Jerome’s Dream About Jin’s Mother in Head 2 Head Episode 8

Head 2 Head episode 8 begins with Jerome having dreams while lying on a hospital bed due to the accident in the previous episode. He dreams of Jin hugging his mother’s picture while mourning her death. In the dream, Jin’s father is also present. Meanwhile, Jerome’s mother comforts Jin as he cries over his mother’s death.

Elsewhere, Jerome, Van, Farm, and Mai look at Jin through the window. When morning comes, Jerome goes to Jin’s house, but no one answers. He enters the house, goes straight to Jin’s room, and knocks. Jerome doesn’t find Jin there. Instead, he finds a letter from Jin asking him not to look for him.

Jerome wakes up terrified. When he sees Jin, he immediately hugs him, which surprises their mothers. Jerome cries hard as he embraces Jin, but when his mother taps him, he acts like everything is fine.

Jerome’s mother reports the accident to the police and insists on staying the night with Jerome. However, Jerome refuses and tells her to rest with his father instead. Jin escorts their mothers outside before returning to Jerome’s room.

As soon as Jin comes back, he asks Jerome why he skipped classes and ended up at his mother’s boutique. Jerome is about to answer when Farm and Van arrive at the room.

Farm Urges Van to Open Up More

Elsewhere in Head 2 Head episode 8, Farm smokes on the balcony when Van approaches him, causing Farm to unintentionally blow smoke directly at Van. He asks if Farm is stressed, and Farm responds by saying that he received a call from his family. Van then wonders about Farm’s family matters since Farm rarely talks about them.

He adds that Farm seems mysterious and barely posts anything online. Farm grabs Van’s arm and takes a photo, but Van immediately pulls away. When Farm looks at the photo, he notices redness on Van’s arms. Farm asks what happened, and Van explains that he’s allergic to smoke.

While Farm applies serum to Van’s allergies, he asks if there are other things he should know about him. Van tells him not to take things too seriously. Farm responds with a boyfriend remark, saying, “If dating me doesn’t make your life better, then why bother?”

To ease Farm’s worries, Van assures him that he’ll slowly open up along the way.

Jin Refuses a Connection With His Father

While sitting on the sofa, Jin and his mother, Jan, see Jin’s father on television. Jan comments that even after all these years, Jin’s father remains handsome. She mentions that it’s a shame Jin almost had a famous last name. Jin responds with clear dislike.

Jan says that ten years have already passed and suggests that Jin shouldn’t hold grudges against his father. Jin replies that he still remembers how his father never wanted him. He declares that his mother is his only parent and asks her not to talk about his father anymore, assuring her that she is enough for him.

Meanwhile, Jerome goes to Jin’s room to sleep. Jin opens up about how much he hates it when his mother talks about his dad. Jerome asks Jin if he would forgive his father if he regretted leaving them. Jerome urges Jin to hear his father out, which makes Jin suspicious that Jerome knows something.

Jin asks Jerome if he’s taking his father’s side. Jerome explains that he only wants Jin to see another perspective. This leads Jin to ask if Jerome dreamed about it—whether Jin forgave his father or chased him away. A flashback of Jerome’s dream shows Jin chasing his father away. To avoid answering, Jerome tells Jin to just sleep.

Van’s Habits That Can Hurt Farm in Head 2 Head Episode 8

Elsewhere, some students approach Jerome, Farm, Jin, and Van. The girls ask them to model for the freshmen. Jerome, Jin, and Farm refuse, but when the girls mention a name, Van immediately agrees, saying that one of the freshmen—Nina—already has his number.

While walking, Van receives a text from Nina asking to see him. At first, Farm insists on coming along, but Van says there’s no need. That night, Farm waits for Van at their condo. Van doesn’t send any messages, which makes Farm worried—and frustrated.

The next morning, Farm looks visibly pissed. When Van arrives, Jin asks if taking body measurements really requires spending the night. Van looks at Farm before answering and says that he stayed at a friend’s place, not Nina’s. Farm leaves, and Van follows him.

Van apologizes, but Farm remains upset. Van tries to explain himself, but Farm only asks if Van truly wants to be with him. Farm says that if they break up now, they can still go back to being friends.

As Farm starts to leave, Van hugs him from behind and tells him that he isn’t breaking up with him.
