In The Atypical Family episode 7, Gwi-Joo returns to the moment Da-Hae left him at the altar. He learns that her family knows about his family’s powers. Furthermore, Gwi-Joo witnesses Da-Hae and his conversation, and she rejects him harshly. She also notices time traveler Gwi-Joo standing behind her.
Meanwhile, the Bok family badmouths Da-Hae and her fake family. On the other hand, Da-Hae’s fake mother is disappointed in her and locks her up in a room. The next day, Gwi-Joo’s daughter Yi-Na (Park So-Yi) has difficulty at school. While Joon-Woo (Moon Woo-Jin) attempts to cheer her up, Hye-Rim’s (Kim Soo-In) behavior makes Yi-Na anxious. She loses her glasses while running away from her classmates.
At her home, Yi-Na’s grandfather, Soon-Gu, assumes she has gone missing. Meanwhile, the kid arrives at Da-Hae’s sauna place. Her mother brings her inside and tries to question the child about her powers. When Da-Hae appears, Yi-Na questions whether she didn’t marry her father out of love. Da-Hae avoids eye contact because she knows the kid possesses the power to read the mind by looking into one’s eyes.
Da-Hae buys Yi-Na a new pair of glasses and learns why she ran to her instead of going home. Da-Hae is the only one who knows about Yi-Na’s powers; thus, the kid is comfortable around her. Their bittersweet banter ends when Gwi-Joo arrives to pick up Yi-Na. He assumes that Da-Hae must have lured his daughter out for a scheme. But Yi-Na defends Da-Hae and appears concerned about her.

Da-Hae’s sister Grace (Rye Abel) creates a situation so that she can record Dong-Hee’s powers and the family can use it to blackmail the Bok clan. When Dong-Hee jumps, her power doesn’t work, and she falls straight to the ground. Fortunately, Gwi-Joo arrives on time, and she lands on him.
These incidents lead to a misunderstanding, as Gwi-Joo’s mother, Man-Heum, thinks Da-Hae kidnapped Yi-Na and hurt Dong-Hee. Towards the end of the episode, Yi-Na requests her father to investigate why Da-Hae called off the wedding. Gwi-Joo travels back to that moment and learns how badly Da-Hae’s family treats her.

She asks, “Why do you keep looking back at times with me?” He holds her hand and says, “Don’t let me go.” The episode ends with all the moments when the two have held hands.
