Coincidence
Dong-jin joins the statistics class and befriends Joong-hyuk at university, and they become best friends.

Error of Statistics
The statistics report Dong-jin wrote returns to him after his mother's death, and a battle within himself begins. He takes time off work and finds a place to live next to Mi-jung to get closer.

Afterward, he returns to his hometown to find clues that will break Mi-jung's witch's curse.

As the puzzle pieces fall into place, Dong-jin realises the only way truly to validate his findings is to put himself to the ultimate test.
