In the past, Hye-Jin almost attacked Gi-Seop with a baseball bat because he broke her friend’s heart. Coming back to the present, he spots Jin-Woo with Hye-Jin at a park. In fear, he grabs Jin-Woo’s hand and runs away from her while she curses at Gi-Seop. Once the two catch their breaths, Jin-Woo asks why they ran.

While Balg-Eum spends the day with In-Ho, Gi-Seop takes his shift at the cafe. Hye-Jin visits the cafe and lashes out at Gi-Seop, stating that no one will ever love him. She emphasizes that Jin-Woo doesn’t like him and wants to date her.
Meanwhile, Jin-Woo realizes that he still has strong feelings for Gi-Seop. He messages Hye-Jin to meet him, as he wants to say something. When the two meet, Jin-Woo confesses his love for Gi-Seop.
