2 Woo-Yeon did not wait to finish Seung-Hee’s wedding, he was the first one to leave–along with his feelings for her. As the door eventually closes, it was an indication of something ending– a chance for another love with Seung-Hee.
In this scene, they were persistent enough to run around the rain just to get to their favorite hangout spot, only for it to be closed due to a wedding anniversary.
