Why does Yeon Su decide to stay the night with Choi Ung in Our Beloved Summer?

Yeon Su ponders her kiss with Choi Ung for days before she steps out to talk to her friend. It is when she speaks to her friend that she realizes why she had been worried all these days.

Since the kiss, she did not have the courage to reach out to Choi Ung because she is worried that he may call it a big mistake.

She wants him and is very much in love with him in Our Beloved Summer. Choi Ung may not feel the same way and that is what worries her the most. So she gets drunk instead and arrives at Choi Ung’s doorstep to take out her anger and frustration at him.

She decides to have it out with him and berates him for not reaching out to her after that kiss in Our Beloved Summer.

He handles her with ease. It is as if he perfectly understands her temperament and lets her rant before he speaks. Choi Ung tells her that he is not going to call the kiss a mistake but he doesn't want to date her again either.

The dark time that he experienced in the past after breaking up with Yeon Su is still fresh in his mind. He doesn’t want to return to such depressing days in Our Beloved Summer.

Yet, he is also aware of the fact that he may not be able to live without Yeon Su. That is why he suggests that the two of them become friends. However, the idea is alien to Yeon Su. This new approach confuses and annoys her.

So she decides to play along and acts as she would with a friend. She tells him that she is going to stay the night at his place. The next morning, she refuses to leave. This push and pull dynamic between the two continues in Our Beloved Summer.

That very night, Yeon Su realizes that she must make her own plans if she wants to restart their relationship. The question now is if she will be successful.
