What happens in Serendipity’s Embrace Episode 2?

When he opens the door, she is shocked to see his high school classmate instead of a little girl. Reluctantly, she agrees to keep her promise and hangs out with him. They arrive at a kid-friendly festival because it was Hong-Ju’s initial plan when she thought she would go out with a child. However, the two have fun together, riding rollercoasters and taking pictures. Despite the enjoyment, Hong-Ju keeps calling Hye-Ji as she knows that her friend has a crush on Hu-Yeong. But fate has different plans.
