life.
Present-day unfolds with Ko-gyeom and Moo-bi's blossoming romance, official and vibrant. Jeong-hu, as per Ko-gyeom's request, keeps a watchful eye over Ko Jun, revealing a heart-wrenching truth: Ko Jun's heart is failing, and his days are numbered.
Elsewhere, a meeting reveals Ju-a's discovery of Ko-gyeom and Moo-bi's relationship. She and Si-jun find solace in an udon restaurant, revisiting their shared memories. Ju-a opens up, confessing she suppressed her true desires in their relationship, mistaking unconditional love for Si-jun as synonymous with adopting his every preference.
Ko Jun's demeanor undergoes a sudden transformation, as he insists on venturing outdoors, hosting movie nights, and even planning an overseas trip. However, this change triggers a poignant confrontation between the brothers. Ko-gyeom, heeding Moo-bi's mother's advice to avoid silence at all costs, confronts Ko Jun about his suicide attempt. The dialogue leaves Ko Jun shattered, while Ko-gyeom, equally overwhelmed, seeks solace with Moo-bi.
The following day, as Ko-gyeom and Jeong-hu prepare Ko Jun's belongings for his hospital stay, Ko-gyeom stumbles upon a letter tucked within his brother's diary. Ko Jun's handwritten words reveal a heartfelt truth—throughout his life, he had always chosen Ko-gyeom, finding his reason to live in his brother's presence. Through Ko-gyeom, Ko Jun discovered a purpose, a will to exist. Most poignantly, he confesses his desperate longing to live once more.
